Deadlands hits the stage with energy you could feel from miles away, lead singer ‘Kasey Karlsen’ gets the crowd roaring as drummer ‘Kyle OBraitis’ heavily hits his drums, and guitarist ‘CJ Arey’ hypes the crowd up in anticipation for their first song of the night ‘House Of Cards.’ Despite ‘House Of Cards’ just being released 8 days prior to their first show of their first headlining tour, fans knew every single word, every drum beat, and every harmony. Deadlands energy is unmatched, from Kaseys melodic harmonies to guttural screams, to Kyle’s impeccable drumming skills, and CJs euphoric guitar abilities, everything ties in so naturally. The show continues hot, and heavy throughout the entire night. Fans sang their hearts out. Lead singer Kasey took time out of their performance to introduce their song ‘Black Hole’ by asking for a show of hands for anyone who has ever struggled with mental health or addiction. Kasey took the time to take the already intimate performance to a whole new level by creating a circle in the crowd and joining her supporters. Kasey sat down in the circle and performed this incredibly empowering song with such force that you could physically feel it. The entire night was filled with hardcore bands and performance but this was by far the most hardcore, metal thing i have ever seen an artist do. Kasey took the time to touch on subjects most people feel too vulnerable too and let their supporters know they are being heard and are never alone. The band made everyone in that room feel seen in that moment and you could tell how truly touched they were watching their supporters reciprocate that love. Deadlands is on the come up, and not stopping anytime soon! If you haven’t heard of Deadlands yet, I can’t stress it enough to check them out. They will certainly become your new favorite band! Deadlands in Brooklyn, NY was a blast!
