Trail Of Dead Fight Source Tags' Legacy

…And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead are a band cursed by a near perfect album. Source Tags And Codes, which came out in 2002, was their opus. It was equal parts raw and elegant, and epic yet accessible. A record like that can do more damage than good, and it almost destroyed Trail Of Dead. It still might, as an album so great will...

...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead — So Divided

Austin, Texas' ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead are a funny band.

In recent years, however, Trail Of Dead have taken a few steps back and enabled their prog and classic rock leanings to...

...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead — Worlds Apart

Yeah, it’s only the start of 2005, but the best song you’re likely to hear this year is Trail Of Dead’s "Will You Smile Again For Me." The song opens with a spiraling burst of guitars and a percussive assault before magically dissipating. Then stretched horns pulse in the distance and there’s some forlorn warbling before a primitive, thunderous...

Pumping: ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead — The Century Of Self

So this is the big Trail Of Dead comeback record, huh? Alright, I'll buy in. It sounded pretty good and there were a couple moments that made me feel like bustin' stuff. But, y'know, in a righteous art rock rage kind of way, not in a Limp Bizkit way.
