Since the mid 90’s NDE has been one of the most respected Metal/Hardcore bands in the Cleveland region. The band first began building its loyal fan base with their first full length “Falling”. The title track received tremendous airplay on regional and smaller college stations in the area and was voted 13th most requested song of the year on V-Rock (largest heavy station at the time) with their competition being Pantera, Korn and Slayer. Subsequent to their first release were the “Pain EP” and “Fix” CDs. The band continued to grow in popularity and eventually contracted with a London based label, Rage of Achilles Records. Shortly after the release of Fix, NDE teamed up with another regional powerhouse Mushroomhead, and began playing larger and larger shows. 5000 CDs later and countless thousands of the seven compilations on which the band appears, NDE was signed to Crash Music and hit the studios once again with recording engineer Bill Korecky of Mars Recording Studio. End Of Trust, the band's new album not only features NDE’s patented bone crushing grooves but Robert Reinard, the bands vocalist, has really began taking his singing to the next level. With the band coming of age and its past experience to build upon, NDE is ready to take its name to the next level and intends on entering the national market at any cost.

In another account, from a proactive Dutch NDE study [1], a nurse removed the dentures of an unconscious heart attack victim, and was asked by him after his recovery to return them (van Lommel et.al, 2001).
Core NDE experiencers, in particular, tend to be convinced of the reality of the experience as an intimation of the afterlife.
The similarities amongst the experiences of the many documented cases of NDE may be understood to signify that the pathology of the brain during the dying and reviving process is more or less the same in all humans, as suggested by Russian specialist Dr. Vladimir Negovsky (Pravda, 2004).
