One of the most renowned Brazilian metal bands, TORTURE SQUAD, announces their long-awaited new album, titled ‘Devilish.’ The album kicks off the band’s new partnership with Italian label Time To Kill and will be released on September 22, 2023. As a teaser, the band releases the first single, titled “Mabus,” this Friday, July 14, which comes accompanied by a lyric video by Wanderley Perna. “Mabus” was recorded and mixed by Diego Rocha at Bay Area Studios, and mastered by Martin Fury, guitarist of Destruction and famous for working with the bands The Damnation, Invisible Control, and Eskrota.<\/p>\n
Regarding the new single, TORTURE SQUAD comments:<\/p>\n
“The lyrics were inspired by the prophet Nostradamus’ prediction about the arrival of ‘Mabus,’ the third antichrist. It’s a fast, powerful, and aggressive song.”<\/p>\n
On their second album with the new lineup, Mayara Puertas (Vocals), Rene Simionato (Guitar), Castor (Bass), and Amilcar Christ\u00f3faro (Drums) maturely transcend the sound of extreme metal, incorporating progressive metal, Brazilian music influences, and symphonic elements.<\/p>\n
The album also pays homage to Brazilian heroes with the participation of Andreas Kisser (Sepultura) on the track “Buried Alive,” a tribute to Rickson Gracie, the resilient Jiu-Jitsu fighter considered one of the sport’s greatest legends, the subject of the track “Warrior.” The band also enlisted several musicians linked to indigenous causes in their country to collaborate on the song “Uatum\u00e3,” a call for the preservation of the Amazon in a song that flows powerfully with the words of indigenous leader Raoni Metuktire and tribal rhythms.<\/p>\n
Torture Squad currently has a busy schedule, performing shows throughout Brazil and preparing to release “Devilish.” More information will be released soon.<\/p>\n
