Song: My Fist, Your Face
Album: “Self Titled EP” (2003)

Deadwater Drowning was an American deathcoreband formed in 2002 in Brookline, New Hampshire. It is notable for the myriad of groups affected when the band broke up in 2004 and its members splintered into various other groups such as The Acacia Strain, The Red Chord, and Through the Eyes of the Dead. Guy Kozowyk of The Red Chord cited the band as his inspiration to start his record label Black Market Activities, whose second release was the band’s sole output.

I’m at a loss for words. I just heard about the passing of Matt Bennett from others’ posts. It sounds like he had been in a rollover accident on I-91 in Windsor, CT on 10/1/2026 and succumbed to injuries. My thoughts are with his family, friends and the_Network bandmates. He was just a really wonderful and talented person. Life is unpredictable & short. Remind people that you love them. RIP by @blackmarketactivities

Artist: Ed Gein
Song: Bastard
Album: “Judas Goats & Dieseleaters” (2005)

Ed Gein was an American grindcore band, based in Syracuse, New York. The band consisted of Graham Reynolds (guitar, vocals), Aaron Jenkins (bass, vocals) and Jesse Daino (drums, vocals). The band took its name from the American murderer Ed Gein. The band is best known for its second album, Judas Goats and Dieseleaters (2005). The follow-up record, titled Bad Luck, was released in 2011.

Ed Gein’s music has been labeled as grindcore, metalcore, mathcore and noise rock, featuring influences from thrash metal. On their third album, Bad Luck, the band shifted from their previous technical grindcore in favor of a more hardcore punk-influenced sound. The band’s lyrics, primarily written by bassist Aaron Jenkins, are politically charged and features social commentary, on topics including racism in the United States, sexism, homophobia and bureaucracy.

On April 11, 2018, it was announced the band had split up and the members would be forming a new band called Shadow Snakes.
