今天采访到的是来自哥伦比亚的Technical Brutal Death Metal乐队Savage's Torment，组建于2003年的Savage's Torment乐队是哥伦比亚一支非常有资历的老牌乐队，但是也是相当低调的乐队之一，目前只发行三张Demo和一张正式专辑，以凶狠复杂的编曲赢得了歌迷的关注和支持，虽然乐队自2013发行了第一张正式专辑“Wake Up the Horror”在无任何新的作品，但是他们频繁的演出并没有降低他们的热度，今年乐队也即将发行他们的第二张正式专辑，前不久乐队与杂志取得联系进行了一次专访！

（V: 代表笔者 S: 代表Savage's Torment）

Today we interviewed Savage's Torment, a Technical Brutal Death Metal band from Colombia. Formed in 2003, Savage's Torment is a very established and respected band in Colombia, yet they remain quite low-key, having released only three demos and one full-length album. They've gained attention and support from fans with their aggressive and complex arrangements. Although they haven't released any new material since their first full-length album, "Wake Up the Horror," in 2013, their frequent performances haven't diminished their popularity. This year, they are set to release their second full-length album, and recently, the band contacted a magazine for an exclusive interview!

V: 你好兄弟，很高兴见到你，非常感谢你联系我进行采访。Savages Torment成立于2003年，是一支拥有23年历史的老牌乐队。你们当初是如何组建这支乐队的呢？

Hello brother, it's nice to meet you and I'm very grateful that you contacted me for an interview. Savages Torment was formed in 2003 and is a veteran band with a 23-year history. How did you form this band in the first place?

S: 乐队成立于2003年，由几位志同道合的音乐人组成，他们共同的愿景是：在极端金属领域打造独树一帜的音乐风格。从一开始，乐队的成立就源于对音乐的热爱、深厚的友谊以及为乐迷带来震撼人心的独特体验的渴望。在当时当地音乐圈资源匮乏、机会寥寥的情况下，我们决定发展出属于自己的独特音乐风格，并始终坚守自我。在过去的23年里，我们经历了不同的阶段、成员的更迭以及无数的挑战，但我们始终对音乐和一路支持我们的所有人保持着同样的热情。

The band was formed in 2003 as the result of several musicians coming together with a shared vision: to create an authentic proposal within the extreme metal scene. From the very beginning, the project was driven by a passion for music, friendship, and the desire to deliver an intense and unique experience to the audience. At a time when the local scene had fewer opportunities and resources, we decided to develop our own sound and remain true to our identity. Throughout these 23 years, we have gone through different stages, lineup changes, and numerous challenges, but we have always maintained the same commitment to our music and to everyone who has supported us throughout this journey.

V: 你们乐队的所有创始成员都已离开。如果说还有创始成员，那也只有2005年加入的主唱Andrés了。其余成员都是在2013年至2015年间加入的。为什么第一代成员都离开了乐队？你又是如何加入的？

All the original members of your band have left. If there are any original members left, it's only singer Andrés who joined in 2005. The remaining members joined between 2013 and 2015. Why did the first generation of members leave the band? How did you join the band?

S: 第一代成员的离开是一个自然而然的过程，随着时间的推移自然而然地发生。正如许多长期活跃的乐队一样，由于个人责任、职业安排、搬迁以及生活重心的改变，每位成员最终都走上了不同的道路。然而，乐队的精髓从未消逝。2008年，Andrés通过公开试镜加入乐队担任主唱，当时乐队正在寻找新的主唱。他肩负起延续乐队生命、传承其音乐遗产的重任。正是凭借这份坚持，在2013年至2015年间，新一代音乐人加入乐队，带来了新鲜的理念、焕然一新的活力和全新的视角，同时始终尊重乐队自成立以来所形成的风格。

The departure of the first generation of members was a natural process that took place over the years. As happens with many bands that have had a long career, each member eventually followed a different path due to personal responsibilities, professional commitments, relocation, and changing priorities in their lives. However, the essence of the band never disappeared. Andrés joined the band as vocalist in 2008 through an open audition, as the band was looking for a new singer, and he took on the responsibility of keeping the project alive and continuing to build its legacy. Thanks to that perseverance, between 2013 and 2015 a new generation of musicians joined the band, bringing fresh ideas, renewed energy, and a new perspective, while always respecting the identity that the band has developed since its beginnings.

