The tape “Time is But a Doorway to the Incinerator” by Torture Chain has this eerie solemn intro, before transforming into one of the sickest releases of the year. The first pressing via Eternal Summer sold out really quick, and after you hear this 24-minute masterpiece you will know why! Torture Chain has harnessed the ugliness of suffering and cryptic rhythm of nature into a sound that is fucking beyond unreal. Since “Time is But a Doorway to the Incinerator” plays as a single track, I would describe it as a surreal hallway, with many doors that lead to different nightmares of the mind. In this place, Torture Chain’s music is the lantern that guides you towards the flames of the underworld. What stands out to me is the way that this composition has awesome moments of melodic bliss, before turning into all-out punk warfare. Why do I see this ending up on my end of the year list? It’s because it’s such an honest creation. On a personal level, Torture Chain has made a sonic portal that, with each play, takes my imagination to an altered plane of reality. This is a listening experience that I want you to form for yourself, so below you will find the streaming and download link. Now fucking push play, blast “Time is But a Doorway to the Incinerator” and tell me it’s not the shit! DOWNLOAD HERE!!!

Unbelievable, definitely should be seen as a new torch-bearer in the world of American underground black metal.
