About
Few metal bands from South America have pushed as hard internationally as Torture Squad, the São Paulo death and thrash metal outfit that has been grinding since 1990. Their breakthrough came with Asylum of Shadows in 1999, and from there they kept escalating: a win at the Wacken Battle of the Bands in 2007 landed them a German record deal and cemented their reputation far outside Brazil. They went on to play Wacken Open Air three times, making them the only Brazilian band to do so. Their 2013 concept album Esquadrão de Tortura was a sharp left turn, a Portuguese language record examining Brazil's military dictatorship era in chronological order. More recently the band released The Fallen Ones in 2022, and they have kept a loyal following on both sides of the Atlantic.
