REMNANTS OF TORTURED Chainsaw CD

Released in June 2019 by Splatter Zombie Records, the album Chainsaw by the Mexican band Remnants of Tortured is a focused and punishing example of modern slamming goregrind. Unlike their earlier, more sprawling work, this specific release is comprised of exactly 10 tracks with a total runtime of approximately 28 minutes. The album represents a refinement of the band's stomp style, maintaining a heavy emphasis on mid-tempo, rhythmic grooves—often referred to as German style goregrind while incorporating crushing death metal elements that highlight the band's technical growth. The tracklist for this 2019 release includes titles such as The Deformed, Necrorgy, Drowned by Ejaculation, The Great Collapse, and the standout Unglory Hole, which features guest appearances from Omar Garcia and members of the band Scrotoctomy. Musically, the album is defined by its massive, down-tuned guitar tone and gurgling, pitch-shifted vocals that create a dense and suffocating atmosphere. By keeping the album to a concise 10-track format, the band ensured a high-impact listening experience that avoids filler, focusing instead on the bouncing riffs and mechanical drum patterns that have made them a staple in the international goregrind community. This record further solidified the strong relationship between the Mexican underground scene and the German extreme metal market, showcasing a high level of production quality for the genre.
