Epic Death Premieres "Karma's A Bitch" Video
Following the release of the "Witchcraft" album in late 2015, we're teaming up with Texas outfit Epic Death once again to exclusively premiere a killer new lyric video.
Created by Tommy D Kat of Grindhouse media, check out the "Karma's A Bitch" video below.
Guitarist / front man Dennis Dorsett comments: "Many times in life things happen that you'd like to handle but you know that Karma has your back and sometimes she will make death seem better than living when she's done with you."
The band was conceived in 2010 by Dorsett – whose previous credits include work with Aggravated Assault, Chaos, Mischief, Majik, Balance and NeverDead – and features a lineup of artists from the metal circles of Houston and Dallas/Fort Worth: keyboardist/vocalist Becky Dorsett; bass guitarist Justin Riddler of Dead Trip and drummer Reece Stanley, alumnus of Dallas metallers Phantom-X.
Epic Death is prominently featured in Derek Norman's 2012 documentary “Heavy in Houston,” and back before the cameras in the sequel "Heavier in Houston." The band's debut full-length "Witchcraft" is also out now and available for full streaming right here. More...

Epic Death Covers Alice Cooper
Houston, Texas based black / thrash / death metal band Epic Death has released a cover of Alice Cooper's classic track "Poison," taken from upcoming album "Witchcraft" that comes out on December 11th, 2015. Becky Dorsett of Epic Death comments:
"We started the journey of choosing a previously recorded song by putting songs on a list that would coordinate with the name of our album. When it was all said and done we looked at each song and asked 'which one really means something to us.' Well for Dennis and myself it was Alice Cooper's 'Poison.' You see we both see Alice Cooper as the original rebel shock rocker who makes every show like Halloween. It is also one of Dennis' and Reece's favorite songs.
"The final icing on the cake was going to see the 'Super Duper Alice Cooper' movie. Everything that was in that movie Dennis and I could relate to on many levels. Not only is the man a genius as a musician but he is just as 'human' as the rest of us. Most of all, he's our musical hero!" More...
