Winds Of Torment is a french death metal band created in 2001 by Bertrand (lead and rythm guitars), Jean-Francois (drums), Jerome (lead and rythm guitars), Alban (bass) and Xavier (vocals).
In March 2004, Winds Of Torment records its first 4-tracks EP. This autoproduction, entitled «The Cells of the Erased», contains nearly half an hour of music, which could be described as «melodic death-thrash metal»,
«The Cells of the Erased» received a very warm welcome from the french metal press (Demo of the month in Metallian magazine and Rock Hard), from international webzines and also from the audience. This allowed the band to give more concerts in France with a lot of established bands such as Benighted, Destinity, Belenos, Killers, etc.
The 1st of October 2005, Winds Of Torment wins the Mascot Records contest during a great show at La Locomotive, in Paris. WOT thus gets a deal with Dutch label Mascot Records for the recording of its first full length album, «Delighting in Relentless Ignorance», recorded in at Kohlekeller Studio (Benighted, Crematory.) in Germany
Out in 2007, this album allows the band to give concerts in France with bands like Trivium, Annihilator. Hugo (Aabsinthe) becomes the new guitarist of Winds Of Torment in 2008. In 2010, Xavier (vocals) decides to quit the band, and is replaced by Pierre (Aabsinthe)
Winds Of Torment is planning the recording of its second album, which composition is nearly ended, and is looking forward to come back on stage soon
