…For the record… 

BTK (Bind Torture Kill) is a chaotic hardcore trio from Lyon, France, formed in 2010. Consisting of a drummer, guitarist, and screamer, the band originally started with a bassist but transitioned into a trio in 2015 after several lineup changes. Known for their love of heavy, chaotic sound, BTK delivers intense performances with French lyrics often narrating the grim tales of serial killers and violent crimes.

In 2013, they self-released their debut EP, and in 2015, they followed up with their first album, Condamné. By 2018, their second album, Viscères, was released through WOOAAARGH! (Germany), Troffea (France/Switzerland), and Hell-J Industries (France). With Viscères, the band’s sound took on a heavier edge, using a guitar setup routed through three amps—two guitar amps and a bass amp enhanced with an octaver pedal to create a more massive, dense sound. 

Over time, their style shifted from a blend of death and mathcore to a darker, chaotic hardcore infused with punk, crust, grind, and black metal influences.

In 2023, BTK recorded their third album, Sauvagerie, at Warmaudio in Décines, with mastering handled by Nick Zampiello at New Alliance East, Boston. Maintaining the same guitar setup, but adding the HM2 pedal, the album marks a significant evolution in their sound. Sauvagerie is darker and more brutal, featuring a dirtier tone, faster tempos, and a relentless mix of aggressive breaks and crushing riffs, highlighting the band’s raw, savage energy.
