Mendeed - "The Dead Live By Love" 2007


Press
'Mendeed are metal magicians. Their signature trick is to bring genres such as battle, power and thrash metal - under the banner of metalcore. They bring it off well.' - Rock Sound 8/10

'Its raining riffs the size of boulders. Theres a torrent of melodies and tornados of angry vocal harmonies. Welcome to a new force of nature. For most The Dead Live By Love will be a seismic shock. But Mendeed's potential has been clear for some time now.The first top quality metal album of 2007 ' - Classic Rock 8/10

'Brutal, youthful speed metal from Glasgow that sounds like unanaesthetised rottweilers being operated on by backstreet abortionists. But good, obviously" - NME
