Atmospherically dense, with visual assault and gothic mind terror. Almost Dead are masters at brevity of power. ‘LMDTW’ multiplies the energy and strength of even the heaviest of metal albums. Leaving you terrorized, traumatized and gagging for more.” Lay Me Down To Waste was ranked in the top 12 thrash metal albums of 2018 by THRASHMANIA\m/. Want to know more?

Influenced by bands like Pantera, Metallica and Slayer, Almost Dead music is brutal and fucking awesome! The line-up is formed by Tony Rolandelli (v), Ian Barbus (b), Nick Orsi (g), Ivan Ganchev (d) and the music is explosive from the first to the last minute. They bet a lot on creativity too and on their page at myspace we can see the trailer of a movie being produced by Rolandelli and his brother."
