Dethscalator are from Stoke Newington in London and formed in the deep winter of 2007 after Stu, Matthew and Ben were kicked out of the cast of Cats the musical. After months of scouring personal ads Ben came across Dan's profile. His interest in Black Sabbath and ZZ Top piqued his interest, not to mention his hot, hot physique. Dan joined the band from his previous band Hunting Lodge as singer and Percy soon followed, possibly tempted by greed, because everyone knows noise-rock bands make lots and lots of cash. Fast forward six months and DETHSCALATOR are renowned throughout London masters of tempo. They have songs ranging from 88 bpm all the way up to 93 bpm. This has landed them on bills with the likes of Whitehouse, Pissed Jeans, Acid Mothers Temple and Clockcleaner. Comparisons with the likes of early Sabbath or Electric Wizard are not quite correct. DETHSCALATOR deliver heavy dinosaur balls but with the spastic inflection of bands like Scratch Acid, Butthole Surfers or US Maple. You should definitely go to their concerts and buy ALL their merchandise.
