3BY3 presents Dead Fader, who boast beats heavy as hell, abrasive high-end sonics and fully-wonked bass rhythms, mangled into two phat-ass productions with the most seismic grooves imaginable. "Autumn Rot" sinks its teeth into your arm, refusing to let go. "No Thief" features the sickest drop and reload in ages, and if you don't think so too, we'll come round and smash up your house, all while blasting this 12".

Title:	Corrupt My Examiner
Label:	3BY3 (UK)
Format:	CD
Price:	$14.50
Catalog #:	3BY3 005CD

This is the debut full-length release by Dead Fader. If the sound-destroyin' processes of Cloaks aren't enough of that type o' violent (adopt Clay Davis tone) "shiieeeett" for your sick head, 3BY3 come correct again, and drop this unrelenting abomination of a record. On first impression, it's hardly a production sound you'd associate with the backdrop of Dead Fader's home base, Brighton. This sounds more like it was born out of some grim industrial slum on lockdown, all pent-up anger and a serious need to party hard; 2-step garage from a Hair Police state. Dead Fader's hybrid of distorto-death grooves, limited-to-hell wonky-not-wonky productions, sound like Distance playing though Slayer's back line -- bit-crushed by inhuman hands, 2-step gets rammed face-first through analog chains, that speakers (and ears) simply weren't designed to handle. Like Sunn O))) say, "Maximum volume yields maximum results" -- apply this to Dead Fader and you're likely to have your neighbors ASBOing your righteous ass all the way to the seaside. It's not all sour-faced noise ethics, either. There's enough playfulness in the low-end and cheeky industro-funk mischief going on throughout Corrupt My Examiner to keep it from becoming "metal kids discover 2-Pac and create Franken-Durst." Oh yeah, check out the rewind on "No Thief" for a serious bit of DJ tackle! An unrelenting sound, (over)loaded with hooks, Corrupt My Examiner is an example of new forms emerging in heavy, beat-driven music. The identifiable stems of Dead Fader's influences are pretty evident while at the same time totally obliterated by their fresh approach. It's a balance of production, chops and attitude that define the style. Dead Fader are that band you leave your kid alone with for five minutes, to discover the child has put the CD on, and for some reason decided to set fire to their bedroom.
