Infernal Torment: "Man's True Nature" also re-released in CD and red LP

After totally selling out, in just a few weeks, the previously announced three different colours LP reissues (yellow, green and black), "Man's True Nature", Infernal Torment infamous opus, will now get new formats on the official release date: 29th January 2020. An aptly blood-red vinyl LP (300 copies, hand-numbered) and a CD (limited to 500 units) are the new chosen formats to complete the reissue of this dirty motherfucker of a classic death metal album, on it's 25th anniversary!  “Man’s True Nature”, INFERNAL TORMENT’s debut album, was ahead of its time in 1995. Recorded by a band whose members, later on, went to join the ranks of Illdisposed and Dawn Of Demise, it was received with awe and shock by the death metal community. To commemorate its 25th anniversary, it was released in vinyl for the first time via Emanzipation Productions on December 18th 2020, sold exclusively via Targetshop.dk. Now, the blood-red vinyl LP, the CD and the digital versions will get an official worldwide release on January 29th 2021. “Man’s True Nature” was recorded in the summer of 1995 at the legendary Borsing Studio with producer Jan Borsing (Illdisposed etc.), who captured the perfect brutal death metal sound Infernal Torment was looking for, deeply inspired by US bands like Suffocation. Jakob Batten, guitarist and composer, recalls from the studio session “We wanted to make an album that made Cannibal Corpse look like the Pet Shop Boys. The keyword was BRUTALITY. We used a bass amp for the guitars in an attempt to make it all deeper and oompf. It was a hot summer back in 1995 and we were recording in a dark cellar with no windows, no daylight in sight. In Scott’s words: It’s more brutal to be pale...!”.  "Man's True Nature" will be released in vinyl (blood-red LP, limited to 300 copies, hand-numbered), CD (limited to 500 copies) and digital on January 29th 2021. Pre-orders here. In 1995, after two well-received demos, Infernal Torment released their debut album “Man’s True Nature”. Besides the rabid and aggressive take on death metal, the album release was marked by the countless problems the cover artworks caused the Danish band, being banned practically everywhere. Tim Lynge, promoter at now closed-down Diehard Records, who originally released the album on CD back in in 1995 recalls “Calling the guys to inform about interviews, asking for tour dates etc., was like talking to angels in disguises. First, and as always, the cover which was censored in various countries was an eye opener, but the music spoke for itself. Didn’t take long for fans and media to discover that. As Headfucker Magazine’s, Raffaella Guerini, so truly said: “Hard to believe those little Beasts are so young!” ...and hit’em with yet a 10 out of 10. Youngsters who managed to create a little cute, but mature Beast. Not only impressive, BRILLIANT!”. Scott Jensen, Infernal Torment’s vocalist and today in Dawn Of Demise, comments about the album and the artwork “Back then we just wanted to play some brutal death metal and we wanted the lyrics to reflect that. I guess they turned out a bit too exaggerated/graphical. I like that. And the cover fits that “concept” perfectly”.  Infernal Torment went on to record and release the more melodic and complex follow-up album, “Birthrate Zero” in 1998, and shortly after disbanded, with key members joining bands such as Illdisposed and Dawn Of Demise. However, “Man’s True Nature” remains one of the ugliest and most non compromising brutal albums in the history of Scandinavian death metal! And now it will finally be available on LP for the first time ever on the 18th December exclusively through targetshop.dk after a huge demand from death metal fans worldwide.  Recording line up: Steffan Larsen - bass Poul Winther - lead guitars  Jacob Hansen - guitars  Martin Boris - drums  Scott Jensen - vocals  Webshop Buy Now
