Description
New crushing single from our favorite Swedish metal-punks!
Our take: Tatari originally appeared as a companion piece to Paranoids 2021 digital-only album Cursed, pressed as a gift for people who bought the digital version of the album through Bandcamp. That version sold out quickly, and Im glad Paranoid has seen fit to make a small repress thats more widely available. While neither of Tataris two tracks appear on Cursed, stylistically these songs are of a piece with that album. Less frenetic than Paranoids noisy earlier work, these tracks ride heavy, locked-in d-beat grooves a la later-period Anti-Cimex, with hoarse yet snotty vocals that make me think of Venom (but without the goofy / cartoonish element). Paranoid are pros, so its unsurprising that the songs are dynamic, Senka cresting with a melodic lead guitar riff that evokes the wind whipping through an isolated fjord. Paranoid has always released some of their best songs on EPs, none of which stick around too long, so grab a copy of Tatari while you still can.
