There is no creature like man; no species that has devoted such careful thought, such ingenuity to the development of methods of inflicting agony. Over the ages we have birthed countless monstrous machines and hellish contraptions, all with the sole purpose of causing pain. Mankind can shame the demonic denizens of hell when it comes to the fine art of cruelty. The screams of the tortured have echoed through the centuries, endless music to the ears of the perverted and demented. And that’s where Strappado comes in…

The ghosts of those broken upon the rack, the spirits of those who have cried for mercy, bound in chains…their desperate pleas dance a twisted waltz to the devilish arias of agony unveiled upon the altar of the band’s upcoming new album Exigit Sincerae Devotionis Affectus.

Born from a ghoulish fascination with the inhumanity of man, Strappado celebrate the unconscionable, the brutality that lurks beyond the shadowy borders of the imagination. The Rack, Death By Sawing, Dislocated By The Rope; each Frankenstein’s monster of riffs and blast beats, sewn together with vicious precision, is a glorification of the most base depravity. The bestial roars will transport you to cold dungeons, the bone-breaking drum battery will pin you to the table of torture, the intricate riffs will methodically dissect your fear wracked body and the murderous bottom end will bludgeon your remains into paste.

When word of these practitioners of perversity reached the stronghold of celebrated death metal label Comatose Music dark agents were swiftly on the wing, searching out the monsters of Strappado and bringing them safely back to the cells. Now the final preparations are complete and Exigit Sincerae Devotionis Affectus is gnawing at the bars. The torturer’s tools are laid out in readiness… it is time to begin.

Exigit Sincerae Devotionis Affectus is set for release on August 9th, and fans of Devourment, Gorgasm, Prostitute Disfigurement or Lividity are strongly advised to get involved…
