Australia’s Death & Roll Duo Tensiion are ready to release their new EP Subterfuge independently on April 3th. The band will also unleash the song Dead Weight.
Guitarist Phill Corpe gives us some context around the song: “Dead Weight was a fun track to write, we took a different approach to the timing & vocal placement on this one. It’s definitely got a bit of everything in there that we dig in tune. It also stands out lyrically to the other tracks on the EP, leaning more towards obscure, psychologically disturbing subject matter.”
2020 was a year to forget, but also gave the opportunity to create. Locked down, with the world perpetually collapsing with no end in sight can also be the perfect breeding ground for extreme music.
Tensiion used this time to smash out a new 5-track reflection of the past year, channeling the darker side of humanity with their new EP, Subterfuge. Influences vary greatly. If you asked them to name their top ten in each genre, it may paint a picture of their taste in music, but still wouldn’t be an accurate guide to what constitutes the Tensiion sound.
Phill Corpe and Travis McLeod make up the Brisbane/Gold Coast based death & roll duo, Tensiion. 2 piece metal bands are few and far between, although its still twice as many members as what Phill is used to. His background lies in electronic music, producing under his other guises, resistor, and co-producing in UK outfit, robosapiens.
