the colossal destructive power of Tortured will be set loose with their debut full length album ‘Genetically Engineered Monstrosity’. It has been a long wait since 2020s ‘The Limb Collector’ EP first hinted at what Tortured were capable of, but every second of those intervening years has been justified by the arrival of this bludgeoning assault. This is unflinching, undiluted, ultra-violent brutal death metal… this is what the genre is meant to sound like. ‘Genetically Engineered Monstrosity’ is a master class in absolute bone breaking brutality – accept no imitations.
