We get into the making of the EP, how the collaboration came together, and why the UK’s heavy scene is evolving fast. We talk about the Leeds roots of the band, the return of dubstep, the crossover between electronic music and metal, and the artists who shaped their sound. The guys break down tracks like Bang On, Famous Style, Aftershock, Big Man, Frequency and more, plus we look at their upcoming live dates including Dive Festival, Bristol, Brighton, London, 2000 Trees, Burn It Down and more. We also chat about the new wave of British heavy bands — Seething Akira, Blackgold, Profiler, Wrex, Pulveriser and others — and how Deadwax fit into this rising movement. A great conversation with a band pushing boundaries and bringing something new to the UK heavy scene. Deadwax – NUK EP out May 15th.
