Philipson (THE PROJECT HATE, GOD AMONG INSECTS, ex-LEUKEMIA), bassist/vocalist Jörgen Sandström (VICIOUS ART, The Project Hate, ex-ENTOMBED, GRAVE) and drummer Tobias "Tobben" Gustafsson (VOMITORY), have issued the following update:

"Oh yes, 2009… another year in the name of Torture.

Hope you guys had some nice holidays and all, not that we give a shit but it sounds nice to put it like that.

We just thought we should let you know that we are now gearing up for the 2 coming gigs we have booked in February, 2009. Yeah, we know… it’s like 1 and a half months until those happen but it’s always great to have some update from your fave band, right?

First off we have the gig at the Close Up Boat coming up. You can find all the details needed at www.closeupmagazine.net but let us just inform you that we play the 13th of February around 1:40 PM. Make sure to be there, drunk and full of hell, and make this gig something we can always remember with a huge smile.

After that we go to Umeå, Sweden and the fantastic House Of Metal festival where we will play on the 27th of February. Check out their site to know exactly when we enter the stage coz we aren’t sure about that yet, haha…

We are looking forward so much to these 2 gigs it’s not even sane. We might also have a third gig coming up but it’s too early to reveal anything about that right now so just stay tuned.

We ended 2008 with a bang considering we gave you a killer x-mas single and the third chapter in our first trilogy. You can find everything for free download at this site. 2009 will most probably give you trilogy number 2 coz that’s what we are aiming for. More free music in the shape of the world’s best death metal. We know, we know… we are truly fantastic.

So, we are looking forward to see you on at the upcoming gigs. In the meantime; torture each other and have a nice start of the new year. Ok then, have a nice 2009 in its entirety.

As you were, bitches."
