Dead by Wednesday is an American heavy metal band from New Haven, Connecticut, formed in 2005. The band's current lineup includes founding members Christian "Opus" Lawrence (drums) and Michael Modeste (bass), along with Rob Roy (vocals) and Joey Concepcion (guitar).
DBW has released three full-length albums: Democracy is Dead (2005, Stillborn Records); The Killing Project (2008, Eclipse Records); and The Last Parade (2011, Fake Four Inc.). Additionally, the band released its Death of the Rockstar EP in 2014 via Ear One Productions, and has been featured on Hatewear Inc.'s Brutal New Music Compilations Vol. 1, 2, and 3. They released their fourth full-length album, Darkest of Angels, in May 2016.
Dead by Wednesday was formed by drummer Opus and his cousins David and Ceschi Ramos, who were the original vocalists for the band. While the Ramos cousins still make guest appearances, Joe Morbidelli was the singer for most of the band's tenure until leaving in 2014 due to personal issues. Dead by Wednesday has toured across the United States multiple times, notably with Shadows Fall in 2014 and Flotsam and Jetsam in 2015. The band also played several dates for Mayhem Festival in 2015.
Before beginning to record Darkest of Angels, DBW parted ways with longtime guitarist Ross Ragusa. Joey Concepcion (Armageddon) joined on guitar and the band invited a variety of guest vocalists to collaborate on the album. Brian Fair (Shadows Fall), AK (Flotsam and Jetsam), John Arch (Fates Warning), Rob Dukes (Generation Kill, ex-Exodus), Carley Coma (Candiria), Waylon Reavis (ex-Mushroomhead), Sean Danielsen (Smile Empty Soul), Paul Stoddard (Diecast), Kris Keyes (ex-Gargantua Soul), Antony Hamalainen (Armageddon) and Ceschi Ramos each have featured tracks, as well as now-permanent singer Rob Roy. Darkest of Angels was released on May 20, 2016 and was distributed through David Ellefson (of Megadeth)'s EMP Label Group.
