About Deathcode

Deathcode was formed by four chefs in early 2016 with the goal of becoming the world's ultimate hard rock fusion experience. Once you listen you'll agree; Deathcode has the freshest sound on the planet. This band has one guiding principle:  if it sounds good, Deathcode plays it. The brothers play original hard rock, metal, punk, groove, grunge, stoner, blues, ska, and funk, often combining two or more genres in one song for a completely distinctive sound. The result is a unique experience that always whips the crowd into a frenzy, and delivers thrills through stage antics, and of course, music. It has been billed locally as "The Deathcode Effect."

Highly professional, intelligent and nimble, while maintaining a rough and tumble image, Deathcode has nearly thirty shows under our belts from New Jersey to Maine. Destined for international recognition, Deathcode wants you to be part of the journey. Contact us today.

Short Bios

Chris "Animal" Montaña (drums and vocals)

Chris is the energetic, charasmatic madman of Deathcode. Formerly a military man, Animal is a magician, master flair bartender, dancer, and most of all, a multi-instrument musician deftly thwacking the drums. Crafting strange hypnotizing rhythmic patterns that defy all convention, Chris is an extremely outrageous stage performer who draws from punk, jRock, goth, metal, reggae, folk and classical symphonies..

William "Hoppy" Hopson (bass guitar)

William is a former Navy Shore Patrol Watch Commander. He has also served as the principal bass player for the Juice Jazz Avant Garde Jazz Ensemble. Currently he is a father; husband; educator teaching piano, guitar, drums, and bass; Compliance Officer; an artist; a composer; a producer; and a volunteer for many charitable endeavors. Hoppy is Deathcode's erudite, fashionable and refined Renaissance man. Classically trained as a multi-instrument musician, his smooth yet driving bass guitar beautifully binds the string and rhythm sections, while forging a resoundingly rich and distinct texture of his own. Will's influences include funk, rock, latin, jazz, country, blues, gospel, R&B.

Jason "Logic" Goclowski (guitar and vocals)

Jason is a former ENT and fireman. Currently he is a construction worker, truck driver, philosopher, biker, and best of all, Deathcode's no-nonsense straight-talking guitarist. Logic has over 20 years playing distinctive and contrasting riffs that clash and play together sweetly into spine-chilling melodies. Jason's influences include hard rock, thrash, metal, glam, country, and blues.
