Sunflower Dead are going to have quite a busy year as they continue to announce tour dates in support of their recent album, It’s Time To Get Weird. They released the album last October through their own label, Bloody Bat Records. The album was produced by Dave Fortman (Evanescence, Godsmack, Slipknot) and Mikey Doling (Gemini Syndrome) and consists of 12 new tracks. The title track features KORN’s Jonathan Davis on vocals.
The infectious rockers will be teaming up with Avatar, Hellyeah and In This Moment respectively on a trek that will take them across the US. This will provide you with many chances at catching their kick ass live show. We first came across Sunflower Dead when they opened up for (hed) P.E. and SOiL on the Born To Ride 2 Tour in SF at the DNA Lounge. They immediately caught our attention as they put on a great show.

What I really like about them is their stage presence and they bring the theatrical side to their music as each member is a unique character with face paint and stage outfits. They then come to life with their music as it takes you to a dark aggressive journey with fierce metal and hard rock that will have you in awe. Check out them performing the cover we spoke about, Police’s Every Breath You Take from their set at DNA Lounge:
We can’t wait until we can catch them again. Make sure to visit their social media sites and stay up to date on their latest news.
