Death of Metal started as just a scattered dream, picking up pieces here and there and fitting them together. Writing riffs since he was 16, it took Clay Miller 20 years to turn those riffs into songs and Death of Metal into a reality.

In 2024, Clay met Robert Hines, A key to opening the door and pursing this dream further. Rob is a master musician, with great knowledge of recording as well. Hence the recording process started, Clay recorded his first 5 songs with rob on Guitar, while Rob wrote and recorded the bass and lead guitar to fill in the gaps of Clay’s creations.

Death of Metal needed drums. Then in 2025, Josh Lauze entered the picture. Josh, is an old high school friend of Clays wife Sydney. Josh is an expert in his craft and his ability to record and produce took Death of Metal to the next level. Through Josh, the songs were elevated and brought to the final stages.

Long time friend, Scott Postulo, also played his part in the creation of Death of Metal. Scott is a great song writer himself and a modern day Shakespeare, helping write the lyrics for Clays songs. Scotty and Clay are 2 parts of the True Rock Trio – Scotty P and the Virgins.

Some of Clay’s favourite bands and biggest influences, are Metallica, Children of Bodom, and Black Label Society. We hope you enjoy and buy some merch if you want to support Death of Metal!
