Austin, Texas-based blackened speed metal unit SADISTIC FORCE are proud to release their ferocious new single "Portrait of Torment" taken from their upcoming EP, 'Morbid Odyssey,' due out August 22nd. The brutal new NSFW video below!

"Portrait of Torment" features a synth intro and guitar solo by Mark Pursino of Electrocutioner and arrives alongside a full narrative NSFW music video premiering on Metal Sucks featuring Indira Starr (Minnie's Midnight Massacre) and was shot by Pennyrock Productions (Bloody & Bruised), available to view below.

SADISTIC FORCE comments on the single:

"The synth intro to ‘Portrait Of Torment’ and the guitar solo were both performed by Mark Pursino from NYC thrash trio Electrocutioner. He based the feel of his contributions off the lyrics, which portray the twisted thoughts of a serial killer who believes that his victim’s mangled bodies are his canvas and he is an artist who creates beauty through murder. In typical SADISTIC FORCE fashion, the song draws from a wide array of riff driven influences, from black metal to classic rock."

Mark Pursino comments on his contribution:

"James asked me to do a solo for 'Portrait of Torment' and simply told me, ‘The lyric right before the solo section is 'Crescendo of blood I must create.’ Then he said if I felt inspired by it, he wouldn't mind a synth intro either. We did the synth intro on 'Midnight Assassin' and I loved the idea of keeping that thread going with the synth. After reading the lyrics and hearing the demo, it reminded me of the novel Perfume, where a man with a supernatural sense of scent ends of murdering a girl who smelled the most beautiful. I just envisioned some distinguished gentleman chopping up some wonderful ladies and the synth intro is my imagining of what he listens to while he dissects them. I combined a mysterious arpeggio with some type of respirator/breathing tube sound effect to make it feel a inhuman and disconnected. The solo actually came to me pretty fast. There's a few changes in rhythm underneath it so I wanted to have different voices.”

'Morbid Odyssey' is SADISTIC FORCE's most refined and punishing work yet. Mixed and mastered by Noah Buchanan (Nunslaughter, Midnight) at Mercenary Studios, the five-track EP showcases SADISTIC FORCE at their most ferocious and focused. Featuring blistering guest solos from Matteo Von Bewitcher (Bewitcher), Tony Rot, and Mark Pursino (Electrocutioner), the EP stands as a testament to their deep roots in traditional heavy metal, thrash, and extreme metal brutality.

Thematically, 'Morbid Odyssey' plunges into psychedelic necromancy, artistic serial killers, satanic vengeance, and BDSM-driven nightmares, all set to a backdrop of unrelenting speed and power. From the eerie, drug-fueled visions of the title track to the witch-trial revenge fantasy of "Abnormal Cruelties," the EP burns with dark, cinematic storytelling and a razor-sharp edge.

On the new EP, the band comments:

"SADISTIC FORCE isn’t just another modern metal band—we’re a high-octane resurrection of metal’s golden era, dripping with raw energy, virtuoso musicianship, and a commitment to keeping heavy metal loud, fast, and unapologetically sinister. Our upcoming release, 'Morbid Odyssey,' is our most refined and punishing yet."

With 'Morbid Odyssey,' SADISTIC FORCE is setting their sights on domination—and they're ready to take on any label bold enough to unleash their fury on the world.

Meant to be listened to on 8-track in a '75 Camaro while passing a hash pipe and sipping beer from a pull-tab can, SADISTIC FORCE is the band who will restore the adjective "heavy" to metal music. Emerging from the dark heart of Austin, Texas, they deliver a blistering assault of blackened speed metal infused with old-school heavy metal spirit. Led by James Oliver(guitar/vocals), the band channels the raw intensity of classic acts Judas Priest, Motörhead, and the New Wave of British Heavy Metal while injecting the relentless aggression of extreme metal.

Formed in late 2020, SADISTIC FORCE began as Oliver's vision of unfiltered, high-energy heavy metal-built on speed, attitude, and a horror-infused aesthetic. What started as a solo project quickly evolved into a full-throttle force of nature, as rock'n'roll bassist Mike Gupta and extreme metal powerhouse drummer JP Campo completed the lineup. The result? A band that seamlessly fuses vintage metal riffs, lightning-fast rhythms, and blackened vocals into a sonic onslaught that's as nostalgic as it is modern.

SADISTIC FORCE are:

James Oliver - Guitar/Vocals

Mike Gupta - Bass

JP Campo - Drums

Today, Austin, Texas-based blackened speed metal unit SADISTIC FORCE unleash their new single, "Strike After Strike," the second track revealed from their upcoming EP, 'Morbid Odyssey,' due out August 22nd. The single arrives alongside a lyric video, available to view below.

"Strike After Strike" features a blistering guest guitar solo from Matteo Von Bewitcher of the satanic speed metal band Bewitcher.

On the new track, SADISTIC FORCE comments:

"'Strike After Strike' is the spiritual successor to 'Strike Of The Iron' off of our debut album. The nonstop intensity of 'Strike After Strike' showcases the development of the SADISTIC FORCE sound. Matteo Von Bewitcher adds his signature guitar sound in a blistering guest guitar solo that meets the barreling barrage of riffs head on."

Matteo Von Bewitcher adds:

“Back in December, Bewitcher played a one-off show in Austin with Sadistic Force. The show went great, and that night James asked me to do a solo on their new record. I got home, knocked it out, sent it over, and they were into it. Later, I ran into Mike on tour, and he told me that track was their Judas Priest 'Painkiller' moment. That hit home, Bewitcher has songs like that too, so it was cool to be part of it. Shout out to the homies—can’t wait to hear the full record and see them hit the road.”
