DEAF CLUB (San Diego)
Deaf Club is a savage sound bath dripping with sardonicism: a blastbeat-centric hardcore punk assault channeling crust, thrash, and grind (un)sensibilities. Succinct pauses, surreal frequencies and effects, breakneck pace and sharply hurled vocals characterize the band’s aesthetic, which seems as though it is rooted in a sort of nasty-sound-meets-highbrow-message ethos. Fueled by the onslaught of society’s insanity and driven mad by tinnitus, Justin Pearson (The Locust, Dead Cross, Planet B), Brian Amalfitano (ACxDC), Scott Osment (Glassing, Planet B), Jason Klein (Run With The Hunted, JR Slayer) approach music as a chance to confront our collective sicknesses.
LINTWORM (Hasselt)
Epileptic speeds and rancid vocals, this parasite brings an as noisy as possible variant of powerviolence. Be prepared for demonic animal noises, deafening feedback and everything naughty. Don't expect any attempt of nuance, this parasite quickly infects everything and everyone.
