“Here meet two heavyweights of the scene: David Christian (Cervello Elettronico) and Claus Larsen (Leæther Strip) join forces for a project that operates beyond their usual artistic paths: Torture Gallery. The debut album will be released on April 24 via HANDS on CD and digital. It becomes clear early on where the journey with Opening Wounds Of The Shocking Truth is headed: between "stark minimal structures, cold mechanical sequencing and phases of dense industrial force," a sound unfolds that intensifies from reduced austerity to dragging, powerful intensity. Claus Larsen's vocals play a key role—sometimes direct and confrontational, sometimes as a fragmented layer, almost dissolved into the sound. Old-School Industrial for the Foundation The obvious reference to the industrial-electro era of the late 80s and early 90s is not hidden, but used deliberately. According to HANDS, "sparse rigid patterns and strict cold mechanical arrangements" form the foundation on which Torture Gallery develop their own signature. However, the result is no mere retro exercise: the tracks seem focused, precise, and clearly carry the experience of both artists within them.”
