Torture The Artist – “Self Titled” (Kid Tested Records)

Torture The Artist is a three piece super band of sorts with singer and guitarist Jorge Orillac, Mass Giorgini on Bass and back vocals, & Dan Lumley on Drums and Tambourine. All being mixed, mastered, produced, and recorded at Mass Giorgini’s studio the infamous Sonic Iguana.

  I don’t know if my expectations were too high, but I can’t get into this album at all. Musically of course this albums is stellar, it’s just the vocals are overly melodic or “sung” too much. The best comparison I can make with the style of Torture the Artist would be that of Millicolin. This album really has the same sound and tempo of The Millencolin album; “Pennybridge Pioneers”. Really the vocals just don’t do anything for me and just make the songs very mainstream rock sounding and none of the songs do anything to pull me in or make any of them memoriable.
