Background notes
Archive material and source history
Dead Octuber formed in the late 1990s around Bulgarian-born vocalist and guitarist Alexander Veljanov. Their music has been described as gothic rock or dark wave, with lyrics that draw from classic literature and personal experience. The band's 2004 album 'Masque of the Red Death' gave them a cult following, particularly for its title track.
Their discography includes five studio albums, from 1999's 'Autumn in the Abyss' to 2012's 'Ashes to Ashes.' Another notable song is 'Uncle Sam.' The lineup has changed over time, with current members including drummer Richard C. May, keyboardist Stephen 'Grim' Auty, and bassist Sarah Jensen.
Dead Octuber's dark aesthetic and themes have sometimes drawn criticism, but Veljanov has described the work as an exploration of human nature. They remain a fixture in underground dark music circles.
