One of the most acclaimed Brazilian metal bands, TORTURE SQUAD, is preparing to release its new work, the live album ‘Tortura en La Iglesia En Vivo’. As anticipated, the band shared the first music video for the song “Horror and Torture,” and the song will be available on digital platforms soon. The music video premiered exclusively on the Metal Injection website.
This song has been a Torture Squad classic since its release. This music video, produced by Caike Scheffer and Kelvin Aguiar, encapsulates the energy of the headbangers present on July 16, 2022, where the band performed to a sold-out night at La Iglesia concert hall in São Paulo, one of the world’s largest metropolises. The entire recorded show served as the basis for the new live album.
“Tortura en La Iglesia En Vivo” will be released on all digital platforms in 2022, featuring two music videos. To the surprise of fans, the band will also release a new song as a bonus track on the live album.
TORTURE SQUAD currently has a busy schedule, performing shows throughout Brazil, and is preparing to take the stage alongside Exodus on December 4th and play three shows with Nervosa in Pomerode, Santa Catarina (October 29th), Curitiba, Paraná (October 30th), and Feira de Santana, Bahia (November 5th).

Torture Squad is considered by extreme music fans as one of the most visceral and powerful metal bands currently active. With nearly three decades of experience, with excellent live performances, including at the most important metal festivals in the world, the Brazilian group has amassed legions of fans playing throughout the country, Latin America, and Europe.
In 2019, while preparing their new album, Torture Squad performed at one of the world’s biggest music festivals, Brazil’s Rock in Rio, for a crowd of 120,000. Featuring a lineup packed with metal legends like Anthrax, Slayer, Sepultura, Scorpions, and Iron Maiden, the show was epic, alongside Chuck Billy (Testament) and Brazilian band Claustrofobia on the Sunset stage. The set included songs from throughout Torture Squad’s career and Testament classics. After Rock in Rio came the long-awaited Central American tour, visiting Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala. The highlight was the show at Mexico Metal Fest, where Torture Squad headlined.
In 2020, they released a new single and video called “O Doutrinador,” inspired by a Brazilian comic book character who was also turned into a film and TV series. The English version of the single and video, titled “The Awakener,” is also available. In 2021, the band celebrated the twentieth anniversary of the release of their third album, “The Unholy Spell” (2001), playing the entire album live at live shows and concerts.
