MAGASIN 4 PRESENTS :
DAZZLING KILLMEN (US) (Math Rock / Post Hardcore)
Dazzling Killmen formed in the St. Louis area in 1990 and was composed of vocalist guitarist Nick Sakes and jazz students - drummer Blake Fleming and bassist Darin Gray. The group issued four singles, a live cassette and two full-lengths before officially ending in 1995, with a majority of it released through the independent label SKiN GRAFT Records. Tim Garrigan later joined the band after guesting on their "Medicine Me" single. The group would break up in the fall of 1995, prior to a planned tour of Japan with Jim O'Rourke, Melt-Banana, Space Streakings and Zeni Geva.
Sakes went on to play in the band Colossamite with future Deerhoof members Ed Rodriguez and John Dieterich. He is currently a member of the Minneapolis post hardcore trio Upright Forms, who released their debut LP “Blurred Wires” last year. Fleming was the founding drummer of Laddio Bolocko and then The Mars Volta. He recently performed with Jagels in the band Shatter on Impact, as heard on SKiN GRAFT’s “Sounds To Make You Shudder!” Halloween compilation.
Taking influence from hardcore punk and jazz music, Dazzling Killmen has been noted by critics and peers as having influenced the genres that came to be known as math rock and post-metal. The band’s final album “Face of Collapse” was reissued in a deluxe, expanded edition in 2016 and again in 2022 in by SKiN GRAFT Records.
MORD (FR) (Noise Rock)
PORD distills a powerful, raw and wild Noise. Their music evolves between complex structures and hypnotic loops, evoking major influences of the genre such as UNSANE, DAZZLING KILLMEN, BREACH or the French band TANTRUM.
It's rock'n'roll under tension, fierce, carried by fast tempos and a raspy and wildly offbeat voice, with raw and direct lyrics. After years of more irregular shows and tours (including the Colonie des Crevards in 2019), PORD gets "back to business" in 2024 to celebrate the Pakebot's 20th anniversary. In 2026 PORD hits the road again for a few "anniversary" shows celebrating 20 years as a trio with the historic line-up. The trio incorporates a few new tracks in the middle of the set.
HAMERS (BE) (Noise Rock)
HAMERS is a noiserock band driven by volume, tension and controlled chaos. Blending raw aggression with heavy, pounding grooves, their sound is sharp-edged and uncompromising. Known for their intense and unpredictable live shows, the band thrives where control and derailment collide. A new EP, Jazz Tigers, is set for release in fall 2026.
