Crazed and shattering D-beat chaos from a Swedish band who seem to be having an identity crisis and thinking they’re Japanese. Paranoid (or 偏執症者, if you prefer) play some maniacal stuff that merges the blitzkrieg punk of Discharge, Anti-Cimex et al with lashings of primitive metal and ultra-distorted noise. Beneath the howls, brain-razing static and wildly flailing solos are actual, honest-to-god songs, meaning this one’ll not just have you destroying everything in your path but humming a merry tune while you do so. Amazing!
