Vocals for the new demo being recorded right now!
Today, J entered the studio for the recordings of his vocals for the coming demo. We know it’s taken longer than expected for us to get to this point, but things happen when they happen. He’s also brought himself a friend to the studio for some guest vocals, but we’re not giving his name away just yet. We have a few cool things coming up in the near future, but we can’t say anything more about that right now, you’ll just have to wait a little longer. Just trust us when we say that Torture Division is on a roll. If everything goes as planned, the new demo will be available sometime late January, 2012.
You want the Punkmonkey shirt? Yeah, that’s what we call it. It’s a lot funnier in Swedish though, but hey… can’t win them all. Anyways, the merch section is updated with information as for how to order the latest shirt. Hurry up to buy one, there’s not many copies left since the heroes of Holland at Eindhoven Metal Meeting decided to buy the fuck out of our merchandise (and the fact we decided to give out shirts left and right prolly helped too, haha). We have also received another batch of albums (the first one) from Abyss Records to sell so we can finance further recordings and whatnot so make sure to get one of those. Obviously there’s been a 2nd print of “With endless wrath”. We guess this means we are now superstars. Also, in case you were home playing with your synthesizers this weekend when we destroyed Eindhoven, here’s a clip for ya so you can watch how this death metal thing is supposed to be done.
Now Torture Division will take the rest of the year off (except for completing the new demo of course, which means we are not taking any time off at all actually) and we’ll be back at full force in 2012.
Suffer the shitmass, bastards, and thanx for your great support in 2011.

The annihilation of Eindhoven!
We just got home from Holland after the extremely satisfying gig at Eindhoven Metal Meeting. Our first “real” gig abroad (playing Norway isn’t really being “abroad” for us Scandinavians, you know), and doing it at a place like this was absolutely phenomenal. The crowd threw together a circle pit and went completely apeshit on numerous occasions. We can do nothing but applaud them for treating us with that. Holland – you guys rule.
We wanna say thanks to all of you who attended and made this a very precious memory to us. We also wanna give mad props and respect to Danny and Mike from God Dethroned for being absolutely wonderful people and for helping us out with everything. Heavy D for getting us a great fucken sound. Roman, the organizer of the festival deserves a huge thanx for bringing our asses down there. Cheers to the Sinister guy and his friends who sold our merch. Anders of Unleashed once again comes thru and helps us with all kinds of things. All of you guys are superheroes and we can’t thank you enough. Also, kudos to these guys who have taken the photo you can see above, as well as the ones you can find here.
In a few days we will update the merch section with the remaining shirts (we sold everything we brought to Holland, but naturally we saved a few shirts at home) asap. Keep your eyes open.

New shirts have arrived!
And as you can see, they look fucken phenomenal. There’s just a limited quantity of these made, and as soon as we have played Eindhoven this weekend (we will naturally bring a bunch of shirts and CD’s for the gig, not too much though) and gotten back home, we will update the site with what we have left as far as sizes and quantity go, prices and so forth. Make sure to get one of these and support Torture Division.
Thanx to Fred once again for the killer design. Also, make sure you drop us an e-mail with your size so we can send you a shirt, of course.

New merch for the Eindhoven gig in December!
Since we are playing Holland (at this festival) in roughly a month we thought it’d be nice to actually bring some merch made by a Dutch hero named Fred. We will print 40 shirts of the design to the right and bring them for the gig. If there are any leftovers after that event we’ll sell them thru the site of course.
Hope to see you guys in Eindhoven.

We will play Close-Up Båten again!
We are very honored to have been asked to play at Close-Up Båten again in 2012. Sweden’s premiere magazine for metal, Close-Up Magazine, has done tons for Torture Division over the years, and it seems like there’s no end to the support. We thank them. Then again, they should be happy we agreed to play since we’re the best death metal band in the world. Really. We played this boat a few years back and had a blast, so to say that we are so looking forward to this event is putting it mildly. Hopefully we’ll see some of you bastards there. More info about this will be at the official Close-Up site next week.
