1. Undead (now Secret Levels), a hip hop group from Missouri, United States
2. Undead, a punk band from England
3. Undead, a death metal band
1. ATTENTION: UNDEAD (the Hip Hop group not to be confused with "The Undead") now goes by the name SECRET LEVELS
Growing up in Kansas City, Missouri, the son of a soldier and the oldest of three brothers, Undead front man, Cinch, would find his comfort in every form of Hip-Hop there was. Cinch found his love for the culture at an early age, starting out with B-Boying (break dancing), then moving on to D.J.\'ing, and eventually growing into form and adopting the skill of rocking the mic.
As a kid, Cinch would be engulfed in vinyl from artists like KRS ONE, The Pharcyde and A Tribe Called Quest to name a few. It was easy to see that the young man could easily be entertained with a spray can and a bag full of records.
The meaning behind the name Undead came from Cinch’s love for horror movies, and a fight against corporatization of the Hip-Hop culture. As a young man Cinch would find himself cruising the streets with a Krylon can, occasionally spraying the name \"Undead\" on neighborhood walls. For Cinch, already a fan of classic horror flicks, the name would symbolize the fact that he would rarely sleep. As Cinch grew up, the Hip-Hop industry would become saturated with overrated material that Cinch felt was unworthy of media attention. The name \"Undead\" would now take on the meaning of Hip-Hop not being dead but being alive and well in the “Underground”.
As time would pass, Cinch’s younger brother, Charlie a.k.a. DeLay, a skilled emcee in his own right, would serve his country in the military, an endeavor that eventually landed him in El Paso, Texas. Though in different cities the strong bond between brothers wouldn\'t allow Cinch to stray away from his siblings. The brothers would call each other and exchange written material and ideas. Eventually, Cinch relocated to El Paso in 2004 to stay with his brother for good.
Once on Chuco Town (El Paso) soil. Cinch fell in love with the culture and tightness within the Hip-Hop community. Quickly, Cinch began to realize that there was something about El Paso that was unlike any other city. It was there that Cinch began to gain recognition within the Sun City’s close knitted Hip-Hop scene. Cinch’s DJ skills were tight enough to earn him a spot on Eye To Eye Productions’ popular weekly event, \"Bring That Beat Back\", that took place at the one time Hip-Hop Mecca, The Zone Nightclub.
Eventually, Cinch would go on to perform freestyles on open-mic night, which caught the attention of “Bring That Beat Back” promoter and Golden Rule Records Co-CEO, Jesus Reyes. Reyes immediately caught on to the artist’s potential and together with business partner, Albert Diaz (Golden Rule Records Co-CEO), decided to sign the Kansas City native to his label.
Months later Cinch met Oktoe, a homegrown beatsmith of equal potential. After one listen of Oktoe’s demo CD, Cinch felt that his beats were a perfect compliment to his technique on the mic. This chance encounter would eventually lead to the formation of Undead as an official group.
The duo started strong, gaining huge local support and national recognition by opening for acts like the Visionaries, Copywrite, Vast Aire, and Blueprint even before releasing an album.
But that wouldn\'t be for long, as they would ultimately release their debut album titled \"Don\'t Turn Around\", an effort that combines Cinch’s eccentric lyricism and Oktoe’s hypnotic beats.
Shortly after its release, “Don’t Turn Around” marked the group’s place in Hip-Hop history by being recognized as one of CD Baby\'s Editor’s Picks, an honor that has been bestowed upon other artists such as Digital Underground, Cappadonna, Foreign Legion, Awol One and Josh Martinez. With an already eventful history, Undead is poised for a momentous and bright future.

2. A five piece Bristol punk band, formed in mid 1981 from two local punk bands. They played in the shitholes of Bristol before making a demo tape at S.A.M. Studios Bristol in December 1981. With this Undead got an interview on Bristols local BBC station and some good write ups. They took the demo to Riot City Records in January 1982 and recorded their first single, a double A-side "It's Corruption" / "Undead", and also a track on the 'Riotous Assembly' compilation called "Sanctuary" at S.A.M. Studios. Signed these to Riot City '82 and a single was released in late February '82 entering the Indies at number 18. They supported Chron Gen at Bristol's Granary in February and also played with Court Martial. In December '83 they released another single called "Dead Revolutions" on the Violent Visions E.P. and the B-side "This Place Is Burning" being both good and are better than the first single.
