Dead Metal [survival horror]

On a failing tour and running out of money, Chance and his band are used to bad nights. Bad crowds. Bad decisions.

But nothing prepares them for what they find behind a dumpster in Ohio.

A dying man—rotting, raving, and muttering about visions—should have been someone else’s problem. Instead, one moment of hesitation turns into a nightmare: blood spilled, a bite taken, and something unknowable set loose.

They run.

They convince themselves it’s over.

They’re wrong.

By the time they reach Cincinnati, the sickness has already begun to spread—quietly at first, then all at once. What should have been another forgettable show becomes the epicenter of a violent, unstoppable outbreak.

Fans become monsters. Friends become threats. The city becomes a slaughterhouse.

As infection tears through the streets and the body count rises, Chance realizes the truth: this didn’t start in Cincinnati.

But it will end there—one way or another.

Dead Metal is a savage, high-octane horror story where guilt festers, survival has a price, and the line between human and monster doesn’t just blur—It rots away.
