Dark, haunting and with an epic scale cinematic scope, their songs traverse the depths of the human psyche with unflinching truth; this epitomises the music of OLI BROWN & THE DEAD COLLECTIVE. “When I started writing my next collection of songs, I had no idea what would come. My subconscious was about to make me more aware of what was happening in my mental health than my consciousness. I realised these songs would quickly take on a more significant meaning to my life.”
“After a series of traumatic experiences, which led to extensive therapy, I put the fragmented pieces into these new song lyrics. As I began to rebuild my foundations, for the first time as a singer, I could utilise the synergy between my heart and my voice, connecting the performance, expression, and vulnerability of the lyrics with brutal honesty. This is no longer about performing for the sake of performing; it’s a release of everything bottled in for too long, transformed into a monumental delivery.” - Oli
A song that exemplifies everything THE DEAD COLLECTIVE is “HAUNTED”, A colossal sized Alt-Rock anthem with a hook-laden chorus and angst-laden screams that act as an emotional catharsis. This explosive sense of powerful dynamics within the lyrics and music runs throughout their catalogue of songs. With this sonic density and brutally raw performances, it is as if Soundgarden and Pink Floyd collided into a unified musical space.
“There’s a sense of scale here, a windswept grandeur that elevates every move beyond the ordinary”, Planet Rock
Even in the darkest, heaviest moments of THE DEAD COLLECTIVE’s songs, there is a sense of hope and redemption, a light that shines through the cracks. Through the gravitas of their epic, anthemic rock, hung heavy in feeling and dramatic soundscapes, the DEAD COLLECTIVE‘s music and live performances immerse the listener in an unforgettable experience. Out with the old, in with the DEAD.
