Walking Dead on Broadway are 5 dudes who love music,playing shows and make party.
Making music together with friends, travelling around Germany and it's neighboring countries, and celebrating with after show parties - the Leipzig, Germany-based band WALKING DEAD ON BROADWAY have made this wish come true. By continuously playing shows they've gradually built up a passionate international fan base.
WALKING DEAD ON BROADWAY are Robert (vocals), Michael (guitar), Max (guitar), Kevin (bass) and Stephan (drums). After playing countless local shows the deathcore band, which was founded in Leipzig 2010, started playing on the German club and festival stages: Alter Schlachthof Dresden, Magnet Club Berlin, a local opening slot on the Impericon Progression Tour 2012, Summerbreeze Festival 2013 in Dinkelsbühl and Baltic Sea Festival 2012 in Greifswald.

In March 2012 the band released their debut EP 'Welcome To Corpse Wonderland' which was recorded by Dilyhero Recordings in Berlin.
After this, they united their experiences, the power of their live shows plus the success of their first EP to help create their debut album: Aeshma
Aeshma reflects the dark sides of humanity As a social critical observer WALKING DEAD ON BROADWAY establish Aeshma as a metaphor for misery, distrust and all the evil that people possess. In Iranian mythology Aeshma is a demon that personates people's bad characteristics such as greed, murder, intoxication and wrath. But this record from the five guys from Leipzig is also based around much, much more. They have carefully watched the people around them, as well as studying themselves and converted their impressions into every single song With their mix of self-reflection and analysis of their environment close and far - they've created a deathcore debut album filled to the brim with depth, power and expression
Produced by Christoph Wieczorek (Sawdust Recordings) and mastered by Joey Sturgis (Emmure, Asking Alexandria, We Came As Romans, Oceano, Attila, The Devil) Aeshma is the next big step for WALKING DEAD ON BROADWAY
