Torture Killer - For Maggots to Devour (2003)

    The forming of Torture Killer was mainly inspired by Six Feet Under. Even though they tried to form their own style, they didn't go far from their main influence and kept playing groovy death metal.
   The main features remained, but the imaginations and songwriting abilities of Torture Killer showed more diversity that their masters did. The lyrics also went sometimes further than the narrating listing of synonyms vs very simple and immature lyrics that were so common at Six Feet Under. "For Maggots to Devour" sounds more insane and authentic the same time. That's because they always payed attention to keep a certain level of intensiveness to not collapse into some retired monotone speed and repetition. The debut also includes the starting push of a young band. That's responsible for the intensity they strated with and for their raw themes that were piled up in the second part of the album. Some sort of black, grotesque humor is also hiding behind their musical expression of dissection, mutilation, butchery and insanity. Altogether "Maggots to Devour" was a stunning and promising start that gave a new shade to the groovy style of death.
