Abysmal Torment - Dread

ABYSMAL TORMENT is a brutal technical death metal band from Saint Julian's, Malta formed in 2000 by Nick Farrugia. They are considered to have played an important role in establishing the Maltese Extreme Death metal genre.

The current line-up: 
Nick Farrugia (vocals), 
Melchior Borg (vocals), 
David Depasquale (guitars),
Max Vassallo (drums),
Claudio Toscano (bass). 

Their music is hard, brutal, and very technical with energy that makes this Wednesday blow away, hold your horses tight, and let this tune loose.

Today's tune "Dread" is taken from the latest album "The Misanthrope". The album was recorded, mixed, and mastered at SpineSplitter Studio. Photography for the Cover Art was taken by Lee Jeffries and additional editing carried out by Michal Loranc. On 21 July 2018, the band released the track titled Squalid Thoughts as a teaser prior to the full release and was well-received upon its release. For "The Misanthrope", ABYSMAL TORMENT switched to 8 string guitars, which would result in the band further down tuning and adding a punchier and a deeper layered sound that would serve their musical style better. Amidst news on the upcoming release and preparations for live duties, the band parted ways with their longstanding bassist Karl Romano. On 3 August, Claudio Toscano was announced as having joined the band to fill in bass duties for the upcoming endeavors. On 11 September the band released their first official music video for the album's title track, The Misanthrope, which was soon followed by the official release on the full album and later on the second single "Dread". "The Misanthrope" was released on September 21, 2018. The video includes some footage from Deathfeast OpenAir 2019 By Ayrton Muscat and Celine B. Smith and Farsons Beer Festival 2019 By CaptureIt Media. Enjoy!
