Villain
DEADLANDS are infusing fresh and unexpected energy into traditional Metal. Founding member and frontwoman Kasey Karlsen is used to laying her cards face up on the table, as she has been writing about her toxic relationships, friendships, hardships, and current events — basically all topics that are near and dear to her heart — since she was in high school. She is also a social media star, drawing over a million followers across platforms, thanks to her compelling content. CJ Arey, professionally known as “NO SHADE” creates melodies for the guitar and bass while simultaneously inputting his own flare of trap and cinematic references into the production of the music. Kyle OBraitis creates all the drums for the band. His hard-hitting rhythms and strategic placement for each song really drives the feel and direction for each track.
The band is currently working on new material for the label that is themed around the seven deadly sins. “Villain” is just one of the seven deadly sins coming your way from DEADLANDS.
