Dead Neanderthals is an avant-garde duo known for their intense and often improvisational approach to music, merging elements of free jazz, drone, noise, and even grindcore into an uncompromisingly abrasive and experimental sound. Comprised of René Aquarius on drums and Otto Kokke on saxophone, the outfit emerged from the Netherlands' underground scene with a mission to push the envelope of musical extremity and innovation. Their immersive soundscapes are characterized by relentless sonic assaults and a disregard for conventional structure, evoking a primal yet otherworldly atmosphere.

The duo's prolific output is a testament to their relentless pursuit of boundary-pushing music. Releases like "Specters" and "Ghosts" show the spectral and ethereal side of their art, while albums such as "Metal" and "Womb of God" exhibit a heavier, more unyielding edge. "Corporeal Flux" represents their ability to infuse visceral energy into musical form, whereas "Click" and "IXXO" display an intricate amalgamation of textures and rhythms. Dead Neanderthals' work, including the visceral EPs "Rat Licker" and "Blood Rite" as well as "Cosmic Slime," stands as a testament to their status as unbridled sonic explorers in the realm of extreme music. With each release, they cement their reputation as artists unafraid to confront the listener with a raw, intense, and often confrontational auditory experience.
