Death Sealed Covenant (DSC) was formed in October of 2009, founded by James Granger and Chris Bourke. The band was formed at a school called DeLaSalle High School in Minneapolis when all members were in the 9th grade (freshman). James and Chris decided to make a band and make a song called "Screw Swine Flu" as a joke to make fun of the Swine Flu outbreak of 2009. When talking about it at a football game, bassist Tim Bitney overheard and asked if the band needed a bassist where Chris and James said yes. A few weeks later they were talking about how they needed another guitarist and Nick Merriam also overheard and asked if he could join. Ian Ebner was added on in November of 2009. When the roster was complete they decided to originally name the band "Sacred Blasphemy" but later changed it to DSC. The original name was Tim's idea, while the current name was Chris' idea. The meaning of the band's name is that in the New Testament of the bible, Jesus said that he was the "New and everlasting covenant", but in order for the covenant to be fulfilled, Jesus had to die. This means that Jesus sealed the covenant with his death, where the name Death Sealed Covenant comes from. The first actual song the band completed was a ballad for English class for a 30 point project. The song took them 12 hours to complete and was recorded on an old Mac computer with a $30 dollar mic. The ballad was called "Everlasting Slumber", and the band ended up getting 35 points out of 30 on it. DSC met in 2009 at DeLaSalle High School in Minneapolis and are all friends from school. It's a local band with not a lot of money, but is out to make music because each and every member has a passion for music. DSC is very thankful for all of it's fans and everyone who supports it. Thank you all very much. Here's a little bit about each member of the band:
