DEADSEA formed in 2003 when veteran composer-guitarist-vocalist Adam Smith decided to fuse his love of metal, doom and free music to create a trio that would provide "apocalyptic visions for positive ascendance". He found a perfect foil in longtime friend and bassist Alex Conley, who had spent six years as guitarist and composer in bizzaro hardcore band, THREE STUDIES FOR A CRUCIFIXION. This combination of ideas make up the unique sound of DEADSEA: metal mutation, passion is law, and the rest of the rules are thrown on the fire. Smith explains; "The intensity, dynamics and aggressiveness of DEADSEA are a result of an appreciation for our influences: all sorts of music, film, nature, books, and artwork, all of our wonderful friends, our families and the reflection of the people at shows. We always strive to capture the essence and raw energy of the moment, inflicting jazz improvisation within the volume and fury of metal."
In May 2005, Desiderata was released on indie label CHROME LEAF RECORDS, receiving universal acclaim in the local press despite lengthy songs such as the 22 minute opus Salem. By this time the DEADSEA live experience had become legendary. Their epic versatility led audiences through extended noise freak outs, all synthesizer sets and unrelenting doom punishment. People were leaving shows with mouths agape and national acts were scared of their powers.

In February 2006, a new and vicious addition, drummer Jeremy Spears, was brought into the DEADSEA mix. Spears brings the technical discipline DEADSEA's music requires along with an enthusiasm for testing new boundaries that improvisation allows.

October 2007 revealed the next nail in the coffin; a self-titled release on indie label CHROME LEAF RECORDS. Extensive touring in 2008 is already being mapped out with Earsplit PR running the publicity machine.
