Dan Swanö to mix demo 2!
For some reason, our good old friend Dan Swanö (he’s been in a band or 2 during the years and someone said he had a studio as well) will be mixing our forthcoming 2nd demo. You want the title? Sure, you can have that. It will be called “We bring upon thee” and will hold three tracks of eternal torture (also known as “fantastic death metal”). Maybe you want to know about the titles as well? We guess we could hand those out too. In no particular order, the tunes are called “Invoking The Knifer“, “We bring upon thee” and last off, “Terroreyes“. Originally we had planned to have Markus at www.metallfabriken.se mix this one too as he did with the first one, but when Mr. Swanö offered to take a break in his busy schedule and help us with a favor, who are we to fucken argue? We thank Dan for this. Oh yeah, we fucken do. And with this we strike him off the list of people and stuff we need to torture before the end of next week. Lucky Dan.
Vocalist/bassist Jörgen Sandström is about to enter the studio in Stockholm in the coming weeks to put down the final stuff needed (which naturally would be vocals and bass) so hopefully we’ll be able to ship this death metal extravaganza to Swanö shortly so he can make our unlistenable and shitty files listenable for you fuckers. Oh, you wanna see the cover for the next demo as well? Forget about it, you have to wait for that a little longer though we actually have it right here in front of us. But we need to have something for the next news post as well, you know.
Besides this, we also have some more cool news for ya, but as mentioned before we will wait with those until it’s officially cleared.
We bring upon thee an army of three. And a second demo. Hang in there, your much needed death metal fix is coming soon to a autopsy room near you.

3 more days to order the new shirt!
Yep, and after that you are fucked. Safe to say, this will be one extremely limited edition of shirts so if you are missing out on it.. well, then you suck and shit. This is the topic to use to order the shirt. Just so you know, you who are doing this actually help us with financing the coming demo. Hang in here, in a little bit you’ll get some more fantastic news from your fave death metal band.

Fuck yeah, fuck yeah, fuck yeah!
Damn, we didn’t think we would be able to tell you this shit so soon, but here we go. We just signed a 7 album deal with Downloading Is Beautiful Records. Actually, we didn’t. We don’t like record labels and we sure as fuck don’t feel like recording an album at the moment either. But what we actually are in the process of doing is recording our second demo. We know, we know… We have been silent about it. Busy torturing stuff you know, no time for the internet if you do that as a profession. We are sure you fuckers understand. So, here’s the lowdown on all things Torture Division at the moment.
Grindmaster Flesh, aka Golden Spider, aka Tobben Gustafsson recorded his parts for the second demo a few days ago in Karlstad, Sweden. This time we even rented a studio to be able to do things a little bit easier this time around. Instead of 6 channels for the drums we now used 15. Yeah, we know, sounds kinda much for a band like us considering we want to do things low-budget (as in “free”) but the studio was cheap and Tobben didn’t need many minutes to put down his parts. Just so you know, you, the people who actually supported us by buying our latest shirt (go to the forum to order yours, you have until Friday actually) contributed to us being able to rent this studio for the drums. We thank you, and to prove we are kinda thankful, we will ofcourse give you this second, fantastic demo for free as well, as soon as it’s completed.
But hey, that’s not all. The Lord got the drums from Tobben yesterday and we can now reveal that the guitars are recorded too. Yep, that’s how we work this shit called death metal. We s’pose it’s one of the (prolly the only as well) advantages of being death metal veterans and general superheroes). So, that leaves us with 3 fucken excellent blasting’n'grooving tunes of sheer death metal in need of some grunts and bass. And we figured that since we have Mr. Jörgen Sandström on board this ship of torture, he might as well do them on this demo too, huh? That’s the plan and we’ll fucken stick to it. So, when will he do it? He might have done it already, we are not completely sure. If not, this should happen within a week or so.
We need to have this demo completed in a little while becoz of a few reasons actually… Perhaps you have an urge to see 3 handsome muthafuckers on stage sometime soon? Well, let’s not say anything more at the moment since we are waiting for someone else to do the announcement of “where and when” before we do. Keep yer eyes open at this site and over at our forums, 2 places we are sure you can find without us linking to them in this post, ok?
So, is there anything else we would like to share with you concerning this demo? Of course it is… And it’s even some quite fucken cool news if you ask us… But we won’t reveal that yet, we have to have something to use for the next news post from your favourite death metal band, right? We might try to post some pictures from the recording sessions of this second demo later on. Thanx for the support and spread the word of Torture.
In the meantime, beware of The Knifer.
