about

February 2006 or some nine years ago: Dead Element (Larry Freire (Drums) Jason Hughes (Guitar) Steve Thiriot (Vocals) and then Bassist Jason Wayman) signed to indie label Jetspeed Records.

At the time it was all Gravy! The label showed Dead Element a good time, sent them to awards shows, got the band a clothing sponsorship and the band met some really cool people.

In May of 2006, Dead Element recorded Necrology in Los Angeles, CA. The gravy train ended there.

Jetspeed rushed production on the record sacrificing production quality, effort, and a standard the band put into their debut album: Industry Of War.

Dead Element recorded Necrology in a week, which, overall was a pretty unsatisfying experience: with the exception of meeting Todd Bridges.

Over the next few months, Dead Element continued to play shows in anticipation of the album’s release. Jetspeed released a sub-par version of Necrology in November of 2006, the mixing on all songs was shortened to ONE day.

The album was abysmal; lead vocalist, Steve Thiriot, cringes every time he hears that version of the record (luckily he destroyed most copies in existence). The band was embarrassed to release this record at their CD release party.

Dead Element was determined to fix the album to their higher standard.

In February of 2007 the band started fixing major problems with the album. Thiriot spent countless hours re-recording and re-mixing the entire album. Some progress was made, but ultimately the process led the band to a six year hiatus.

After years of tinkering on the album off and on, the album was finally reborn. This new, correct, version of Necrology rights all the wrongs of the Jetspeed debacle. Dead Element is finally releasing this beast of a record the way it was meant to be: take a listen. You won’t be disappointed.
