Suicide Dream is an innovative melodic metal band with a broad appeal. The band blends influences as diverse as goth, thrash, doom, speed, ambient, progressive, and power metal with their own innovations, creating a completely new and original approach to music. Although one can hear traces of everything from early Metallica to Type O Negative, the overall sound is like nothing ever heard before. Ultimately, the best description of Suicide Dream is simply "dark, melodic metal".
The band began touring regularly in November of 2002 across Connecticut, Massachussetts, Rhode Island, New York, and Maine. They played over seventy shows between August of 2003 and May 2004, including a slot on the Mayday Metalfest (2004) in Indiana and an appearance with international recording artists Moonspell in New York City. During that period, their website received over a thousand new visitors a month, an amazing feat for an unsigned metal band in America. The band went on to play with legendary Ex-Dokken guitarist George Lynch in October, and performed in front of over one thousand people at a show with Poison frontman Bret Michaels in November. It should be noted that all of this has been accomplished entirely without the help of any management or booking agents.
Some venues that the band has played recently include The Webster (Hartford, CT), L'Amour (Brooklyn, NY), The Roxy (Norwalk, CT), The Middle East (Boston, MA), and Northern Lights Live (Clifton Park, NY). For a full list of dates/venues, visit their home page www.suicide-dream.com.
Suicide Dream recorded a self-produced demo in 2003 which immediately garnered interest from Sony Records, Screaming Ferret Records, Oak Knoll Records, and an executive who offered to shop it around to RCA, Virgin, and several other majors.
The first single off of the demo, "Return", was voted .1 on undergroundrecords.com's Top 100 for several weeks, and has also received heavy airplay on 90.1 WECS. In addition, the song was voted both First and Second Round Winner when entered into the Rock Solid Pressure contest by Sony Records.
Suicide Dream is currently reviewing all legitimate business offers pertaining to legal representation, recording contracts, and management.
