Sonic Death
Gritty, blown-out garage rock from the Russian underground. Fuzzed-out guitars and deadpan vocals for basement shows and restless city nights.

Sonic Death sounds like the beautiful, distorted mess of a St. Petersburg basement at 2 AM. It is music built on the bones of classic garage rock but stripped of any retro polish, replaced instead with a thick layer of Russian cynicism and lo-fi grit. The guitars are perpetually overdriven, creating a wall of fuzz that feels both claustrophobic and liberating, while the drums provide a relentless, primitive heartbeat.
What truly sets them apart is the vocal delivery of Arseniy Morozov. He navigates between a bored, slacker deadpan and a desperate, melodic urgency that captures the specific malaise of post-Soviet youth. There is a dark sense of humor buried under the noise, a 'home punk' aesthetic that feels deeply personal and fiercely independent, as if the songs were recorded in a single take before the neighbors called the police.
Start with 'Home Punk' to hear the band at their most foundational and raw. It is the perfect entry point for anyone who likes their rock music to sound like it was dragged through the dirt and then plugged into a failing amplifier. It is catchy, abrasive, and entirely authentic.
