偏執症者 (PARANOID) – SOUTHERN LORD TO RELEASE SATYAGRAHA ALBUM BY SWEDISH HARDCORE PUNK BAND; NORTH AMERICAN TOUR DATES INCOMING
  Southern Lord are anticipating the release of 偏執症者 (PARANOID)’s 2015 album Satyagraha on CD format 10th June and LP format this July 1st. Comprised of ten biting and unremitting sonic assaults, Satyagraha offers up a diverse yet essential dose of D-beat. Finding itself on an array of end-of-year lists, and stealing the No.1 spot on CVLT Nation’s ‘Top Six D-Beat Releases of 2015’,  this album demanded the band’s full fury and whole souls. Therefore, you are implored to listen at maximum volume to ensure Satyagraha burns into your psychosis.

Satyagraha is the first full-length album by 偏執症者 (PARANOID), recorded in Empire Studio, Frösön, Sweden between the months of December 2014 and February 2015. Engineering and production duties came from Jocke D-takt, with the album mixed and mastered at Noise Room, Tokyo, Japan by Shigenori Kobayashi. The original release came from D-takt & Råpunk Records (EUR) and Konton Crasher (US), with cassette versions available from Sub//Par (CAD/US) and Lockyard Records (EUR). Guest musicians include Nils Landin (back-up vocals on “Kaihou”), Johan Landin (guitar solos on “Nangijala”) and Christian Augustin (digital noise). Artwork comes courtesy of Andrew Morgan (Viral Age Records) and Jocke D-takt, with Japanese translations provided by Motokazu Tsukuda.

偏執症者 (PARANOID) is a Swedish hardcore-raw-punk-metal band from Frösön/Östersund, formed in 2012. The foundation of 偏執症者 (PARANOID)’s savagery is in the Disclose-inspired noise blended with Venom-styled black metal, conjuring a destructive vortex of violently rotating northern winds of head banging chaos and pure D-beat fury. However, their adoration for Japanese hardcore is blindingly evident too. Stitched together, this intense sound combines the best traditions of Swedish råpunk and loud Japanese insanity.

The band’s output also includes the Demo Hardcore Addict (Distort the World – 2012), Destroy Future Less System (Konton Crasher; D-Takt & Råpunk Records – 2014), Punkdemonium Hell (self-released; Viral Age Recs – 2015) and their 2015 12” split with Absolut, Jawbreaking Mangel Devastation (Beach Impediment Records & Brain Solvent Propaganda; Phobia Records; Crucificados Pelo Sistema). In addition, 偏執症者 (PARANOID) recently concluded their UK tour with Split Veins and are heading to the West Coast US in a few weeks, tour dates below…
