Album Notes

Born on Halloween and raised in the blues and rock n' roll rich environment of Chicago was Darren Deicide. Always a fixture on the independent music scene, Darren Deicide ultimately rambled his way to New Jersey. There he initiated Ever Reviled Records, a worker-owned and run record label that releases counter-cultural music, and was the vocalist/guitarist for the politically-charged, underground radical rock band Hopeless Dregs of Humanity. As Hopeless Dregs of Humanity came to its demise, from its remnants emerged Darren Deicide with a guitar, trademark snarling vocals, a stomping foot, and a sense of whiskey-fueled righteousness. All of this combined with his unique, self-taught playing style has Darren Deicide now delivering a contemporary brand of roots-influenced rock that was described in one review as "John Lee Hooker meets Johnny Rotten". Like his own multi-cultural background, his music is an eclectic hybrid of blues, rock n' roll, boogie, spoken word, and even punk. "Rockin til the Apocalypse", his debut CD, is released on Ever Reviled Records under the name "Darren 'Deicide' Kramer". Darren Deicide maintains a continuous touring schedule and has played with a diverse array of notable artists all over the American east coast, south, and midwest that has spanned from Dead Prez to David Rovics. Temptation and the Taboo, Part 1, his second full-length release, is now available on Ever Reviled Records.
