Hall Dead Official Biography Origin: Switzerland Founded: October 8, 1990s Genre: Dark Metal / Horror Rock / Heavy Metal Debut Album: King of the Hall (9. October 2025) Born from the underground of Switzerland in the late 1990s, Hall Dead began as a dark vision a band unafraid to confront themes of faith, death, and madness. Founded on October 8, they combined the heaviness of classic 90s Metal with the haunting textures of Dark Rock and Gothic atmospheres. Over the decades, Hall Dead recorded numerous albums, EPs, demos, and singles, pouring every resource into their music. Yet record labels turned them away, calling them the worst band in Switzerland. They spent everything on studio sessions, until even bankruptcy shadowed their dreams. No club, no bar, no festival wanted them on stage. But Hall Dead refused to die. For 35 years, they carried their sound through silence, rejection, and darkness until 2025, when their long-awaited debut, King of the Hall, finally emerges. Its more than an album: its the proof that persistence outlives failure. Even when they considered ending it all, one thought remained: If no one lets us play, we will still be heard. Now, after decades of struggle, Hall Dead stands as a monument to resilience the voice of those who never stopped screaming into the void.
