Unholy What the Fuck — TORTURERS’ LOBBY’s new album Deadened Nerves is out now on Caligari Records and Ixiol Productions is straight up fucking UNREAL! Press play on the track “Barbaric Alchemy” and you will hear for yourself that this band can not be FUCKED with! Their riffs are spectacular and full of morbid decaying filth simultaneously. Not too many records released in 2024 sound as gnarly as this one. A big factor that sets this offering apart from others is the level of elite songwriting that takes place on Deadened Nerves. They have crafted compositions with various levels of sonic hate that exist within one song — case in point is “Humanity’s Husk.” Also, TORTURERS’ LOBBY has no problem showing their love for classic metal, all you have to do is turn their song “Re-education” up past 10 and you will experience their feral audio fury for yourself! This album has harnessed the power of all of my favorite Metal genres into one from Death Metal to Black Metal to Thrash Metal. “Enduring Spirit” is a beautiful Death Hymn that reigns down on your black soul only to shed light onto your life. “Reptilian Hide” closes out the album and will destroy what we know as our reality! TORTURERS’ LOBBY’s debut is sinister AF and just might be the sickest Metal record of 2024!
