Description:
Half Past Dead is a six-piece American Hard Rock/Heavy Metal band originating from Richmond, Virginia. Founded in August 6th, 2014, HPD is an odd but fitting combination of rock, metal, and punk. Their message is to live life to the fullest and not let anybody or anything get in the way. They consider themselves the epitome of shock rock in Richmond. Their songs, while on the heavy side, range from topics of love, death, and the reality of life. They also consider themselves "the new bad guys and girls of rock and roll." Being both melodic and psychopathic, their shows are packed with energy. Nobody leaves a Half Past Dead concert without their minds blown. They aren't the type of band your mother would like! HPD brings it to the people real, upfront, and unafraid. Keeping the spirit of rock and roll alive. Half Past Dead has also opened for popular bands such as Vampires Everywhere and The Relapse Symphony and have even headlined their own shows as well.


Band Members:
The members of Half Past Dead each have their own style and taste ranging from punk to jazz but all share the same passion for heavy rock/metal which gives this band a unique sound that is both appealing to old and new generations of rock and roll fans.

Lead singer & founder: Alexander Black - Having a naturally wide range of musical inspiration, the energetic frontman is nothing short of a great performer. People describe his actions on stage very raw and uncensored. None of his actions are choreographed according to the other band members. Some say his stage presence reminds them of some demonic ritual. With his signature top hat and skull cane, he constantly catches the eyes of the audience. Despite his stage appearance, Alexander Black does not lack in his vocal performance. Being professionally trained in techniques of singing and "harsh vocals" a.k.a screaming, Alexander Black never ceases to disappoint the crowd. Rhythm guitarist/singer: Sophia Hernandez - She may seem innocent and sweet, but she's the definition of attitude. Sophia is the added charisma and punk rock "screw you" type of person. People constantly assume that because she's a girl, she must sound like a bowl of cotton candy. When in reality her crunchy guitar tone and grunge-style vocals are what set her apart from everyone else, and make her a perfect fit for Half Past Dead. Most bands have only one person that is the voice of the band. In this case, both Alexander Black and Sophia are the voice. Together they are an unstoppable vocal team. Rhythm/lead guitarist: Camden Harrahy - A natural performer, Camden is not afraid to give the audience a great show. His guitar skills are impeccable and he will remind you not with words, but with his guitar. Being blessed with the gift of "perfect-pitch", Camden never hits a wrong note and will rip out a solo when necessary and draw it back when the song calls for it. Lead guitarist: Austin Washington - A lover of jazz/fusion and metal, Austin has a vast understanding of music and can write anything he puts his mind to. Austin Washington is nothing short of a child prodigy of guitar. His solos will bend your mind in mysterious ways and leave you asking "how did he do that?" He is also very fluid while on stage, constantly doing what all rockers do...head banging! Bassist/singer: Chris O'Leary - The youngest member of the band is most certainly not the least talented. A lover of all styles of music, especially jazz and classic rock, Chris has perfected his technique on the bass. His main inspirations are John Paul Jones and Jaco Pastorius. He is definitely a true bassist and not just a guitarist who plays root notes. He also has a powerful singing voice and is not afraid to showcase his talents. Drummer: Nigel Tracey - A perfectionist on the kit, Nigel is undoubtably the bands "engine". His endless endurance and rhythmic talents can hardly be put into words. His style of drumming is reminiscent of punk, metal, and classic rock all rolled up into one. He will not hesitate to put a spin on how you view the drum kit.
