About the new album, MAYARA PUERTAS comments:
” ‘Devilish’ is an album surrounded by a somber atmosphere, its lyrics show yearnings experienced in our century, such as the constant degradation of the Amazon rainforest and the population increasingly affected by psychological illnesses such as anxiety and depression. At the same time, it opens escape windows to an imaginary world inspired by games, series and fiction books”.
On their second album with the new lineup, Mayara Puertas (Voice), Rene Simionato (Guitar), Castor (Bass) and Amilcar Christófaro (Drums) maturely transcend the sound of extreme metal, incorporating progressive metal, influences from Brazilian music and symphonic elements.
The album also honors Brazilian heroes with the participation of Andreas Kisser (Sepultura) in the track “Buried Alive”, it is a tribute to Rickson Gracie, the resilient fighter of Jiu Jitsu considered one of the greatest legends of the sport, theme of the track “Warrior”. The band also mobilized several musicians linked to indigenous causes in their country to collaborate on the song “Uatumã”, making an appeal for the preservation of the Amazon in a song that flows powerfully with the speeches of the indigenous leader Raoni Metuktire and tribal rhythms.
Currently TORTURE SQUAD continues with a busy schedule, performing shows all over Brazil and preparing to release ‘Devilish’. More information will be released soon.
The first 2 singles are out.
"Far Beyond Existence" was a great album, I hope they maintain the same level on this one.
