Joseph H Dean has released his latest single, Beyond 17, a rocking and melodic track that marks a bold return to the music scene. As guitar music and rock experiences a resurgence in 2025, spurred by the passing of Ozzy Osbourne and the return of Oasis, Dean emerges with a sound that is both emotionally raw and musically powerful.
After losing his wife to cancer, Dean stepped away from music for years. But in the wake of that personal tragedy, he picked up his guitar once more and began recording again. The result is a collection of deeply personal rock anthems. Beyond 17 is his second new single release with more to follow, so watch this space.
This new single channels the essence of classic rock with thunderous drums, screeching guitar solos, thick driving riffs, and a vocal performance that shifts from deep and soulful to soaring and anthemic. It’s a track that pulses with emotion, blending heartfelt lyrics with a sinister edge and a long, blazing guitar solo that evokes the spirit of early Black Sabbath.
Beyond 17 is more than just a song. It is an anthem of resilience and a celebration of rock’s enduring spirit. It captures the pain of loss, the drive to carry on, and the power of music to heal. With its anthemic structure and powerful instrumentation, it feels like a classic rock track reborn for a new generation.
Joseph H Dean has confirmed that he has over an album’s worth of original material recorded before his wife’s illness returned. These songs have never been heard before, and he plans to release new tracks every few weeks. Beyond 17 is only the beginning.
Despite his rock influences and guitar heroes, Dean cites Lady Gaga as his favorite artist. He considers himself her biggest fan and is inspired by her fearless expression and artistry. His favorite tracks include “I Don’t Know What Love Is,” “Killah,” “Bad Romance,” and “Born This Way.”
Joseph H Dean’s return to music is more than a comeback. It is a powerful statement from an artist who has turned grief into creation, and who now stands ready to share his journey one song at a time.
