“Dial »N« For Noize” is the latest full-length release by Deafness By Noise, a longstanding Croatian hardcore band from Samobor. This particular material serves as a proper continuation of “A Long Way Down,” their previous album released via Strength Records. The thing with Deafness By Noise is that they age like a fine vine. They sound more eclectic, energetic, heavier, and powerful as the years pass by, and if you compare “Dial »N« For Noize” with their self-titled debut, you’ll realize these folks had quite a journey. Of course, the band thought about the visual appearance, and the striking illustration of a gorilla wearing typical hardcore apparel will blow you away. The band always thinks outside of the box when it comes to visual identity, so that’s the case with this material as well. The high-quality, hefty gatefold carries all the things you need to know about “Dial »N« For Noize.” From the lyric sheet and all the possible and impossible info about the band and the record label to the hilarious bandmembers’ head-in-the-jar photos, you actually get a full package deal where you have a chance to get to know what Deafness By Noise are all about.
