In 1993, after many successful shows, Torture Squad Independently recorded their first demo tape titled A Soul In Hell which also helped raise their fan base up another level.

Between May and August 2001 Torture Squad are busy with yet another Pummeling recording, which is up-heaved upon their fans later that year The Unholy Spell. It was released in cd as well as a limited edition picture disc of only 200 copies. This album gives Torture Squad a chance to do an entire Brazilian tour. Grin not having enough from their tour with Torture Squad in Germany, they join once again and embark on this tour together, and destroying every stage they take throughout Brazil.
