Dead Before Impact Chats of Summer Plans and the Creativity Behind the Music!

 


Metalcore band DEAD BEFORE IMPACT have a couple of single's along with an EP, with some all new music in the works as well. The band chats about their music abilities, creativeness, and playing shows in time for Valentine's as well as this coming summer!

 

1. Where did you get the idea for the band name, you planned it or came out just like that?

The vocalists, Blake and Tristan came up with the name on a night of drinking after comparing their mental struggles to being dead before impact.

2. Why did you want to play this genre?

The majority of the band grew up in the scene and looked up to other bands growing up. Tristan wanted to make music with friends and was decently new but has grown to love the community behind metalcore and is just as invested as the rest of us.

3. Did you know each other before the band was formed?

Yes, the two vocalists and drummer were friends in high school and Tristan met Joe(guitar) in college. Blake and Ty(drummer) were very briefly in another band in high school but reunited when Ty joined Dead Before Impact.

4. Where is the band based out of and what is your music scene like there? Are there any local bands you could recommend?

We are based out in Nashville, TN. Nashville’s metal scene is growing rapidly and we love to be a part of it. Joe is in another band Counterfeit and Ty is in a black metal group Nocturnal Pulse. We also love Majora and Bloodveil.

5. Who or what inspires you to write songs?

If we are talking bands that were inspirations, Linkin Park, Korn, We Came As Romans, and Bring Me the Horizon are only a few we can name in a short interview. As far as motivation, writing songs that connect with people who feel the same way we do or feel isolated motivate us to keep writing.

6. What are your songs about? (What specific themes do they cover?)

Mental health, past relationships and the complexities of the society in which we live in.

7. Do you write your own songs? (Discuss the songwriting process in detail.)

Yes, we write everything that we release. We self produce most projects and start there. We tend to write in the studio and build around the track. We try to have all four of us in the studio as often as possible but occasionally virtually meet.

8. What have you released so far and what can someone expect from your works?

We’ve released an EP and two singles up this point. Authentic lyrics with dark thrash tones with some melodic electronic influences.

9. Do you have any new music in the works?

Yes, we are always working on new music and plan to release several new songs this year. 

10. How about playing shows and touring, have anything planned out?

Yes, we have two shows in Nashville, TN booked for February 14th 2025 and June 2025. We plan on playing outside of Nashville later this year. 

11. What plans do you have for the future as a band?

We plan to continue making music and hope to reach as many people as possible. We’re in this for life.

12. Where can we listen to your band and where can we buy your stuff?

We are on all streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. You can find our merch at https://www.deadbeforeimpact.com/ or catch us at a show and get exclusive merch not sold online.
