Pre-Order: Swarm [Colored Vinyl] [Limited Edition] (Aniv) [Reissue] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

Before they became one of Finland's most respected death-metal exports, Torture Killer began as a group of devoted fans paying tribute to the brutal groove of Six Feet Under. Originally performing as a Six Feet Under cover band, the group quickly evolved into something far more powerful. Their crushing riffs and undeniable chemistry eventually caught the attention of Chris Barnes himself-the iconic voice of Six Feet Under and former Cannibal Corpse frontman-who stepped in to handle vocals on their second album, Swarm!Released in 2006 through Metal Blade Records, Swarm! Captured lightning in a bottle: the raw intensity of Finland's underground death-metal scene combined with Barnes' unmistakable, venomous growl. Unlike their early days as a cover act, every track on Swarm! #is original, delivering a relentless barrage of groove-driven death metal. Songs like "Swarm!," "Forever Dead," "Obsessed With Homicide," and "Cannibal Gluttony" showcase the band's ability to fuse punishing riffs, crushing rhythms, and Barnes' signature vocal brutality into a record that feels both classic and viciously modern.The album quickly became a cult favorite among fans of old-school death metal, standing shoulder to shoulder with the swampy heaviness of bands like Six Feet Under, Obituary, and Jungle Rot. For many fans, Swarm! #represents a unique moment in extreme metal history-when a band that started as fans ended up collaborating with one of their heroes to create a brutally effective death-metal album.Now, twenty years after it's original release, Swarm! #returns in a special 20th Anniversary Edition, receiving it's first-ever worldwide retail vinyl pressing.
