Tinnitus - Checkmate

from Sociopathic Mixtape, Vol. 5 by Various Artists

/

about

⋘Straight from TINNITUS' vinyl 7" EP "Gehenna", originally released by the band on September 5, 2011 (later picked up by TO LIVE A LIE RECORDS, who made it publicly available on April 20, 2012), we bring you the track "Checkmate", a blistering, monstrous, relentless and brutal fastcore/powerviolence/grind/hardcore song that will undoubtedly stick in your head with its memorable & catchy riffs for days on end.

The 11-track EP can be downloaded through TINNITUS' bandcamp site at "Name Your Own Price", or for those who don't care as much about "complete" albums, follow the link at the bottom of the page to reach the TO LIVE A LIE RECORDS bandcamp page, where you can also grab the EP at "Name Your Own Price" (but it is noteworthy to mention that the band offer the album with 11 tracks whereas the label only has 10 of them; there's no clear explanation for the reasoning behind this discrepancy).

Original Release Notes Are As Follows:

Recorded and Mixed @ Dead Air Studios June 2011
Mastered @ The Echoroom July 2011⋙

Boston area powerviolence and hardcore has been on the upswing the last few years. Tinnitus are involved in that surge of SPAZZ and DESPISE YOU worshiping powerviolence that is tinged with the ever-present hardcore that you could only find in the Boston area.

"the torturer, wielding an extremely sharp knife, began by putting out the eyes, rendering the condemned incapable of seeing the remainder of the torture and, presumably, adding considerably to the psychological terror of the procedure. Successive rather minor cuts chopped off ears, nose, tongue, fingers, toes and genitals before proceeding to grosser cuts that removed large portions of flesh from more sizable parts, e.g., thighs and shoulders. The entire process was said to last three days, and to total 3,600 cuts."

Tinnitus comes from Worcester, Massachusetts where Dead Air Studios is based, they actually recorded their new record at Dead Air. These 5 guys manage to create faster and killer tunes in the veins of Vaccine, Low Threat Profile, Weekend Nachos or even Infest, i really think this band deserves much more than 77 likes at facebook…really underrated!. If you like the bands mentioned above and fucking blast beats, angry vocals and loud tunes…get into this!.

The group recently put out their newest album, simply entitled "VOLUME II" on May 2, 2013 through Bandcamp. Much like the "Gehenna" 7" EP, the new record is available for fans at "Name Your Own Price", though this one features 8-all new tracks from the powerviolence outfit, sure to make your head explode, or at least murder the person next to you in their pit!!!
