Headsplit Records brings you the long-awaited CD reissue of Torture Rack's debut album, returning to compact disc for the first time in eight years. This release features 10 crushing tracks of relentless death metal, forged in the blood-soaked chambers of morbidity. A must-have for die-hard headbangers—don't go to your grave without it!
The gore-soaked, pus-oozing debut full-length from this Portland, Oregon-based quartet is a savage tribute to the brutal, ultra-heavy death metal of the early '90s. Their music is a relentless, bone-crushing assault that recalls the glory days of bands like Rottrevore, Decrepit, Morpheus Descends, Imprecation, Goreaphobia, Baphomet, Deteriorot, Execration, and Corpus Rottus—legends who once dominated the foulest pits of the U.S. underground scene. Mastered by Mike Lastra at Smegma Studios with surgical precision, "Barbaric Persecution" preserves the band's raw, organic, and malevolent sound in all its heinous glory. The cover art by Matt Hopkins perfectly encapsulates the album's dark, destructive energy.
