Deadly Apples is a Canadian industrial rock act, founded in 2002 by Alex Martel (often referred to as Freak) in Montebello, Quebec. Martel is the only original member of Deadly Apples and serves as its main producer, art director, singer, songwriter and instrumentalist along with Antoine Lamothe in recent years. Underground metal audiences in Canada warmly received Deadly Apples in its early years while the music was mainly influenced by alternative metal and thrash metal. The band gained a larger audience throughout the years as the music shifted to a more accessible industrial rock sound. Despite moderate success, Deadly Apples praises the DIY ethic and so far neglected recording deals from indie labels.

Deadly Apples released two independent albums, Metamorphosis Has Begun in 2005 and Infected in 2008, both produced and recorded by Martel with different producers. The touring band features a revolving lineup currently consisting of Martel on vocals, keyboards, sampling, guitars and tambourine; Antoine Lamothe formely of Endensa and Skindealer on drums; Gabriel Maurice on bass and keyboards; PG on guitars. On stage, Deadly Apples gives harsh performances that frequently culminate with the band destroying their instruments, among various other stage antics by Martel that garnered some controversy. The band toured Canada many times since 2004. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
