Dead Cross
Dead Cross is an American crossover thrash supergroup formed in Southern California. The band consists of guitarist Michael Crain (Retox), bassist Justin Pearson (the Locust, Head Wound City and Retox), drummer Dave Lombardo (Slayer, Mr. Bungle and Fantômas) and vocalist Mike Patton (Faith No More, Mr. Bungle and Fantômas).
Pearson and Lombardo had previously worked with producer Ross Robinson individually. Robinson later asked Pearson to play on a demo as a session bassist. Pearson later found out that Lombardo was also playing on the demo; Crain also took part in these sessions. Lombardo noted that he had to fill some tour dates and was lacking a band, so Lombardo, Pearson and Crain formed a live band in about 12 days; this project became Dead Cross. Dead Cross was officially formed on November 30, 2015 by Crain, Pearson, Lombardo and vocalist Gabe Serbian (the Locust, Head Wound City and ex-Retox). The band made their live debut that December.
On March 8, 2016, they streamed the song "We'll Sleep When They're Dead". In 2016, Serbian left the group after recording vocals for the band, however the group chose not to release the record with Serbian's vocals. That December, the band announced that Patton would be the new vocalist. With the music for their debut album already recorded, Patton recorded the vocals separately. However Patton wrote his own lyrics for the album. The album, produced by Ross Robinson, was released jointly by Patton's Ipecac Recordings and Pearson's Three One G labels on August 4, 2017.
On May 22, 2017, Dead Cross announced their first tour, to start on August 10.
On August 15, 2017, all four members of the band were arrested in Houston, Texas. On advice of their legal counsel, the band made no public comment on the situation.
On May 2, 2018, Dead Cross released a self-titled EP containing two new songs and two remixes from their previous album.
During December 2019, Dead Cross was recording material for a new album. In June 2020, they covered "Rise Above" from Black Flag. On December 23, 2020, a music video was released for the song "Skin Of A Redneck". Posts from the band’s social media accounts have hinted at an upcoming album.
On July 19, 2022, the release of the second album, titled II was announced. It was released on the 29th of October on CD, LP and tape formats. On the same day a video for the leading title Reign of Errors has been released through the Ipecac official YouTube channel. In December 2022, the Rolling Stone included the album's lead single Reign of Error in its The 100 Best Songs of 2022 list, at the 92nd place.
