Abysmal Torment [New Logo Shirts!]

Rising out of the island of Malta, Abysmal Torment emerged as a violent death grind bullet destined to spread ear crushing brutality. Proud to stick to its roots, Abysmal Torment started late 2000 though under the name Molested. Although undergoing various line up changes, Abysmal Torment hit the stage for the first time in 2002. After a massive response, the band never looked back and shared the stage with various local and foreign bands. With a burning ambition to spread their sick music to a wider audience Abysmal Torment hit the studios for the first time in 2004 to record their debut MCD entitled INSICED WOUND SUICIDE, consisting of five “drum kit mashing, guitar shredding, vocal chord wrecking ultra fucking brutal death metal” tracks. Teufels tomb. This proved to be a new fresh start for Abysmal Torment as they started building up a positive reputation world wide, receiving many encouraging reviews and nothing less than a 3 year album deal with underground label Brutal Bands (US). Their first release under brutal bands was the re-release of Incised Wound Suicide. Musically Abysmal Torment relies on speed stimulated tempos, breakdowns and a dual assault of varying gurgling vocals. A glance at the lyrical content illustrates that there is no ordinary gory mentality at work here and the knowledgeable treatment of the subject matters add more depth to the Abysmal Torment mix. The band had been writing new material since the recording of their MCD and 2005 proved to be no exception but another hard-working year for the band as they came up with 10 brand new tracks which were recorded at Temple Studios (Malta) together with producer/engineer David Vella. This 45 minute assault of aural butchery was to be the bands first full length album entitled EPOCH OF METHODIC CARNAGE, featuring artwork from extremely talented Tony Koehl. The album was released through Brutal Bands in February 2006. This was to be distributed through all major labels in Europe, US and the rest of the world destined to take the band to the next level. Summer 2006 was a huge dissapointment for Abysmal Torment as we had to cancel our full blown american tour w/BENEATH THE MASSACRE, NEURAXIS and VICTIMAS were we also had festivals such as THE GATHERING OF THE SICK and CENTRAL ILLINIOS METAL FEST. These all had to be cancelled due to circumstances beyond our control!! New material began to take shape throughout early 2006/7, as well as opportunities for touring. After heading to Italy for the South Extreem Noise Fest in Summer 2007, Abysmal Torment invaded Europe with a 23 date tour together with Sanatorium in Oct/Nov, exposing the band to many new fans and headling fests such as the LUDWIGSHAFEN DEATHFEST, SLOVAK DEATHFEST and LUZERN DEATHFEST. A short while after this tour Abysmal Torment flew to Holland to headline the DRACHTEN DEATHFEST.We have also finished recording our third full lenght album entitled OMNICIDE. Be ready for some intense and violent music with a release in 2008Until then the band will continue to spread sickness, maim and pummel all horizons…welcome to Abysmal Torment’s world. NB: NO VOCAL EFFECTS OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT WAS EVER USED BY ABYSMAL TORMENT IN ANY OF THE RECORDINGS. JUST OUR FUCKIN VOCAL CHORDS!!!!
