Cody DiLullo TING TING MOTHERFUCKER Favorite track: Kingmaker.

Haunt Luma Pummeling, saturated, filthy, and melodic hardcore and metal admixture that is extremely satisfying to listen to. FFO: Norma Jean, Fero Lux, Gojira Favorite track: Death Forgives No One.

autodidact904 A local band from nearby Manchester, NH this band does not f*ck around and leaves no sloppy seconds. They come in, screw your shit up, and leave satisfied. This album is no exception to that mentality. They take what's great about bands like Bolt Thrower, Gojira, Kreator, Suffocation, Earth Crisis and more, and toss it into a high-octane modern package fit with massive sound.
This EP is a solid 10, for me, and it makes me deadlift harder. ;) Favorite track: Kingmaker.

about

The band returned to producer Will Putney (A Day To Remember, Knocked Loose, The Amity Affliction) to put together Torture World. The group described by Kerrang! as "an exercise in old-school extremity" and one of the 50 Greatest American Hardcore Bands Right Now took things up a notch, somehow managing to rival and even top prior Great American Ghost anthems like "Prison of Hate," "Ann Arbor (Be Safe)," and "No Savior." Harrison and Gasparrini spoke about their shared love of Nine Inch Nails and industrial, resulting in the very metal but angular, sharply percussive Torture World opener "Kingmaker."

Torture World tackles several issues with urgency and passion, not the least of which is the struggle for equality and the resulting social unrest magnified in recent years. "As a white cisgender male, I'm not in a position to say that I am oppressed. It's not my story to tell," Harrison cautions. "But I have a huge problem with the disparity that occurs inside of this civilization that we occupy." Gasparrini came up with the title for the EP. Once that was in place, Harrison took it as a creative cue for all of the song lyrics.

"Torture World has a dual meaning. Some songs on the EP are extremely political, and there are some extremely personal songs," Harrison points out. "Both things bleed into each other."

Even for this genre the sheer intensity of this album always manages to floor me. Might not be the most unique album under the sun but it doesn't have to be; the performances are tight and ferocious, the songwriting is dynamic and explosive, the production is crushing, it's just all things to a mathcore fan. napalmsatan
