Bio: Deafening Sky was formed in the end of 1999! Our first demo was recorded six months later and was called “It’s just the beginning”! Even if the sound was really bad we had some good feedbacks! Our music style was not yet very original but we tried to do our best to find as quickly as possible our own style! We were really influenced by bands like Course of Action, Wise up, Once Never Again… After our first demo we begin to play a more metallic music thanks to bands like Caliban, Heaven Shall Burn and even Cradle of Filth!! Now we can say that we have found our own style which can be defined as a powerful emo metal core with a technical touch! After one year and a half our drummer decides to leave the band! We find a new one who played his first gig after with Heaven Shall Burn and Length of Time! It was time for us to record a new demo because our style was too different than what we did before! In March 2002 “Another useless day…” was born and a new era begun for us! We played many cool shows thanks to this demo with bands like Caliban, Course of Action, Death Before Disco, Broken Promises, Negate, Fall Silent, Reply, Born From Pain…
Last year we recorded our first "real" cd at the "De studio". Its called "maybe the end"...Now we're looking for tons of shows...and we're ready to rock your city!!
Famous bands we've played with: Course of Action, Broken Promises, Fall Silent, Born From Pain, Heaven Shall Burn, Caliban, Arkangel, J'N, Negate, Reply, Death Before Disco, Zaccharia, xDeadlockx, xMaroonx, the Arrs, Morda, Severance, Congress, Burn Hollywood Burn...
Reviews:
"Metalcore from Belgium, one of THE countries of the late 90ies when speaking about this style, has become a more rare thing. Deafening Sky are out to change this status with their debut effort after 6 years of existence and several line up changes. Basically, this is nothing new, but the mix is still something that has it’s charme. A highly screaming singer adds that emo-element to the metallic musical surrounding that shines with some nice metal riffing, solos, blast parts, accoustics & piano, female sung vocals and more – you see, this is quite deep into metal and not your average „hardcore band is flirting with some metal“. This has some real melodic metal as well as trash in it. While the musicianship is already above average (nice dynamic drums and cool metal guitars), the songwriting may be a little bit too unspectacular. Some songs just lack some structure and highlights to remember within their mostly close to 5-minutes duration. You can easily lose track in that. Furthermore, I missed a 2nd guitar track here and there when the first guitar is doing solo-stuff. Therefore, I wasn’t overwhelmed by this CD, but you can see that this band can grow and join the premier league of European metalcore one day. " http://www.poisonfree.com
"Behind a façade of typical European metalcore (think Caliban and Heaven Shall Burn), there’s a multitalented group of youngsters. Their ideas are so intense and of such a grand posture the production just can’t catch it all. A song like “Time to Save” is just too good for these recordings. That’s to only tiny downside to “Maybe the End”. Sort of like a beautiful cathedral with one broken window. Even classical music seems to have touched the band, as their melodies are worked out to that same extend some metal bands like Cradle of Filth and bands like Sadist and Therion tend to do. Piano and fragile female vocals lift this Belgian band to that classical level even more. To my knowledge this is the bands first cd after a couple of demos, but I am already amazed by the effort they have put into it." http://www.insideknowledge.net
"Never heard of them before but they blew my mind away when they played at Tally’s Place in Massmechelen together with Dead end Love and Eviscerate AD. They are from Louvain-La-Neuve, somewhere in Wallonia (a Belgian band of course, how self-evident, hehe). I just had to meet them and ask for the demo. I was lucky, it was the last one! The demo is as underground as possible, all DIY, and contains four songs of the best emo-metalcore I’ve heard in a long time. The music can be described as a clean hardcore version of Dead Blue Sky, it lies somewhere in the vein of Once Never Again, and has got some great emo parts in it with high-skilled guitar leads! About the vocals, I can’t place them at all because the singer really seems to try the best he can to come up with an original sound that lies somewhere between hardcore and metal. Just try to catch these guys live or book them for one of your own shows, you won’t regret it!!!" (review of our demo called "another useless day" from xcrywolfzinex)
"Deafening Sky is a Belgian melodic metalcoreband that rose out the ashes at the end of 1999 in the South of Belgium; La Wallonie. After a few months they already recorded a demo that spotted some realy good critics. After their demo they changed their style in more technical emotional metalcore. You could compare them with bands as Heaven Shall Burn and Caliban but with a lot of more emotional whispring and singing.
"Maybe The End" is a 7 tracked album, actualy a 5 tracked if you don't consider the in and outro as a track. First of all I was very surprised by the style these guys play. Normaly if you check out bands from the South you only hear beatdown or metalcore, well these guys are somewhere between but with a lot of more emo in their tracks. They are also very technical and sometimes the technical parts could remind you on Cradle of Filth (well that's what they claiming themselves). To be honnest its not realy my cup of tea but I can appreciate it. A last word for the dude that did the amazing artwork" http://www.hardcoremusic.be
"Emotional metalcore with a technical touch sounds like a complicated style, but when you hear Deafening Sky it doesn’t sound that complex at all. It’s just like the description says: metalcore with technical death metal riffs and tempo changes combined with emo parts. This five piece from Belgium did the right thing when they decided to visit De Studio in Asse for these recordings, because they sound great. The style of the band sounds interesting, but the performance is not convincing enough yet. The songs don’t grab me by the throat although the guitars sound very good. It’s still a pretty good effort, so fans of metalcore that find the description I gave earlier interesting should check out " http://www.asice.net
