Dividead

History

Dividead is a French melodic death metal band which saw the light of day in April 2006 when Guillaume (drums) met Thibaud (guitar). Fabien (keyboards), who played previously with Guillaume in a prog metal band joined them, as well as Eric (bass) and Jeff (guitar) who both played with Thibaud in his preceding heavy/thrash metal band. Only a few weeks later Pierre (vocals) joined Dividead to complete the line-up.

The band started by establishing a set of covers, before working on their own compositions. They played their first concerts in the French Riviera area before Jeff left the band for professional reasons. He was replaced by Julien, a friend of Guillaume.

In March 2007 the first EP, entitled 'Beyond Death' was recorded. It contains 6 tracks (including an intro) for almost half an hour of music. It was released on September the 5th 2007. And with it, the band are hunting for a record deal.

The music of Dividead is inspired by Scandinavian bands such as Dark Tranquillity, In Flames or Children Of Bodom. It mixes death, thrash and heavy metal, with a permanent will to combine aggression and melody. Their brutal sound is associated with the melodic and harmonic aspects which are prominent in each and every Dividead composition.
