SOUND

Hardcore punk is alive, and it is more powerful, loud, rhythmically devious, and acoustically monolithic than ever before – in any case, in the music of the Brazilian Deafkids: On their sensational debut Confi guração Do Lamento from 2016 they overlay aggressive, highly distorted guitars upon tribal beats and satiate the soundscape above with reverberating screams and endlessly entangling echoes. When it all amasses into a jaw-throbbing drone, they roughen it up with frantic volleys of blastbeats: furious, spiritual, breathtaking, virtuous music.
