Bad Brains, Dead Kennedy's, Earth Crisis, Pantera they're names that have shaped the face of modern hard-core, and bands that have helped shape the sound and vision of Dead By Wednesday.

They've got the sound, vision, and a fury shaped by the world around them. With an international flair for rhythm and a songwriting finesse that resonates with old-school style and new-school bravado, Dead By Wednesday is every bit the product of their Italian, Puerto Rican and Caribbean roots, as impacted by the bands that paved the path before them. They do those roads proud on their Democracy is Dead debut, venturing forth on a road less traveled in the process.

"Resist" tears into the album with a vindictive determination, the shotgun-style delivery of the Ramos brothers landing somewhere amidst the colorful spray of System Of A Down frontman's Serj Tankian and Slipknot's Corey Taylor.

It's when all those elements fuse, that Dead By Wednesday truly transcends their savage blend of hard-core intensity, metal efficiency, and cultural resiliency.
