Brazil’s sonic insurgents Deaf Kids have never been interested in fitting neatly into metal, punk, noise, or experimental music. Instead, the trio continues to dismantle genre boundaries with a fearless blend of crushing percussion, electronics, global musical traditions, and uncompromising political commentary.
We caught up with drummer and multi-instrumentalist Marian Sarine to discuss the band’s latest album, its critique of technology, capitalism, colonialism, and the future, as well as the gear behind its immersive soundscapes. From Robert Anton Wilson’s “reality tunnels” to Afro-Brazilian rhythms and cyber-enhanced divinities, Marian offers an in-depth look at one of Deaf Kids’ most ambitious releases to date.
The new album is described as a visceral diagnosis of a world intoxicated by its own fictions of power. What specific social, political, or cultural dynamics inspired that concept, and how did you translate those ideas into sound?
Well, Mariano, thank you so much for your time. Do you have any final thoughts you’d like to share with everyone watching, listening, and reading?
First of all, thank you for the opportunity, and thanks to everyone who’s checking this out. Scars of the Future is available now on LP, CD, and digital formats through Neurot Recordings. You can also visit our Bandcamp, deafkidspunkx.bandcamp.com, where you’ll find everything else we’ve created. Keep it fresh. Listen to as much music as possible, especially music that’s outside your usual spectrum. The idea is always to give people what they need rather than what they already want. What’s truly new is never anticipated. The new imposes itself on reality.To create something new, we need to blend influences and let them coalesce. Thanks a lot.
With Scars Of The Future, Deafkids continue proving that they’re one of the most adventurous and uncompromising bands operating today. Mariano Sarini’s reflections reveal a group driven not by genre labels, but by ideas—melding ancestral rhythms with cutting-edge electronics to confront technology, colonialism, and the fractured realities of modern life. It’s an album that challenges listeners intellectually while remaining intensely physical, inviting both reflection and movement. If Deafkids have their way, the future may leave scars—but it can also inspire entirely new ways of hearing the world.