V: 你们乐队的专辑在编曲方面非常精益求精。显然，你们拥有卓越的技艺，并在作品的打磨上投入了大量心血。能否和我们谈谈你们的创作过程？

Your band's albums are very meticulous in terms of arrangement. It's clear that you have outstanding skills and put a lot of effort into polishing your work. Could you tell us about your creative process?

S: 多年来，我们的创作过程发生了显著的变化，但始终秉持着相同的理念：绝不满足于最初的想法。每一首作品都要经过反复的开发和完善，我们力求确保歌曲中的每个元素都发挥其应有的作用。通常，一切都始于一个核心想法——无论是即兴重复乐段、人声旋律、氛围营造还是歌词概念。之后，我们会共同协作，打磨编曲、结构和细节，确保每首曲目都拥有独特的个性，并传递出乐队独有的强烈情感。我们也会投入大量时间进行前期制作。我们会录制小样，分析技术细节，并尝试不同的方法，直到找到力量感、技巧和音乐性之间的最佳平衡点。我们认为极端金属乐需要高度的投入，因此我们非常注重每张专辑的动态、音效和整体连贯性等各个方面。

Our creative process has evolved significantly over the years, but it has always maintained the same philosophy: never settling for the first idea. Every composition goes through a process of development and refinement in which we strive to ensure that every element serves a purpose within the song. Usually, everything begins with a core idea—whether it's a riff, a vocal line, an atmosphere, or a lyrical concept. From there, we work collectively on the arrangements, structure, and nuances, making sure that each track has its own identity and conveys the intensity that defines the band. We also devote a great deal of time to pre-production. We record demos, analyze technical details, and experiment with different approaches until we find the right balance between aggression, technique, and musicality. We believe that extreme metal demands a high level of dedication, which is why we pay close attention to aspects such as dynamics, sound, and the overall cohesion of each album.

V: 你们乐队在成立十年后的2013年发行了首张完整专辑。这张专辑的录音质量非常出色。请问你们是在哪个录音棚录制的？谁担任了制作人？你们还记得当时的录音过程吗？录制过程中遇到了哪些困难或趣事？

Your band released your first full-length album in 2013, ten years after your band was formed. The recording quality of this album is outstanding. Which studio did you record the album in? Who produced the album for you? Do you remember the recording process? What difficulties or interesting stories did you encounter while recording this album?

S: 是的，我们2005年和2013年发行的两张完整专辑是乐队历史上非常重要的里程碑，我们很高兴看到多年后，那些发现我们作品的人依然欣赏它们的制作水准。2005年和2013年的专辑均在SoundTech Studios录制，由Sander Bermúdez担任制作人。他当时对我们追求的音乐风格起到了至关重要的作用。从一开始，我们就共同的目标是打造强劲、清晰且充满侵略性的音乐，以展现Savages Torment的精髓。我们至今仍记得那段紧张而艰辛的录音过程。我们每天都花大量时间反复修改编曲、重录，并关注每一个细节。我们追求完美，力求最终的成品能够达到我们的预期。我们投入了大量时间来寻找技巧、力度和氛围之间的最佳平衡点。正如许多独立制作一样，我们也遇到了不少挑战。当时，乐队正处于转型期，每位成员都有个人和职业上的责任，因此协调日程安排和保持稳定的工作流程并非易事。然而，这些挑战最终增强了每个人对这个项目的投入。我们记忆最深刻的轶事之一是，某些段落被反复录制，直到达到我们设想的完美效果。期间不乏疲惫，但也充满了欢声笑语，当最终在录音室听到混音完成时，那种成就感更是难以言喻。这是一段考验乐队耐心，却也最终留下难忘回忆的经历。回首往事，我们认为这些专辑完美地记录了Savages Torment乐队的转型与成长时期。十多年过去了，它们依然是我们引以为傲的作品，也是我们音乐生涯中的重要里程碑。毫无疑问，我们将把同样的专注和投入带到我们即将发行的作品中，证明即使经过 20 多年，我们仍然致力于呈现我们音乐的最佳版本。

