Biography

THE DEAD LAY WAITING

Formed in 2007, The Dead Lay Waiting are a youthful 5-piece modern metal band. After playing furiously through the U.K the band landed a slot as 'Bloodstock' in 2008. Following this the band signed to 'Rising Records' (Trigger The Bloodshed, Bleed From Within & Mendeed' where they recorded their debut album 'We Rise' in Jan 2009 & released at the ages of 16/17 in January 2010 & receiving a '3K' Rating from Kerrang and a '7/10' from Metal Hammer. While preparing for the bands first album the boys were lucky enough to play with bands such as 'Opeth', 'Architects' & 'Skindred' at the highly acclaimed 'Hammer Festival 2009'

During 2010 the band toured relentlessly, with bands such as Trigger The Bloodshed, Bleed From Within & Sarah Jezebel Deva (ex Cradle Of Filth), as well as performing at the much acclaimed Download festival.

After gaining much tour experience, the band embarked on their 2nd album entitled ‘Almost Heaven’ which was released on 13th June 2011 to coincide with their 2nd appearance at Download Festival as a main support act. The album features 14 tracks and 60 minutes of pulsating music. The album also marks the return of Barry Clayton, the voice behind the now well-known intro to Iron Maiden’s 'Number Of the Beast'. 'The Days I'm Gone', was the bands first video release for Almost Heaven and crept its way up to No.8 in the highly acclaimed 'Scuzz T.V' charts.

Following the bands success and doing 'Blue Banana' signing sessions all around the U.K, The Dead Lay Waiting were nominated for the prestigious award ceremonies in the following two categories:

Kerrang: Best British Newcomer Band Metal Hammer: Best Underground Band

The boys also had the tremendous experience leading up to the Metal Hammer Awards Ceremony by jumping aboard the Metal Hammer Boat (Aka 'HMS Hammer') to open up the stage for the amazing bands 'Black Spider, Tesseract & Bio Hazzard' which travels up the River Thames to the awards ceremony.

Before 2011 could make a close, the guys manage to tour for 2 more months in the U.K & Europe and record another music video from their 2nd album 'Burnt To Ashes' whilst writing their 3rd album on the road.

As 2012 pokes its head, The Dead Lay Waiting are already recording their 3rd release In Barbados, whilst also recording 2 brand new music videos for the mini-album.

Being back in the U.K & applying the finishing touches to their best release yet. They prepare themselves for another year of touring, festivals, signing sessions & events.

Press

"With a constant storm of diamond hard riffs underpinned by incessant rhythmic battery combined with a real ear for a soaring chorus...'We Rise' maybe less of a title than a declaration" - KERRANG! (U.K)

"What you get is the sense of a band striving to be a little outside the norm and carrying it off well. Almost Heaven is a convincing way to begin what should be a triumphant march!" - METAL HAMMER (U.K)

"Almost Heaven is a musical journey through blastbeats, demonic roars and high velocity shredding. The Dead Lay Waiting are wearing their influences on their sleeves and blowing up speakers en rout" -TERRORIZER (U/K)

"Almost Heaven is a strong second album from a band that has a seriously bright future ahead of them as long as they can continue to grow past their genre." - Craveonline.com
