The Brazilian duo DEAFKIDS returns with a vital and combustive new album, CICATRIZES DO FUTURO (SCARS OF THE FUTURE). This nine-track sonic assault forges a path beyond the conventions and boundaries of static musical genres. Here, electronic fury and feverish organic percussion collide with a relentless Latin American punk spirit. CICATRIZES DO FUTURO is the band's first non-collaborative full length since 2019's Metaprogramação, and will be available on LP, CD and Digital formats via Neurot Recordings on 29th May 2026.
Imbued with a frantic Afro-Latin pulse, lead single "CICATRIZES" (SCARS) is available to listen to today and features a dirty, danceable and sweat-soaked intersection between raw punk and clave-led Afro-Cuban music, with a futuristic approach and bloodshot eyes. Heavy pulsating 808 bass drums hit hard as a characteristic D-beat foundation for Sarine's ultrafast percussion played in the Guaguancó rhythm, driving a relentless Acid-House bassline and fuzzed walls of guitar riffs while processed vocals screams in absolute madness.

KOMBI is the solo project of João Kombi (TEST), launched in 2024, moving through drone, noise and experimental music in intense, physical and deeply immersive performances. In its short time of existence, the project has already become one of the most active names in the contemporary Brazilian experimental scene.
After a first European tour in 2024, KOMBI released the album Alimento a Dor in 2025 on 12” vinyl. The record was selected by journalist Andy Cumming, from Sounds and Colors, as one of the standout releases of the year. The album consolidated the project’s aesthetic, marked by dense textures, layers of noise, the exploration of extreme timbres and a visceral approach to performance.