Yes, our full-length albums released in 2005 and 2013 represent very important moments in the band's history, and we are pleased to know that the production quality continues to be appreciated by those who discover our work years later. The 2005 and 2013 albums were recorded at SoundTech Studios under the production of Sander Bermúdez, who played a fundamental role in shaping the sound we were striving for at that time. From the beginning, we shared the goal of achieving a powerful, clear production with the necessary aggression to represent the essence of Savages Torment. We remember the recording process as a very intense and demanding period. We spent long days reviewing arrangements, repeating takes, and paying attention to every detail. We were extremely perfectionistic and wanted to ensure that the final result lived up to our expectations. Much of our time was devoted to finding the right balance between technique, heaviness, and atmosphere. As is often the case with independent productions, there were also challenges along the way. At that time, the band was going through a transitional period, and each member had personal and professional responsibilities, so coordinating schedules and maintaining a consistent workflow was not always easy. Nevertheless, those challenges ultimately strengthened everyone's commitment to the project. One of the anecdotes we remember most is the number of times certain sections were re-recorded until they sounded exactly as we had envisioned them. There were moments of exhaustion, but also plenty of laughter and a great sense of satisfaction when we finally heard the finished mixes in the studio. It was one of those experiences that tests a band's patience, yet leaves unforgettable memories in the end. Looking back, we believe that those albums perfectly captured a period of transition and growth for Savages Torment. More than a decade later, they remain works we are deeply proud of and important milestones within our discography. Without a doubt, we intend to bring that same dedication and level of commitment to our upcoming releases, proving that even after more than 20 years, we remain devoted to delivering the very best version of our music.

V: 你们乐队的音乐发行速度非常慢。2004年至2010年间，你们只发行了三张Demo。2013年发行首张正式专辑后，就再也没有发布过任何新歌。是什么阻碍了你们的发行速度？我认为主要原因是乐队阵容的问题。

Your band releases music very slowly. Between 2004 and 2010, you released three demos. After releasing your first full-length album in 2013, you haven't released any new music. What's hindering your release speed? I think the main reason is the lineup issue.

S: 是的，阵容变动是影响我们发展的重要因素之一。一支乐队要保持二十多年的活跃状态，就意味着要经历不同的发展阶段，而每一次人员变动都需要时间来培养音乐和个人上的默契，最终都会体现在最终的作品中。但这并非唯一的原因。我们一直以来对自己的作品要求极高，我们更愿意花时间确保每一张专辑都达到我们自己设定的标准。我们不是那种为了维持知名度而随意发行作品的乐队；我们希望每一张专辑都能代表一次进化，并拥有鲜明的个性。归根结底，我们的发行计划是多种因素共同作用的结果：阵容变动、对品质的不断追求，以及我们坚信音乐应该在呈现给公众之前充分成熟。我们更倾向于稳步前进，同时始终忠于我们的艺术理念。

Yes, lineup changes have been one of the most important factors. Keeping a band active for more than two decades means going through different stages, and every change in personnel requires time to build both musical and personal chemistry that will ultimately be reflected in the final result. However, that is not the only reason. We have always been very demanding when it comes to our work, and we prefer to take the necessary time to ensure that each release meets the standards we have set for ourselves. We are not a band that releases material simply to remain visible; we want every album to represent an evolution and possess a strong identity of its own. Ultimately, our release schedule is the result of a combination of factors: lineup changes, the constant pursuit of quality, and the belief that music should be allowed to mature before it is presented to the public. We prefer to move forward steadily while remaining faithful to our artistic vision.

V: 你们乐队的标志设计得非常精美。是谁设计的？你们2013年专辑的封面也独具特色。是谁设计的？它有什么寓意？

Your band's logo is beautifully designed. Who designed it for you? The artwork for your 2013 album is also very unique. Who designed it? What is its meaning?

