Originally formed as a 5 piece in 2004, 15 Times Dead quickly cemented their place as one of the must see bands of the Glasgow metal scene. Their influences are many varied, moulded together to create their own sound and style, with grooving riffs so heavy and chunky that fans labelled it "Girth Metal".
The band have always prided themselves on explosive and entertaining live performances. Early successes included reaching the Scottish Final of the global Emergenza Battle of the Bands where the judges called them “A powerful act with a very distinct style and a lot of energy on stage”.
From this success the band continued to grow and, after producing their first four track demo, they were invited to play at the Godless Festival in Stoke, sharing the stage with other unsigned bands from across the UK.
In 2007 Terrorizer magazine listed 15 Times Dead as one of the new bands to look out for in the coming year, and the year itself culminated with the self-produced digital single - Ride the Pain.
2008 continued the band's success with key support slots with Panic Cell, Blitzkrieg and Blaze Bayley while also appearing as the headline unsigned band at the inaugural Monsterz of Rock & Metal Festival in Dundee. The band also won their way through to the UK Finals of Bloodstock Unsigned before taking an enforced hiatus in July of that year.
In May 2009 15 Times Dead returned as a 4 piece, honing their trademark heavy grooves while moving further away from their thrash-like beginnings.
Since then they have been growing steadily stronger with an appearance at the Hard Rock Hell IV festival, sharing the stage with the likes of UFO, Uriah Heep, Skid Row, Helloween, Saxon, MSG, Airbourne and many more.
In October of 2012, the band finally released their debut album, Metasultra, through Casket Records.
Fast forward to 2015 and with a new line-up and follow-up album in the pipeline, the 'Dead are still very much alive and well and ready to return to the scene!
