Dead Asylum formed in Vancouver, BC at the end of 2011, and features vocalist Mike Lister, drummer Samantha Landa, lead guitarist Roger Mowat, rhythm guitarist Jay Sarrazin, and bassist Rory MacRury. Dead Asylum’s style combines elements of thrash and death with melodic and grooving overtones–and echoes band influences such as Kreator, Amon Amarth and Exodus.

Dead Asylum has become known for its throat-gripping riffs and rhythms and its energetic, balls-to-the-walls live performance. Dead Asylum “is one of those bands that’s hit the ground running” (Abort Magazine). On top of tour dates around the US and Canada, they’ve shared the stage with thrashers Toxic Holocaust, Warbringer and Exmortus; Soulfly and Soilwork; Anvil; and festival dates with Suffocation, Beyond Creation, Bison BC and Holy Grail.

Dead Asylum’s second album, ‘Death Always Wins’ (2017) was recorded and edited by Roger Mowat at Jam Factory Studios in Port Coquitlam, BC and mixed and mastered by Chris “Hollywood” Holmes (Korn).

Heavy and melodic, the eight tracks on Dead Asylum’s debut album ‘General Carnage’ (2013) were produced by Nick Engwer and Brady D and mixed/mastered by Chris Holmes.

Songs range from thrashy headbangers, to technical compositions, to chantable, heavy metal anthems. Lyrical themes include revolution, the apocalypse, and—as the band name alludes—twisted facets of the human psyche.