S: Savages Torment 的标志由哥伦比亚著名艺术家Ricardo Montenegro设计，他在哥伦比亚Death Metal界享有盛誉。从一开始，他就完美地理解了我们作为乐队想要传达的身份和愿景。他的作品成功地捕捉到了Savages Torment的精髓：侵略性、黑暗、复杂性，以及深深植根于极端金属的美学。我们认为，标志远不止是一个图形元素；它是观众对我们乐队的第一印象，也是乐队个性的视觉呈现。至于专辑"Wake of the Horror"的封面，画面描绘了两个对立的形象：一个是有机的，一个是机械的，象征着人性与科技发展之间的冲突。画面中心是一个被混乱和毁灭吞噬的天体，可以解读为世界濒临崩溃的象征，而背景的火焰和视觉元素则强化了这种衰败和对抗的氛围。专辑名"Wake of the Horror"可以理解为“恐怖的余波”或“恐怖觉醒之后”，指的是我们作为一个社会所做出的抉择所带来的后果。这张专辑探讨了这样一个观点：人类在很大程度上要为自身所面临的种种恐怖负责——无论是战争、不受约束的野心，还是自身身份的丧失。这张专辑的封面对我们来说也意义非凡，因为它标志着乐队历史上的一个过渡时期。当时我们正着手组建新的阵容，并拓展我们的音乐和概念表达方式。因此，除了美学意义之外，它更代表了我们音乐旅程中的一个重要篇章。我们乐于看到人们在我们的艺术作品中找到属于他们自己的解读。我们相信，一张优秀的专辑封面不仅仅是音乐的载体——它开启了一扇通往概念宇宙的大门，而这个宇宙会在每一次聆听专辑的过程中不断演变。

The Savages Torment logo was designed by the renowned Colombian artist Ricardo Montenegro, a highly respected figure within the Colombian death metal scene. From the very beginning, he perfectly understood the identity and vision we wanted to convey as a band. His work successfully captured the essence of Savages Torment: aggression, darkness, complexity, and an aesthetic deeply rooted in extreme metal. We believe that a logo is much more than a graphic element; it is the first impression the audience receives and a visual representation of the band's personality. Regarding the cover artwork for Wake of the Horror, the image depicts two opposing figures: one organic and one mechanical, symbolizing the conflict between human nature and technological evolution. At the center appears a celestial body engulfed in chaos and destruction, which can be interpreted as a representation of a world on the brink of collapse, while the fire and visual elements in the background reinforce this sense of decay and confrontation. The title Wake of the Horror can be understood as "In the Wake of Horror" or "After the Awakening of Horror," referring to the consequences of our decisions as a society. The album explores the idea that humanity is, to a large extent, responsible for the horrors it faces—whether through war, unchecked ambition, or the loss of its own identity. This artwork is also especially important to us because it marked a transitional period in the band's history. It was a time when we were beginning to establish a new lineup and expand both our musical and conceptual approach. Therefore, beyond its aesthetics, it represents a fundamental chapter in our journey. We enjoy seeing people find their own interpretations in our art. We believe that a great album cover does more than accompany the music—it opens the door to a conceptual universe that continues to evolve every time someone listens to the album.

V: 末世论是你们的音乐主题。为什么选择这个主题？你们想通过它表达什么？你们创作了歌词吗？是谁写的？创作灵感来自哪里？

Eschatology is your music theme. Why did you choose this theme? What do you want to express through it? Did you write any lyrics? Who wrote them, and what inspired them?

