Sladen Dead

Sladen Dead born Alan Daniel Jackson on 4th September 1986, is a rapper from England, and the forefather of Gothic Rap. He started rapping in he late 90's using gothic melodies to back his vocals, and dark and depressing lyrics. He is the founder of the Gothic Rap band Rye Town's Creatures and also owns the record label Wonderfully Evil Records. His name comes from the combination of the words "Slayed & Dead", in relation to his Vampiric beliefs.

Sladen created the term "Gothic Rap" to seperate himself from the Horrorcore scene, which he has stated "is not what it once was." He has also said that he is "disgusted that people label themselves Horrorcore or Gothic Rap when they know nothing about it and use synthy digital noise in their tracks. That's not what Gothic Rap is about, and if you want real Gothic Rap, only Sladen Dead and his label can provide you with it."
