Rising slam band Torture have abruptly cancelled their upcoming shows, including a Houston, Texas date with Corpse Pile, and released an update on Instagram.
Here's what they said:
just a quick update:
my touring members had to step away from the band, due to many different factors. i wish them all the absolute best, i love them so much, and sincerely hope their decision results in the bettering of their lives + well-being.
They also added this:
that being said, i'm currently looking for new members. this is not the end, i WILL continue no matter what. it's extremely disappointing to have to cancel this month's dates, but we will hopefully be back next month. i'm so sorry to anyone who wanted to see us these upcoming weeks, this came as a shock to me as well. i love you all so much. WE WILL BE BACK !!!!!!!
Coming from seemingly nowhere, Torture quickly gained attention on social media with their unique vocal style and chugging slam riffs. They are an outwardly anti-imperialist band, with the majority of their merchandise attempting to raise awareness of US war crimes in the Middle-East.
Initially conceived as an internet project, their drummer and sole initial member found a full backing band to accompany him on tour. Since then, they've played with bands like 200 Stab Wounds, Knocked Loose, and even at festivals like Sound and Fury.
It is unclear why the touring members stepped away at this time.

Post CommentPalestine is occupied, not even an airport to fly into.. nice little cornering of you to show how much of a useless c*nt you are. Go tour Israel and top yourself ^
Imagine being so stupid that you actually think this band is good.
Probably has something to with the song writer being a douche bag fundamentalist
I love seeing this dude succeed cause I know how mad it makes every fat nerd f*ck from the Midwest who thinks their shit band should be the next big thing
Weird hype push for a band that sounds exactly the same as every other band. f*ck off sheep
why do people dickride this shit like he invented slam? this shit is awful and sounds like 200 other bands that came before it.
I love seeing this dude succeed cause I know how mad it makes every fat nerd f*ck from the Midwest who thinks their shit band should be the next big thing Look at willowtip records back catalog and then with a straight face that this derivative ripoff is the 'next big thing'

0-0-0-0-0000-0-0-0-0-0000-0 repeat x 64 Ok I'm in bros!!!
the band and its " anti-imperialist" woke agenda is a farce. who made his drums, clothing, microphone? how about the oil and gas in his mom's car that he used to drive all of that foreign shit to the show? get dead. also, what is a "slam" band? c'mon- enough with the gimmick labels.
Toby Morse looks like such a weird and sad dude. You have silver teeth and you're 55 years old.
also, what is a "slam" band? c'mon- enough with the gimmick labels. Found the f*cking retard.
whats going on with that shirt sleeve? Real tree camo long sleeve under a t shirt alert ⚠️ 📢
Get a new singer. Band is trash. Something about Palestine.
^willowtip puts out dragonforce/deafheaven worshipping mall metal Lol this couldn't be more inaccurate. Willowtip had bands like necrophagist, wormed, gigan, psycroptic, spawn of possession, and commit suicide. But sure, those bands are deafhaven worship
I'm sure the reason they all left is not bc the guy was a control freak asshole
Go play in the middle east see if they f*cking care about YOU. Assholes
It's pretty obvious that this guy is a complete jackass if everyone decides to leave him and his generic no talent chugging white supremist band
Only requirement is hating jews. You don't even need to know how to play guitar
Professor willowtip check out their signing IONS and you will turn into a girl
Like lurkcity, this dude is super autistic and causes people to struggle to be around him for more than a minute or two. But at least this dude has talent.
The moment I saw that bargain bin bassist in a urban outfitters Metallica shirt and smiling while playing bass I knew he was going to quit. Dude used you to play big shows because he could never do it on his own.
Oh yeah I'd love to perform your bedroom slam death tracks note for note while sleeping in a smelly van and making less than minimum wage and having Taco Bell for dinner every night
still no clue what this slam shit is. Is that what millennials call thrash?
The one time i saw this band the other members had to break all of "K.K's" gear down and load it all while he went and smoked weed with the other bands. clearly that situation didnt last