S: 我们选择以外星人、宇宙和灵性为主题进行创作，是因为这些主题自乐队成立之初就深深吸引着我们。事实上，末世论并非Savages Torment的固定主题。这种创作思路仅在《Wake of the Horror》这张专辑中有所体现，我们当时想要探索与恐怖、毁灭以及人类行为后果相关的概念。乐队的每张专辑都有其独特的概念。在"Wake of the Horror"这张专辑中，我们着重构建了一个更加黑暗、更具末世感的叙事，探讨了末日、混乱、衰败以及不同力量之间的对抗等主题，这些主题既可以进行字面解读，也可以进行隐喻解读。我们一直将极端金属视为探索我们认知之外事物的载体：生命的起源、人类在宇宙中的位置，以及是否存在更高层次的意识或未知维度。通过这些概念，我们试图表达人类只是浩瀚宇宙中微不足道的一部分。我们的歌词和艺术作品旨在提出问题，而非提供答案：我们从何而来？我们将去往何方？死亡之后是什么？我们在宇宙中真的孤独吗？对我们而言，灵性并非依附于任何特定的教义，而是与超越和转化的理念相关。我们致力于探索意识、能量和宇宙之间的联系，以及这些概念如何与极端金属的侵略性和强度共存。我们的主要灵感来源包括科幻小说、天文学、古代文明、赫尔墨斯主义、哲学以及那些探讨存在和宇宙奥秘的作家。我们也从个人经历和对周围世界的观察中汲取灵感，而我们周围的世界往往如同任何科幻小说一样混乱而令人困惑。最终，我们将外星和宇宙概念用作隐喻。外星人、实体和星际景观代表着人类恐惧、不理解或尚未领悟的一切。这是我们提醒自己，最终我们仍然是浩瀚宇宙中的旅人，试图在黑暗中寻找意义的方式。

We chose to work with concepts related to aliens, the cosmos, and spirituality because these subjects have fascinated us since the band's early days. In reality, eschatology is not a permanent theme within Savages Torment. That particular approach was present specifically on Wake of the Horror, where we wanted to explore concepts related to horror, destruction, and the consequences of human actions. Each of the band's albums has had its own conceptual identity. In the case of Wake of the Horror, we were interested in developing a darker, more apocalyptic narrative, addressing themes such as the end times, chaos, decay, and the confrontation between different forces that can be interpreted both literally and metaphorically. We have always seen extreme metal as a vehicle for exploring what lies beyond our understanding: the origin of life, humanity's place in the universe, and the possibility that higher forms of consciousness or unknown dimensions may exist. Through these concepts, we seek to express that human beings are only a small part of something much greater. Our lyrics and artwork are intended to raise questions rather than provide answers: Where do we come from? Where are we going? What lies beyond death? Are we truly alone in the universe? For us, spirituality is not tied to any particular doctrine, but rather to the ideas of transcendence and transformation. We are interested in exploring the connection between consciousness, energy, and the cosmos, and how these concepts can coexist with the aggression and intensity of extreme metal. Our main sources of inspiration include science fiction, astronomy, ancient civilizations, Hermeticism, philosophy, and authors who have written about existence and the mysteries of the universe. We are also inspired by personal experiences and by observing the world around us, which often seems as chaotic and bewildering as any science fiction story. Ultimately, we use alien and cosmic concepts as metaphors. Extraterrestrials, entities, and interstellar landscapes represent everything humanity fears, does not understand, or has yet to comprehend. It is our way of reminding ourselves that, in the end, we are still travelers in an immense universe, trying to find meaning amidst the darkness.

V: 你们乐队的所有作品都是独立发行的。我记得你们2013年的专辑也是独立发行的CD。为什么不选择与唱片公司合作发行呢？

All of your band's works are independently released by yourselves. I remember that your 2013 album was an independently released CD. Why don't you choose to cooperate with a label to release the album?

S: 在我们的音乐生涯中，我们曾多次收到唱片公司的邀约和合作意向，但至今为止，我们还没有找到一家真正能够提供我们认为必要的保障、承诺和远见的唱片公司，让我们放心地将我们的作品托付给他们。我们对乐队的方方面面都非常重视：音乐、封面设计、制作以及每张专辑的发行方式。经过二十多年的发展，我们坚信与唱片公司的任何合作都应该是互惠互利的，并能带来真正的价值，尤其是在发行、国际推广和专业支持等领域。保持独立也让我们能够完全掌控自己的创作决策。我们从未被迫妥协自己的风格，也从未为了迎合潮流或外部需求而改变我们的艺术理念，这一点我们深感珍视。当然，我们并不排斥未来与唱片公司合作。如果出现一家认真负责、透明公开、拥有切实可行方案的公司——一家尊重我们的艺术理念并为双方提供有力保障的公司——我们当然愿意认真考虑。与此同时，我们将继续按照我们从一开始就坚持的方式做事：努力工作，坚持不懈，并坚信音乐本身就能说明一切。

