Dead Man In Reno

Metalcore / Progressive Death Metal from Nashville, Tennessee, U.S.A Band members: Justin Sansom - Vocals Chris Penuel - Guitar Stuart Ogran - Guitar Drew Shelnutt - Bass Brian Huggins - Drums In recent years, bands have been taking things into their own hands more so than ever in getting the word out about their music. Internet activities, particularly MySpace and Pure Volume, aiding greatly in their works to assist bands from around the globe to find and develop a nurturing audience. In the case of Tuscaloosa-based Dead Man In Reno, their unstoppable quest to reach their now sizeable fanbase is what struck the attention of AbstractSounds, imprint for Candlelight Records. Not soon after, band and label united as one. Dead Man In Reno have played every show allowed them since their genesis three short years ago. Diehards to the core, they epitomize the blood, sweat and tears/DIY ethic. Teaming with producer Jamie King (Between The Buried And Me, Through The Eyes Of The Dead) at Basement Recording Studios in Rural Hall, North Carolina, the band meticullously laid down their self-titled debut in a quick but intense 10-day session. The results showcase the quintet's complex duel guitars, double bass drum fills, hardcore growls and screams with classic hardcore/metal breakdowns captured to perfection. With shows booked throughout, Dead Man In Reno is sure to cross your path.
