The origins of the ensemble can be traced 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 influenced by Every Time I Die. Because the band was dissatisfied with Epic Records not properly promoting the album, the band decided to move on. [3]

This dissolution eventually formed Man Made Machine.

Formation and Mis•an•thrope (2015-2017)

Shortly after Man Made Machine performed their final show, [4] Cotela and percussionist Matthew Reinhard formed Ded along with guitarist David Ludlow and bassist Kyle Koelsch, both members of Greeley Estates. [5] In December 2016, [6] the band released its debut track "FMFY" on all digital platforms along with a music video. [4] The following February, [7] the band released its second single, "Anti-Everything." [8] In May 2017, the latter composition ranked No. 18 on Mainstream Rock songs. [9] Ded released their debut studio album, Mis•an•thrope , on July 21, 2017. [10]

Mannequin Eyes EP and School of Thought (2018-present)

In July 2018, the ensemble announced that they had begun working on their second studio album. [11]

In April 2020, Suretone Records renewed its multiple-year deal with ADA Worldwide for exclusive distribution. Shortly thereafter, the band released a two-track EP entitled "Mannequin Eyes" which features the songs "A Mannequin Idol (Lullaby)" and "Eyes Sewn Shut".

Sometime in 2021, guitarist David Ludlow departed the group, and was replaced by Alex Adamcik.

At the time of the EP's arrival on streaming platforms, it was announced the band's second studio album will be arriving sometime after 2020 and will be the first studio release under the new deal. [12] The album, School of Thought , was released on October 15, 2021.

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, [13] and others. Ded also played at various rock festivals including Carolina Rebellion, Rock on the Range, Rocklahoma, Chicago Open Air, [14] Louder than Life, [15] and Aftershock Festival. [16] 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 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 also performed at Shiprocked on January 21–25.[ citation needed ]
