Vancouver-based doom metal mercenaries DEAD QUIET have shared a new single, “No Gods, No Gold”, off of their upcoming album “IV” – out June 9th via Artoffact Records!
The single follows two previously released singles, “High Roads” and “The Hanging Man.” Each took listeners on their respective journeys with a soundtrack full of bluesy keyboard riffs and raspy, catching vocals, leaving them itching for the next track to drop – a wait which ends today!
On “No Gods, No Gold” vocalist Kevin Keegan comments on coming out of a feeling highly relatable to so many: “The pandemic took the wind out of a lot of band’s sails and this song is sort of a reflection of that; us sitting on some ideas, hoping we get to write and perform them again together some day. The song becomes a victorious anthem of powering through some dark times and seeing some light at the end of the tunnel.”

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.
Commenting on “High Roads”, vocalist/guitarist Kevin Keegan says, “I think High Roads might be the most rock n’ roll song we’ve written. There’s a lot of soul in this song and it’s a ton of fun to play. The keyboard solo is one of our funnest moments yet.”
“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.”
