Biography

BEFORE THE TORN aren't just another Portuguese band. Their trademark style full with energy makes them a reference for the likes of heavy music listeners.
Since the band's birth in 2004, they went through several line-up changes. However, their members never lost their consistency and have always thrived as a band, and as musicians. In June 2008, after a few months spent writing songs, they recorded "BURYING SAINTS", the debut album, recorded at Ultra Sounds Studios in Braga (Portugal). The album was produced, mixed and mastered by Daniel Cardoso, one of the greatest musical producers in Portugal. It features 12 songs filled with intensity and feelings, which certainly won't leave anyone holding any doubts regarding the value of this Lisbon-based band.

The heavy sound that is the calling card of BEFORE THE TORN was born from the passion their elements have for extreme music, always trying to break the boundaries of a country that is still narrow-minded towards this type of music. With great live performances, including opening acts for bands such as Converge and August Burns Red in 2008, this band is in the spotlight right now, which allows them to have a very solid fan base.

"BURYING SAINTS" is an album which comprises passionate screaming lyrics, brutal guitar riffs and technically advanced drumming. Altogether, this may very well be one of the greatest albums for the Portuguese music scene in 2009.

Now in 2010, with new album being recorded, something heavy and never seen is becoming alive. Keep aware for upcoming events.
