5 BILLION DEAD
5 BILLION DEAD have exploded onto the Central Florida music scene with an unprecidented fury, creating a buzz rarely seen from today's rabid music fans. Unique and unyielding, 5BD have developed their one of a kind sound with fresh, groove-laden, head-banging hits, and enraged, mosh-pit-friendly stompers!!! Just one listen to 5BD's music, and you can see that this is not your everyday, run of the mill, average metal outfit. These four veterans of the metal realm have come together with a renewed hunger and desire to spread their musical visions. Orlando, Daytona, Jacksonville, Tallahassee, Deland, Tampa and West Palm Beach, FL have all recently been attacked by 5BD with amazingly positive feedback and an ever growing devoted fan base. Now 5BD have their sights set on spreading out across the country, and the world!!! 5 BILLION DEAD back up what they say by bringing you a high quality, determined metal band unafraid to give you 110%, and look forward to the day they can call your town one of their homes!!!