Throughout our career, we have had the opportunity to receive various proposals and approaches from record labels, but so far we have not found one that truly offers the guarantees, commitment, and vision that we consider necessary to entrust them with our work. We are very careful with everything related to the band: the music, the artwork, the production, and the way we present each release. After more than 20 years of building this project, we believe that any partnership with a label should be mutually beneficial and provide real value, especially in areas such as distribution, international promotion, and professional support. Remaining independent has also allowed us to maintain complete creative control over our decisions. We have never had to compromise our identity or adapt our artistic vision to fit trends or external demands, and that is something we deeply value. Of course, we are not opposed to working with a record label in the future. If a serious, transparent company with a solid proposal emerges—one that respects our artistic vision and offers strong guarantees for both parties—we would certainly be willing to consider it. In the meantime, we will continue doing things our own way, just as we have from the beginning: with hard work, perseverance, and the conviction that the music should speak for itself.

V: 你们乐队的作品非常精彩。你们的技巧精湛，编曲复杂而快速，riff连贯，鼓点精准，鼓手和吉他手的配合也堪称完美。你们对自己的作品有何感想？

Your band's work is highly enjoyable. Your technique is outstanding, the arrangement is complex, fast, with continuous riffs, precise drum beats, and the drummer and guitarist have such great chemistry. What are your thoughts on your work?

S: 首先，我们衷心感谢这份认可。作为音乐人，我们深感欣慰的是，每首作品中倾注的时间和心血都能被听众感受到。我们是一支自我要求很高的乐队。虽然我们为多年来的成就感到自豪，但我们始终相信还有进步和发展的空间。每张专辑都代表着乐队历史上的一个特定时刻，反映了我们当时的技艺和受到的影响。从技术层面来说，我们力求在歌曲的复杂性和个性之间保持平衡。我们希望riff、节奏变化和编曲不仅仅是技巧的展示，它们更应该有助于营造一种强烈而连贯的听觉体验。吉他手和鼓手之间的默契是我们音乐的基石，多年来，通过不断的合作和对音乐表达的共同愿景，这种默契日益增强。我们也相信，仅仅拥有技巧是不够的。音乐需要个性和情感。我们的目标始终是创作出不仅在音乐上具有挑战性，而且具有自身独特氛围并能留在听众记忆中的歌曲。

First of all, we sincerely appreciate that recognition. As musicians, it is always gratifying to know that the time and dedication invested in each composition are perceived by those who listen to our work. We are a very self-critical band. Although we are proud of what we have built over the years, we always believe there is room for improvement and evolution. Each album represents a specific moment in the band's history and reflects both our abilities and our influences during that period. From a technical standpoint, we strive to ensure that our songs maintain a balance between complexity and personality. We want the riffs, tempo changes, and arrangements to be more than just demonstrations of skill; they should contribute to creating an intense and cohesive experience. The chemistry between the guitarist and the drummer is fundamental to our sound, and it is something that has grown stronger over the years through constant work and a shared vision of what we want to express. We also believe that technique alone is not enough. Music needs identity and emotion. Our goal has always been to create songs that, beyond being musically demanding, possess their own atmosphere and remain in the listener's memory.

V: 你们乐队已经很久没有发布新歌了。2026年有什么新计划吗？我在你们的YouTube频道上看到你们最近发布了一个新视频，看起来像是你们的新单曲。这是否意味着你们即将发行新专辑？可以和我们分享一些信息吗？

Your band hasn't released any new music for a very long time. What's new in 2026? I saw on your YouTube channel that you recently released a new video, which seems to be your new single. Does this mean you're about to release a new album? Can you share some information with us?

