Deadsy is an American rock band from Los Angeles. Formed by Elijah Blue Allman in 1995, the band is characterized by analog keyboard and guitar synthesizers, Allman's baritone vocals, theatrical image and retro 1980s gothic rock style.
The band was initially signed to Sire Records, but their self-titled debut album for the label was shelved shortly before its 1997 release. After attempting to re-work the album, the label dropped them in 1999. After signing to Jonathan Davis' Elementree Records and finally releasing the album, now known as Commencement, in 2002, Deadsy toured across the United States, most notably performing on the Family Values Tour. After the release of Phantasmagore on Immortal Records/Elementree in 2006, the band went on hiatus in 2007. In 2020, it was reported the band had plans for a 2021 release of its third album titled Subterfugue, ahead of its re-release of Phantasmagore. The album has not yet been released. However, on February 8, 2024, the band would release their first single in 18 years, titled "(study for a portrait of) Napolean In Rags".
