On “Total Teutonic Torso”, DEATH WHORE, power-trio from Nancy (France), push their penchant for excess and irony, describing an abject and brutal world dominated by violence, sadism and opportunistic gratification, in a crossover between the violence of hardcore and the heaviness of death metal, in the most exuberant way.
Recorded, mixed and mastered at Studios de la Forge by Pierre “Gorgor” Schaffner, also the band’s drummer, this four-track EP (including one in French) sees the arrival of a new member: Antoine Duffour, taking over from Pat Mulot as bassist. Led on vocals and guitar by Fabien W. Furter, DEATH WHORE finds with “Total Teutonic Torso” a way to develop the groove and violence of the previous EP on more wild and raw territories.
In March 2023, Death Whore decided to remix and remaster “Total Teutonic Torso” EP, as the “Definitive Version” :
“We thought that the initial version of the EP was good and had its charms, but did not have the sound we wanted. So we remixed and remastered the EP and the result is very significant: the sound is much closer to how we sound live, which really does justice to the songs. It was very important for us to deliver to the listeners the real thing and to release the best EP we could do. We consider this version as the definitive. We hope you’ll like it as much as we do !”

With seven tracks packed into a twenty-minute aggression, this first self-titled EP was recorded, mixed and mastered in the crushing heat of summer 2019 at Pierre Schaffner’s Les Studios de la Forge. The EP is completed by an evocative and striking artwork by Szymon Siech.
