A Brazilian band with a well-marked trail across Portugal, DEAFKIDS return to OUT.FEST following their overwhelming 2019 appearance. Now operating as the duo of Douglas Leal and Marian Sarine, they continue to blow apart the conventions of metal, hardcore punk, and the more expansive edges of rock in a transdimensional passage through abyssal riffs, polyrhythms and headbang-inducing martial beats, voices flung into the infinite, and shards of post-industrial electronics that sit perfectly within Barreiro’s histories and horizons. A blistering return, arriving in the wake of the recent release of “Cicatrizes do Futuro” – a title sharply attuned to the present moment – on Neurot Recordings.
