Tormenta started with Dhai(drums) Lai (guitar) wanting to form a
band playing the music of the greats such as, Metallica, Megadeth,
Slayer, Sepultura, etc. Practicing with other local metal bands like
Locura and Serenity Dies, the search for lead guitarist, bass and
vocals was on. Various musicians jammed with them but never clicked
with the duo. Mabi(guitar) joined the band through the help of
Chippe'(Serenity Dies), sharing the same dream as Lai n Dhai, Tormenta
grew strong. All the while Mu-k(Locura drummer) did vocals for a few
practice sessions just for the fun it. At the time A.D(Phormentera) was
filling in for vocals and only the position of bass was open. Bringing
in the heavily Iron maiden influenced Riley(Ex-Delirium XIII Bassist)
into a heavier, faster music, Tormenta started to practice for their
first debut show(Anti-drug campaign show june 29th, 2006) with Mu-k as
guests to play covers of Sepultura. On stage when Mu-k went up, it felt
right and the rest of the band felt that this was the beginning of
TORMENTA.
Concentrating mostly on covers from many different bands,
Tormenta made it a point to renew their repertoire for each show. The
idea of originals was always there but to make the connections with
each member stronger these thoughts were put to a halt through the
first year. The views of genre in music Tormenta was to make was never
a question although each band members thoughts were different. Dhai
bringing in Slayer influenced drum works, Lai and mabi creating
notorious riff works n solos of that of Metallica, Megadeth and Lamb of
god. Riley bringing in the grinding bass lines influenced by Iron
Maiden and to top it up, Mu-k created his Sepultura sound to front the
band Tormenta’s music would b described as NEW AGE THRASH METAL. But
from the start of 2008, due to the lack of practice room and other
reasons Tormenta had to take a break and this delayed the album work.
working with limited resources the album release is to be expected soon
