Deaf Proof Post Video for “Death Sounds Angry and Hungry for More”
Heavy psych rocking German trio Deaf Proof released their latest outing, Blood Red Sky Sessions (review here), earlier this year as a limited tape and will reportedly have it out on vinyl in the first part of 2016, but for their new video, “Death Sounds Angry and Hungry for More,” they dip back to their 2014 debut EP, Death Sounds Angry (review here). Why? Well, there are probably two reasons. Primarily, Blood Red Sky Sessions was more geared toward inviting listeners into the band’s songwriting process — to a degree — and getting a sense of how their material takes shape out of expansive, multi-faceted jams like the 34-minute “Far Beyond the Blood Red Sky,” which, though it had lyrics, was nonetheless instrumentally focused around the chemistry between guitarist/vocalist J. Fredo, bassist JP and drummer Pedro. As it turned out, that was plenty enough to carry it through.
Second, the choice was probably pretty easy for Deaf Proof because “Death Sounds Angry and Hungry for More,” at 6:39, is the shortest song they’ve put out since their second demo, Beyond the Orange Door, in 2013. I bet when you’re narrowing it down to one track or another for a video and your options are under seven minutes or over half an hour, you start to look back and think, maybe, yeah, we can use a song from the last release. And it’s not like the year between has lessened the charm or fuzzy rumble of “Death Sounds Angry and Hungry for More,” the video for which the band notes is a precursor to new material, presumably to be issued in 2016.
That’ll be one to keep an eye out for, and in the interim, the clip emphasizes the low-end rumble at the heart of Deaf Proof‘s grooving. You’ll see what I mean when you watch.

Deaf Proof, “Death Sounds Angry and Hungry for More” official video
It’s been nearly a decade, since Deaf Proof touched the chord for the first time. During these years they released a couple of demos,the LP “Death Sounds Angry”, the “Blood Red Rky Sessions” tape/ vinyl and played lots of club shows and rocked together with influential bands.
To sweeten the time of waiting for their next output, Herr Potz/ Trashpop(t)ERROR (creative director/ video editor) and the band produced a music clip for “Death Sounds Angry and Hungry for More”, title track of the 2014 output! Enjoy this Christmas present!
DEAF PROOF’s sound can probably best be described as psychedelic stoner rock that creates a very specific and unique atmosphere. The band, which is from Freiburg/Germany, has made a handful of changes concerning their line-up ever since they were founded in 2006. They now consist of J. Fredo (lead vocals/guitar), JP (bass) and Pedro (drums). Since 2013, the band has released multiple highly acclaimed demos, of which “Beyond the Orange Door Demos” (2013) received special attention.
It soon became obvious that DEAF PROOF were aiming much higher than swirling up desert sand and coming up with catchy riffs for their songs. “DEATH SOUNDS ANGRY” (2014 on cd, 2015 on vinyl via KrautedMindRecords) made clear that the band has now reached new heights. “Blood Red Sky Sessions” (limited red tape, vinyl 2016 on KrautedMind) from 2015 is like a documentation of a songwriting and jamming process, which is delivering the listener some kind of a live experience and an inside view. Three different jam sessions take the listener on a psychedelic stoner rock trip in a fuzzy spaceship.
