History

The origins of the ensemble can be traced back to Arizona band The Cover Up. Lead vocalist Joe Cotela stated that things with The Cover Up were approaching a standstill, and that they were performing music swayed by Every Time I Die. Because the band was dissatisfied with Epic Records not properly promoting the album, the band decided to move on.[5][6]

This dissolution eventually formed Man Made Machine.

DED Beginnings (2016-present)

Shortly after Man Made Machine performed their final show,[7] lead vocalist Joe Cotela and percussionist Matthew Reinhard formed a new ensemble named Ded along with guitarist David Ludlow and bassist Kyle Koelsch, both members of Greeley Estates.[8] In December 2016,[9] the band released its debut track "FMFY" on all digital platforms along with a music video.[7] In February of the following year,[10] a similar release was made for "Anti-Everything", the second single from the band.[11] In May 2017, the latter composition ranked No. 18 on Mainstream Rock songs.[12] At the end of that month, the ensemble announced that Mis•an•thrope, their debut studio album, was scheduled for release on July 14, 2017.[13] The release date of the album was later pushed back one week to July 21, 2017.[14]

In July 2018, the ensemble announced that they have begun work on their second studio album.[15]

Touring

The band first toured with Korn and Animals As Leaders in May 2017 and Korn again in July and August on the Serenity of Summer Tour with Stone Sour, Yelawolf,[16] and others. Ded also played at various rock festivals including Carolina Rebellion, Rock on the Range, Rocklahoma, Chicago Open Air,[17] Louder than Life,[18] and Aftershock Festival.[19] In October 2017, Ded performed at the Loudwire Awards Kickoff Party in Los Angeles, California. They were also nominated for Best Name Artist at the award show. In October, the band also announced a tour with Pop Evil that would run November to December. Ded is set to open their 2018 touring season on In This Moment's The Witching Hour Tour with New Years Day and P.O.D.. The tour will run January 16, 2018 through February 18. Ded will also be performing at Shiprocked January 21-25.

In September-October 2018, the ensemble will perform throughout North America with Blessthefall, The Word Alive, Thousand Below, and A War Within.[20]
