ORTURE HAMMER: Santa Cruz Death Metal Squad To Release Eponymous EP Via Creator-Destructor Records On October 24th; Title Track, Preorders, And Tour Dates With All Shall Perish Posted
Stream TORTURE HAMMER’s “Torture Hammer” HERE.
Santa Cruz, California-based death metal squad TORTURE HAMMER will attack the population with their cruel, eponymous second EP through Creator-Destructor Records on October 24th.
After writing and releasing 2024’s Dormant Horror debut EP as a two-piece, TORTURE HAMMER vocalist Peter Pawlak and guitarist Sean Collins added drummer Max Mahmood (Iron Front, Manos De Fierro) and bassist Amir Sahabi (Caveman). With this fully fleshed-out lineup in place, the band stepped-up their game in every way on Torture Hammer.
The six tracks on Torture Hammer see the band’s attack fueled with even more aggression and antagonism, delivering their most deadly material to date. Torture Hammer was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Charles Toshio at Panda Studios in Fremont, California (Spy, Sunami, and Scowl) and completed with cover art by Martyrdoom Illustrations (200 Stab Wounds, Kruelty, Morbid Visionz).
The title track acts as the lead single to the eponymous EP; an endless onslaught of headbanging riffs leads the listener through a hellish scene before culminating in a traumatic, mosh-inducing breakdown finale.

Torture Hammer will be released on 12” vinyl, CD, and digitally on October 24th. Preorders are live at the Creator-Destructor webshop HERE and Bandcamp HERE.
