Sold outDouble LP, 180g black vinyl, tip-on gatefold sleeve, printed inner-sleeves, remastered by James Plotkin. To celebrate the ten-year anniversary of ‘Dead Magick’, Fuzz Club Records are announcing a vinyl reissue of the debut album from Icelandic psychedelic art-rock project Dead Skeletons.Visit product page →
In the decade since it was originally released on 11/11/11 via Anton Newcombe’s A Recordings label, ‘Dead Magick’ has come to be seen as one of this generation’s definitive works of neo-psychedelia and had an almost cult-like reverence attached to it. Tours around the UK, EU and USA, major international festival dates and critical acclaim soon followed the album’s release, and it also helped to catalyse a burgeoning underground psych scene to whom ‘Dead Magick’s occult sonic belligerence became a crucial and highly-lauded touchstone.
A twelve-track masterclass in “transportative far-out guitar hymnals” (as described by The Quietus’ Luke Turner), the ‘Dead Magick’ double album was an exercise in spiritual rock’n’roll drones shaped by primitive fuzzed-out guitars, repetitive vocal mantras, distorted organs and crashing percussion.
Inspired by bandleader Jón Sæmundur Auðarson’s own diagnosis with HIV, the driving philosophy behind Dead Skeletons (and the wider ‘DEAD’ concept that Jón, aka Nonni Dead, has been exploring since 2003) is defined by the ‘He who fears death cannot enjoy life’ chant heard on the album’s declarative opening track, ‘Dead Mantra’.
The underground hit was the first song released by Dead Skeletons – comprising Jón, Henrik Björnsonn (Singapore Sling), Ryan Carlson and Aislinn Van Kriedt (Asteroid #4) – and laid out the band’s intentions from the off: to use music as a means to inspire people to celebrate and cherish life unshackled from fears and anxieties over their mortality.
“I created the DEAD concept in 2003 as an idea to use art as a therapy to overcome the fear of death and to enjoy life to the fullest. I had been dealing with the HIV virus since 1994 and wanted to use my art skills to explore this idea further and spread positive messages to help other people in the same position as myself”, the Reykjavik-based artist recalls.
The 2021 reissue on Fuzz Club Records comes on 180g black vinyl in a tip-on printed gatefold sleeve with printed inner-sleeves and remastered audio courtesy of James Plotkin.

Available on double 180 gram White vinyl. The ethos of London-based indie label Fuzz Club is a desire to uncover and celebrate the best in fuzz, reverb and drone from every corner of the globe. As well as via their extensive back-catalogue and their Fuzz Club Eindhoven festival, one such particular medium through which they do this is their annual Reverb Conspiracy compilation albums.Visit product page →
Where the first five volumes were hailed as a Nuggets-like documentation of the European psych scene, Reverb Conspiracy Vol 6 - due for release [date] - sees the compilation go global: bringing together bands from South Africa, Australia, the USA, Germany, Brazil, the UK, Italy and Russia.
Amongst a number of the label's own bands - including Medicine Boy's shadowy noise-pop (DE) and Nest Egg's motorik 'mood music for nihilists' (US), plus Steeple Remove's dub-inflected post-punk (FR) and Crimen's heady, repetitive psych-rock (IT) - there is Aussie garage-psych outfit Nice Biscuit, an exclusive cut of Bikini Kill-meets-Oh Sees noise from Julia Robert (SA), as well as lo-fi garage-pop from Super Paradise (UK) and the double-barreled psych-blues wig-outs of Frankie & The Witch Fingers (US).
In the compilations darker moments, though, there is the hypnotically face-melting 'space-surf' of Japanese Television (UK), goth-tinged post-punk from Float (UK), murky psychedelic stoner-rock from Brazil's Firefriend, relentlessly driving krautrock courtesy of Verstärker (USA), the heavy space-rock drones of Psychic Lemon (UK) and Moscow's Selbram, who deal in a jagged alt-rock sound that takes its cues from No Wave, psych and the 'pulse and noise' of city life.
Tracklisting:
1. Julia Robert - Mud Girl
2. Nice Biscuit - Out Of Sight
3. Frankie And The Witch Fingers - Underneath You
4. Medicine Boy - Water Girl

The band's ninth album, Montage Images of Lust And Fear, will be released on March 29th 2019 via Fuzz Club.Visit product page →
Limited to 1000 copies. Available on 180-gram coloured vinyl.
It's undoubtedly their most sincere work in an extensive, decade-long discography with which they've picked up a cult following across the globe - made evident in their millions of YouTube streams and relentless international touring.
In support of the new album, and keeping to their prodigious work ethic, the band have also announced details of a mammoth tour across the UK, Europe, Asia and Australia that'll see them visit 25 different countries. In its rawest moments (The Death of the Author', Blind II'), The Underground Youth's haunting post-punk melancholia recalls the abrasive banshee-like noise of The Birthday Party and Suicide; jagged, shrieking guitars twist and turn as Craig Dyer's dour vocals jerk from morose and impassioned to macabre screams.
Though this is an album of two sides; the more intense and challenging songs punctuated by heartfelt and solemn ballads (Too Innocent To Be True', This Anaesthetised World') that are aided by the additional lap steel guitar of Kristof Hahn (Swans) who plays on six of the album's nine songs.
This is The Underground Youth's most intense and honest record yet - in the ambitious songwriting and live recording (a first for the band), as well as the lyrical subject matter. Talking about the album, Craig explains 'Montage Images of Lust And Fear is inspired by the succession of experiences we are increasingly dealt by the media. Sex, violence, love, suspicion, desire, distress, etc.
The album acts as a montage itself, the subject of each song dealing with an aspect of either lust or fear. Like flicking through the channels on a television. Until the end you are overcome by white noise. Static.' Since the release of their aptly-titled eighth full-length, What Kind Of Dystopian Hellhole Is This?
In February 2017, the band have set out on four UK/European tours clocking in at over 100 shows (not including stand-alone gigs). If all that time touring has taught the band anything, it's how to work together as a collective and Montage Images Of Lust And Fear is all the better for it - the first The Underground Youth record with all the band members involved in the writing.
'Unlike previous albums in which I've written the tracks and taken them into the studio to record with or without the band, this record is the product of us all working on the music and arranging the songs together,'
Craig explains: 'We recorded the album live with the four of us playing in the same small room and with our guitarist Leo as producer, running back and forth from the mixing desk to the live room. As a result, the recording perfectly captures the raw intensity of our live performance, something we've never done before.'
The Underground Youth is comprised of Craig Dyer (vocals/guitar), Olya Dyer (percussion), Max James (bass) and Leo Kaage (guitar).
