Deist Requiem

Deist Requiem is an industrial rock band from Virginia Beach, Virginia, founded by frontman Kyzer Kooper (born William Alan Cooper in 1992 in Kingsport, Tennessee). The band was signed to WarHead Record for its self-titled CD which was produced by Martin Atkins(Pigface, Ministry, Nine Inch Nails). After breaking from the label over disputes over rights and money, the band then went out on their own label Sacrifice Records. Touring across the USA for years gaining a huge underground following while opening for such bands as Alice Cooper, Scorpions, Gwar, Marilyn Manson, Morbid Angel, Kid Rock, Sevendust, Sister machine Gunn, La Guns, Hate Dept, King's X, Boiler, Dog Fashion Disco, Overkill, Nile, Staind, The Dave Brockie Experience, Bongzilla, Bad Religion, Wednesday 13, Lamb of God and many more. DEIST REQUIEM was signed and endorsed by Jägermeister in 1998 and was one of the first in the Jager band promotion. After disbanding in 2002 Kyzer Kooper and co-founding guitar player David Wright joined with keyboardist Toad and bassist Jeff Daye to form DEVILJOY. They released one CD called The Fine Art of Failure in 2006.

In 2009, Kyzer Kooper formed the band America's Most Rotten. The band toured a little, recorded a CD and then broke up. The CD was never released. In 2010 Kooper reformed DEIST with Red Burke (bass) and Lucky Riggs (guitar) and Scott Stewart (drums) for a series of shows.
