You can't kill a Deadman...
Once again, Deadman rises from the ashes, stonger and more self confident than ever.
»The Sound and the Fury« is the fifth Deadman album and it is a complete change of pace for DEADMAN, who has spent the last two major releases exploring traditional songwriting. With “The Sound and The Fury”, DEADMAN returns to it’s earliest roots in delving straight into rock and roll and large themes that explore the current western culture. “In writing and recording ‘Take Up Your Mat and Walk”, I was interested in what songs sounded like recorded by a band with limited technology, just playing together with limited processing and organic instruments, very little effects on the guitars and etc. But with ‘The Sound and The Fury’, I became very interested in turning up both the volume and the energy. The studio became an instrument again. I wanted the record to be a cry in the wilderness of complacency, affluence and post-modernism.” says Steven Collins
“The Sound and The Fury” is the fully realized idea behind the prolog-like EP “How Shall We Then Live?”. The two pieces go hand in hand thematically but with very different musical style.
There's been a couple of Deadman band versions earlier. In the first years of the new millenium, Mark Howard (U2, Bob Dylan, Daniel Lanois, Lucinda Williams) produced two Deadman-album, »Paramour« (2001) and »Our Eternal Ghosts« (2004). At the time, Deadman was Steven Collins and his former wife. Both albums got great review, they toured extensily but soon both the band and the marriage collaped.
After a move to Austin and a couple of years of songwriting, Steven Collins was ready for a new band. The 2.0 version recorded two albums »Live at Saxon Pub« and »Take Up You Mat and Walk« and did several tours in Europe before folding in 2012.
Now Steven Collins is back with a new four piece band and a brilliant new album. Listen to »The Sound and the Fury«!
