YOUR LIES IN CHECK

(introductive statement)

Blood on a draughtboard, your king about to collapse under my furious fist... Too many years left as food for indifference, children grown with humilations and brutalization therapies, already men destined to vent reactions on themseves. Structures and structures... burn eyes - bar hopes. Waste products... they self-destruct, as if to avenge for the emptiness inside. Yesterday I was a surrogate, not a man. A surrogate lost in the labyrinth of too many institutions. An absorbed echo, not a voice. I've learnt to watch you, to go through compulsions. I've learnt to eat your shit... to calculate your moves. I've learnt to sit on the other side of the table, to exhaust your resources. Yesterday I was a pawn... I was a pawn in a game, a slave in a factory, a cross in a cemetery, a fix in a vein, a minor role in your play. Yesterday a pawn in a game. Today a butcher, and a winner... finally pleased - eyes on my blade disfiguring your smile wiping out corruption, injustices, oppressive hierarchies. Scanning your lies I found insecurities. Scanning your lies I recognized my condition. Scanning your lies I attacked your weak spots. Scanning your lies I got your defeat.

ADDITIONAL QUOTES:
with no shadow of doubt a milestone in italian Grind/Hardcore and an important release also if seen from an international view. Over 5000 copies sold if you sum up the LP + CD + MC versions around, and more to come in the future. A proof of this album's notoriety in the scene is the many successful shows all around Europe and tracks like "Italia di merda", "Prospettive limitate" + "Stimmung" becoming hymns, expecially in countries like Czech Republic. And 90% of the songs covered on "Falafel Grind" (tribute to CB) are taken from this. "Your lies in check" was the perfect link between CB's extreme Grindcore experience and the strong influence coming from '80s italian Punk/Hardcore. 69 tracks that left a trace in the scene. This was a sort of "dream to come true" for GTB and Alberto the Crippler... and it was backed by an enormous strain. The drummer Michele Hoffman was about to leave the band so it wasn't that easy to get him for rehearsing. The bass-player Eduardo (from Mina Gerais, Brasil) was working non-stop in Torino and had no time for coming to Asti. The 5 months prior the beginning of the recordings saw GTB and ATC sharing their free time between Torino - teaching the songs to Eduardo (which didn't know any of them yet), and Asti - revising the drum parts with Michele. It would take too much to explain how this worked out but it looked like a Rocky getting trained for an impossible match story, sometimes we were about to give up since it looked almost impossible to keep all parts together. Michele and Eduardo met themselves 3-4 times in life, just to let you understand how this worked. By the way, E.U.'91 did the CD version - coming with a 16 page booklet. The CD sold over 3000 copies and it's going to be re-released by CAH Records/USA. The gatefold LP version came out on Ecocentric Records, while the MC was done by a Polish label. A must, backed by passion and faith.
