Tortured Demon

Tortured Demon is a thrashcore metal band hailing from Oldham, United Kingdom, led by brothers Jacob and Joe Parkinson since their formation in 2018. Known for fusing the relentless energy of classic thrash with modern songwriting, the group has quickly established itself in the UK metal scene. With a line-up completed by Rory Marsland-Smith on guitars and Lewis Bridges on bass, Tortured Demon’s live performances have elevated them to headline status, earning praise from major outlets such as Metal Hammer for their maturity and intensity on stage.

In May 2025, Tortured Demon headlined The Key Club in Leeds, delivering a powerful set that underscored their standing as a formidable live act. Their commitment to live music is mirrored in their consistent touring history, which includes headline tours across the UK and a standout sold-out show at Rebellion Manchester. Tortured Demon's reputation as a live force was initially built through slots alongside bands such as Evile and Xentrix, as well as their appearance at Bloodstock 2021.

Their discography continues to evolve, with the 2023 album "Rise Of The Lifeless" marking a significant creative progression and adding to a run of independently released records like "In Desperation's Grip". As they prepare to release a highly anticipated third album in partnership with BLKIIBLK / Frontiers Label Group, Tortured Demon remain a name to watch for fans of metal and live gigs.
