“Sweden’s D-Beat monsters 偏執症者 (Paranoid) are back with a new 7”. On “Tatari”, the band presents two new killing tracks. A-Side ‘戦禍 (Senka)’ begins with a hymnic Heavy Metal intro before 偏執症者 (Paranoid) go full throttle to leave nothing behind but ashes and rubble. B-Side ‘砂時計 (Sunadokei)’ keeps up with the pace no problem, and in total, the band shows what their strengths are: merciless riff attacks, bassladen productions, and sonic violence.
Listening recommendation: pedal to the metal, volume up”

We fully understand if there are confusions around the vinyl 7″ edition of the TATARI EP (PND16-EP). So we’ll try to sort it out and explain everything once and for all.
On May 7, 2021, we released our fourth album “CURSED“. Due to the countless setbacks and delays that occurred during the process and the release of the previous album “OUT RAISING HELL“, we made the decision that we would try out something completely different with the next release. A new approach to challenge ourselves but mainly to keep it simple, by using as few middlemen and involved as possible in order to reduce any problems that may arise. Cut down on all the hassle in short. Get the final master one day and then release the album just the day after. This is the simplified background to why “Cursed” was only released digitally and not on vinyl.
The first 250 who purchased “Cursed” via our Bandcamp got “Tatari” included as a free bonus. Which we also stated on our website and in our social media. We had a document with 250 blank lines that we filled in with names and email addresses in turn as someone downloaded the album. On June 11, that list was full and all vinyl 7″ was gone. This edition is limited to 250 hand-numbered copies on black vinyl and is not for sale. At the end of October we approved the test presses and last Friday we finally got the record. The pressing plant recommended us to order extra copies as they couldn’t guarantee an edition of exactly 250 as we required cause it can differ by 10% up or down. Therefore, we have a box with a bunch of leftover records, in addition to the 250, which we haven’t yet really decided what to do with.
Both the album and the EP are taken from the same recording session and you’ll also find them both via most streaming services.
Recorded in Studio Mangel, Frösön/Sweden, April-May 2021. Produced and engineered by Jocke D-takt. The drums were recorded by Johan Arveli at Studio 306. Mixed and mastered by Kenko at Communichoas Media Clay Station. Cover artwork by Bharata Danu. Many thanks to Toda for the help and contact with the pressing plant.
Everyone who’s entitled to a 7″ can expect a delivery soon because all packages are already packed and shipped.

Fragile Mountain Punk Festival in Gothenburg, Sweden, June 30 – July 2. Confirmed and official!

Ok, let’s see, 2021… didn’t manage to make our return to the live stage this year either. That makes it +2 years now since the last time around, and counting. We can at least confirm that we have agreed to a smaller tour and a festival gig for next year. But as the situation is now, it feels uncertain, but we keep our fingers crossed.
Otherwise, our fourth album “Cursed” was recorded and released. Super stoked to see what a warm reception it got, highly appreciated as always. We still have no news on the bonus 7″, but we hope that it will come in January. Everyone who bought the album digitally will be the first to know. The good news is that we actually started a new recording that we hope to be able to complete next year.
For the near future, 2022 marks our tenth year-anniversary as a band, which we plan to celebrate in high fashion. With that said, we have a lot going on, but with the risk of being disappointed, we dare not hope for too much just yet.
Finally, we just want to say a big thank you for all your support!
