Dead End Ascension was formed in October 2009 by members Phil Henri (Guitars), Juan Carlile (Drums, Vocals), and Travis Cote (Bass, Vocals). Moving on from their last music project "Disasters Of The Masters Of The Universe", Phil and Juan were looking to start a new project that suited their own personal tastes and better reflected some of their favuorite musical influences (Mastodon, Alice In Chains, Tool, Meshuggah, The Dillinger Escape Plan). Upon bringing in Travis for a couple of auditions, it was apparent that a creative and collaborative entity was forming, dedicated to working toward a set of original tunes that will become the foundation on which a powerful and intense live stage performance can be built and brought to life. The first 3 tracks to be released by the band, "In Fragility", "Collapse", and "Invasion" focus on how out of date and poorly built our existing human civilization is. From collapsing financial systems, to un-educated global leaders, and a consumer based machine that indoctrinates the individual into a contrived, materialistic set of values. Dead End Ascension embodies the futile path that humanity is on and the impending halting point of the evolution of human experience if this society cannot reach toward a better understanding of the truly important aspects of our existence and make the right choices to continue to evolve and flourish as we move through this endless void of time and consciousness.
