TORTURE SQUAD - Esquadrao de Tortura

How is this? I love Torture Squad. I reviewed Pandemonium on my YouTube account last year. One of the best metal albums of the 21st century, easily.

Only spun it twice but it`s definitely a great album. Sounds a bit different with a new vocalist, bu it still sounds like Torture Squad :-)..
My favorite by them is Hellbound, too early to say how i will rank the new one, need to listen to it more.
You put me on to this great band in a swap comp many yers ago btw....

Mist - Mist (Demo)

Mine arrived the other day as well   

Yeah, thanks for pointing out that it was available on CD. Or CDR. Meh. It was cheap, so that's fine. Nothing worse than paying upwards of $20 and receiving a goddamn CDR.

It's also pretty difficult to get too angry with a bunch of Slovenian schoolgirls   

  

So what's the verdict (musicwise) here?

It's quite good, actually. The singer isn't amazing or anything, but I predict she'll get better. For free download (or whatever you want to pay) or about $7 for the CD, it's well worth it.

Agreed, I like that they are keeping the doom in there when it would be easier to go down the more current occult rock path. It's good enough to make me want to keep tabs on them. What's your opinion?

Still haven't picked it up!

Haven't given it a listen yet. To be honest having lived with Electric all these years I'm not sure how I'll feel about the earlier version. A lot of times those just don't sound right to me if I'm very familiar with the released version. Apparently it's more Love album sounding (which I'm a big fan of) so we shall see. I really only bought it since it was so cheap. I actually was holding out hope to someday find the Rare Cult box for a decent price. Figured this would tide me over till then.

My Little Funhouse was a great band. Crazy that they only did one album.

Bolt Thrower - The IV Crusade
