Band Members:
Charles Hudson - Vocals/Guitar
The youngest of the group, grew up with rap and hip-hop all around him. This type of music didn't really express what he was feeling. Then came heavy metal. This gave him the much needed release that can only come from the metal sound. With several like-minded people, including his brother, they formed a band named DOD. In this band he was able to express the feelings and the ideas that he needed to get out. Though the line-up changed, some of those leaving going on to form other bands, Chuck never lost sight of the original drive of the band. His Lyrics, are direct and reflect social decay, and a strong sense of pride for their native people.

DW Hudson - Drums
Brother to Chuck and an original member, liked hitting things since childhood. It only seemed natural for him to end up beating the hell out of the drums. Though one of the driving factors in the band he has taken the roll of the "easy going guy". He let's the other members play leader even though he is the "oldest of the band". But get him behind a drum kit and the aggression begins to pour out of him.
Brain Poland - 2nd Guitar
Brian is a long term friend of the band and the artist for the Covers of DOD's New Year War, and Desolation's Crucifucked.
Brian, although quiet; is a dedicated musician with a great sense of humor. Always ready for a show, practice and/or has the ability to give input that matches DOD's unique style.
Chris Martin - Bass Guitar
Hails Grand Rhonde Oregon, originally a guitar player for many years, has taken up bass and makes the 2.5 hour drive over for band practice every week. So far has picked up very quickly and seems the perfect final addition to the band.
