TORTURED DEMON
‘The future is safe in Tortured Demon’s hands’ - Metal Hammer
​
Since 2018, Tortured Demon have been launching a full-scale assault on the thrash scene. Led by Oldham brothers Jacob and Joe Parkinson, they’ve independently released two albums and appeared on countless shows and tours across the UK and Ireland. Before leaving school, the band performed a now infamous stage-wrecking set at Bloodstock Open Air 2021, appeared on touring packages with UK thrash royalty Evile and Xentrix, and laid the foundations of their second album ‘Rise Of The Lifeless’ - which would later go on to receive critical acclaim from publications including Metal Hammer and Distorted Sound. Combining Thrash riffs and Hardcore breakdowns with technical drums, all whilst maintaining a firm focus on quality songwriting, Tortured Demon aim to breathe a breath of fresh air into the UK metal scene.​
The band have built a loyal live following nationwide thanks to their impressive history of high-octane shows for a band at such an early stage in their career, culminating in their explosive return to Bloodstock in 2023, and 'UK ASSAULT' headline tour in November 2024. This run brought 13 back-to-back shows, including a sold-out hometown show at Rebellion Manchester infront of over 500 fans.

Tortured Demon take the next steps in their ever-accelerating career as they complete their highly anticipated 3rd album, expected to be released in 2025.
