“We bring upon thee” almost done!
Recording-wise that is. Mr. Sandström’s put down bass bass for all three tracks and vocals for 2 of them, which means there’s one more death metal hit to do vocals for and then we’ll ship the damn thing over to Dan Swanö to work his magic. We can guarantee you 3 tracks of the world’s best death metal. If everything goes as planned, this second demo should be available for free to you guys within one or 2 weeks. This is necessary as we are going to play www.metaltown.se as previously announced. We still haven’t been informed if we are going to play on Friday or Saturday, but our wishes is to play Saturday. We’ll let you know as soon as we know. You better not miss this gig coz it’s not that often you get to hear and see the world’s best death metal being performed by your fave band, Torture Division.
Also, the shirts are currently being printed and will be done by next week sometime. You will look beautiful in it, we promise.

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.

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.

Demo 2 on the way?
Yeah, it is. Kind of. The tunes are ready to be recorded. Titles and everything is already set. The cover is done too. We are not promising anything but we are actually trying to get this one recorded earlier than posted before. The reason for this you will be aware of in a while, so stay tuned for that. In other related news we can reveal that a new shirt is also in the works. The people over at our forums have seen most of the design but as soon as it’s completed fully, we’ll post it here for you to see.
If you claim to be into death metal and don’t actually support us by purchasing our t-shirts and whatnot - you are actually not into death metal. You are a scumbag whom we wish gonorrhea upon. We give you the world’s best death metal for free, so make sure to chip in for a quality shirt so we can continue handing out music to you cocksuckers. Or you and your family will be on our list of people to torture. Coz that’s what we do, you know. We torture shit. Hence our name.
More news, cool fucken ones too, will come…

Ready to be tortured again?
We sure would like to think so… Shortly after we released our fantastic debut demo, “With endless wrath”, we started to work on the follow up. The plans were to not say anything about it, just record it and BANG! release it upon the masses. We unfortunately had to cancel those plans this time becoz of a few reasons… Time. Yeah, fuck time and its cohorts. Due to busy schedules in the TD crew we won’t be recording this next demo until the end of May. Not exactly as we planned it but definitely better than recording it in… eh… December, that’s for sure.
Yeah, we got the next 3 songs lined up with titles and lyrics just waiting to make it on to our next death metal masterpiece. We even got the cover for it done, so as you can see - we are pro’s de luxe. The pre-productions sound absolutely massive and the three of us already came to the conclusion that we have written the best tune in our career with the opener for demo number 2. And we mean that as in “we will never write as good a tune again”. So besides writing the best death metal tune we could ever compose, the rest of the material isn’t exactly shitty either. Oh no, not at all. It’s actually some damn fine’n'grind brutality that we have in store for you. I guess we could actually tell you the title for the next recording but we are running out of time here so that’ll have to wait a little longer.
We wanna thank Markus at www.metallfabriken.se for the work he did with our first demo. It seems we’ll let him fuck around with our shitty files for the next one as well. I mean, it’s free and stuff and we kinda dig to hand out free torture. We are not exactly sure what that last part meant but come May and we will start the recording of what will be the defining moment of your pathetic death metal life.
We bring upon thee… An army of three…

The covers are downloadable now!
Yep. here you go. Make your own demos and sell them. Yes, keep the profit too. But please, do it accordingly to our post further down this page. In the “Discography” section of this site you will find the covers for both cd and cassette (we told you we are fucken old school as shit). Download them and start printing your own “With endless wrath” demos. Sell them to yer friends. Give them to your mother (just make sure the bitch pays for it). Do whatever the fuck you want, just spread The Torture as much as you can. Also, feel free to donate cash to us so we can afford to record the next demo. Regular mail donations are fine. Really.

In case any of you mongoloids would prefer to listen to shittier quality versions on MySpace, feel free to go there and do so. This is the link to the page.

With endless wrath!
Ok, bastard sons of Christ… Salvation is here!
Bla, bla, bla… You want The Torture? You’ll get The Torture. Here it is, the long-awaited 3 track demo of grinding’n'groovy death metal, the shit you have waited for all your lives. Yep, it’s yours now. Here you go, congratulations. We love you all. Now, go fuck yourselves.
Sorry, let’s not get ahead of ourselves… But here it is. The 3 track demo of grinding’n'groovy death metal, the shit you have waited for all your lives. Whoa, deja vu all over…
As we said from the start, as soon as we had this demo done we’d hand it out for you to download and spread exactly how you want to spread it. We even have a small request for you to pay us back for being the fucken coolest bunch of of’em all… You can make your own cdr’s or cassettes, download the cover and print it, sell the demo at some gigs that you are attending to, make some money off it. We seriously don’t care, we actually ASK you to do this. Only two small things though;
1. Don’t sell it for more than 20 SEK, 3 US dollars or 2 Euros.
2. Please let us know if you actually sell any copies and how many. We want to be able to say “Man, we have sold like 36 copies of our first demo”, in interviews.
That’s all we ask. It’s not like we have ever made any money off music in the first place so we figured it’d be nothing but right to have you guys who spread it make some lousy bux on it. “With endless wrath” cost us basically nothing to record, so hey… Knock yerselves out, spread The Torture and buy yourself something nice. You fucken idiots deserve it.
Hope you dig it. Then again, if you don’t - congrats, you are completely retarded. Oh, and in case you missed the link above, you can find the tunes in the “Discography” section, naturally.
We are Torture Division. Don’t you fucken forget it, bitch.

Whoa!
Just got to hear some mixed stuff from Marcus at www.metallfabriken.se and it sounds very fine, and it’s a miracle how he’s been able to shape up the sound so much compared to the shitty sounding files he got in the first place, hahaha… He’s not done with it since there are a few things he wants to change before considering this demo “finished”. He should be done with this before the weekend is over, this means we will hand over all the songs to you in just a few days.

Torture me, torture you!
That title is s’posed to be hummed with a certain ABBA tune in mind. Anyways, believe it or not, the files are now being shipped to Marcus of www.metallfabriken.se for him to work with. And he better do a good fucken job with it or else… If it sounds too clean, we’ll slap him. If it sounds too dirty, we’ll punch him in the balls. If it sounds bad all over, we guess we just have to go ballistic on his ass. So, if this shit sounds awful when you get to hear it in some week or 6, we’ll hand out his phone number so you guys can harass him, ok? No pressure, Marcus.
Seriously, we thank him for doing this for free, just becoz he knows we are the shit and mixing THE SHIT is not something any random lowlife studio-scumbag has the privilege to do. We are definitely eager to hear what he can get out of this poorly recorded demo (see budget somewhere down this page).
So, just hang in here now and remember to enter our forums in case you have a hard-on for death metal in general and Torture Division in particular. You guys will love this shit. If not, well… then you suck it.
