TORTHARRY

The seventh full-length studio album by cult Czech Death Metal band.
Two years after their last creation, Czech Death Metal icon is back with the "Beneath". Tortharry is active on the Czech Metal scene since 1991, when the band transformed itself from its initial formation named Executor, and began its Death Metal crusade with its first demo "Mezi Nebem A Peklem" ("Between Heaven And Hell"). Over the years, Tortharry amassed an extensive discography and contribute to various Metal compilations, including “Tribute To Death”. The band also have an impressive list of live shows, with symbolic peaks being twin concerts in 1998 in the Czech Republic as a support of the genre icon Death, and a South American tour with Gorgoroth and Belphegor in September 2007.
Sharp guitar riffs, unearthly fast drums and the right Death growl build in the space of nine tracks a monumental acoustic “wall of
death”, which then underscores the dreary, even nihilistic, lyrics of individual songs; a parable of motifs, which are not, or should not be, obvious at the first glance. Hidden thoughts, desires, guilt or crimes, plainly all which is concealed beneath the surface of the apparent, are the thematic cornerstone of this album, as its name itself hints. In short: “I want to bite you until you bleed!”
The release includes Bonus Track “Krvavá Práce”, a cover version of the song by a Czech Metal legend, Debustrol, which is not available on the CD version of the album.

The ninth full-length studio album by Czech Death Metal band.
Tortharry are one of the longest running Czech Metal bands, founded back 1991, and almost iconic stalwarts of the Czech Death Metal scene. Their popularity in this country and abroad is based on their clearly defined style, their way above average musicianship, and on their undying enthusiasm for gigging and songwriting. 
They played a lot of live shows on the worldwide festivals and club stages and tours a lot, including gigs with the phenomenal cult band Death, the Brazilian icon Sepultura, as well as a South American tour with Gorgoroth and Belphegor.
Five years since the release of the “Follow” album, during band's 25th anniversary, one of the leading Brutal Death Metal bands from the Czech Republic reaching another milestone and opening a new chapter of its history.
Though Tortharry have now sufficient reputation to allow for experiments in their music, the band stays true to their long-term genre direction, whereby the new album once again offers a motherload of Technical Death Metal.
With "Sinister Species", the band goes around the whole of the country, and again takes part in a number of summer festivals (Kaltenbach Open Air, Gothoom Open Air, Czech Death Fest) and many others.
The album highly recommended for fans of Cannibal Corpse, Suffocation, Napalm Death, and Dying Fetus!
