Through The Eyes of The Dead was one of the most influential bands I’ve ever listened to. I remember hearing them for the first time and they sounded just like what I always wanted to hear but just never heard yet. They used many horror movie quotes before their songs. It was such a new thing to me. They had a theme to each quote that they used. It always seemed like the music matched the emotion in the quote perfectly.

I first heard of TTEOD from my friend Baby Chris. He showed me TTEOD, Despised Icon and Psyupus all at the same time. After Chris showed TTEOD to me, I got to go to a live show here in Philly. It was Acacia strain, Job for a Cowboy , Animosity, and TTEOD.  I think Acacia was headlining. But I was super eager for TTEOD at the time. Man that was a blast. After their show, the guitarist threw his pic into the crowd and I happend to get it. I’ll never forget it.

The First album I heard from the was the Scars of Ages EP The second album  I heard from TTEOD was the Knife Trade Split as many came to know it as Click here to check it After that Album they released Blood Lust which in my opinion was a turning point in Death Metal. I felt like after Blood Lust many bands were merely imitating TTEOD. Regardless, The album, Blood Lust has come to be one of my favorite albums.

What sparked my interest was that I was watching a movie called American Psycho for the first time. And I noticed a quote from the movie that they used in their song called Erratic Perception. to listen, click here—> 09 Erratic Perception

02 Autumn Tint of Gold-my personal favorite from the Scars of Ages EP

02 Two Inches From A Main Artery- Crowd Favorite from Blood Lust

01 Beneath Dying Skies- One of the best songs I feel they’ve ever produced from Scars of Ages EP

Between The Gardens That Bathe-Third Personal Favorite from Scars of ages EP

This is the original singer for TTEOD, he and the drummer left the band. So if you try to listen to any of their new music and wonder why it sounds different is because it’s a whole new band now. I feel like the old vocals made the mand that much more unique.
