The violent and politically motivated slam steel venture Torture, a divisive topic throughout the hardcore world and mainly wherever folks turn out to be conscious of them, turned an atypical Band To Watch for us final yr. In the present day, Torture’s musical mastermind Ok.Ok. is again with information of a sequel to Torture’s debut album Battle Crime: 37 Tracks – 37 Homicides.
The brand new album, due out Nov. 15, is known as Battle Crime 2: Genocide Protocol. It appears the album will pointedly deal with Israel’s genocide in Palestine. Ok.Ok. shared a prolonged assertion of function together with the album announcement, which you’ll be able to learn proper right here:
Hiya everybody! It’s with nice pleasure that I lastly get to announce that the sequel to TORTURE’s first album: “Battle Crime 2: Genocide Protocol” will probably be launched on November fifteenth, 2025.
In the present day is the 2nd anniversary of the October seventh Bloodbath. November fifteenth would be the thirty seventh anniversary of the signing of the Palestinian Declaration of Independence. I spotlight these two dates for a selected purpose: the October seventh Bloodbath is extensively misconstrued to be the “starting of this “conflict””. Many don’t have a look at the underlying concern: Israel has been terrorizing and committing a genocide in opposition to the Palestinians for greater than 70 years now. How do you count on them to not battle again? It’s identical to how 9/11 was used as leverage for the U.S.’s bloodlust in opposition to the Afghan and Iraqi folks. Guess what else the U.S. is funding billions of its residents tax {dollars} into? Historical past will all the time repeat itself. Don’t let your self fall sufferer to their propaganda and lies.
This album is a direct protest to the U.S.’s involvement within the genocide of the Palestinian folks. It’s a cry to place an finish to the genocide, and an finish to the IOF’s apartheid. 50% of proceeds from every of the three albums on Bandcamp will probably be donated to Medical doctors With out Borders and the PCRF (Palestine Youngsters’s Reduction Fund).
It consists of three “Acts”, every similar to a significant e-book of the Christian bible: “I. Genesis”, “II. Exodus”, and “III. Revelation”. They are going to be separate releases.
The primary act is absolutely composed, very like “4 – Enduring Freedom”, besides with heaps extra twists and turns than final time.
The second act is absolutely improvised, very like TORTURE’s first three albums. It’s based mostly across the Al-Tabaeen Faculty Assault, which occurred on August tenth, 2024. Greater than 80 Palestinians had been killed, and 47 extra had been injured.
And at last, the third act can also be absolutely composed, nevertheless it’s a shorter integral serialist piece for chamber orchestra, impressed by the works of Anton Webern, Pierre Boulez, and Morton Feldman. It mirrors “Exhibit B” and “Enduring Freedom” by closing with a classical piece.
Trying ahead to listening to what everybody thinks in a month! Till then: free Palestine & fuck the IOF! 🇵🇸
