Backstory:
Deadly Honour first came together in the vibrant underground music scene of Seattle, Washington, during the mid-90s. Founding members Kip “Killer” Chambers (lead vocals/guitar) and Jesse “Justifier” Myers (drums) met while working at a local record store, bonding over a shared love for gritty rock-n-roll and a mutual dissatisfaction with the state of popular music. They soon added bassist Luna “Lethal” Lang and lead guitarist Rex “Reaper” Rhodes, whose complementary styles and intense onstage energy helped shape the band’s unique sound.
Initial success came in the form of a self-titled EP that quickly gained traction in the underground rock community. This led to their signing with indie label “Riot Records”, a move that secured the band’s place in the annals of rock history. Despite numerous lineup changes and industry challenges, Deadly Honour has remained relevant, with a dedicated fan base and an uncompromising commitment to their music.

“Chains of Rebellion”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Em C G D
Broken dreams, shattered scenes, hidden behind my eyes,
Em C G D
Rusted chains of rebellion, the truth beneath the lies.
Em C G D
Freedom cries, in lonely nights, beneath the crimson skies,
Em C G D
Unheard screams, unseen dreams, as the old world dies.
(Chorus)
Am Em
I’m breaking the chains, I’m starting anew,
C G
Leaving behind what I once knew.
Am Em
In this world of deadly honour, I find my truth,
C G
In the echoes of my youth.
(Verse 2)
Em C G D
Lost in time, past the prime, chained by yesterday’s sorrow,
Em C G D
Looking for the sunshine, for a better tomorrow.
Em C G D
In the fight, in the night, waiting for the dawn’s glow,
Em C G D
Chains of rebellion, with the seeds of change we sow.
(Chorus)
Am Em
I’m breaking the chains, I’m starting anew,
C G
Leaving behind what I once knew.
Am Em
In this world of deadly honour, I find my truth,
C G
In the echoes of my youth.
