Death & Exhale

Est. 2020

We are Death & Exhale, a death metal/deathcore band based out of Northeast Ohio. Our members consist of Anthony Tyler; Drummer, Dylan Dombrowski; Rhythm Guitarist/Production, Steve Hughes; Vocalist, Daulton Sekely; Lead Guitarist/Vocalist, and Jason George; Bassist. We strive to make the most brutal music that Ohio has to offer.

Anthony and our former vocalist started the band together in 2020 as a guitar/drum duo. Forming the beginning of what we know now as the Underground EP. Picking up Steve as the bassist and fellow vocalist later that year. Dylan joined the following year as the rhythm guitarist, replacing the former vocalist so that he may focus on vocals. Together we finished and released that EP. We have been writing constantly, getting ourselves into every local venue that we set our eyes on. All the while, spreading the love of metal to everyone that has ears. We gained our lead/second guitarist, Daulton, in early 2024 rounding out our lineup as a five piece for the time being. However, due to personal differences within the band, our former vocalist departed in August of 2024 leaving Steve to focus on being the front man. Throughout 2025, we remained a four piece with bass on backing tracks until June of 2026 when we gained our bassist, Jason.

Death & Exhale's music adds a unique twist of progressive metal and djent to your typical death metal and deathcore. Influences from bands such as Periphery, Spiritbox, Whitechapel, DarkoUS, Death, and Gojira. We have also played with the likes of Filth, Conquer Divide, Hunt the Dinosaur, Resistor, Monochromatic Black, Fight From Within, Goroh, Maelstrom Blvck, Midwinter, Fromjoy, Dawn of Ouroboros, Heartsick, Dead Cassette, Fires in the Distance, ENMY, Inferious, Take the Flame, Moneyball, Last of Lucy, and Pathogenic, to name a few.

We currently have our first full length album completed and released as of October 3rd, 2025. We are currently working on our second full length album with a waterfall release planned. So keep your eyes peeled and ears open! You can find us on Spotify, Apple Music, and many other streaming services. Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Tik Tok for updates.
