The partnership between Earache and Codebreaker Records has thus far yielded some quite interesting results, and the latest spawn of this unholy alliance can be found in Deadbird's 'The Head And The Heart', a lo-fi approach to growling doom and disharmonic abrasiveness.

From the low end, distorted rumblings of 'Sadness Distilled' to the drugged-out darkness of 'Rorschach Sky', Deadbird deliver a grimy bucket of distortion that will be the perfect material for listeners to bathe their imaginative consciousness in. The group offers up a little bit of everything, from beautiful, dreamlike acoustic passages to full on bass powered thunder. '1332' offers the acoustic element, making for a nice break in between the aural hammering, and is it fades into the fuzzy, stoned sounds of 'Illuminate The Decay', listeners will realize that DeadBird is capable of pulling off almost anything.

Call them doom, stoner, metal, or whatever else you'd like, they're heavy as fuck and if 'The Head And The Heart' is any indication, Deadbird have both the firepower as well as the originality to destroy listener's eardrums for quite some time.

A planned collaboration between Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi and Judas Priest vocalist Rob Halford never got off the ground despite being reported in the press.
