Today, black metal cult TORTORUM stream the entirety of their brand-new album, Katabasis - released last week by W.T.C. PRODUCTIONS internationally - on Terrorizer magazine's website. Following on from their celebrated Extinctionist debut, TORTORUM waste little time in upping the ante for inventive, widescreen black metal orthodoxy with Katabasis.
