Torture Squad, one of the great Brazilian metal bands, returns to Wacken Open Air, the largest heavy metal festival in the world – which takes place every summer in the surroundings of Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.
The band will perform on Wednesday, July 30th, making Torture Squad the only Brazilian band to play the festival four times. The band performed in 2007, as winners of the Metal Battle, with the Chaos Corporation Tour, in 2008 with the Hellbound Tour, in 2011 with the Aequilibrium Tour and is now taking on the Devilish Tour.
This will be the first time with the new lineup, which features Rene Simionato on guitar and Mayara Puertas on vocals. “2025 will be a big year for us, we are completing 10 years with this lineup and there is nothing more special than celebrating by returning to the largest metal festival in the world!” Mayara comments, “Since I joined the band, it was my goal to get on stage at Wacken, because I know how much this festival contributed to Torture Squad’s career since they were champions of the battle of the bands in 2007. Almost 20 years later, we will return with more energy than ever, very proud to represent Brazilian metal!”
Drummer Amilcar Christófaro comments: “I’m happy that Torture Squad is performing for the fourth time at one of the biggest metal festivals in the world, WOA. I’m also happy for Mayara Puertas and Rene Simionato for having the opportunity to experience the unique atmosphere of this festival together on the tour of one of the most important albums in Torture Squad’s career. And to our fifth member Beto Bisca, who says the more we work, the more our dreams of conquering the world together grow. Wacken Open Air?? Just a warning… Hell Is Coming.”
Wacken Open Air 2025 will take place between July 30th and August 2nd and will feature Guns N’Roses as headliner and bands from different styles and generations, such as Machine Head, Gojira, Within Temptation, Saxon and Grave Digger. Tickets are already sold out.
Torture Squad will soon announce more European tour dates, and will continue to promote their recent album Devilish, available on digital platforms, as well as in CD and LP formats, via Time To Kill Records.
