Santa Cruz, California-based death metal squad TORTURE HAMMER today infiltrates the population with their cruel, eponymous second EP, out now on Creator-Destructor Records.
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).

TORTURE HAMMER just completed their first ever West Coast tour supporting All Shall Perish which was followed by a show with Mammoth Grinder, Iron Front, and Leer. Expect further tour developments to be announced shortly.
