But from the outside, at least, the Brooklyn-based musician rarely takes half-measures. Dedstrange, “built from the smoldering decay of the music industry,” per its online bio, currently lists a half-dozen bands on its roster.
The list, naturally, includes Ackermann’s own A Place to Bury Strangers, which has thus far released an EP, with the full-length, See Through You due out next month.
Prior to forming "the loudest band in New York,” Ackermann launched effects pedal company, Death By Audio, which lent its name to a beloved Brooklyn art/workspace and venue, which ultimately shut down in 2014.
