Biography

There are two bands that go under the name of Deadweight:

1. Deadweight (UK) A brutal technical death metal 5 piece from Birmingham, England. Were signed to indie label ‘Feto Record’. Their debut album ‘Origins of Darkness’ is in shops now. Expect shredding, pummelling, pulverising, miss shaped noises in your ears. www.myspace.com/deadweightuk. The band split in early 2009.

2. Deadweight (US) is an alternative rock trio from San Francisco, California. Playing the violin and cello through a variety of guitar effects, their studio recorded material is surprisingly hard rock. Live performances display an eclecticism that has conjured a variety of descriptions by critics. Examples include, “(howling) like something out of Beethoven’s most twisted hallucinations,” “Eastern European Gypsy songs sung in the back of a big rig driven across tornado country by the ghost of the Marlboro Man” and “Charlie Daniels in hell playing a combination of Bartok and Zeppelin.” Barnes has stated both Jimmy Page and Charlie Daniels are influences for their sound. Deadweight were winners of the SF Weekly’s 1998 Wammy award for the category of “Beyond.”

    The artistpage is blocked and can not be edited, which is lame. There is also a Dutch Deadweight, a metal/gardcore band active since 1999. ( check them out http://www.myspace.com/deadweightnl

    I've yet to hear the UK Deadweight, but the one from San Francisco definitely does not suck.

    Black and Grey is the only song I've heard from them. First heard it like 7 years ago when I was in middle school, before I got into progressive music. Absolutely loved it back then. And now I see they're actually a prog band? Fucking awesome. Now I'm going to have to go listen to more of their stuff.
