Drawing from the legacy of punk and the DIY spirit, Death Disco emerges as an unrelenting sonic force. The duo, composed of Samuel Kerridge and Maxim “Panda” Barron, delivers with Death Notes a debut collaborative work that transcends conventional musical boundaries.

Kerridge’s raw intensity, paired with Barron’s pulsating rhythms, forges an uncompromising and powerful sonic journey.

This chemistry is no accident — Barron had already laid down his guitar bass on two tracks from Kerridge’s Kick to Kill (2022). But here, it reaches another level, almost alchemical. The visceral authenticity that emanates from these eight compositions carves out a unique space in the realm of dark and immersive musical experiences.

Death Notes plunges us into a dizzying maelstrom where punk, industrial, and noise collide with controlled violence. The specters of Coil and Godflesh would haunt every corner of this sonic architecture—a lineage made even more significant by the mastering of Justin Broadrick himself (Godflesh, Jesu), who has stamped his seal onto this incandescent work.
