DED — Joe Cotela (vocals); Adam Adamcik (guitar); Kyle Koelsch (bass); and Matt Reinhard (drums) — returned last fall with the ferociously gritty new single “Rockstar.”
They are gunning for a huge 2025, as evidenced by their latest single “Until I Die,” featuring Chris Motionless from Motionless in White. Watch the video below.
“‘Until I Die’ is a statement about drawing a line for my life,” says Cotela. “It’s me separating myself from the bullshit. It’s my mission statement to do everything in my power to be the change that I want to see in the world while I am here. It was such an honor to have Chris on this track as a fan of his body of work and as a friend. We met on tour together and he was such a big champion of Ded. He’s true blue just a great human which made him perfect to be on this song. He murdered his parts on this and added a ferocity that only he could have done.”
“Rockstar” and “Until I Die” have served as a welcome return for DED, who released their second full-length, School of Thought, in October 2021. The band is also revitalized by signing with indie powerhouse UNFD, home to ERRA, Crossfaith, In Hearts Wake, Invent Animate, and more.
