“Evighetens dårar II” – Recording update!
I put down guitars for 2 tracks today becoz I didn’t have anything else to do this morning. This is the first time I hear Tobben‘s work as well and ofcourse he’s completely golden as always when it comes to playing drums. I need to go thru the guitars some other day and see what needs correcting, if anything. 2 more tunes to do guitarwise and it’ll happen when it happens. Stay tuned to this site and our forums for regular updates on the process. Trust me when I say that this shit will be cool as fuck.

Studio report from Tobben!
As we mentioned recently, the drums for “Evighetens dårar II” are completed. This is what Grindmaster Fesh, aka Tobben, aka Tobias Gustafsson, aka Golden T, aka Golden Spider, aka Golden has to say about the session:
“- Well, there isn’t much to say other than I fuckn nailed all the songs last night. We had the studio reserved for tonight also, in case we’d face some serious fuck up – on the equipment or on yours truly. But obviously we didn’t need that and I’m very happy we did all the songs in one night. Since I had already put up the drumkit in the studio on Sunday night, Mats could do his shit with the mics etc during the day yesterday, so everything was all set and ready to blast when I arrived at the studio yesterday at 5 p.m. Well, not really. One of the local newspapers had sent sent a very pretty reporter and a photographer to the studio to do a thing on Big Balls Productions and their upcoming compilation CD, for the Friday issue. Apparently our ugly mugs will make the front page, haha… I’ll post a link to it here on Friday. So we got started at about 6 p.m. and were finished with everything around 10 p.m.
Mats (and his new companion Fredrik) did a great job in the studio. Very easy guys to work with, to say the least! It was the first time I used my Tama Superstar Hyper Drive drum kit, and we were all blown away by the sound! I’ve used them on a few live shows, and I knew they’d do just fine in the studio, but I didn’t expect them to sound that good! Holy fuck! But we’ll see how the TD mixing wizard, mr Swanö, will use the original sounds. Usually, he replaces the original sounds with samples (for good and for bad). That’s what the red trig mics on every drum is for.
Playingwise, I’m very happy with the result. Nothing really fancy, to be honest, but a very solid performance (if I might say it myself ) with a lot of balls – just like how we work in Torture Division. No song was any easier or harder than the others so everything worked very smooth.”
You can find some more pictures from the recording here.

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)
