Bloodstock 2021 Countdown - 30 Bands Not To Miss : 15. Tortured Demon

What were you doing in your mid-teens? I was playing dungeons and dragons, listening to Marillion and categorically not having sex. If you want to feel like you wasted your teens then go see Tortured Demon on the Jager stage on Thursday. They are young, very young (14-16). They make Alien Weaponary look like they need bath chairs and Werther's Original. Hailing from Oldham and consisting of the Parkinson brothers and school friend Freddie Meadon, They are overflowing with potential. Their debut “In Desperation’s Grip” emerged earlier this year and was a potent mix of thrash riffs and metalcore-esque song structures. They over arching feeling is one of portent, if they are doing this what the hell are they capable of when they reach their early twenties. So if you want to have a "I was there when!" story up your sleeve, the Jagermeister stage, thursday afternoon will be the place to be!
