Death Spells
On July 29, Frank and James Dewees released a debut album titled, Nothing Above, Nothing Below under the name, “Death Spells.” The idea for the album initiated in 2012, but due to other projects, it was pushed back.
Death Spells toured in cities such as Glasgow, London, Birmingham, Manchester, Moscow, and New York.
