Basement Torture Killings...with each passing year, each album released, they just seem to get sicker and sicker. There really is no cure for this kind of murder-obsessed lunacy. If 2017s There’s Something About Beryl pushed you to your limits, then prepare to be taken deeper into the darkness, to a place where the light is just a distant memory. When new album Lessons In Murder imparts its secrets, its eleven lessons in the arts of hunting and killing, maiming and mutilating, the only question will be, will you thrive in the impenetrable blackness, under the rain of blood...or will you die?

 

The Basement Torture Killings murder wagon began rattling along the highways and byways back in 2007, carving out a legend based on terrifying live shows, albums of sickening savagery and rumours of nefarious activities conducted in the shadows. Now they are ready to reveal their most musically accomplished and most unflinchingly brutal album to date. Lessons In Murder looks deep into your head, scraping at your cerebral cortex with its dirty, ragged nails. What draws you to the BTK dungeon, to their tableaus of terror? Are you fantasist or monster? Killer or prey? These new songs, ‘Exercising Your Dominance’, ‘Objectification’, ‘Resolving The Body Problem’ and more, will dissect you with clinical precision...and bludgeon you to a paste with uncontrolled rage if you’re found wanting. This is sick, grinding death metal of soul-shaking intensity that will have you double locking your doors and sleeping with the lights on.

 

Bizarre Leprous production, like peddlers of disease, will be dispensing Lessons In Murder from street corners and through disreputable merchants of filth from 22nd May. If you have a taste for fear, an appetite for blood and a propensity for cruelty...join the queue. And keep one eye on the shadows for the tell-tale glint of blades, barbed wire and teeth.

Some music was meant to stay underground, or so the saying goes – and some music was meant to stay in a filthy basement, knee-deep in gore, knitting a new pair of socks with someone’s entrails. Welcome to the deranged world of Basement Torture Killings...

 

The original line-up of BTK first escaped from their asylums, secure units and maximum security prisons back in 2007. They were drawn together by fate and stayed together due to their mutual interest in death metal, grindcore and killing. They evaded capture long enough to record a demo, an EP and two albums, The Second Cumming, which was released through Arcane Productions in 2011 and the hellish A Night Of Brutal Torture, unleashed by Grindscene Records in 2014.

 

Sadly, while touring in support of that monstrous album, only guitarist Tarquin was sufficiently careful when disposing of the leftovers from his ‘extracurricular activities’, the rest of the band falling prey to the ever zealous police. Tarquin was left to stalk the sewers and cesspits of the world, searching through the ranks of the sick and psychotic for those gifted enough to continue his crusade of metal and barbarity. Eventually he found them...Dr. Krauss, an unlicensed ‘surgeon’ with a bloodlust to match his bass playing. Faceless Killer, a barely controllable beast, only content when battering and bruising drum skins or human skin. And Beryl...wide eyed but far from innocent and perhaps the only creature capable of making her bestial band mates uneasy and uncomfortable. Yes, there’s definitely something about Beryl...

 

So what better title for the latest album from Basement Torture Killings? There's Something About Beryl takes not only the madness to new levels, but the sheer musicality as well. Conscienceless monsters they most certainly are, but BTK can play! You won’t hear a more intense, more terrifyingly convincing slab of death or grind anywhere. Tarquin’s solos tear through these songs like power tools through flesh, the onslaught of the bass and drums is utterly overwhelming and then there’s Beryl – a chilling presence of unfathomable inhumanity and sadistic cruelty, repulsive and yet compellingly enticing. This album is a sickness, as infectious as the plague. This band are unnerving, dangerous and addictive.
