History

Initial period, Infected, Petty: 2007-2011

In 2007, Martel teamed up with Antoine Lamothe to form the initial version of Deadly Apples. In 2008, they released the Infected EP. [5] [6] [7] A music video directed by Lamothe was shot for the song Self Inflicted Oppression, but was never released.

In 2009, the band premiered a stripped down electroacoustic set, opening for the cross-Canada tour of Blindoldfreak, solo project of Nine Inch Nails keyboard player Alessandro Cortini. Following that run, the band continued touring with both their usual and stripped down sets, performing at several festivals in Canada and the U.S., including large-scale festival stops with Korn at Rock On! Fest in New Hampshire and Heavy Mtl in Montreal. [8] [9]

In 2010, Deadly Apples started work on the full-length album Petty, which was mixed by Vance Powell, mastered by Bob Ludwig and features Munky from Korn as guest guitarist on the songs Further and Help. [1] Once the album was completed in 2011, the project went on hiatus for several years while Martel and Lamothe focused on their concert promoter and film director careers, respectively.[ citation needed ]

In 2011, Paul Barker of Puscifer and Ministry remixed the song Self Inflicted Oppression with samples from Ministry's Psalm 69. The remix was featured on the soundtrack for the documentary film Fix: The Ministry Movie. [10]

In February 2018, the band sold out the National club in Montreal. [11] In March 2018, they toured Japan with Korn and also performed at the Vans Warped Tour in Tokyo. [12] In April and May, the band played several festivals in Mexico and South America including Hell & Heaven Fest, Fronterizo Fest, Vivo X El Rock, as well as several support dates with Deftones and Front 242. [1] In June 2018, the band played its largest hometown show to 20,000 fans on the opening night of Montebello Rockfest, as well as Machaca Festival in Mexico. [13]

[14] In October and November 2019, they toured the US with Marilyn Manson and they announced performances at South American festivals in late November with Slipknot. [15] [16] In March 2020, the band performed two days in a row at Mexico's Hell and Heaven Fest, which turned out to be the last festival in the world that wasn't canceled by the pandemic. [17]

In June 2022, after being postponed for two years because of the pandemic, the band went on its first European tour playing major festivals like Copenhell, Rock For People, Hellfest, VOA Heavy Rock and Resurrection fest, as well as arena dates with Korn. [18] In December 2022, Deadly Apples returned to Mexico's Hell and Heaven Fest.

Work on a new album started during the pandemic with pre-production handled by Michael Beinhorn. In October 2022, the band announced that they started recording the new album Distress, produced by Lamothe, with mixer Ben Grosse and Danny Lohner of Nine Inch Nails handling guitars and bass. Richard Patrick of Filter also contributed guest vocals on the song Volatile. The album is slated to be released in 2024.
