Tormentor was brought to existence over a decade ago, more precisely
in the beginning of 1987.
The band has done two demos, namely: The 7th Day of Doom
and Anno Domini. Both were recorded in 1988.
Anno Domini was also recorded as an album.
Tormentors vocalist Attila Csihar, whos now quite famous
for his insane and inhuman way of using his voice, was later asked
to do the vocals on Mayhems then long awaited De Mysteriis
Dom Sathanas album. Tormentor was also offered a deal on Euronymous
cult label Deathlike Silence Productions, but due to a lot of difficulties
it was delayed and for obvious reasons the deal between Tormentor
and DSP never happened in the end.
NAP managed after a while to get hold of the original DAT master
to Anno Domini, and was kindly granted the exclusive
rights for the recording by Mr. Csihar.
NAP put out the Anno Domini album in 1995.
It was also put out on limited edition LP (in co-operation with
Head Not Found) and on limited edition picture disc (in co-operation
with American label The Ajna Offensive). The band itself did actually
split it in 1991, but was later reformed.
Their latest effort was released via Avantgarde Music. Tormentor
is by many seen as of one the most unique and legendary bands of
the obscure underground scene. Anno Domini is a true
classic for sure!
