Bio
Brutal outfit Crux ov Torment manifest a demonic sound comprised of blackened death metal injected with the high intensity of thrash, drama of doom, and momentum of groove death. Based
out of Buffalo, NY, founding members Jose Ortiz and Will Burtis share a musical history having performed together in the early 2000s. Fast forward to the summer of 2019, Ortiz and Burtis
reconnected and the foundations of Crux ov Torment were laid.
In spring of 2022, the duo recruited The Agonist’s drummer Simon McKay to record drums on their debut album, In the Name of Suffering, which was released in July of 2024.
Drawing influences from the likes of Rotting Christ, Behemoth, Lamb
of God, Metallica, and Fear Factory, the band seek to craft their own distinctive sound and avoid falling into genre constraints. Each work they produce carries its own identity ranging from
anguish-fueled, guttural onslaughts to riff-focused, rhythmic assaults.
