Mendeed is a heavy metal band, formed in Dumbarton, Scotland. All members met in Dumbarton Academy as teens. They began as a nu metal band but switched styles following the 'Killing Something Beautiful' EP as the genre began to fade in popularity to metalcore.
In December 2003 Mendeed signed a recording contract with UK label Rising Records. The bands first recording for the label was the mini-album "From Shadows Came Darkness" which was released in September 2004 and produced by Mark Daghorn. Since its release tracks have been played on rock and metal radio stations and a live session was recording and aired on BBC Radio 1 Rockshow. They have since toured quite extensively, supporting the Power Metal band DragonForce on two separate tours.
In December 2004 the video for single "Ignite the Flames" was added to the playlists of MTV2 shows "Headbangers Ball" and "120 Minutes" as well as being added to the catalogue of Scuzz TV.
Mendeed released This War Will Last Forever in 2006 on Rising Records/ Nuclear Blast. They also contributed to Kerrang's Master of Puppets Remastered album with the song The Thing That Should Not Be.
They recently were on tour with Napalm Death, after a recent tour supporting Slipknot. Their second album 'The Dead Live By Love' was released in February of 2007. Two new songs were posted on their myspace page in mid-December 2006.
Mendeed will be playing at the 2000 Trees Festival in Cheltenham, UK on the 14th of July 2007.
