Mendeed

Mendeed was a Metalcore band, formed in Dumbarton, Scotland. All members met in Dumbarton Academy as teens. They began as a nu metal band but switched styles following the 'Killing Something Beautiful' EP as the genre began to fade in popularity to metalcore.

The bands first recording for the label was the mini-album "From Shadows Came Darkness" which was released in September 2004. Since its release tracks have been played on rock and metal radio stations and a live session was recording and aired on BBC Radio 1 Rockshow. They have since toured quite extensively, supporting the Power Metal band DragonForce on two separate tours.

In December 2004 the video for single "Ignite the Flames" was added to the playlists of MTV2 shows "Headbangers Ball" and "120 Minutes" as well as being added to the catalogue of Scuzz TV.

Mendeed released This War Will Last Forever in 2006 on Rising Records/ Nuclear Blast, which seen them being nominated for best newcomer at both Kerrang and Metal Hammer Awards. They also contributed to Kerrang's Master of Puppets Remastered album with the song The Thing That Should Not Be, which Mendeed received a Gold Disk for at the Kerrang Awards in 2006.

They recently were on tour with Napalm Death, after a recent tour supporting Slipknot. Their second album 'The Dead Live By Love' was released in February of 2007, which reached number 4 in British Rock Charts.

They Split up on the 4th of September 2007.

They Announced on myspace : " Mendeed have regrettably broken up due to irreconcilable difference with our manager, we would like to thank all of our fans for believing in us and helping us get as far as we did. I really wish things would have turned out different for us. Thanks to everyone that had faith in us, we'll miss you all.
