Discover the chaotic history of metalcore pioneers Deadguy! In this episode of Riff Worship, we chart the band’s volatile journey from their 1993 formation in New Brunswick, NJ, to the creation of their 1995 landmark album, Fixation on a Coworker.
This week we’ll explore:
How members of Rorschach, No Escape, and Lifetime collided to create an abrasive, influential sound that paved the way for bands like Converge, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Botch, and many more!
Deadguy’s long-standing relationship with producer Steve Evetts, rented Mesa Boogie amps, shared bass gear, and Tim Singer’s faint-inducing vocal performance.
The disastrous, underfunded 1995 tour that tore the band apart just three months before their debut album hit shelves.
Deadguy's 2021 reunion, the Killing Music documentary, and their evolution into the 2025 full-length album Near-Death Travel Services.
