Dead Weight, a fast-rising Hard-Rock/Bass act best known for the hit song “Mara,” continues to ascend to the top of dance with the release of the new dubstep anthem called “Convulsing.”
The song has a powerful message: “When no one is there for you, music is there for you, and I’m there for you.” The music is designed for people who feel depressed, like an outcast, or are just going through struggles in life. “Convulsing” enables listeners to release their anguish, tension, and overall negative energy by dancing and headbanging.
“Dead Weight is a light switch to me. And I aim for others to see it that way too,” says the Chicago native. “The brutal and aggressive style is pushed with the intention of relief. To untangle the noose. Don’t harm others or yourself. Rather, put the volume to 11 and let the music take the brunt of your energy.”
Utilizing an unconventional method, Dead Weight would turn off his phone and lock himself in the studio while forging this track. Dead Weight continued: “It’s about releasing tension and being vulnerable; going against the grain while still maintaining my authentic self.”
The song is available everywhere via own imprint. After the stream, continue to follow Dead Weight’s journey on social media.

Check out the interview with Dead Weight below:
“This changes quite often, but right now, I’m catching myself listening to a lot of Alpha Wolf, Napalm Death, and Static Dress. All of these bands have incredible music and creativity that motivates me to push my own brand/music to the next level. It can be as simple as a snare they use in their songs, or a catchy vocal hook that makes me feel the music rather than just hear it.”
“The main personality behind Dead Weight is suicide pervention. Music, any genre, has always helped me with my mental health and I can confidently say that it helps others as well. With that, My team and I will be donating all of the merch proceeds for this November collections to a sucicide prevention charity based locally in chicago. My team and I have many future plans that are in development to give the people a platform to communicate how they feel in a safe and judgment free zone. One of the many is an obvious one, Music. Music is a powerful tool, it can remind you of the past and yet also make you feel nostalgic for events that haven’t happened yet. Music can help you through your worst or best days. It doesn’t care about your age, weight, height or race. It’s a universal language that you feel. That’s how I hope the listeners can interpret Dead Weight, when you think nobody’s there I’m here and so is the music.”
“I enjoy writing music more. As much fun and inspiring it is to bring a group of people together and share a timeless memory, I find the most comfort making music off my laptop. It’s my best form of healthy therapy. Naturally, I can be a closed off person, but when I’m writing my guard is down and my mind just wanders with creativity. I often answer a lot of my own questions regarding my emotions based on what track I’m writing.“
“No doubt, Skillex and Slipknot. Both two powerhouses in their highly respective fields. These two highly talented Bands/Artists have had a massive influence on not only the music I write, but the person I am today.”
“In 5 years I see myself owning some land in the western farm lands of Europe with a small house and a private recording studio occupying most of the home. Still being able to tour internationally while having my safe haven back in the quiet rural lands of France.”
