We had Green, Red and Gold, but now we have a full line-up, with even an extra vocalist! And the extra vocals really do add some interesting layers to No Kings Allowed’s music! We loved their previous album, but the stuff they’re putting out for their new release is next level! Check out Garden of Eden on Spotify, and of course, a matching video on Youtube as well!
None Shall Fall is back! This band has been active for over 14 years, and have only released tracks very, very sparsely. Three years ago, they released the track ‘Trapped Inside’, but now, after some hard work, they are finally releasing an EP later this year! Lie of Omission is the first track of the EP, and we were lucky enough to be able to assist in making their video. The footage was taken from the 12,5th anniversary in Patronaat, and shot by various people. Check out the video for Lie Of Omission, or check out the track on Spotify!
Phoenix Ashes was already back in action with their previous single ‘Oceans’, but with Defiance, this band can’t be ignored any longer. Catchy, heavy, hardcore/metalcore vibes. What I really like about this track, compared to other recent hardcore tracks; Phoenix Ashes has a lot more melodies. It’s even a bit progressive … Go check it out! There’s a video as well!

Wednesday the 14th of August, Musicon welcomed German thrash metal band Exumer to the stage. Exumer brought along some friends, to complete the thrash metal-filled night. We were of course excited to see Headless Hunter on that bill. Seth was there to take some pictures. Check out her photography skills below.

We are a threepiece band born from the farms, fields and shit that makes up the eastern part of the Netherlands. Our bandname means ‘Hammerhead Shark’ in Dutch. We met through music and played in different bands together on and off since we were teenagers. We pound out heavy 90’s influenced hardcore and metal as done by bands like All Out War, Obituary and Iron Age. Members of Hamerhaai also play/ have played in bands like Massive Assault and Gascoigne, are involved in the label Crash Landing Records and put up shows in our hometown.

Deafened to Death is a hardcore band from Friesland, and started out as a side project during Covid from members of the band Kletus. Their debut album Deafened To Death was released on June 21st, so it was time for a review.
Deafened to Death is again a band that’s hard to find online. So far we’ve only learned that the band started out during Covid, and that some of their members are part of Kletus, but that’s about it. Luckily, we’ll be having an interview with these guys soon, so more on that later. Let’s just dive into their debut album.
Deafened to Death starts off with the short intro track Make Do. Short seems to be the theme of the release; it’s hardcore, so we didn’t expect tracks of more than 3 minutes. But there’s only one track over 3 minutes, the rest of the tracks is around the 2-minute mark. Hence we see 12 tracks on this album, with a playtime of just 22 minutes. Make Do is basically a bit of noise, a long intro with some guitar squeals and a scream, to ease us into the first real track, Deafened To Death.
The album kicks off with a fast-paced riff, although it quickly turns into a more groovy vibe. And before you’re really in the groove, the track has shifted to the next one. This is the type of album that you just need to listen to in one go; there are no real tracks. It’s just one, long, track with different riffs and themes. It all flows together.
And with an almost seamless transition, we go on with Poison. The fast-paced riffs we first heard in Deafened To Death return with The Surface. The Surface is also on one of the few tracks has an ending to it. A bit of thrash and deathmetal influences seem to seep through in the tracks, with I Will Hunt You Down and Brother as examples. I Wil Hunt You Down starts with some samples, to add another layer to the track. It also feels more like a deathmetal track due to the vocals.
That trend continues with Brother, in both riffs as well as vocals. That makes it my favorite song on the EP. Oh, and it’s squeal central, for the guitar lovers among us. And speaking of guitar lovers: Dogma has a short but fast guitar solo right at the start, and Wise As Serpents, Innocent As Doves has some more if you’re looking for some technical parts.
Wise As Serpents, Innocent As Doves mightalso be the most groovy headbangable track on the album. This track features some guitar solos and breakdowns, and heavy headbang riffs. But DTD is a very diverse band, so Domesticate turns in a different direction with more of a punk vibe.
Put To Rest might be the heaviest track on the album. It’s also taking us back to more of a death metal vibe again. Hardcore bands usually have a very clear message, and Put To Rest is one of those tracks with a clear message. And with that, we’re already at the final track of the album: All That I Am. This track is probably a good summary of the album, with interesting riffs, fast-paced moshy parts, headbang riffs, and of course, lyrics with a message to scream along to.
Deafened to Death is a short, but packed-with-energy introduction to Deafened To Death. I can only imagine what a live show of these guys would be like. My only comment, but I guess that’s the same with most hardcore bands, is that the tracks are a little short. All That I Am is probably my favorite track, so if you really can’t spare 22 minutes to listen to the full thing, just listen to that.
You can find Deafened to Death on Instagram.
