ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Deadweight from Stuttgart (Germany) are loud, uncompromising, and unstoppable. With an explosive mix of various metal genres and the driving groove of hardcore, they steamroll over everything that stands in their way. Emerging from the Stuttgart hardcore scene in late 2023, they immediately showed with their debut album "Desolace" where they’re headed—forward, onto the stage, and right into the chaos. Raw, intense, riff-focused. Hardcore fueled metal. With their newest single "Out of Mana" the boys from Deadweight drop an absolute banger that constantly shifts between technical riffing at breakneck speed and catchy hooks. With “Out of Mana”, Deadweight prove once again that they have a knack for multi-layered songwriting and hooks that keep you awake at night. Lyrically, Deadweight moves in their usual dark vibes, while the song title deliberately winks at the guys' passion for RPGs and tabletop games such as World of Warcraft, Skyrim, and Dungeons & Dragons. Best regards from your nerdy riff lords: "Out of Mana".
INTERVIEW:
1. “What moment made you realize you wanted to take music seriously?”
To be honest - the first time each of us heard the first riff. For me (Kusi) it was Enter Sandman by Metallica. Since that day I just wanted to play guitar every damn time.
2. “Say, your music blew up tomorrow, what’s the first thing you’d do?”
Play more shows! Maybe overseas in the United States ;)
3. “What’s a song you’ve made that means the most to you—and why?”
Definitely "Out Of Mana". It basically came out of nowhere and took just 4 hours to write and ultimately became one of our most loved songs.
4. “What emotion or mindset do you want people to feel when they hear your music?”
The wonderful thing about music is that it evokes emotions in everyone. If our music evokes emotions in others, then we’ve done our job.
5. “What separates you from every other artist in your lane right now?”
We're not "modern metalcore" - you know? We're pretty riff focused and don't use any backing tracks while playing live. Some say thats out of time, but for us it means freedom and lots of fun.
BONUS. “Say someone just became a fan of you—what 1 song should they listen to first and why?”
Slap "Out Of Mana" all day long!
