TORTURE SQUAD was founded in 1990 in Brazil. In South- and Middle America, the band is already well-known. Now TORTURE SQAD also want to go round here and prove to the metal heads beyond the underground,, that their Death/Trash is the only true thing. The first “professional” Line-up dates back to the year 1993. Band founder Cristiano Fusco on Guitars, Wagner “Caster” as bass player, Amilcar Christofaro on Drums and Vitor Rodriguez as fronter. The first album “Shiver” was a sensational success in the Brazilian underground. Regardless of the bad production, the songs had an immense intensity and brutality. They made their breakthrough with ‘Asylum of Shadows’ and in 2001; they could thrill more fans in Europe on their first Germany Tour. After several line-up changes, the band nowadays consists of: Amilcar Christofaro (Drums), Castor (Bass), Vitor Rodrigues (Vocals), Augusto Lopes (Guitar). After 4 albums (‘Shivering’1998, ‘Asylum of Shadows’1999, ‘The Unholy Spell’ 2001 und ‘Pandemonium’ 2003) as well as the EP ‘Chaos Corporation’ released in 2006, the band won the “Metal Battle 2007” and could get hold of a record deal with Armageddon Records.
The recordings for the fifth album are nearly finished. ‘Hellbound’ will be the title and it will be unchained on 25th April 2008. Be prepared for another doze “Horror and Torture”. The band will also play live this year. Just check the tour dates below.
