'''Ded Mek''' was one of the most famous bands in the [[Federated Suns]].<ref name=Ded_Mek/>

==History==
The band, which presented its first album in [[3045]] was best know for their intricately planned and staged concerts, and songs with a blatant message in them.

Their first [[Ded Mek (album)|self-titled album]] sold six billion copies in the [[Crucis March]], and a grand total of fourteen point five million [[Inner Sphere|Sphere]]-wide. This album included a song ''Dear Romano'' that rumors said had sent [[Romano Liao]] into a towering rage and sent a [[Maskirovka]] hit team after the band.

Their second album was [[Live from the Drop Zone]] and was the best selling album in the [[Federated Suns]] half of the [[Federated Commonwealth]] for three straight years and was consistently in the top five in the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] half at the same time.

The next four albums, [[Inferno Round]], [[Hunting Jade Falcons]], [[Dead Smoked Cat]], and [[The Silence of the Dead]] did well, with the band retiring from touring in [[3062]], and completely retiring in [[3064]].

This all changed after the end of the [[Word of Blake]] occupation of [[New Avalon]]. On the 7th august 3075, [[FSNS]] interviewed the group's lead singer who announced that the group would prepare a new tour (which at that time consisted of ten planets) and would be publishing a new album by the end of the year called [[The Warrior Still Stands]]. The group's idea was to donate the proceeds to The New Avalon Relief Effort.<ref name=Ded_Mek>''BattleCorps: INN Newscast (ScandalVids section), news item published [07/08/3075] "Ded Mek Announces First New Album and Tour in 15 Years"''</ref>
