Dead Head

Dead Head is a Dutch thrash metal band from the Dutch city Kampen. The band was formed in 1989 by the four original members Tom van Dijk (bass, vocals), Robbie Woning (guitar), Ronnie van der Wey (guitar), and Hans Spijker (drums). Their mission was to become the most intensive and brutal thrash-metal band Europe ever had seen. They were influenced by classic thrash metal bands like Dark Angel, Kreator and Sadus.

Since its debut record in 1991, the band has released five albums and one 10 inch.

History

Early days (1989–1999)

Even in the beginning of their career Dead Head never cared about trends, they wanted top play aggressive fast thrash metal and made sure everyone heard it. Passing around 100% pure thrash flyers to promote the band wasn’t the most ingenious marketing plan to promote the band when every aggressive metalfan only had interest in the newest thing in metal called “death metal”. But ignoring that fact and doing the best they could at their live shows they even garnered a real death metal reputation.
