Torment is a death-metal powerhouse that has slightly shifted genres, fusing bone-crushing riffs with a dose of hardcore punk chaos. Featuring Kyle Rudd-Pulkinen, Andrew Olson, Matt Erickson, Caden Dudek and Connor Slawson, the band’s ruthless energy is not for the faint of heart. The Pain EP, released in January, delivers a relentless assault of crushing guitar work and guttural vocals guaranteed to strike a chord with souls or leave ears ringing for days; likely both. Torment bridges the divide between timeless metal and raw, unfiltered rage and promises to be louder than anyone’s regrets.
