NASHVILLE, TN — On October 4th, 2024, the gates of the asylum burst open and the dead rose again as horror thrash maniacs Dead Alive released their twisted new full-length The Madness of Dr. Ludvig Von Brainmatter — an 11-track descent into cinematic chaos, unhinged riffs, and blood-splattered storytelling.

Forged in the haunted heart of Nashville’s underground, Dead Alive is a four-headed beast that fuses high-speed thrash metal with the gory fun of classic horror flicks. Formed in 2015 by front-ghoul Count Scapula , the band brings raw energy, theatrical flair, and a horror-fueled musical onslaught that’s part Slayer , part Ghoul , and part Evil Dead VHS collection.

This latest release is a horrifying, headbanging journey into madness, featuring standout tracks like “Re-Agent” and “Flip The Switch” — already cult classics in their live sets. The album’s artwork, conjured by renowned illustrator Dan Goldsworthy , is as grotesquely beautiful as the music it houses. Eerie samples, neck-snapping riffs, and lyrics ripped straight from a cursed screenplay make this album an essential listen for fans of Death , Carach Angren , and old-school horror metal madness.

A Legacy of Undead Metal Mayhem
Dead Alive’s discography is a horror show in the best way:

Rise of the Skeleton Army (2021): Their debut LP brought the undead to life with cult anthems like “Gravestoned” and their fan-favorite cover of “Spooky Scary Skeletons.”

Green Hell (2024): A blistering Misfits cover for Horror Shock Records' tribute to Earth A.D.

Blood in the Water (2025): A surf-thrash-black metal tribute to Jaws and Shark Week.

Corpsefvcker (2025): A morbid commentary on rock star worship and the grotesque blur between fame and fetish.

More Than Music — It’s a Movement (of the Undead)
Dead Alive calls their community the Skeleton Army , a growing legion of fans who live for metal, horror, and unapologetic weirdness. Their ethos? Be semi-serious : dead serious about the riffs, the performance, and the scene — but never too serious to have fun with it.

As the band puts it:

“We’re making the soundtracks to horror movies that don’t exist… yet.”

The Madness of Dr. Ludvig Von Brainmatter out now on all major streaming platforms. Prepare for reanimation.
