Àðõèâ íîâîñòåé | Ðóññêàÿ âåðñèÿ
Rising rock musician, actor, songwriter, and film producer Kurt Deimer has released his reinvention of “Silent Lucidity” featuring Queensrÿche legend Geoff Tate, marking the latest single off Deimer’s sophomore full-length album, A Grog Is Born, out May 8 via his own Bald Man Records.
The gorgeous take on the 1990 power ballad also arrives with a powerful music video highlighting the growing suicide epidemic in the U.S. with a call to action for all those who need help. The video was directed by Paul Boyd and Ed Shiers.
“Working with Geoff Tate on this song was amazing,” shares Deimer. “Along with Chris Lord-Alge, Geoff is a huge mentor to me. The music video shows the raw footage of us all in the studio recording it because we really wanted to show the passion, heart and soul that went into the recording process of this version of the song. Suicide prevention is also really important to me. I made a point to include information in the video to not only bring awareness but to hopefully encourage someone who needs help to get it.”
A Grog Is Born, produced by five-time Grammy-winning producer Chris Lord-Alge (Green Day, Breaking Benjamin), includes Deimer’s current radio single “In Deep” featuring Buckcherry frontman Josh Todd, which recently peaked at #39 on the Mediabase Active Rock radio chart. The thunderous, no-frills single about a hypnotic attraction serves as the album’s opening track. The official music video for “In Deep”, which also features scenes from the Scared To Death film, can be enjoyed here. Check out the official acoustic version of “In Deep”, released in January, at this location.
The new 12-track collection touches on everything from bruising hard rock to epic balladry, while overtly connecting Deimer The Singer and Deimer The Horror Star under the Grog moniker. A Grog Is Born finds Deimer taking a major leap as a vocalist and band-leader, stretching out his instrument beyond distinctively low speak-singing into a more robust melodic style.
His more confident and colorful delivery, elevated by years on the road, allowed him to explore an even more impressive range of styles, from brooding Gregorian-rock of “800 AD” to the optimistic and beautifully atmospheric “True” to the twangy tale of destruction and salvation “Always There”. A Grog Is Born includes a guest appearance from Queensrÿche legend Geoff Tate for a gorgeous reinvention of “Silent Lucidity” and a heavy recreation of the Phil Collins classic “In The Air Tonight”.

In a few short years, Kurt Deimer has been making a name for himself in both the hard rock scene and horror film world. The Cincinnati native with a distinguishing deep voice started his first rock band at age 20 but then pivoted to a more conventional business path. In 2018, he inadvertently revived one of his artistic dreams and kickstarted his flourishing acting career with an appearance in John Carpenter’s Halloween revival, portraying a pivotal role alongside Jamie Lee Curtis and facing off against the infamous Michael Myers, and landing a cameo in the John Travolta racing drama Trading Paint.
Soon after, Deimer officially introduced himself in 2021 as a musician and songwriter with the release of his original, vibrant rock music. He has spent the last few years relentlessly touring with his impressive band, sharing the stage with major acts including Drowning Pool, TESLA, Skid Row, Buckcherry, Sebastian Bach, and Steel Panther. The multi-talent, who also spearheads his own horror movie franchise “Hellbilly Hollow” as both star and producer, continues to up his game to the next level with every project he does. All in all, Kurt Deimer’s mission is to connect with people – connect with their lives, get to know who they are, and bring them hope – no matter what he’s doing.
