Musical style

[edit]

Davey Suicide has been classified as a rock band with industrial and goth elements. Early band influences include Guns N' Roses, Pantera, Metallica, Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails, and Eminem. Davey's favorite frontmen and lyricists are Axl Rose, Eminem, and Marilyn Manson, whom he has tattooed on his forearm.[3]

[edit]

In 2016, Standby Records and Davey Suicide had a public and legal dispute.[4] Suicide released an 11-minute video on Facebook detailing his experience with Standby Records and alleging that they sabotaged the band's career.[5] The music community rallied behind Suicide, which forced the case into a settlement within the same week of the video's release.[citation needed] Suicide regained his master recordings for Put Our Trust in Suicide, Davey Suicide, and World Wide Suicide, as well as freedom from the label in exchange for the removal of the viral post.[6]

Made from Fire

[edit]

In March 2017, Davey Suicide released Made from Fire (produced by Charles Kallaghan Massabo), the first album since the settlement. The album peaked at number 24 on the Billboard charts and outsold all of their previous releases on Standby Records.[7]
