please update this band

Cleveland, Ohio's Tortuary operates in classic death metal territory, drawing on the Rust Belt's blue-collar brutality to deliver stripped-down, no-frills extreme metal.
Ohio brutal death metal and grindcore act formed in 2020, dealing in short, violent bursts of distorted noise with the surgical precision of death metal riffing beneath the chaos. Their name does not oversell the filth.