3. Undead is a Death/Pestilence influenced death metal band that released its first album, False Prophecies, in 2015.
Nightmare
UNDEAD Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The weight of the world falls down on me
It's all a part of my nightmare, part of my nightmare
Part of my nightmare, part of my nightmare
Sick, inside of bed, infected with the feelings
Staring up like my dreams were projected on the ceiling
I can see it, I want the money and the fame too
And finally, I've morphed into everything I tried to be
The fucking irony, as everybody's got their eye on me
Society, quickly became my rivalry
Driving me off the deep end, then doubt starts to creep in
Fairweather, they're never there, do I need friends? We eating
But will they stick around when the feast ends?
You say you love me when it's glitter and gold
But when it's bitter and cold, would you deliver my soul?
Or just cut me out the picture and roll?
Love is pain and it's taking its toll
Feel like I've wasted my whole life
Always working, searching for some shit
Tryna live a life that's perfect, but perfect don't exist
When I close my eyes and I try to sleep
The weight of the world falls down on me
It's all a part of my nightmare, part of my nightmare
Part of my nightmare, part of my nightmare
Spent my whole life chasing after dreams
But every dream turns out to be
Just a part of my nightmare, part of my nightmare
Part of my nightmare, part of my nightmare
Help me, no, I can't help myself
Help me to believe that I'm somebody else
Not some fucking addict who can't dream 'cause his habits
Are chopped up on a table 'til he screams, "Let me have it"
Fuck it, what's a life anyway, huh?
You hear about that kid who died again today, huh?
I'd pull my fucking guts out just to make you understand
That I've become a ghost, I am a ghost, I'm not a man
Why can't I fucking say it? They'd say that I'm insane
But in a song they'd play it 'cause they understand the pain
What the fuck is going on? Who am I?
Life is just so fucking long, I wanna
Forgive me, don't forget me, believe you can protect me
It's just a song, I'm venting with the verse that's never- ending
And I have finally lost, the world has finally won
Dear God, did you forget your son?
When I close my eyes and I try to sleep
The weight of the world falls down on me
It's all a part of my nightmare, part of my nightmare
Part of my nightmare, part of my nightmare
Spent my whole life chasing after dreams
But every dream turns out to be
Just a part of my nightmare, part of my nightmare
Part of my nightmare, part of my nightmare
Can't find a reason why, don't know why I even try
I pray when I sleep at night, so at least I'll die a decent guy
When I look in the mirror and say hi, I can't look me in the eye
We're both ashamed of the guy on the other side
Can't find my peace and quiet, some things are better left in silence
It's me who needs some guidance, or maybe what I need is violence
Well, I'm having a meltdown, can't ask for help now
Got so much self-doubt that I weird myself out, can you help out?
So many selfish phobias like self-inflicted loneliness
Sometimes I get so low in this, empty search for holiness
Can't seem to find a reason why, I don't know why I even try
These demons, they won't let me sleep at night
They're killing my dreams, they need me to die
But fuck it, I got nothing left to say
We're all gonna die anyway
Shit could happen to me any day
I just spit 32 and didn't say a damn thing

I love that even though this is a zombie focused game, it isn't the same old vanilla situation of zombies running around just because.
There's actual lore behind WHY the dead have risen. Rockstar actually took the time to put a backstory into this DLC, even going as far as to incorporate some Aztec legend stuff into it. Cool!
It's not the standard, basic, "ooh there's zombies oh no" type of zombie media like you usually see. There's thought put into it.
I also like that there isn't just zombies, Rockstar also took another creative turn by adding other mythical creatures into the mix, like the Sasquatch, Chupacabra, and Unicorn.
Rockstar even went an extra mile to put in religious references like the Holy Water you weaponize against the undead, and squeezing in the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, figures from the Bible. But instead of the Horsemen, they're horses! Because cowboys and yeehaw and stuff. They have their own magical powers to fight off hoardes of the undead with too, which is really neat.
The zombies aren't all the same, either! There's different species of zombies that do different things; like barfing toxic spit! They even have different names for each type, like the Bruiser! (The obese ones that run at you and knock you down) Clever and unique on Rockstar's part!
Also, the dialogue is really funny at points too. West Dickens being trapped atop his wagon trying to shoo away a fat zombie while John just looks on and laughs is comedic gold.
Rockstar did all this for one DLC.
Best game about the Supernatural out there. 10/10 for quality. 10/10 for nostalgia.
Too bad Rockstar isn't the same as they used to be. Their sparkle dimmed over the decade. What a shame...
