Torturer (Chile) reissue :

"Santiago Death Metal band Torturer came into being during 1989, launching the demo 'Kingdom Of The Dark' the following year. The group gained international exposure by sharing these tracks on a split cd with the French band Misanthropy in 1991. Signing to Infest Records the band issued the album 'Oppressed By The Force' in 1992, promoting it by dates in Peru, Argentina and Brazil. On this debut album the band manages to maintain a perfect balance between technical flash and visceral force, speed and gravity, thrashing/slashing and all out pummeling. And they do it all without sounding like pre-programmed instrument-playing robots. The vocals compliment the music well, sounding like a slightly over-the-top Altars-era David Vincent. unless you referred to the jacket. They’re on beat and delivered with total infernal conviction. The production is surprisingly clear, if a little trebly at times and over-compressed at others, but the usual low-end metal dumpster from Hades sound is not present this time around and im really thankful it’s not, because there’s a lot going on here compositionally that deserves an unmuddled presentation. This 2003 re-issue also includes the
‘Kingdom Of The Dark’ demo as bonus material. This is also very good stuff, and in some ways more brutal than the main fare of the disc."
