DEAD QUIET RELEASE FINAL SINGLE “DYING TO LIVE AGAIN” FROM UPCOMING ALBUM “IV”
“IV” OUT JUNE 9TH VIA ARTOFFACT RECORDS – PRE-ORDER!
LISTEN TO “DYING TO LIVE AGAIN” ON SPOTIFY, BANDCAMP, APPLE MUSIC!
Today, Vancouver’s DEAD QUIET share “Dying To Live Again,” from their forthcoming album “IV” – out June 9th via Toronto’s Artoffact Records!
The wait is ALMOST over. Last but definitely not least, Dead Quiet has delivered the final single from their quickly approaching album. While every single from this album has had its own reason to get you pumped up for the release, “Dying To Live Again” is indisputably the perfect last single to preface the full-length. Every element of this song screams “give me more” and leaves you not simply wanting, but needing more.
On the single, Kevin Keegan comments: “We love writing long songs and we spared no expense with this one. The various movements in this song often times remind me of musical theatre. I know that’s not a very heavy metal thing to say, but shit, we are a bunch of geeks.”
Fan anticipation has grown incrementally with each of the previously released singles – “Leave The Light On,” “No Gods, No Gold,” “High Roads,” and “The Hanging Man.” Each single has taken listeners on their respective journeys with soundtracks full of emotion, bluesy keyboard riffs, and raspy, catching vocals, leaving them itching for what’s next – and the whole album is nearly here!

PRE-ORDER “IV” HERE
Not wasting any time disguising itself as anything other than a heavy-hitting classic rock ‘n’ roll track, “High Roads” leaves listeners feeling introspective with lyrics like “No time like the present/No time for defeat”, and is jam-packed with grungy guitars and ripping keyboard riffs. “The Hanging Man” follows suit, reflecting on feeling like a scapegoat and punching bag for other people’s struggles, when one is not able to take responsibility for their own actions. “No Gods, No Gold,” digs deep into the sense of longing felt during the pandemic, touching on how it took the wind out of many bands’ sails, but eventually becoming a victorious anthem of resilience where the light is seen at the end of the tunnel. “Leave The Light On,” a special song about loss and a tribute to good friends of the band, Kevin Keegan comments is “by far the saddest song we ever wrote,” and sees beautiful collaborations with Becky Black (Pack AD) and Marin Patenaude on vocals, and Matt Kelly (City and Colour) on slide guitar.
“IV” will follow September 2020’s “Truth and Ruin”, which was a favourite of Exclaim! Magazine, Beatroute, V13, and more – reaching #1 on the National Canadian Campus Radio (Loud) and also being featured on CBC Rock Canada.
On the album, Keegan says “This, our 4th album, feels like the most fully explored of any of them. We really arranged everything as a group and it has the most character because of that. It’s definitely an adventure.”
