Castor – Torture Squad

 

Castor Bio

Born in may 14, 1975  Sao Paulo / Brazil, Castor started to be interested in bass guitar at the age of 12. Influenced by Steve Harris, Geezer Butler and Rudy Sarzo he afforded his first bass guitar when he turned 14 and started to play along with some heavy metal albums he got at that time such as Iron Maiden, Kiss, Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne, Metallica and many more.

Couple of months later, he joined in a band with some friends in the neighborhood just to play tunes from other bands so, in the meanwhile, he discovered that his ambition was not being stuck in a rehearsal room playing the same type of covers but playing own songs and turn out to be a professional musician.

In 1993, Castor was invited to join  Torture Squad and shortly after they recorded and released their first 4 track demo tape entitled "A soul in hell".

Eight more releases followed, including the brand new album "Hellbound" released in 2008,  which is the first cd signed to a European label called Wacken records, in all the band’s career.

Castor is now touring extensively with Torture Squad spreading the new album Hellbound all over Europe and Brazil.
