METAL FEST 2026 - DEAD BY 50 on 10/30
About
Dead By 50 is a Twin Cities heavy metal powerhouse forged in the chaos of riots, protests, and a global pandemic. With over 25 years of experience each, the band delivers a seasoned, high‑intensity sound that blends raw emotion with unrelenting energy. Their 2024 full‑length album apoplectic captured the rage and uncertainty of the times, earning them a reputation for authenticity and force.
Since then, Dead By 50 has torn through stages across Minnesota and beyond— Skyway Theatre, Amsterdam Bar & Hall, Grand Casino Hinckley, The Dog House, Jersey’s Bar & Grill and Sturgis. Their shows are loud, physical, and impossible to ignore.
Led by Tony Gallahue’s incendiary vocals, Al Sweeny’s groove-induced drumming, the twin‑guitar assault of Jason Fetch and Dave Soderstrom, and Jerry Hansen’s seismic bass, Dead By 50 delivers a sonic assault that hits hard from the first note to the last.
They’re not just performing—they’re mobilizing. Dead By 50 is a call to action, a surge of adrenaline, and a reminder of what live heavy music is meant to be: loud, electrifying, and unforgettable.
