Through the Eyes of the Dead is a gore-flick inspired deathcore band from Florence, South Carolina. The band was formed by vocalist Anthony Gunnells in 2003 after the break-up of a previous group, Tell Her I Said Goodbye. Their first full-length album was released in 2005 through Prosthetic Records. Shortly before, every member except for Gunnells left, due to their unwillingness to tour. The band's influences include Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse, and At the Gates. Their music mainly consists of fast drum patterns, pedaling guitar riffs, and mainly high-pitch screams. Their music gives an unmastered like sound, making it a raw and brutal flavor for the ears. They recently toured with As I Lay Dying, In Flames, Trivium, Gwar, The Chariot, Cannibal Corpse, The Black Dahlia Murder, Terror, and Behemoth on the Sounds of the Underground tour. According to the band's official myspace page, the band is currently working on a follow up album to 2005's Bloodlust, entitled, Malice. In early 2007, founder and only original member, Anthony Gunnells, was kicked out of the band, joining Augusta, Georgia's By the Sins Fell Angels soon after.

[edit] Trivia
- According to guitarist Longshore, in an interview by Revolver Magazine, TTEOTD was once sitting and drinking coffee when they were approached by a man who claimed to be a photographer from a foot fetish magazine. He asked to take pictures of their feet, so they said "OK" and allowed him to take the pictures. They later realized, because the man had a disposable camera, that this was just a pervert who wanted pictures of feet.
- The quote at the end of 'The Truest Shade of Crimson' off their album Bloodlust is from the serial killer and foot fetishist Jerry Brudos.
