Mendeed was a melodic death metal band formed in 2000 in Dumbarton, Scotland. All members met in Dumbarton Academy when they were teens. In 2002 they self-released their first EP Killing Something Beautiful. After their first EP release their genre came through some changes making their sound far more aggressive, as it finally began to fade in popularity to Metalcore. Around 2003 the band released their second EP As We Rise.
