TORTURE was again produced by HATE ETERNAL's Erik Rutan at his own MANA RECORDING STUDIOS in St. Petersburg, Florida as well as SONIC RANCH in Tornillo, Texas, and features the maniacal cover art by longtime CANNIBAL CORPSE artist Vincent Locke.
While TORTURE marks the latest progression in the band's sound, it also witnesses a return to what drummer Paul Mazurkiewicz accurately terms "the frenzied attack of BUTCHERED AT BIRTH (1991) or TOMB OF THE MUTILIATED (1992)," infusing the band's advanced musicianship with the raw savagery that haunted their earlier releases, and in the process conceiving the definitive CANNIBAL CORPSE record.
Adds bassist Alex Webster on the outcome of the record: "We're extremely happy with how TORTURE turned out. Erik Rutan did an amazing job with the production, and the songwriting and performances may be our strongest yet. We can't wait until our fans get to hear the whole thing!"
