Deviated Instinct: Performing Group in New York

About Deviated Instinct

Deviated Instinct is an English extreme metal group that emerged in Norwich in the mid-1980s, later resurfacing after a long hiatus. Their work sits at the intersection of grindcore, hardcore punk, and sludge, with an early reputation tied to the rise of crust punk and the harsher edges of death metal. In New York City, they’ve appeared at TV Eye, sharing bills with bands like Savage Pleasure and Comrades. The approach favors abrasion and momentum over studio polish.
