On March 20th, 2025- DED has joined forces with Chris Motionless of Motionless In White with jaw dropping, hard crushing new single "Until I Die" via UNFD. Ded is an American Nu-metal band based in Arizona and consists of members Joe Cotela (vocals), Adam Adamcik (guitar), Kyle Koelsch (bass), and lastly Matt Reinhard (drums). In 2024, the band unveiled their comeback, gnarly single titled "Rockstar", which was one of the first releases since the band released their sophomore full length album 'School Of Thought' in 2021.
According to vocalist Joe Cotela, "'Until I Die' is a statement about drawing a line for my life.. It's me separating myself from the bullshit. It's my mission statement to do everything in my power to be the change that I want to see in the world while I am here. It was such an honor to have Chris on this track as a fan of his body of work and as a friend. We met on tour together and he was such a big champion of Ded. He's true blue just a great human which made him perfect to be on this song. He murdered his parts on this and added a ferocity that only he could have done."
I have been following the band and their discography for quite some time. I have discovered them in 2017 since the release of their album 'Mis-An-Thrope' via Suretone Records. Seeing the growth this band has done over the years is absolute insane. Since the release of "Until I Die", I was not expecting the band to do a collaboration with the one and only Chris Motionless of Motionless In White. One thing that stood out the most was how fast paced the song was and the blending of hardcore with nu-metal. The track sort of brings me back to like the early 2000's when I would be playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater on my Xbox 360. DED has made so many accomplishments throughout their music career and has millions of streams on their discography; some of those tracks include "Hate Me", "Anti-Everything", and "Kill Beautiful Things". These tracks have between four million to sixteen million streams. I cannot wait to hear what these talented guys have to give to fans.
