Deadbolt is a rock band from San Diego, California, U.S. They describe themselves as "The Scariest Band in the World." The band often features two bass players, who are called "The Wall of Thunder."
The band originally formed in 1988 as a trio, featuring guitarist and vocalist Harley Davidson, bassist and vocalist Robert "RA" MacLean and drummer Les Vegas. Both Vegas and MacLean have since left the band. Vegas' departure is chronicled in the song "Po' Boy" on the album Hobo Babylon. The other current members of the band are bassist Gary "3rd Degree" Burns (part of the band's "Wall Of Thunder") and drummer Tank Johnson. Tank Johnson died on January 11, 2015. Former members of the band include The PhanTom (bass and guitar), Claymore Mines (bass), The Coroner (bass), Coffin Boy (bass), Moose Cutter (bass), and Mark Davidson (Harley's brother) aka Lord Von Crappo who still occasionally plays with the band. Vocalist/guitarist Diana Death occasionally contributes.
Deadbolt's music combines surf rock, goth, psychobilly and blues sound with unusual and offbeat lyrics, a style the band dubbed "voodoobilly." Besides the release of several CDs, the band has toured both North America and Europe extensively.
The band is known for its use of power tools during their live sets, and it is customary to be showered with sparks of red-hot metal during their live shows.
Three members of the band were also in a short-lived offshoot group called The Strangers 1800, which performed music from Spaghetti Western films and TV westerns and released one EP, '' When Men Were Men and the Sheep Were Scared and one split record with Deadbolt on Goldenrod Records.''

Deadbolt is a side-scrolling stealth- action video game developed by Hopoo Games, who also created Risk of Rain. The game was released as a demo on April 19, 2015, and officially on Steam for Microsoft Windows on March 14, 2016. Linux and Mac OS X versions were also made available a few months later.
The game centers on the Grim Reaper as he progresses through three sets of nine levels filled with hordes of undead that he must kill. There are three main types of undead throughout the game: Zombies, Vampires, and Skeletons, also known as Dredged. Each set of levels is based on an undead type: the first set of nine levels focuses on Zombies, the next set focuses on Vampires, and the last focuses on the Dredged. The game also has a map editor where levels can be shared on the Steam workshop.
