About
Liquid Death is a beverage company that weaponized heavy-metal branding to disrupt the bottled water and sparkling beverage category. Founded in 2019 by Mike Cessario, the brand sells mountain water, sparkling water, and flavored iced teas in recyclable aluminum cans under the mantra "Murder Your Thirst." The company's irreverent marketing — featuring death metal imagery, skull logos, and viral shock-humor campaigns — has attracted a fiercely loyal Gen Z and millennial consumer base and placed Liquid Death in major retailers including Whole Foods, Target, Walmart, and 7-Eleven as well as every major sports and entertainment venue.
