Album Notes & Community Reviews

The groundbreaking debut from the Antwerp-based collective, 'Worst Case Scenario' announced dEUS as a vital new force in European alternative music. The album is a chaotic and surreal collage of styles, violently shifting between dissonant noise rock, jazz-inflected interludes, and angular post-punk. Its wildly eclectic and unpredictable nature earned immediate critical acclaim and established the band's reputation for fearless experimentation.
