HAF~DED is a heavy metal band from Reno, Nevada. A four-piece band consisting of a vocalist, guitar, bass and drums, each member draws from their own individual influences, which has enabled them as a whole, to create a unique blend of melody and metal making each song different from the last. Clean and haunting guitar tones that launch into heavily distorted driving riffs are paired with vocals that take you for a ride with a measured blend of melodic and aggressive singing. These are brought together by smooth yet thunderous bass lines as well as deep, tribal-infused metal drum beats.
The band was originally formed by childhood friends guitarist Pete Moran and bassist Brent Breese. After searching for the right mix of musicians, All members added the strength to the foundation of the band. Four years and two singers later, Jon Loop emerged and took the helm as the band's front man. The chemistry of the band is apparent both on stage and off. On the stage, they strive to deliver the best live show possible and off stage Pete, Jon, Brent and Kevin share the bond of being former military men. As a whole the band’s humor and passion and friendship keep them going strong.
