Deafkids + Petbrick - Deafbrick

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 Säo 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 élan. 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.
