DEAD MANS WILL

We are a metal band formed in Late February of 2011, here is our story: Dead Man's Will formed from the ashes of several other bands. In the early days, Brandon Gruber and Steven Corneil were in a metal called Trajectory together. In that band they built a strong relationship that has stuck with them. That band broke up and Brandon went on with another band (Blackthorn City). Eventually and slowly, Steven Corneil had asked Brandon if he would like to jam together again as he had missed their time being in a band. Quickly, the 2 rounded up members in pretty much less than a week. They had grabbed Matt Bouwmeester (formally of the punk band Hit or Miss) on bass, and Zachery Keane for guitarist. We had learned a few covers, but needed another guitarist to make the sound full. In that week alone, we had found guitarist Jake Loewen of the hard rock band The Strike, he was getting more and more into the pure metal genre and felt he would be a good fit. The 5 of them had good chemistry and with songs already pre-written, Originals started popping up and by this time Brandon had turned his full commitment to Dead Man's Will The band continued to grow and found themselves improving and making their originals sound good. Shows started happening in the summer. However, commitment issues arose and Zach was forced to leave the band. Dead Man's Will quickly found another guitarist by the name of Mike Dusa who couldn't have been a better fit. His talent and song writing ability would play a crucial role in the sound this band generates. More songs arose and improvements made to our songs as well as new written and heavier songs. As the band went on and playing various amounts of shows since Dusa's arrival, unfortunete personal issues came up that we didn't want but couldn't avoid, Jake unfortunetly was no longer apart of the band anymore. But again, we found another guitarist very Quickly, Mike Amicarelli was brought in, formly playing in the band Trajectory along with Steve and Brandon. He is a great fit to the band, he brings incredible talent and song writing abilities that go beyond our expectations. THEN THERE WAS THE COMING OF THE SECOND BRANDO(N)! In January 2013 Mike met Brando while they were at fanshawe college, obviously Brando wanted on board with this band. After a couple weeks with the guitar profile tracks and a couple hastily thrown together jam sessions (in which brando's amp shook everything in Steves house) We came together on stage and shook the Dominion House with the full force of our destructive line up >:D The band has grown so much and have defined and improved upon their sound into what it is today. With the amount of Talent that is brought to the table with playing and song writing as well as commitment that has been shown, this band continues to grow and become stronger than ever before Metal band out of Leamington, Ontario looking to make a big splash in the music scene
