Torture Rack - Barbaric Persecution

Review by Pinky Manganyi

Barbaric Persecution by Torture Rack is an album that is not for the faint of heart. The band has created a brutal and unrelenting assault on the senses with this release. The album is filled with fast and aggressive riffs, thunderous drums, and guttural vocals that will leave listeners feeling like they've been beaten to a pulp.

From the opening track "The Scaffold" to the closing notes of "Revelations of the Black Flame," Torture Rack doesn't let up for a second. The band's sound is heavily influenced by old school death metal, with nods to bands like Morbid Angel and Death. However, they have added their own twist to the genre, creating a sound that is uniquely their own.

The production on Barbaric Persecution is raw and unpolished, which only adds to the album's intensity. The guitars have a thick and heavy tone, while the drums sound like they were recorded in a concrete bunker. This gives the album a sense of authenticity that is often lost in modern metal recordings.

Summary by Pinky Manganyi

While Barbaric Persecution may not be for everyone, fans of extreme metal will find plenty to love on this album. Torture Rack has created a release that is sure to satisfy even the most jaded metalhead. This is a band that is not afraid to push the boundaries of what is considered acceptable in metal, and for that, they should be commended.
