Background information about 'Iterations'

Tortuga delivers a crushing statement with "Iterations", a doom metal masterpiece that showcases the band's evolution into darker, more atmospheric territories. This album represents a significant leap forward in their sonic exploration, weaving together crushing riffs with haunting melodies that linger long after the final note fades. The opening track "Init" sets the tone with its ominous atmosphere, while "Lilith" demonstrates the band's ability to balance brutality with beauty, creating moments of genuine transcendence within the heaviness.

The second half of the album continues this journey with "MALACA" serving as the album's centerpiece – a monolithic composition that builds tension through careful dynamics and devastating payoffs. The closing "Epitaph" provides a fitting conclusion to this sonic odyssey, leaving listeners both satisfied and craving more. The production captures every nuance of the band's performance, from the thunderous low-end to the crystalline guitar harmonies that pierce through the wall of sound.
