Dethscalator started in 2008
Since then we have released a record on Riot Season/Black Labs, and have appeared on compilations on Riot Season and Seed Records.
We have played on bills with the likes of Swans, Pissed Jeans, Acid Mothers Temple, Fucked Up, Part Chimp, Whitehouse, Qui and Zu in the UK and in Europe. Festival appearances include the ZXZW festival in the Netherlands, Hokaben festival, and the Supersonic festival in 2010.

Here’s some things people have said:
“..they are pretty smoking live. Their shows have been described as like “watching a bunch of idiots making too much noise to notice that there is an angry wounded grizzly stuck in a bear trap only a few feet away from them”. NME Top Ten UK Noise Bands Dec 2010
“Lumbering, zombie-like grooves sway with a howling swagger all of their own, their closeted, wrangled guitar noise is wrestled to the ground by the mortal yelps of their commandingly incoherent vocalist. Less an album than a bracing fumigation of the senses, it’s also a highly auspicious start for this dark new venture.” ROCK-A-ROLLA Issue 23 Nov/Dec 2009
“mean bastard Dethscalators move in for the sadistic twisted kil and the picking of your bones – all slow and in their own trapped feedback-drenched time. Putridly good and all gone wrong at the end of the dream” THE ORGAN
“bursts of cyclical riffage, that sound almost looped, occasionally lifting off into some serious space rock territory, before falling back into another stretch of woozy metallic noise rock, culminating in the weird brooding noise rock slowjam that ends the record, murky and washed out and gloomy, weirdly melodic and super dark and creepy. Rad rad rad.” AQUARIUS RECORDS
“With riffs the size of London itself…Hollering singer Dan Chandler paces on a trajectory only he can visualise, a bear with a shaven, sore head…. they wield a memorable mid-Atlantic scrap played out halfway between Birmingham and Texas.” PLAN B issue 40 Dec 2008
