Tormentor Tyrant “Excessive Escalation of Cruelty”

Label: Everlasting Spew · Year: 2025

Tormentor Tyrant is a relatively new underground project from Finland, and this is their first full-length album. The band consists of members from Corpsessed and Cataleptic, and they play full-throttle European-style death metal.

The riffs are mostly built around mid-to-fast-paced rhythm guitars, while the vocals are aggressive and raspy growls—I actually liked what the vocalist was going for on this album. It’s not the most innovative underground death metal release, but I couldn’t find any reason why a death metal fan wouldn’t enjoy it.

Maybe if they had brought in a completely unhinged lead guitarist, the album could have been even more fun.
