METAL SUPERGROUP FEATURING DAVE LOMBARDO (SLAYER), JUSTIN PEARSON (THE LOCUST), MICHAEL CRAIN (RETOX), AND MIKE PATTON (FAITH NO MORE) CREATES AN EVENT WITH THE RELEASE OF THEIR DEBUT ALBUM
The creation of Dead Cross stemmed from a series of unusual schedules, failed plans, and last-minute musical experiments. Gigs were booked before a single song was written, and fans were there before a single show took place. The chaos surrounding its creation seems appropriate; after all, the band is entirely composed of well-established artists who are all accustomed to making their intelligent dissonances seem like disorder. Composed of Dave Lombardo (ex-Slayer, Misfits, Suicidal Tendencies), Justin Pearson (The Locust, Retox, Head Wound City), Michael Crain (Retox), and Mike Patton (Faith No More, Fantômas, Mr. Bungle), the impressive, extensive, and eclectic list of past bands of the members playing here would be enough to ensure the rigid ferocity of this music... but a summary isn't even necessary here. Dead Cross stands on its own, with multi-layered demonic and brilliant vocals, frantic guitar riffs, and brutal rhythms.
