about

DEAD ICARUS sounds both fresh and familiar for the legions of metalheads who revere the unapologetic aggression of Pantera or the dynamic metalcore of Killswitch Engage. The heavy riffs Mangold sent Alex’s way lit a fire. Soon, the pair were sending preproduction demos back and forth.

“I have an artist’s brain. I have to create compulsively,” Varkatzas says. “Whether it’s painting, building guitars, or making music, I have to get the things inside of me out there. I thought I would be done when everything stopped with my old band. But I realized I still have a lot of things to say.”

lyrics

I lost myself in a whirlwind 
Of hate and disregard 
Cut off my wings
No regrets
I didn’t give a fuck about anyone 

Thought i was alone with my despair 
Beside myself 
With grief and anger 
Convinced that no one cared

I lost myself inside my rage
I burned the pieces 
I fanned the flames 

Do I trust what I see, are my eyes lying to me
The face in the mirror is scum
All that I hate I become 
Do I trust what see, this can’t be happening to me 
The face in the mirror is scum 
all that I hate I become 

Buried myself 
In a grave that I dug with a smile
To hide the pain 
degrade myself
Convinced that I deserve the pain that I felt 

My suffering will never end
Until i let it go 

I found myself 
Inside the pain
I forged new pieces 
I fanned the flame 

I lost myself
I found myself
All that I hate I become

about

Dead Icarus California

Alex Varkatzas found himself at such a crossroads when his tenure as vocalist for Atreyu, the band he fronted for over two decades, ended abruptly. No longer tethered to the music and people he’d defined himself by his entire adult life, the California native resolved to rebuild from the ground up.

DEAD ICARUS is the result. An uncompromising, brutal, impassioned, confessional assault.
