Torment - Psyclops Carnival

Apesar da discografia relativamente pequena, poucas bandas de psychobilly chegam ao nível do Torment em minha humilde opinião. Esse disco é de 1986 e tem uma das minhas músicas favoritas, a marvilhosa Uncle Sam. 19 faixas de psychobilly old school de primeira grandeza, todas compostas pelo genial Simon Brand, que sabia fazer músicas diferentes da fórmula padrão e que ainda assim soassem psycho, além de dois covers excelentes, de Last Time dos Rolling Stones e Slow Down de Larry Williams. Tenho poucas informações sobre a banda além do suicídio do vocalista / guitarrista, Simon Brand, no começo da década de 90. Soube também que eles voltaram recentemente, mas não sei se ainda compõem / lançam álbuns. De qualquer forma, é um álbum excelente e você não devia falar que gosta de psychobilly se não conhece Torment.

Despite the small discography, I can't think of many psychobilly bands in the same level as Torment. This album was released in 1986 and has one of my favourite songs, uncle Sam. 19 tracks of th purest psychobilly old school you'll ever see, all of them composed by the late great Simon Brand, who had the gift to compose songs that didn't followed the script and still sounded extrmely psycho, plus two covers, Last Time, of the Stones and Slow Down, by Larry Williams. I have little information about the band besides the suicide of the guitarist / vocalist Simon Brand in the early 90s and that their recently reformation, though I'm not sure they're still writing / releasing material. Anyway, a excellent album and you shouldn't be bragging about digging psychobilly if you never heard of Torment.
