“Evighetens Dårar II” available now!
We have absolutely no fucken idea what Mr. Dan Swanö eats for breakfast but it can’t be healthy for mere mortals. Yesterday we handed over our shitty sounding files to him and expected a mix in a week or 2. Today he handed over the complete fucken thing for us to worship. We have stated this numerous of times before and we will do it again, and again, and again… We can never thank Dan enough for endorsing us with these mixes, taking time off from his busy schedule to help us out with our agenda to spread the world’s best death metal for free – without us paying him anything but the occasional 30 bucks and free merch. Seriously, we actually gave him half of our bank account for this demo, not becoz he asked for it but becoz we wanted to, that explains how much we earn doing this. Hardly what he deserves, that’s for sure.
Thank you, Dan. Thanks so incredibly fucken much for being one of the coolest sons of bitches in this world, and for helping us shape our sound into the eternal depths of insane brutality. Whatever the fuck that means, but it sure sounded like something a death metal band should say. Maybe not in a news post, more like in a press sheet that is sent to magazines. Fuck that, we don’t need magazines or record labels – we manage all fine as we are.
Well, here you go, “Evighetens Dårar II” – free of charge (we do have a donation page – if you feel we are worthy of your lousy 5 or 10 bucks as a thanx for giving you incredible death metal – USE THE FUCKEN PAYPAL BUTTON and help supporting our cause! What you donate goes into our mixes and merch, as always). We will not say “Hope you like it”. We know you will like it. We know you will even love the damn thing considering the fact it reeks of brutality, groove and utter professionalism most bands can only dream of. Yeah, we are exaggerating a bit, but not with the “groove and utter professionalism most bands can only dream of” part.
And the fucken songs, with download links:
1. Total Death Punishment | download
2. Overtorture (Bound to be dead) | download
3. Righteous Fore Ensemble | download
You should by now know where to get the lyrics and additional info for this masterpiece? As well as downloadable artwork.
We’ll do our best to get the third and final piece of this trilogy out faster next time, but hey – we are busy being rockstars and shit, you know. We can’t sit around and create music all day. Anyways, there you go – another masterpiece of death metal art for you.
Have at it!

Another recording update!
3rd song is nailed guitar-wise. The last one will be done when I feel like it. I spent a total of 12 minutes to lay this one down, including the editing work which is needed before bouncing the guitar tracks, haha… It’s so great to hear the material with Tobben’s drums instead of the programmings. That guy sure delivers the groove and it’s a fucken joy to put down guitars to it. This tune was the one that will end up on the Big Balls compilation, by the way, which means the last one for “Evighetens dårar II” is still left to do.
Also talked to Swanö yesterday. He’s swamped with work but after he’s gotten the files he’ll squeeze us in when there’s a small break in his mixing duties, like he always does. We love Dan and can’t wait to hear what this will sound like when his work is done. But first things first; J has all of his work left and there’s one more song to do guitars for. Guess you could say we are just excited, haha…
Update later the same day: All the guitars are now done and all that is left is for J to do his stuff, which will happen asap. Here’s a small video clip of the guitars being recorded, in case you are interested.

Cover of “Double barrel remedy” available!
This band, Decadent Youngsters, did a cover of “Double barrel remedy”, and safe to say we are honoured. They did something “own” with it, which is something we appreciate.
Listen to it:
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
Their MySpace has the song as well in case you prefer that. On a completely unrelated note; Tobben enters the studio today to record the drums for the next demo. Keep an eye on our forums to stay up to date with the progress.
Also, it’s only 2 days left to bid on the super rare LP…

Half of the hats sold!
A week after sending everything to the printers we have gotten almost half of the embroidered hats sold in advance. That is fantastic. Thanx so much to everyone who placed an order so far. Remember this – you do want a piece of embroidered death metal history so make sure to get yer hat now and support Torture Division’s policy of giving you free music.
These hats should be at our place in some 3 weeks and as soon as we have gotten them and sent them out you will be notified, both here and at our forums. Also, do not forget that Tobben starts recording his drums in little over a week for part 2 of “Evighetens dårar”. You sure have some killer death metal to look forward to. In case you missed out on it we are recording 3 songs, as usual, and one extra song for a compilation coming sometime in 2010. Last off, make sure to catch us supporting The Haunted in a month and a half in Örebro, Sweden.

Latest bid comes from Sweden!
We thought we might as well re-post this to get yer attention. The original post can still be found in the archives but this is the one to keep an eye on.
This thing in the picture is a super-rare item. Actually there are only 4 of these in the whole world. It’s the test pressing of what was to become the LP (our 3 first demos and 2008’s x-mas single), but ultimately never did. Since we are only 3 people in Torture Division we thought we might as well put the fourth up for an auction. We are going to let this run until January 20th so feel free to put yer bid in a mail to torturedivision@gmail.com and we’ll keep this topic updated with the highest bid (no mentioning of names or anything – just the amount). You can state your offer in SEK, US dollars or Euros. Own a piece of death metal history with this LP that comes in a very flashy white paper thing and nothing else. Starting bid is 10 dollars (becoz we need to be able to at least cover the postage).
Updated January 14th, 2010:
Highest bid: 1000 SEK
(Approximately 98 Euro or 142 US Dollars)
