X-Torsion
Odio Eterno — Full-Length Album, 12" LP

Short! Fast! Loud! Powerful! Intense! 

X-Torsion is a powerviolence-grindcore crossover band from Barcelona, Spain. They may not so familiar in the SEA hardcore punk scene, but they will rip your ear off! Their music is characterized by aggressive, fast-paced tracks, intense, raw, unpolished sound, tight rhythm and vehement screaming in Spanish. The band's lineup has included members from other acts like Holocaust in Your Head, Apocalyptic Terror, The Capaces, CS-137, E 150, Ansia and countless others. 

Debut album 𑁒 Odio Eterno
X-Torsion’s 2014 debut album 'Odio Eterno' is a ferocious and politically charged entry in the grindcore and powerviolence scene, emerging from Barcelona's vibrant DIY punk community. The album encapsulates the band's raw energy and confrontational ethos.

Odio Eterno delivers a relentless barrage of rapid-fire tracks, each typically under a minute, characterized by aggressive blast beats, distorted guitar riffs, and vehement vocals. The album's sonic assault is complemented by lyrics that tackle themes such as anti-authoritarianism, consumerism, and social injustice. Tracks like "Geografía Imaginaria" and "BCN Turistica" exemplify the band's critique of societal structures and cultural issues. 

While specific critical reviews of Odio Eterno are limited, the album has been acknowledged within the Spanish underground punk and grindcore communities for its intensity and thematic boldness. A subsequent review of their 2017 sophomore album 'Do It Yourhell' notes that X-Torsion made "small but good changes" from their previous album, suggesting that 'Odio Eterno' album laid a solid foundation for their evolving sound. 

True to their DIY roots, X-Torsion recorded Odio Eterno at Trash Zone Studio. Proceeds via La Agonía de Vivir are directed toward animal liberation causes, reflecting the band's commitment to activism. Odio Eterno stands as a testament to X-Torsion's unyielding energy and socio-political engagement. For listeners drawn to the raw edges of punk and grindcore, and who appreciate music with a message, this album offers a compelling and intense experience.
