History

Deadscape are a five-piece melodic death metal band, founded in late 2015 and based in Sofia, Bulgaria. Originally a solo project by lead guitarist Ivan Bratoev, it transformed into a band with the arrival of bassist/clean vocalist Alexander Trifonov. The duo then started exchanging experience, polishing what was already composed and working on new material as well, drawing inspiration mainly from the Scandinavian melodic death metal scene and bands such as Insomnium, In Flames, Before The Dawn, Dark Tranquillity.

After a couple of years and numerous personnel changes, the current line-up was formed with the coming of full-time drummer Ivan Kolev, harsh vocalist Mirela Kaneva and rhythm guitarist Ani Dimitrova. Meanwhile, the band was officially named Deadscape and started performing actively on the local scene, sharing it with a number of fellow Bulgarian metal acts.

In 2020, on August 17th, a fully self-produced 4-song demo EP (titled 'Demo 2020') was released to the public, receiving quite positive feedback from local and international media.

In 2021 Deadscape finally finished recording their debut full-length album 'Of the Deepest Shade' at X3M Studio in Sofia, Bulgaria, with Simeon Panov, and hired world-renowned producer Dan Swanö to take care of mixing and mastering.
