Dead When I Found Her is a project helmed by the American industrial musician Michael Arthur Holloway, based in Portland, Oregon. A modern torchbearer for the classic industrial music sound, Dead When I Found Her skillfully blends the electronic intensity of early genre pioneers with a contemporary production sheen. Holloway launched the project in the late 2000s, evoking the atmosphere of acts like Skinny Puppy, Front Line Assembly, and Nine Inch Nails, with a complex layering of synths, sampling, and brooding vocals.

Marking its emergence onto the dark electronic scene, Dead When I Found Her made a significant impact with its debut album, "Harm's Way," in 2010. From its inception, Holloway's music has been characterized by its intricate sound design and thematically dark narratives, weaving a tapestry of death, philosophy, and psychological horror. The project's evolution is evident across subsequent releases, with albums such as "Rag Doll Blues" and "All the Way Down" delving deeper into existential dread and the human psyche. The 2016 album "Eyes on Backwards" continued to push boundaries, gaining acclaim for its articulate homage to the genre's roots while maintaining a distinct identity. Each release saw Dead When I Found Her maturing and refining its sonic expression, winning over fans who crave the depth and intricacy of industrial music's heyday with a modern twist.
