Torture Squad, one of the most renowned bands in Brazilian metal, releases the music video “Murder of a God” Live at Summer Breeze Brasil 2024.
The track was originally released in 1999 on the album ‘Asylum of Shadows’. It is considered as the “embryo”, as it consolidated the band’s composition formula, establishing the musical style and the Torture Squad brand.
The music video was recorded during the performance at the second edition of Summer Breeze Open Air Brasil, mixing never-before-seen behind-the-scenes scenes that show all the band’s feelings at this important show in their career.
This is the first time that a band has released an official music video recorded in the Brazilian edition of the European festival.This release also marks an important phase in Torture Squad, being the first official recording of the song with Mayara Puertas’ vocals.
Mayara Puertas comments on the release: “‘Murder of a God’ is one of my favorite songs in Torture Squad’s entire discography. It brings a message of questioning rebellion that I identify with a lot. In our set, it’s a song that brings a great response from the public, sure to be a moshpit! And that’s what you’ll see in this video, which shows all the energy we experienced at Summer Breeze Brasil”.
“Murder of a God” delivers a new look, with the more modern sound that the band has been delivering, with elements of Thrash/Death and progressive.
Drummer and founder Amilcar Christófaro comments: “Summer Breeze Brasil was epic for Torture Squad. That’s why we documented this moment in the music video. What also moved me was the choice of this song. It’s from the second album, ‘Asylum of Shadows’ , and it represents a lot when Castor [bassist] and I started to get into Torture Squad’s compositions, and hearing it with this new sound is awesome.”
‘Devilish’ is available on digital platforms and in physical version.
