This proved to be a new fresh start for Abysmal Torment as they started building up a positive reputation world wide, receiving many encouraging reviews and nothing less than a 3 year album deal with underground label Brutal Bands (US). Their first release under brutal bands was the re-release of Incised Wound Suicide. Musically Abysmal Torment relies on speed stimulated tempos, breakdowns and a dual assault of varying gurgling vocals. A glance at the lyrical content illustrates that there is no ordinary gory mentality at work here and the knowledgeable treatment of the subject matters add more depth to the Abysmal Torment mix. The band had been writing new material since the recording of their MCD and 2005 proved to be no exception but another hard-working year for the band as they came up with 10 brand new tracks which were recorded at Temple Studios (Malta) together with producer/engineer David Vella. This 45 minute assault of aural butchery was to be the bands first full length album entitled EPOCH OF METHODIC CARNAGE, featuring artwork from extremely talented Tony Koehl. The album was released through Brutal Bands in February 2006. This was to be distributed through all major labels in Europe, US and the rest of the world destined to take the band to the next level.
Summer 2006 was a huge dissapointment for Abysmal Torment as we had to cancel our full blown american tour w/BENEATH THE MASSACRE, NEURAXIS and VICTIMAS were we also had festivals such as THE GATHERING OF THE SICK and CENTRAL ILLINIOS METAL FEST. These all had to be cancelled due to circumstances beyond our control!!
We are currently writing new material for our third full lenght release. Be ready for some intense and violent music. Some European tour is also in our plans for 2007 so be on the look out!!!
Until then the band will continue to spread sickness, maim and pummel all horizons…welcome to Abysmal Torment’s world.
Domination Through Impurity (DTI) was formed early in 2004 by Joe Payne (also in Lecherous Nocturne & Lust of Decay) and Jordan Varela (also in Lust of Decay & Lividity). Both musicians had a passion to show their musical tastes through mathematical concepts and theory in the death metal genre. Some big influential factors consist of Meshuggah, Necrophagist, Severed Savior, and few other various individuals. Joe had some great ideas from some prior projects and Jordan happened to see a lot of value in the riffs. Basically, Jordan wanted to take those riffs and let Joe up the intensity to heightened levels. This allowed both musicians to express their talents in areas where they might not totally be able to apply them to their other projects. With the addition of Dan Royer on bass (also in Scapegoat), live shows are even more intetense and brutal. Our main foc us and mission of our endeavors is to show the audience what we can do technically without forgetting groove and captured time. This allows our audience to understand where we are going with each song, and hopefully gain the acceptance of the brutality fans along with the fans that enjoy intricate music. We hope all enjoy the music as much as we gain from playing it. This is just the beginning.
