East Lansing, Michigan's DED ENGINE, who throughout their career were constantly blighted by comparisons to better known British Metal bands, were founded in 1980. Featured would be ex-RAZER bassist Marky DeSade (a.k.a. Mark Alan Sliker). DED ENGINE's recording debut had come in 1983 with the issue of a $300 demo cassette entitled 'Limited Edition E.P.' Later that year DED ENGINE re-recorded the track 'Renegade' for inclusion on the British compilation album 'It's Unheard Of' album, issued through Sane Records. This same recording was included on the 1984 'Two Bad' 7" single, a limited edition of 1000 copies from Genocide Records. A second demo, 'Till Deaf Do Us Part', arrived in 1985.
The band recorded a batch of five more tracks and compiled these with earlier material to create the 'Ded Engine' album. Initially this would be released in cassette format via Dutch East India Trading of New York. Subsequently, Black Dragon Records in France and SPV Steamhammer in Germany licensed the album, now retitled "Hot Shot",  for vinyl release across Europe whilst Maze Records took the record on for Canada.
1988 saw DED ENGINE offering a second album entitled 'Hold A Grudge', appropriately enough through the American independent company Grudge Records. With DED ENGINE's demise, Marky DeSade relocated to New York, joining SMASHED GLADYS. DeSade passed away in March 1994.
