About A TORTURED SOUL

A Tortured Soul began its first Breath of Molten Steel Openining up for Death Metal bands such as Userper and Putrid Pile only 13' Days after they had met.They where bound by the love of an evil craft ,and so they began challenging a dead mid-western metal market with massive halloween festivals the like as none have seen before

Bands from all over the mid-western states played these shows and A Tortured Soul began to build a name for itself as an old school metal sound with a thrash metal influence.Of course lead singer Rick Black's lyric's will always show traces of his black metal roots just as the band compositions will show their molten heavy metal core. Searing guitar leads are the signiture of Nate Gorenc, as well as the rip your head off effect of Stefan Bohls Riffing.

Then there is the new guy Eric Gnant's killer drumming that will pound the shit out of you every time you hear his fast double bass attack, or the massive tones of Wes Tesch and his one of a kind deep dark and crushing bass guitar mastery .

Rick Black is the vocalist who is self trained in the lost art of very ,very high vocals With an extreme range you must experience to believe.

The band released their first CD, 2004's self released Tommorow's Door, unfortunately without much fanfare as their (Now Retired) drummer wished to remain low profile and underground.

Soon the tables of fortune would smile as he was replaced by Eric Gnant and the recording of KISS OF THE THORN was complete. This was to be their Best Recording Ever as they recorded as a band should under the masterful hand of Joel Wanasek at JTW studios.

Upon the interest of a friend from Germany, black metal giant Northern-Silence Records who had interest in the band's first release formed a new label EYES LIKE SNOW for flagship artist A TORTURED SOUL. On September the 28th- 2007 KISS OF THE THORN was released to the audience of the WORLD !! Like a 6000 ton ball bearing rolling off a cliff in the Alps A TORTURED SOUL s Molten Metal ATTACK will never STOP !!Crushing ..killing and Destroying every soul alive or dead.
