Hope Deferred (band)
Hope Deferred is a Texan death metal band formed in Arlington, TX in 2014 by Andrew Godwin & Jon Tooley.
History
2013-2016: Formation and two song demo
After The Famine disbanded in 2011, Andrew Godwin continued to write music with the help of Jon Tooley as producer. In 2013, one of the demo songs (Bleed Out) was used for a Tim Lambesis' side project called Pyrithion.[1]. Upon returning from the studio in California, Godwin decided to pursue a heavy metal project with former The Famine touring guitarist Jon Tooley. Over the summer of 2014, they set out to self-produce a demo that would end up being three songs mixed and mastered by Logan Mader of Machine Head fame. Two of the three songs (Coward & Parade The Corpses) would go on to be released in 2016[2].
2020-2023: Breathing Murder cover
In 2020, long time friend, and former Embodyment bandmate, Jason Lindquist moved back to Texas. Lindquist was quickly recruited[3] for bass and writing momentum resumed. Godwin proposed a cover of Living Sacrifice's Breathing Murder from their 1994 release Inhabit. The three members once again self-produced this single. This time they hired Andreas Magnusson[4] of Red Planet Studios to mix and master it, as he had worked with Godwin on the Famine's 2008 debut: The Raven and the Reaping[5]
2024-present: Forthcoming full release
The band recruited former Embodyment bandmate Derrick Wadsworth to cover drum duties. Shortly after, David Bunton[6] of Tennessee's The Showdown was introduced to the band and was offered the lead vocal position. At this time, the band had over two handfuls of songs and decided to make a cut of 10 songs for their first full release, set to be released in 2025. This as-of-yet unnamed album will also be mixed and mastered by Andreas Magnusson.
