Deadlock
have always been about extremes – and always will be! Fans love these Germans
for every emotional force run through the raging depths of death metal,
technical prowess, borderline pop-laden melodies, nods to classic metal, and
casual flirtation with trance and beats. As expected, their new album “Hybris” turns out to be a multi-faceted
monster in terms of both shape and content – and at the same time painfully
digs through the last events in the Deadlock camp. Despite
the tragic death of founder and drummer Tobias Graf (immortalized with a minute
of silence on the album) and the departure of singer Sabine Scherer (now
replaced by Margie Gerlitz), the megalomaniac creative urge could not be
suppressed.
2016 sees Deadlock rising from
the ashes, scarred, but heads held high. “Hybris”
finds its inseparable counterpart in a 90 min DVD documentary 'The Longest Road' that translates the
album concept to visuals. A gripping and blunt rollercoaster ride that sees
light in the blackest night – and that is something only Deadlock
can achieve! Today at The Sludgelord you can check out the premiere of their
first new song “Berserk” and John
Gahlert’s thought of this new track.
„Releasing our first new
song “Berserk“ is a dream come true for all of us, but at the same time the end
of a long journey, aswell as the starting point of our new path. Never before
has a DEADLOCK song
been so important for every single bandmember, never before did we invest so
much blood, sweat and tears for a video. “Berserk“ is the first official song
with Margie Gerlitz as our female vocalist and we’re very excited to see
whether our loyal supporters will feel the depth in her voice just as we do…“ John Gahlert (Vocals
