Performer Notes

Dead Child: Dahm (vocals); Michael McMahan, David Pajo (guitar); Tony Cook, Todd Cook (bass instrument); Tony Bailey , Tony Bailey (drums).
Formed by Dave Pajo with a pair of musicians from the mid-00's Slint reunion, Dead Child is a group of reformed indie rockers--who, incidentally, were once reformed metal heads--playing the music they love best: classic British Heavy Metal. With a lean and mean approach featuring choppy riffs, histrionic vocals, and flashes of guitar brilliance, the Louisville band decries the trappings of millennial metal--the "cookie monster" vocal styles in particular. Indie metallers from Dead Meadow to Early Man have been approaching this moment for years: when they drop all pretense of originality, raise devil horns, and shred like the Judas Priest on which they cut their teeth.

Professional Reviews

The Wire (p.65) - "ATTACK is a Heavy Metal album free of any formalist cross-pollinations or ironic quote marks....Effectively a celebratory keg-party record."

CMJ - "From its song titles to Dahm's concise, dagger-like shrills and chugga-chugga guitar sequels, their fingers are firmly planted in the golden age of metal."

Kerrang (Magazine) (p.47) - "[S]uch musicianship and enthusiasm rank Dead Child as ones to watch."
