Band information

Fuck... I'm Dead is a heavy and debauched death/grind band from Melbourne. The band was formed in mid-2000 by Hill, Raetz and Jones, all former members of Open Wound and Arseripper. After issuing a split vinyl release with Germany's Sanity’s Dawn the band was picked up by Razorback Records for the 23-track album release. Fuck... I'm Dead's sound features surprising bursts of melody and groove that makes them stand out from the grind crowd. Their fearsome live reputation made them one of the highlights of Metal for the Brain in 2003. In 2005 the band appeared at the festival once more in both Canberra and Perth.

Hill is also a member of The Day Everything Became Nothing, Jones is with The Kill and at one point all three members featured in Shallow Grave. In mid-2006 the band toured with Cryptopsy and also released a live DVD. During 2007 FID announced they would be experimenting with a live drummer. Up until then the band was using a machine exclusively. Darren Condy joined in mid-2007 and shortly afterward Xavier Irvine from The Day Everything Became Nothing was also added on guitar.

Fuck... I'm Dead played the Maryland Death Fest and other selected US shows in May 2008 and in July they supported Dismember in Melbourne. Tom Raetz has since been replaced by Jack Whitcroft. Fuck.. I’m Dead was less active after this but contine to play occasionally. During 2011 they appeared in Sydney at Slaughterfest and played at several of the Bastardfest shows in 2012, shortly after their second album was released.
