There are at least three artists named Deathproof on last.fm:
1. An electronic-metal hybrid group from Vancouver, Canada and New York, USA on WTII Records in Chicago.
2. A melodic modern heavy metal band from Finland
3. An alternative / metal / southern rock band from United States
1) Deathproof was formed by producer/singer Chris DeMarcus (Front Line Assembly, Stiff Valentine, Dismantled) and drummer/singer Jason Bazinet (Front Line Aassembly, Sounds of Mass Production, 16volt). Chris works out of various recording studios in Vancouver and at his home in Abbotsford, Canada; across the continent, Jason is based in New York. The duo started to write music together via internet file exchanges and Skype after working with each other on several US tours with industrial rock acts.
Keyboardist/singer Kerry Peterson (Stiff Valentine) and drummer Galen Wailing (Left Spine Down) have completed the line-up for Deathproof’s debut album, set to come out in the summer of 2015.
Chris describes the new album as “Something louder and heavier than what we do with straight dance remixes, with big cinematic — and complicated — production. We’ve got Jason rapping over breakbeats with live drums, female rap vocals about zombies, a homage to the sound design of Streets of Rage II, and some really big collisions between classical music and modern electronica.”
Deathproof is mostly known for their remixes of industrial dance tracks, although they overlap considerably with house techno, hip-hop, and heavy metal.
They’ve retooled tracks for the likes of MC Lars, Information Society, Aesthetic Perfection, System Syn, Unit 187, Angelspit, Mesh, and over 50 other electronic and rock artists. And produced full records for Stiff Valentine, Sounds of Mass Production, and Slave Unit.
Chris explains the project as a bit of a paradox, “There is something old-school in everything we do. But we’ve got too many influences to sound simply retro. And I like modern production techniques too much! We got two heads, one always looking forward and the other backward.”
2) Deathproof is a metal band from Finland. It was founded in 2008 by four guys in from Kotka, FIN. Band was named "Fall Of Schure" since 2009, until 2010 it was re-named as Deathproof.
3) Combining styles ranging from heavy metal to southern rock, Death Proof is a force to be reckoned with. Creating a sound all their own, they combine powerful riffs, thunderous rhythms, and an incredibly energetic live performance along with a positive uplifting message. The band has been around since early 2008. Through several lineup changes, they have finally solidified what being Death Proof is all about. In the short time of Death Proof's existence, they have acquired a diverse following of fans, playing shows all over NC and the surrounding areas, and even receiving some radio play. This band is looking to take their unique brand of music as far as they can while staying focused on the music, the passion they all four share for what they're doing, and the immense love they have for their fans past, present, and future.
