Death Thrash Mastery by Torture Squad
Torture Squad returns with Far Beyond Existence, a powerful album that merges high-speed thrash energy with brutal death metal ferocity. Driven by intricate guitar riffs, aggressive drumming, and thunderous bass lines, this release delivers a relentless sonic assault from start to finish.
Lyrically, the album delves into social and political issues, human nature, and personal struggles, offering thought-provoking content that engages listeners beyond the mosh pit. Fans of European death thrash will find familiar intensity reminiscent of Sodom, Suffocation, Coroner, Legion of the Damned, and Sepultura.
Musically, Far Beyond Existence explores a wide spectrum: chugging death metal riffs, blistering thrash segments, melodic black metal passages, occasional clean vocals, and technically impressive fills. Guitarists Amílcar Christófaro and Castor deliver unpredictable, high-energy performances, perfectly complemented by Rene Simionato’s virtuoso guitar work.
After a four-year hiatus, Torture Squad has returned stronger than ever. Each of the ten tracks stands on its own, combining technical precision with cohesion. While some listeners might have preferred a shorter tracklist or acoustic interludes for contrast, the album maintains unyielding intensity throughout.
Far Beyond Existence is a bold statement of precision and brutality, showcasing Torture Squad’s mastery of death thrash metal and cementing their position as a leading force in the European metal scene.
