The live experience

What reaches the room

Dead Child emerged in 2005 in the wake of Slint's reunion, delivering heavy metal-infused rock rooted in 70s and 80s metal aesthetics. The band’s first live performance took place on August 19, 2006 in Louisville, Kentucky, setting the stage for a string of early achievements and a lasting, if intermittent, footprint in the underground metal scene. Here’s what you should know about Dead Child — their biography, discography highlights, and the latest available tour information.
