Common Dead is a solo artist who released four albums from 2009 to 2013 while serving as director for the supporting videos. Topics of struggle and endurance are backed by a thrash-groove sound focused on technical riffing and melodic passages.
"4 out of 5. Common Dead is one of those hidden islands that is really worth visiting... Sounds better than four people performing in some of the 'bigger' bands who only wish they could have such ingenuity on their own." - Brutalism
"Better than many of the other acts I've already heard this year ... Absolutely crushing riffs and balls out vocals ... Runs the gamut from death metal to groove, grind and even a bit of tech metal." - Pure Grain Audio
"Strikes a good balance between heaviness and groovy melody... Inspiring guitar solos, intermittent forays into melodic death metal... The pissed off and shouted vocal delivery strongly brings to mind Pantera." - Metal Underground
