OVERVIEW:

All tracks recorded in Torino on 14/05/92, except those marked with * which were recorded in Asti on 12/04/92. This tape shows an embryonic version of CB’s sonic identity, made up of raw, catchy, superfast blurr-Grind. Guitars and drums were tracked at Dracma Records’ practice rooms using Alberto’s grandma’s cassette-deck, while vocals were added at home, filtered through guitar pedals and recorded with a 2-track.

Strongly influenced by early Patareni (especially the split with Atta), “Dark Season” became a cult favorite in the underground Noisecore/Grind circuit.
