Brain Tourniquet Unleash Fearsome New Concept Album Sinking Deeper Into Madness
My wife got back from work just now, walked into my office, and asked, " What are you listening to?" When I told her, she was like, " Brain Tourniquet? Well, A for effort on the name." She's right. That name rules. Even if you don't like th abrasive music that Brain Tourniquet make, you have to respect what they bring to the game. The post Brain Tourniquet Unleash Fearsome New Concept Album…
My wife inquired about the music I was listening to when I shared it was Brain Tourniquet. She found the band name impressive, despite my preference for their abrasive sound. Brain Tourniquet, DC's powerviolence champions, consistently introduce novel and disturbing elements to the extreme music scene. Their 2023 release, An Expression In Pain, featured a 20-minute album with an 11-minute track, which I covered in a hardcore column detailing their performance at a now-defunct warehouse venue.
Today, Brain Tourniquet is releasing Sinking Deeper Into Madness, a concept album. The album explores a protagonist's decision to undergo a lobotomy after a manic episode, delving into joy, fear, regret, and finally, a complete mental disintegration. The album concludes with a six-minute cover of The Beatles’ Tomorrow Never Knows.
