Known for their crushing blend of hardcore, math rock, and metalcore, Dial delivered a visceral sound characterised by obscenely heavy guitars, bludgeoning percussion and Williams\u2019 intense vocals. Their music leaned into thick, repetitive rhythms and minimalist yet powerful riffs, creating a robotic, screamo-infused metal onslaught.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;autoclose&quot;: false, &quot;accordionItems&quot;: [] }\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/accordion\" role=\"group\" class=\"wp-block-accordion is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-is-layout-flow\">\n<div data-wp-class--is-open=\"state.isOpen\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;id&quot;: &quot;accordion-item-1&quot;, &quot;openByDefault&quot;: false }\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.initAccordionItems\" data-wp-on-window--hashchange=\"callbacks.hashChange\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-item is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-item-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading has-icon has-icon-right\"><button aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-item-1-panel\" data-wp-bind--aria-expanded=\"state.isOpen\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.toggle\" id=\"accordion-item-1\" type=\"button\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle\"><span class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle-title\">Read more<\/span><span class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">+<\/span><\/button><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div aria-labelledby=\"accordion-item-1\" data-wp-bind--hidden=\"state.isHidden\" data-wp-on--beforematch=\"actions.handleBeforeMatch\" id=\"accordion-item-1-panel\" role=\"region\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-panel is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-panel-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Dial embarked on a national tour with <strong>Guest Stabs Host<\/strong> in September 2006 and played at the 10th anniversary Wellington <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/upthepunks.co.nz\/2006\/10\/punkfest-2006\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"13507\">Punkfest<\/a><\/strong> the following month.

That July, with Chamberlain (also of tech-grindcore band <strong>Akaname<\/strong>) as engineer, Dial recorded a five-song demo, which caught the attention of US label <strong>Robotic Empire<\/strong>. The demo was released on CD and digitally in 2009, but by then the band had parted ways with Cam Reid and Chamberlain, who relocated to Melbourne with <strong>Akaname<\/strong> leading to Dial disbanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Years later Backhouse and Reid formed the band <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/upthepunks.co.nz\/2023\/02\/society\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"10031\">Society<\/a><\/strong> (2013) which further explored minimalist, disonant noise.
