Deadlands is a New York-based band infusing fresh and unexpected energy into traditional post-hardcore and metalcore. Founding member and frontwoman Kasey Karlsen is used to laying her cards face up on the table, as she has been writing about her toxic relationships, friendships, hardships, and current events, all topics that are near and dear to her heart – since she was in high school. She also draws over million followers across platforms, thanks to her compelling content. CJ Arey, professionally known as “AREY,” maps the guitar and bass while simultaneously inputting his own flare into the production of the music. In 2024 and 2025, the band headlined shows across the United States, supported Scene Queen on her tour, and made stops along the way to perform at Louder Than Life, Aftershock, and Blue Ridge Rock Festival. In June 2025, the band released the 7-song EP, SEVEN., on Spinefarm/Universal. Each song on SEVEN. represents one of the 7 deadly sins. The band is currently writing and recording a full length album with the first single scheduled for release April 2026. Fans of bands like Motionless In White, Falling in Reverse, Wage War, In This Moment, and Bring Me The Horizon will be magnetically drawn to Deadlands.
