TORTURE HAMMER – s/t LP

Stepping things up considerably with a full, four-piece line-up, the second EP from the Santa Cruz crew is a solid slab of heavyweight modern death metal dropped from high, straight on top of your squishy heads. 2024’s debut EP Dormant Horror was written and performed as a two-piece – vocalist Peter Pawlak (Spy, Ultras, World Peace) and guitarist Sean Collins have now added drummer Max Mahmood (Iron Front, Manos De Fierro) and bassist Amir Sahabi (Caveman). Another filthy-but-classy grinder from the Creator-Destructor label.
