Notes
Intrepid, a death metal band from Tallinn, Estonia, released the EP Slaying of Sanity/Murder of Mind on January 5, 2023 via Knife Fight Media. The five-track release features two original studio tracks, a cover of “Lifestyle” by Estonian band Aggressor, a short instrumental, and a live recording. Lineup on the EP: Raiko Rajalaane (vocals), Simo Atso (guitar), Villem Eplik (guitar, vocals), Siim Soodla (bass), and Madis Kaljurand (drums). Guest bass on “Mesmerism” by Steve Di Giorgio.
Produced by the band. Drums and bass recorded by Kristo Kotkas at Sinusoid Studios (May 2021); guitars and vocals by Karl-Eric Alert at Audiomaja (November 2021); additional guitars by Simo Atso at Linnahall (May 2022). Mixed by Margus Traumann (May–September 2022); mastered by Minerva Pappi (October 2022). Artwork, design and layout by Fengarm. The material draws from late-1980s/early-1990s American death metal (Death, Morbid Angel, Monstrosity) with tight, mid-tempo riffing, technical leads, and a dry, aggressive production emphasizing clarity in the low end and guitar tone.
