It's a nice thrash album, but isn't that exciting as their masterpiece from '92.

Another fantastic installment from a fantastic band from the late 80s Death/Thrash movement. Thrashes hard throughout, without letting go for a second. Technical riffage and great use of pinch harmonics are both present.

Man the prod waters this down so much compared to the demos. It feels a lot more wankery too, especially the vocals, because you don't have the brutality behind it to compensate. 1 and 5 are still jams but sounded better in their rawer form. I think I'd jam Necropsy over this any day. This is still quality thrash and the riffage is there, even though the sound serves it less. 3.74

The opening song ".44 Caliber Brain Surgery" will shoot you down like the titled weapon with its violent riffs, pummeling drums, and almost sudden change in tempo, and the rest of the album follows in similar yet equally satisfying pursuit. The solos are shockingly melodic for the genre (part thrash, part death), and Steve Reynolds may have one of the best voices in death or thrash period. Not unlike other vocalists of similar musical scope, he shouts and growls, but his voice stands out because they're precise and well pitched, and the gang shouts are icing to the cake. The low budget production is an acquired taste (the vocals and solos really shine though), and the material itself is only partially varied, but Tortured Existence is an all-out assault of brutal thrash/death metal that will satisfy fans of either style.

Phenomenal thrash album with a tinge of death metal thrown in there. The band name is fitting as you get hammered with crushing riffs one after another.

Good stuff. Pretty damn fun and brutal. Great thrash style, not so bad death metal sections.

Heavily underrated, this might not be as ferocious and technical as Epidemic of Violence,
but its darker mood and superb riffs through a consistent album make this a forgotten gem.
