Archaic Bloodshed heralds the powerful resurgence of Embodied Torment, California’s stalwarts of brutal death metal. This three-song EP delves deeper into darkness and atmosphere, channeling grim historical atrocities through a relentless sonic barrage. Drawing from a broad spectrum of extreme metal influences, the band fuses savage death metal with haunting elements reminiscent of funeral doom and black metal, creating a complex and immersive experience. Since their inception in 2012, Embodied Torment has earned comparisons to genre pioneers like Disgorge, Brodequin, and Defeated Sanity. Now revitalized after years of silence, the lineup features seasoned veterans Andrew Smith, Mark Chandler, and Alex Cohen alongside founding guitarist Joaquin Chavez, delivering a masterclass in brutal, atmospheric death metal.
