Deadbird

Originally formed in 2002 simply by brothers Chuck (vocals/guitars) and Philip Schaaf (drums), Deadbird can be an adventurous doom/sludge band from Fayetteville, AR, that also dabbles in hardcore, death, and progressive metal elements, simply because evidenced on the 2005 debut, THE TOP as well as the Heart. The record also highlighted guitarist/vocalist Alan Brief and bassist Todd Bohannon, both of whom would keep during the documenting of Deadbird’s sophomore work in past due 2006, delaying the procedure by more than a year because the Schaafs searched for and eventually discovered substitutes in guitarist Jay Minish and bassist/vocalist Reid Raley. Coincidentally, the last mentioned can be a full-time person in Arkansas’ chicken-fried prog-sludge best canines, Rwake — a music group Chuck Schaaf was briefly associated with himself in 2002 — as a result eliciting regular (rather than incorrect) comparisons between your two rings’ noises, although Deadbird’s compositional abilities a lot more than justify their life.
