Arizona rap metal unit Dropout Kings share “Deadname” video

Last year, trap metal progenitors Dropout Kings dropped “Yokai”, the final record featuring enigmatic frontman Adam Ramey following his untimely passing. After bringing together a career-spanning lineup of Kings current and past, the band took this celebration of Ramey’s life on the road to share with fans as everyone tried to heal from the shock. Lauded by fans and critics alike, with Nu Metal Agenda stating that “the name DROPOUT KINGS should be on more people’s lips, no matter what the band’s next move may be”, “Yokai” proved to be a unifying force to a hurting community.
 
Post-release, the band has also released the video for “Deadname”. The neon-tinged, tumultuous digital visuals heighten the emotional song’s desperate energy. A mixture of They Live and the Ninja Turtles, there’s a subterranean vibe to the music video. The band is violently illuminated with vibrant, flashing flares of color that paint them in exciting glows.
 
About the video, Dropout Kings’ Black Cat Bill states:
“Some songs you sing, others you let the spirits speak through you. This is ‘Deadname’.”
