Deadfall is the brainchild of Berkelee smartypants Eddie Kim, who wrote, produced, recorded, performed guitar, programmed drums, engineered, mastered, and — I dunno — catered? Man, good of him to get bassist Sean Dusoe in there for balance. Control much? I know the feeling….

As long as I’m posting about free EPs, I may as well pimp my friends that are playing at a show I helped arrange. “The Rot of the World” is 30 minutes of *good* metalcore—you know, like Converge, Coalesce, and other bands with combination-style names from the 90s.
