Extendead

Two friends. One vision. One band. Extendead began as an acoustic project, a safe space for two musicians to channel their emotions. Soon, they embraced experimental metal, blending progressive metal with old-school metalcore for a sound both powerful and emotional.

The name says it all—Extendead pushes musical boundaries while forging a bond like family. The duo: Christian Busch (Bury The Flame) as composer/producer and Nico Schaal as the creative force behind the concept, vocals, and lyrics. Together, they craft music that challenges and resonates deeply.

Three years after their debut single Suffocate, Extendead is ready for the next step. Their upcoming EP Letting Go (March 7, 2025) explores cycles of vice and suffering, while their first full-length album, a journey through dream states, is set for 2026.

Fusing Trivium’s intensity with Dream Theater’s finesse, Extendead delivers a brutal, honest, and emotional experience.
