Pre-order Destruction Is All We Know here.
Since forming in Martinez, CA in 2004, Almost Dead has been churning out an aggressive blend of thrash, groove metal and hardcore. The group’s sound is influenced by the likes of Pantera and Sepultura, infused with that of their local Bay Area scene like Testament and Machine Head, as well as incorporating more modern influences such as New England metalcore and New York death metal. Almost Dead has created their own original style that still includes all the elements of metal you know and love.
On the forthcoming album, Almost Dead take their sound even further into realms of the extreme, building off all of their previous influences, incorporating new ones, and growing their reach both internationally and domestically.
