DEAFBRICK

* Sao Paulo lysergic punk-damage meet London synth soundscapes?* Discharge cover!?* No export to the UK / Europe / Australia ?As one traverses through new and intimidating terrain unfamiliar a short while ago, two collaborators have come together to unwittingly create a record curiously suited to an intimidating and unpredictable new era. Deafbrick, the collaboration between Sao Paulo's sonic warriors Deafkids and London's pulverising duo Petbrick is a vertiable force against adversity, and less a polite meeting of minds than a fiery collision whose impact and incandescence extend beyond the horizon. ?The results run the gamut through a litany of uniformly invigorating audial landscaps-this is an arena where Deafkids' appetite for lysergic punk-damaged tumult and Petbrick's ventures into dystopian synth-driven soundscapes can happily engage in gladiatorial contest. From the unearthly percussive clangour of Hyperkinetic Mass Disordert to the DHR-addled chaos of the paint-stripping Mega Ritual, every second of Deafbrick is infused with malevolent charisma and iconoclastic elan. ?Yet perhaps the ultimate destructive moment of this particular demolition derby comes via a thrillingly monomaniacal take on Discharge's 'Free Speech For The Dumb. Not that it necessarily met the approval of Discharge themselves, who make a cameo appearance on the song's outro. I asked them to record some quotes saying how much they hated our version laughs Iggor. One of them even said that Metallica did a better job. That really freaked me out!?Metallica, it's fair to say objectively, do not do a better job.? ?1. Primeval I?2. Forca Bruta?3. Sweat-Drenched Wreck?4. The Menace of the Dark Polar Night?5.
