SARIN ATTACK
Sarin Attack is a Finnish grind core band that was founded in Vaasa in the beginning of 2017 by three members from two local death metal bands Ligature Wound and Pimeydentuoja. They all felt that they wanted to start a new band to be able to build further on their common interest towards the scandinavian old school death metal sound, but to musically go in for a more simplified approach in their musical expression. And the common interest for playing grindcore mixed with a death metal sound was soon settled to be the musical base for a new band. The name Sarin Attack was picked to describe the way the music was supposed to sound. Like an inhumane slow and agonising death in the wake of a blistering explosion of a chemical weapon assault that leaves it is victims lying on the ground in tremendous pain, not knowing what hit them. The music was aimed to work as intense audial assaults of pure and ruthless violence in the form of short and brutal bursts of angry grindcore with some occasional crust and hardcore-style bits to leave some brief passages for the listener to catch some breath. The band’s debut album Dystopia, consisting of 21 ferociously violent grindcore songs, was recorded during the year 2017 and was successively released in 2020 by More Hate Productions once they offered to release the album. Once the album was released the band was put on a bit of a hiatus for a while with the Covid-19 outbreak, which practically meant for most of the underground metal bands to have very few or often no possibilities to play live. At the same time there was a bit of lineup changes as well after losing their guitar player. But the band decided to move on and re-activated reformed as a trio with the vocalist Sami taking over even the guitar responsibilities. New songs were made and recordings for the second album begun in the summer 2022 with drum recording sessions and the rest of the recordings and mixing and mastering were done during the next year, 2023. The rest of the recordings were made in early 2023 and the album was mixed and mastered towards the end of the year. An agreement was again made with More Hate Records to release the second album Perikato. In 2026 the album was finally released, after several unfortunate delays with the artwork among other things. But it all has been worth the wait as Sarin Attack is now back sounding more violent and raw than ever, and at the same time presenting some more refined musical ideas but still not compromising on the brutality.
