Norwegian technical metal quartet\u00a0INSENSE,<\/strong>\u00a0today drop the third and final track from their new\u00a0\u00a0EP\u00a0\u201cThe Soothing Torture B-Sides\u201d,\u00a0<\/strong>out tomorrow\u00a0April 8th via\u00a0Mas-Kina Records.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Titled\u00a0“Modern Day Siren”<\/strong>, this new track is now playing at\u00a0The Progspace <\/strong>here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new EP features left-over material from their classic 2006 album \u201cThe Soothing Torture\u201d, <\/strong>and although these three songs did not make the final mix, they were strong enough to be rescued from oblivion and presented to their fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are also tracks which bristle and resonate with the barbarous and chaotic intensity of an Insense<\/strong> live show, \u201cSpawn of the Wicked\u201d<\/strong> revelling in its brutality and \u201cAddicted to the Void\u201d<\/strong> relishing the same senses and energy ravening aggression. With \u201cModern Day Siren\u201d<\/strong> casting its own particular toxic assault with the band\u2019s ravenous and skilled dexterity, the EP epitomises the band\u2019s ear gripping and corroding prowess then and indeed now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emerging over two decades ago, Insense has grown and evolved their sound with creative hunger but an ability to ignite the senses whilst turning them inside out has been an ever-present fertility they have fuelled their invention since day one. A potent reminder of that quality comes within the Norwegian\u2019s new release, \u201cThe Soothing Torture B-Sides\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is fair to say that the release of sophomore album \u201cThe Soothing Torture\u201d in 2002 pretty much marked the moment that the band fully uncaged an inherent ferocity and extreme metal exploration in their technically agile and melodically compelling sound. It saw the birth and seeding of a reputation and voracious proposition which has increasingly drawn major plaudits across subsequent releases as it found fresher and greater invention culminating in their fifth and critically acclaimed 2014 album, \u201cDe:Evolution\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From their early days Insense were given comparisons to the likes of Machine Head, Dillinger Escape Plan, and Meshuggah but simultaneously stamped down their voracious individuality amid their predacious sound. \u201cThe Soothing Torture\u201d cemented that distinctiveness and prowess. At the time of its creation though there were tracks which seemingly did not fit the body and character of the extremely well-received release, songs which appeared at the time to be lacking something. Though cast aside, over time they have refused to be denied, nagging beasts demanding the band\u2019s attention, each lying in wait to prove their worth and again pull upon the Oslo quartet\u2019s imagination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
