Band: TRAIL OF DEAD, also known for a very long time (and still)
as …And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead

Who: Wayward post-punk-rock and post-everything collective with a million
line-ups but still orchestrated/fronted by founders Jason Reece and Conrad Keely.
Active: 1994-present / 11 studio LPs (new one incl.)

New album: XI: BLEED HERE NOW – 11th LP
Follow up to 2020 LP X: The Godless Void and Other Stories

Keeley(co-founder): “Art has a role to play in the upcoming decade(s): it needs
to point humanity towards solutions. Our hope is that by expanding the ways we
listen and hear; we expand our own inner (my parents would say spiritual) potential
for the problem-solving to come.”

The Austin Chronicle: “Epic, over-the-top, enormous in scale, produced by eternal core Conrad Keely and Jason Reece… The dynamic range runs from whisper-quiet to sheer bombast, with lyrics about death and abandoned cities, clearly written during the darkest days of COVID-19, reminding you when this 22-song journey was made.” Score: 4/5.

Turn Up The Volume: 22 songs take you on a massive sonic journey through decades
of all sorts of resounding rawk ‘n’ roll genres. Symphonic Pink Floyd prog-rock, heavy Black Sabbath helter-skelter, post-punk pandemonium, harmonious power ballads, Southern hard rock and other related ruckus and turbulence.

An immense aural spectacle.
A quadrophonic rock opera.