S: 是的，我们目前仍在制作即将推出的新作品。由于一些临时的延误，包括制作环节和一些我们认为在向公众发布新音乐之前至关重要的细节，整个过程比我们最初预期的要长。尽管如此，乐队从未停止过创作，我们对未来的发展充满期待。作为预告，我们可以确认即将发布一首名为"Transcending the Cosmic Synchronicity"的新单曲，它将作为我们第三张录音室专辑的序曲。这首歌代表了我们目前在音乐和概念上的发展方向。这首单曲深入探讨了多年来定义我们身份的几个元素：宇宙、超越、意识以及人类与我们无法理解的力量之间的关系。在音乐上，这是一首充满张力、技术精湛且氛围浓郁的作品，反映了乐队成立二十多年来的自然演变。我们目前还不能透露太多关于专辑的细节，但可以肯定的是，这将是我们迄今为止最具雄心的作品。我们为这张专辑的制作投入了大量心血，从歌曲创作、编曲到即将发行的视觉概念，无一不倾注心力。我们衷心感谢多年来一直支持我们的每一位朋友。我们知道大家等待的时间很长，但我们相信一切付出都是值得的。我们期待着很快与大家分享《超越宇宙同步性》，并在此之后不久正式宣布我们的第三张录音室专辑。

Yes, we are currently still working on our upcoming material. The process has taken longer than we initially expected due to some last-minute delays, both in terms of production and in certain details that we consider important before presenting new music to the public. Nevertheless, the band has never stopped working, and we are very excited about what lies ahead. As a preview, we can confirm that we will soon release a new single titled "Transcending the Cosmic Synchronicity," which will serve as the introduction to our third full-length album. This track represents the direction we are currently taking, both musically and conceptually. The single delves deeper into several elements that have defined our identity over the years: the cosmos, transcendence, consciousness, and the relationship between humanity and forces beyond our understanding. Musically, it is an intense, technical, and atmospheric composition that reflects the band's natural evolution after more than two decades of existence. We cannot reveal too many details about the album just yet, but we can say that it will be our most ambitious work to date. We have invested a great deal of effort into every aspect of the production, from the songwriting and arrangements to the visual concept that will accompany the release. We deeply appreciate the patience and support of everyone who has stood by us throughout the years. We know the wait has been a long one, but we are convinced it will be worth it. We look forward to sharing "Transcending the Cosmic Synchronicity" with you very soon and, shortly thereafter, officially announcing our third full-length album.

V: 作为一支资深乐队，你们参加过无数场现场演出。哪些演出给你们留下了深刻的印象？能否描述一下当时的氛围？2026年你们计划参加哪些新的演出？

As a veteran band, you've participated in many live performances. Which live performances left a deep impression on you? Could you describe the atmosphere of those performances? What new performances are you planning to participate in in 2026?

S: 幸运的是，在我们的音乐生涯中，我们有机会登上无数舞台，每一次演出都给我们留下了独特的印象。然而，如果要说哪一场演出在乐队历史上占据着特殊的地位，那无疑是Rock al Parque音乐节。时至今日，它仍然是我们演出过的最大、最令人难忘的舞台。在拉丁美洲最重要的音乐节之一上，与成千上万的观众分享我们的音乐，这种体验难以用语言来形容。观众的热情、宏大的制作规模，以及有机会在如此重要的场合展现我们的音乐，都标志着我们音乐生涯的一个转折点。现场气氛简直令人难以置信。看到这么多人与我们的音乐产生共鸣，并以哥伦比亚金属乐界特有的热情回应，让我们再次感受到多年来坚持音乐的动力。这是一个值得骄傲的时刻——不仅对乐队而言，对所有从一开始就陪伴我们走过这段旅程的人来说也是如此。我们还在许多其他我们珍视的音乐节和独立场地进行演出，因为它们对我们乐队的成长至关重要。每一场演出都教会了我们宝贵的经验，也帮助我们加强了与观众之间的联系。

