Deadman's Hand

Deadman’s Hand (DMH) was formed by guitarist Tony Raygor & bass player Phil Johnson (both formerly of Blitz, Bastard Squad & Overpass Killing) in 2006... Rounding out the line up is vocalist Lawrence "Dutch" DeVries (2014) most notably from Cutthroat Inc., and Bob Krupinski (2015), previously of Circus, on drums. Blending a cauldron full of influences, such as Motorhead, Slayer, and Black Sabbath, they have created their own unique foot in your ass/ punch in the mouth approach to music. DMH has shared the stage with local Chicagoland favorites such as A.D.D., Under Protest & Bleed for the Fallen along with national recording artists Steven Adler (Guns N Roses), Zak Stevens (Savatage) & George Lynch (Lynch Mob/ Dokken) as well as punk icons The Misfits & Jungle Rot. DMH also is able to boast Chicago's only Jagermeister Shredmeister winner, Tony Raygor. He accomplished this feat at Mayhem Fest 2013 among some stiff competition. He still has the Jager guitar (and scars) to prove it. Recognition from radio station 105.5 The Kat's Homegrown Tones hosted by Tim Lamping, Corrie Rox from Sonic Asylum Radio, podcasts across the country, and its legions of loyal and diehard fans, fuels this band for its near legendary and unpredictable performances. We can sleep when we're dead! Thanks to all who have supported us through the good and the bad, we couldn't do this without you... The official page of Chicago's own DMH!!!
