Like most quality acts, Torture Rack finds that perfect mix of thick, chunky melody and more maniacal segments led by squabbling leads and the bustling percussion of Seth Traver.<\/p>\n<p>These themes continue with the bubbling riff of \u2018Decrepit Funeral Home\u2019, the gory rush of \u2018Forced From The Pit\u2019 and the lethal trio of tracks sandwiched in-between these and the tail end. The brief \u2018Morning Star Massacre\u2019, \u2018Victims Of Inquisitors\u2019 and \u2018Bone Snare\u2019 exhibit all that is good and ghoulish about the dense and catchy Torture Rack sound. The album culminates with four rampant gems in the form of snippet \u2018Fucked By Death\u2019, the old school grind of \u2018Impalement Storm\u2019, the blast beats of \u2018Descent To Infernal Chasms\u2019 and closer \u2018Rotting Insignificance\u2019 which serves up another sick groove.<\/p>\n<p>With nary a track exceeding the four minute mark, Torture Rack\u2019s latest slab of meat is served up simple and bloody and with every intention of choking you to death on its grisly, gristly chunks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Neil Arnold<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TORTURE RACKPrimeval Onslaught 20 Buck Spin (2023)Rating: 8.5\/10 Returning for their third full-length outing, Portland, Oregon-based death metallers Torture Rack provide more of the same bulldozing belligerence which with every skewering solo tightens like razor wire round the throat.
