Formed in Finland in 2002 by a few members of Adramalech, Torn and Demigod as a Six Feet Under and Obituary tribute band, Torture Killer has come a long way. Their 2004 Karmageddon Media debut "For Maggots to Devour" didn't quite go out of its way to pay homage to its peers. Chugging mid-tempo death metal that just begs to nod your head to. Apparently, Six Feet Under head honcho Chris Barnes heard about Torture Killer (a name taken from Six Feet Under's "Maximum Violence" record), promptly joined them and a record deal with Metal Blade Records followed closely after. This album is far more enjoyable than the last few Six Feet Under albums. Guitarists Jari Laine and Tuomas Karppinen deliver fast punching riffs that are far more technical and groovy than what the Six Feet Under guitar-tandem has been spewing out in recent years. With titles such as ‘Obsessed With Homicide', ‘Multiple Counts of Murder' and ‘Heading Towards the Butchery' Chris Barnes is bound to feel in place - which shows in his convincing and mean vocal delivery. Artwork by Wes Benscoter (Mortician, Deceased) fits this package like a glove. "Swarm!" is by all means a step up from their debut and with Barnes in tow Torture Killer will no longer be an unknown with the groove oriented death metal fanatics.
