...And Y'all Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead (ofttimes abbreviated equally Trail of Dead, or T.o.D., which reads as "death" in German) are an American alternative stone band from Austin, Texas, formed in 1994.^[2] The primary members of the band are Jason Reece and Conrad Keely (formerly Conrad Sobsamai).

Their 10th studio album, X: The Godless Void and Other Stories, was released on January 17, 2020.

History [edit]

Formation [edit]

Keely and Reece have been friends since their youth, and originally in Hawaii. They each formed their get-go bands in Olympia, Washington, where Keely studied at The Evergreen State Higher. Keely, a songwriter and bassist named James Olsen and a guitarist (Paul Westmoreland) started a band in the early 1990s. The band was called varied things before settling on "Bridegroom Gehlen" (named after a monk laid to rest in the St. Martin'south Abby in Olympia). That went on in various names and forms until 1993. Before long later on, Keely became involved in a group called Nancyville, while Reece went on to play drums with Honeybucket and and so queercore band Mukilteo Fairies (the proper noun is a play on words, referencing the ferry boat that travels between Mukilteo and Clinton, Washington). Eventually, Keely and Reece moved to Austin, Texas. The ii started playing as a duo under the moniker "You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead." The band expanded eventually to include guitarist Kevin Allen and bassist Neil Busch. They then officially diffuse their name to ...And Yous Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead. Keely'due south girlfriend from Olympia, Deanne Rowley (after Deanne McAdams), briefly played with them^[3] as a live back-upwards guitarist.

Co-ordinate to the band'south website, their name is taken from an ancient Mayan ritual chant which showed a similarity to an ancient Egyptian chant.^[4] They have besides stated that this is a joke.^[5]
