The LIVING TOMBSTONE IS the duo YOAV LANDAU and SAM HAFT. Having
created and released music for over eleven years, they have amassed 8
million YouTube subscribers, and their music has achieved over 70
billion streams across platforms.
Fresh off the back of a sold out North American Tour in 2024, The
LIVING TOMBSTONE ARE WORKING ALONGSIDE INDUSTRY-best alternative
producer CJ Baran (Panic! at the Disco, COIN, One OK Rock) on their
next album, entitled '_RUST', _out later this year. _“Just as
zero_one was an album about looking inward, Rust is an album about
looking outward,” _says Haft. _“It’s an album about rebellion,
dystopia, and an angry optimism that we can create the future we
deserve.”_
Their unique position as both recording artists and influencers in the
gaming and ‘geekdom’ space gives them a significant cultural
footprint and history, with multiple RIAA-awarded songs, and even
charting at #4 on the Dance/Electronic chart with their track _FIVE
NIGHTS AT FREDDY’S_ [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l18A5BOTlzE],
used in the end credits of the recent Blumhouse/NBC Universal produced
film.
_“Our fans connect to us because they’re obsessed with lore and
story. So now we’re giving them a story that belongs entirely to
them,” _says Haft, who portrays the primary vocalist character
Rust onstage. _“I don’t think of us as The Living Tombstone - I
think of us as the two guys who write the story for The Living
Tombstone. The act has its own world and its own characters for people
to follow. It’s our job to continue to provide fans with an
interesting narrative.” _
TLT's manager, Octone Records co-founder David Boxenbaum, never
thought he would manage an act, but something surprised him when he
first encountered TLT. _“These guys disprove the rule, that you
can’t just put your music out there and expect people to find
it,”_ he says with a grin. _“These guys put it out there, and
millions of people found it._” And he’s right - they have - from
major movie studios like Universal Pictures, to A-Listers like Will
Smith and Jack Black. The LIVING TOMBSTONE HAS CARVED OUT ITS OWN
LITTLE CORNER OF THE GEEK CULTURE ZEITGEIST.
