Biography:
“Not quite normal” is a statement that every fan of the Upper Austrian metal band would probably agree with. With their numerous performances, they have been consistently present since 2011. Their individual style has already attracted the attention of many a major promoter, which has brought them, among other things, an appearance at the Slovenian Metal Days. This band is probably not that easy to put into words, but the increasing demand shows that they know how to inspire. A few years ago, the metal-loving guys found a common passion, which immediately resulted in the founding of Dead Territory manifested. Driven by their interest in 80’s thrash and death metal bands, they formed their own distinctive style. The band’s own homes had to be used for the band rehearsals, which didn’t always meet with enthusiasm from the neighbors. Despite frequent recommendations, they are limited Dead Territory not a style. Melodic riffs, hard drumlines as well as socially critical but also entertaining lyrics are exactly what distinguishes them and what they do well. Hardly anyone can resist banging along to their songs.
