Cult of Daath - The Grand Torturers of Hell (2005)


‘The Grand Torturers of Hell’ was originally released on War Hammer records back in 2001 in the limited amount of six hundred and sixty sixty copies. Five years ago, Deathgasm records felt the album needed a re-release and after hearing the album I’m quite happy they did. This new version features a new color cover, a slightly altered track listing and one bonus song called, ‘Terror Command’ (the booklet may be different as well).

Cult of Daath play black metal in the purist way available and that’s raw black metal with intense hatred and much pain involved. The music generally blows the listener away in a speedy typical raw black metal style with lots of groovy rocking & mid paced sections included. The bands definitely influenced by the likes of Darkthrone ('91-'95), Celtic Frost/Hellhammer and maybe even Beherit and Blasphemy. There’s more than enough tremendous head banging moments in the recording and there are lots of other ferocious brutal parts to keep you entertained for the thirty plus minutes that the album runs. So don’t expect any surprises or anything new, this is old school raw black metal done the right way.
