DEI welcomes Anton with his 6-string beast of a machine to join the group!
Anton Kravets has a long musical history of playing different instruments while bass playing being his main instrument.
 
 
Anton comments:
“I have always been a big fan of heavy but melodic music. When I heard DEI for the first time I noticed that it is exactly the case of quality and melodic heavy metal. They were looking for a bass player and luckily I got to become a part of DEI!“
“I got a new metronome” commented drummer Peksi on Anton’s playing

Hello there, and happy new year 2026!
We started this band back in 2010, and somehow it still feels like (almost) yesterday. Time really does fly when you have fun and even when not so fun. Over the past 16 years I’ve seen a lot: many ups, even more downs, rehearsals, gigs, releases, request campaigns, merch orders, reviews, chances, disappointments, despair, and hope.
After all that, here are the words I never thought I would write:
After thinking about this for a long time and careful consideration, I have decided to leave Dead End Irony.

Thank you to everyone who came to the gigs (or even rehearsals), gave feedback, listened, and requested our music on that certain radio station! You really made it all worth it. At times, you honestly made me feel like a rockstar 🙂
