Torture Killer
Here's a band bio you don't read every day:
A band is formed, named after a song by their favorite group,
and are later joined by a member of the very group that inspired
them in the first place.
Such is the tale of Torture Killer, a Finnish band who got together
to play some
Six Feet Under
tunes, eventually naming themselves after a SFU song.
An album was recorded in 2003, and in 2005 the band
was approached by none other than SFU frontman Chris Barnes,
who was currently on tour in Europe and took a liking to the band.
As they were without a vocalist at the time, one thing led to another,
and Barnes officially joined the band, also helping them get
signed to Metal Blade Records for their 2006 sophomore release,
Swarm!.
And the music?
Not suprisingly, it's not too far removed from prime SFU, that
being death metal with more of an emphasized on mid-paced groove
than twisted riffing, with Barnes supplying the quality death vocals
one would expect from him.
Though Barnes is no longer here, the band has recorded as late as 2012.
