DEADNIGHT is a blackened thrash metal band from Illinois, USA, formed in 2005. Influenced by early black metal and thrash, the band combines aggressive riffs, fast tempos, and dark atmosphere with a sound rooted in traditional extreme metal.
The band released their debut full-length album, Messenger of Death, in 2008, followed by Riders of the Black Wind in 2011. After a hiatus, DEADNIGHT returned in 2022 with the EP Canon of Irreverence.
Their latest album, The Black Scourge, continues the band’s evolution with a darker, more atmospheric sound while maintaining the aggressive style of their earlier material.
DEADNIGHT continues to operate independently releasing music through underground channels.

Reviews
“Canon of Irreverence just blows your mind, taking no prisoners (being ruthlessly aggressive & uncompromising) and a direct punch in the face.”
— Metal-Revolution
“True metallic fury has been unleashed as Deadnight blasts forth with Messenger of Death, one of the most hammering, true METAL albums of the year.” - David Horn
— SOD Magazine
“Riffs and leads soar like that of the mythical phoenix, barbarous rhythms resound from the bowels of hell, and inhumane vocals of the Dissection kind mutilate and eviscerate.” - Jason Deaville
— Bravewords & Bloody Knuckles
“A no-frills approach that emphasizes razor sharp riffs, speedy gallops and conventional, yet skillfully written song structures goes a long way toward making the disc memorable and menacingly fun.” - Scott Alisoglu
— Metal Maniacs
