Mike “MikeDC” McTernan
Head of A&R
Mike McTernan is best known as the ferocious voice behind Damnation A.D., the Washington, DC-based band that expertly straddled the line between hardcore and metal. Growing up just minutes from the original Dischord Records house, McTernan was immersed in the region’s punk and hardcore scene from an early age. By 12, McTernan identified as straight edge, seeking to distance himself from the culture of substance use among his peers. His musical journey began in earnest in 1992 when he co-founded Damnation A.D. with guitarist Ken Olden.
The band quickly gained traction, releasing their debut album, No More Dreams of Happy Endings, on Jade Tree Records in 1995 before moving to Revelation Records for their seminal Kingdom of Lost Souls in 1998. McTernan’s raw, unrelenting vocal delivery became a defining characteristic of the band’s sound, earning them a devoted following in the hardcore and metal underground.
After Damnation A.D. disbanded in 1998, McTernan took a hiatus to focus on his mental health before resurfacing in the mid-2000s with When Tigers Fight, a project featuring members of The Promise, Death by Stereo, and Adamantium. The collaboration rekindled his passion for music, leading to a Damnation A.D. reunion in 2007. Whether fronting a pioneering metallic hardcore band or exploring creative projects outside of music, McTernan’s influence endures as a powerful force in the underground music scene.
