SD17

“SD17 is the rebirth of a dream once thought dead.” From Albuquerque, NM, SD17 is a metal project built on real musicianship and relentless creative control. Founded and led by guitarist and songwriter Tim Haverman, SD17 blends melody, atmosphere, and precision into something unmistakably alive. Born from silence and rediscovery, SD17 represents what happens when passion refuses to fade. Each track is written, composed, and produced by its founder, with a team of musicians helping bring that vision to life on stage. SD17 isn’t a traditional band — it’s a movement of rebirth, resilience, and sound. Whether through thunderous riffs or cinematic calm, SD17 turns raw experience into modern metal that breathes with emotion and purpose.
