Zach Adams – Dead Man Walking

Emerging Alaskan artist Zach Adams has made a bold entrance onto the music scene with their debut album, Dead Man Walking, released August 1st, 2025 through Splitting Adams Entertainment. Serving as the sonic companion to Adams’ horror/fantasy novel of the same name, this self-produced project fuses alternative and progressive rock with heavy metal influences to create an immersive, story-driven experience.

Each track mirrors the novel’s characters and themes, from the haunting title track to the introspective tones of “Drown.” Thunderous riffs and atmospheric textures intertwine, often shaped by Adams’ signature “Doctor Who” delay pedal, pulling listeners deeper into the narrative.

What makes Dead Man Walking stand out is Adams’ complete artistic independence. Free from industry constraints, they’ve crafted a project that balances raw energy with intricate storytelling. It’s a powerful debut that positions Zach Adams as an innovative voice in modern rock, ready to leave a lasting mark.