Fortunately, we have had the opportunity to perform on numerous stages throughout our career, and each one has left us with a unique experience. However, if there is one performance that holds a special place in the history of the band, it is undoubtedly Rock al Parque. To this day, it remains the largest and most unforgettable stage we have ever played. Sharing our music with thousands of people at one of the most important festivals in Latin America was an experience that is difficult to put into words. The energy of the crowd, the scale of the production, and the opportunity to represent our music at such a significant event marked a turning point for us. The atmosphere was simply incredible. Seeing so many people connect with our music and respond with the intensity that characterizes the Colombian metal scene reminded us why we continue to do this after so many years. It was a moment of pride—not only for the band, but also for everyone who has been part of this journey since the beginning. We also hold many other performances at festivals and independent venues close to our hearts, as they have been fundamental to our growth as a band. Each show has taught us valuable lessons and has helped strengthen our bond with our audience.

V: 你们是一支非常知名的哥伦比亚乐队。我2013年听过你们的首张专辑，印象非常深刻。虽然之后你们没有发行过新作品，但我没想到你们会联系我进行这次采访。我会继续关注和支持你们的乐队。我也希望通过这次采访，能让更多中国乐迷关注并支持你们的乐队。采访即将结束。最后，你们有什么想对中国乐迷说的吗？

You are a very established Colombian band. I listened to your full-length album in 2013, and it left a deep impression on me. Although you haven't released any new works since then, I didn't expect you to contact me for this interview. I will continue to follow and support your band. I also hope that through this interview, more Chinese fans will pay attention to and support your band. The interview is about to end. In closing, is there anything you would like to say to your Chinese fans?

S: 首先，我们衷心感谢您抽出时间聆听我们的音乐，并感谢您对Savages Torment乐队历史的关注。多年来，我们的作品能够持续触及世界各地的人们，这让我们倍感荣幸。我们非常高兴这次采访能够让更多中国乐迷了解我们的音乐。音乐始终是世界通用的语言，想到这些在哥伦比亚萌芽的歌曲能够与地球另一端的听众产生共鸣，真是令人难以置信。对于所有在中国的支持者，我们想说：感谢你们的支持、你们的好奇心，以及你们对极端金属乐的热情。我们希望我们的音乐能够陪伴你们，让你们从中找到我们力求在每一首作品中传递的能量、激情和反思。我们目前正在创作新歌，并期待着很快与大家分享即将发布的单曲"Transcending the Cosmic Synchronicity"，作为我们第三张录音室专辑的先行曲。我们对这崭新的篇章感到无比兴奋，并希望你们能加入我们，一同踏上这段旅程。金属乐无国界、无语言、无距离。我们因同样的激情和同样的社群而团结在一起。我们希望有一天能有机会将我们的音乐带到中国，与你们同台演出。在此，我谨代表Savages Torment乐队全体成员，感谢你们聆听我们的音乐，感谢你们成为我们故事的一部分。

保持狂野。保持宇宙。——Savages Torment

First of all, we would like to sincerely thank you for taking the time to listen to our music and for the interest you have shown in the history of Savages Torment. It is an honor for us to know that, after so many years, our work continues to reach people from different parts of the world. We are truly delighted to know that this interview will allow more fans in China to discover our music. Music has always been a universal language, and it is incredible to think that songs that began to take shape in Colombia can connect with listeners on the other side of the planet. To all of our supporters in China, we want to say: thank you for your support, your curiosity, and for keeping the passion for extreme metal alive. We hope our music accompanies you and that you find in it the same energy, intensity, and sense of reflection that we strive to convey in every composition. We are currently working on new material and look forward to sharing our upcoming single, "Transcending the Cosmic Synchronicity," very soon as a preview of our third full-length album. We are extremely excited about this new chapter and hope that you will join us on this journey. Metal knows no borders, languages, or distances. We are united by the same passion and the same community. We hope that one day we will have the opportunity to bring our music to China and share a stage with all of you. On behalf of all the members of Savages Torment, thank you for listening to us and for being part of this story.

Stay Brutal. Stay Cosmic. — Savages Torment
