1) deadman formed in Nagoya at the end of 2000 out of remnants of Lamiel and kein, two closely-knit bands at the forefront of the Nagoya visual kei scene. Mako (vocals), aie (guitar), and yukino (bass), all formerly of kein teamed with Toki (ex.Lamiel) for the original lineup.
Soon after their first CD release, yukino left to start his own band, and soon after Takamasa joined as their new bass player. not until 2005 did the lineup change again, when Takamasa left and Kazuya joined, completing the final incarnation of the band.
Their music is influenced by various sources, blending Japanese and western styles. They have often been compared to MERRY GO ROUND (well-known in the mid-90's Nagoya scene) and generally to the western grunge style of the early 90's deadman ended their activities as a band in mid-2006. It is unknown whether or not they will work together as deadman again.
2) Steven and Sherilyn Collins, the Texas pair otherwise known as Deadman formed in 2001. www.myspace.com/deadman
3) A duo from Northern Ireland. They use traditional rock band instruments and modern technology to make their music.
5) Although based in Spain, Deadman is an expat band, comprising 2 Englishmen and a powerful Peruvian drummer. Influences are many and diverse - ranging from the darkness of Bauhaus to Ash's ingenuity and the dirty punk of the Pixies. A contagious rhythm section, hypnotic guitar solos and deeply personal lyrics. Deadman write and perform somber, powerful songs, full of barely contained rage. They create a pathway to an abyss full of melancholy and intensity. Deadman is a journey to unknown shores - that at the same time seem very familiar. Deadman can be found at http://www.deadman.es

The lyrics of Deadman's song "this day. this rain." evoke a strong sense of nostalgia and introspection. The repetition of "this day" and "that day" suggests a comparison between past and present moments, perhaps indicating feelings of regret or longing for a simpler time. The use of Japanese phrases such as "kokyuu no oto" (sound of breathing) and "kuchidzuke wo" (last kiss) add a layer of cultural significance and emotionality to the lyrics.
The imagery in the song is striking, with references to freezing, paralyzed birds and drowning fish. These metaphors may represent feelings of being trapped or helpless in a situation. The line "time doesn't stop" emphasizes the fleeting nature of life and the importance of cherishing each moment.
Overall, the lyrics of "this day. this rain." convey a sense of melancholy and reflection on life's fleeting moments and missed opportunities.
