dead7 RETURN WITH VIDEO FOR NEW SINGLE “CANNIBAL” WATCH
St. Louis quartet dead7 — Jason Kozik [vocals], Dexter Greer [guitar], Tim Quinn [guitar], Stephen Salyer [bass], and Zach Guinn [drums] — are back and in a big way. The band has just dropped the video for new single “Cannibal.”
The gritty, guitar-forward track yanks back the curtain on a topic most of us can relate to — battling the negative thoughts that rage inside your head, which essentially amounts to fighting with yourself — while the band stepped outside of its comfort zone when penning the song.
“‘Cannibal’ is a song that represents how someone with a mental disorder may feel,” says frontman Jason Kozik. “This song dives into the feelings and thoughts I’ve been dealt while battling major depressive disorder. No matter how well things are going in life or anything positive that’s been happening, there’s still that one thought in your head stopping yourself from enjoying life and the things in it. We wanted to find a good balance between the heavier side of our instrumentals while including a few newer things for us.”
dead7 temper thick guitar-driven grooves with entrancing electronics, ethereal keys, and evocative vocals. After amassing millions of streams and building buzz independently, the band’s immersive vision underscored their full-length debut LP, LOVE WHAT YOU CAN WHILE YOU GOT SOMETHING LEFT TO LOVE [SharpTone Records].
