Oh my God, torture is coming!

We have a preliminary date for the recording of the drums now… Late July, week 30. Tobben just talked to Mats of Senseless Recordings (who recorded the drums for the last 2 TD demos) and it seems this will be the week when we start the next trilogy. We are so looking forward to nailing these 3 new tracks and hand it out for free to you guys. Trust us, the world’s best death metal just got even better.

This is what we are up to!

We are currently rehearsing the stuff on separate locations. Tobben just got the tunes with click track, guitars and bass to practice to and J is writing lyrics (all the titles for the tunes are set) to complete those fantastic songs. All this is becoz we are working on a date to record the drums now. As mentioned before we’ll try to get this done in mid July. After that it’ll take some month or 2 before we have managed to put down the guitars, bass and vocals. Also, Swanö is swamped with work and won’t be able to mix anything before August – so we are in no rush. It’s not likely this next trilogy will be completed in 2009, but that matters not. A trilogy it will be and we’ll try to finalize it as soon as fucken possible.

Hang in there, people. The world’s best death metal is about to strike upon the earth again.

New demo recording starts in July!

Words from The Lord:

“We can now inform you that we plan to record the drums for this first demo in the second trilogy in the middle of July. It turns out that me and Tobben’s got vacation at the same time so we might be able to squeeze a meeting into our busy schedules, and while we are getting pissdrunk and having a laugh we might as well record the drums.

Ace.”

As we mentioned in the post below…

Hoodies will be made!

But not at this point in time. We have the design and everything ready and thought we could as well show it to you. We will start taking orders for this one sometime in July so start saving up some cash coz they will be around 500 SEK each and of Fruit of the Loom quality, which is ace.

Quite a bunch of you guys wanted one some time ago so hopefully the interest will be fair enough for us to go thru with this. With some luck we might even be able to get some of our old designs back in stock as well.

But as mentioned, we are not doing this right now coz I have too much stuff to do as it is and need to clear all those things first, so look for this in a month or so. We’ll keep you updated in this topic and will hand out all necessary information as soon as we are rolling out this bastard project.

Remember that buying merch from us helps us financing our recordings so we can hand out music to you fuckers free of charge as well as print new merch.

The design:

Naturally the arm print will only be made once on the arms and not twice like you might get the illusion of with these pics considering it shows on both the front and back print. And ofcourse we decided to go with a simple yet fucken effective design this time around. The trilogy’s name and our logo.

Bad-fucken-ass.

All songs completed for new demo!

Wow, that went fast. 3 new songs are now a 100% completed musicwise for the next demo, the first in trilogy number 2. We will try our best to get this thing recorded during the summer and have Dan Swanö mix it in August or something (you know, the guy’s a fucken busy mofo) like that. J will now start working on lyrics and whatnot which is something we are looking forward to hear. The whole concept for the next trilogy is already thought out and we will continue to write songs whenever we have the time, but now it’s time to start practicing these 3 so masterblaster Tobben can put down his wonderful grind’n'roll for the songs so we can move forward and get this fucker recorded. And yes, as we have stated before; the world’s best death metal will always be available for free here at this site. Don’t forget to buy the CD from Abyss Records anyways, the little money we get from the sales go straight into recording our shit. Also, keep an eye on our forums and this site… There might be some new merch coming yer way… Can you say zipped hoodies?

You want the best? You got the best.

Whatever.

LP won’t see the light of day!

Unfortunately there won’t be an LP version of the demo collection due to extremely poor pre-bookings, and the label can’t risk to lose alot of money on this deal – which we completely understand. What’s even cooler though is that we now have an LP in test-pressing format of 4 copies, and that’s all the copies there are.

We love to do limited shit.

Stay tuned for the next demo and follow what’s going on with The Torture over at our forums, hosted by Global Domination.

All three songs for next demo completed!

Some words from K:

“Went up at 5 this morning and picked up the guitar and the bass, ready to record some fucken insane death metal. And whaddya know – the third tune is fucken completed and is also sent over to J and T for consideration and eventual changes. I’m happy like a muthafucker with this one as it turned out completely ace with tons of Behemoth, Morbid Angel and Slayer influences. Holy shit, this fourth demo will be something else. Now I need to arrange J’s tune and record proper guitars for it so Tobben can hear that one as well. Can’t believe how fucken fast these 3 songs came about, I think I started writing like last week or something and now all three are completed – damn… It sure helps that J sends over killer riff after killer riff every second day, haha…

Now it’s time for J to start writing lyrics and learn the songs (over phone and by ear as always) so we can start thinking about when to record this shit.

This is absolutely a fucken great day.”

We ask you to buy the CD from Abyss Records!

Guys, make sure to buy this fucken CD from Abyss Records coz we have decided to give whatever we get in royalties from the sales to Statik Majik (webmaster, artwork creator and everything else you can come up with) and Guger (t-shirt designs and so forth) for all the tremendous work they have done for us since the start. Fuck knows none of them make money off of us so it’s time to fucken give something back to them for all their fantastic work they do for us.

Thanx to everyone who bought it so far, obviously it has made us superstars (what else is new?):

TD success

So, order the damn album from Abyss, dammit. (that is a link)

Songwriting update!

J just created a muthafucken excellent first sketch of a new track that we will continue to work on asap. Now shit is really going forward. The third tune is already in the process as well and you guys can look forward to yet another fantastic recording when the time comes. 2 songs down, one to go…

And the song writing has started for real!

The first tune for demo 4 is soon completed, which feels great. We have no idea when all the material for the 4th demo (the first in trilogy 2) will be ready for recording but we are aiming on as fast as possible coz it’s been a while since we launched our x-mas single and whatnot now, and we are dying to get something new out there. But now you know that we are at full writing scale and in some time we will deliver the world’s best death metal to you again. In the meantime, order the CD that Abyss Records released earlier this year. And no, we won’t remove the songs from this site – everything we record will be available for free as planned from the beginning. That goes for our demos in the future as well, no matter if they get released on a disc or not. We are sad to say that we have no gigs planned for the summer, but if that changes you’ll be the first to know. Guess you guys have to e-mail all the festivals and ask them if they are retarded since they haven’t booked the world’s best death metal band, huh? Something like that.

Stay tuned for updates.
