Dead Ritual

Picture

Dead Ritual was born in a Cape Coral garage, coming into existence through tragedy. Original founder, Brody Shaxx, lost his musical mentor and best friend - his uncle Eric Rasmussen - in 2017. But through the darkness in which Brody slipped into, came the inspiration for Dead Ritual's first original song - Six Steps to Death.

The song drips with anger, sadness and finally - acceptance.

Since then, Dead Ritual is carving their own niche' in the heavy metal music scene of Southwest Florida. Their blend of darkness, heavy riffs and down right bad-ass attitude, lends mightily to their high-octane and fast-pace shows. The band brings the perversion of Marilyn Manson, the head-banger attitude of Hate Breed and the stage antics of SlipKnot.

Brody has taken on the duo role of lead vocals and bass, while Joseph Bentley brings a heavy hitting playing style on the drums. There is a perfect blend on strings between Doug Campbell on lead and Josh Palacios on rhythm guitar.

Each of the Dead Ritual four bring something different to the band, but all have one goal in common - to bring Dead Ritual to national prominence and bring their own touch of heavy metal to the growing #BeDead Nation with original thrashing songs like "Six Steps to Death", "We are [FØE]", "Poison Eyes", "Prescription" and "Live Fast, Die Now".

Distinguished Order Of Disobedience

The Distinguished Order Of Disobedience or also known as The DOOD, is a stand-out band in the Florida metal scene.  Originally put together by Raynus and Jonzey DOOD, this Sarasota Florida band is making its niche among the many great independent metal acts not only in Southwest Florida, but nationally as well. 

​Whether they are crushing shows and winning over crowds in Florida or on tour exposing the world to their new and exciting brand of heavy metal, live audiences just have a hard time not liking this band. 

The Distinguished Order Of Disobedience prides itself on its stage show, a high energy feast of metal, that is different and surprising at every venue.  The DOOD is one hundred percent fan friendly and prides itself on having some of the best fans in the world and thanks to the other Florida bands as well, are very proud to be a part of an exciting time for the Florida metal scene.
