From Bandcamp, "CALCRAFT is raw, hateful death metal, laced with blackened atmosphere and thrash violence. Named after England's infamous executioner William Calcraft, the band delivers gore-drenched riffs and horror-fueled lyrics inspired by Giallo, French, and American slasher films. "Reborn Through Torture" is a blood-soaked manifesto of riffs, madness, and horror, dragging the listener into a world of pain and cinematic carnage. Each song tells a story - of insanity, torture, and final breaths. CALCRAFT don't aim to entertain; they aim to disturb. Their goal is to create a threatening sonic landscape that sounds like "a blood-soaked soundtrack to the final scene you never survive." Those who face this album won't be spared. CALCRAFT hold themselves to their own brutal standard – and deliver Death Metal in its most brutal and uncompromising form."

The album has nine songs, and "Satisfying Strangulation" is first. It has a mid-tempo, sturdy riff and vocals that vary from deep gutturals to tortured screams, and the background information adds to the harrowing effect of the song. Disturbing, indeed. "Slovakian Carnage" does carry a bit of chaos with it as the title suggests, but it's controlled at the hands of the time keeper and the riffs. It sounds more like ritualistic torture for me…the kind that is carefully calculated and flawlessly executed. "Perpetually Stabbed" echoes the title in the drum work, with reach rolling kick drum strike feeling like another knife wound in your flesh. The vocals are cadenced a bit this time, and there are even some cleans to supplement the sound. It's those background elements that really fill up the sound.

"Interlude" is a shorter, connecting song that carries the first half to the second. The gentle keyboards notes are actually surprising, although they do have a measure of tenseness. "Wolves Sight" sports a groove within the Death Metal landscape, and although the vocals are horrid, the groove really draws you in. They could have just taken the straightforward path, but I appreciate each little diversion. It makes the album more personal. "Purest Pain" begins with a commentary on God and his killings. The drum and guitar work well together, but I do wish there were more audible bass notes in the mix, because they could really catapult the album forward. "Carving Flesh" has a twisted sound, as the title suggests. It moves slowly, and calculated, as serial killer might behave, and we do get some chunky bass notes as well.

"Outro" closes the album, and it's another curious instrumental…gentle in nature…showing the band's versatility. This was an excellent album, and it veered off of the path of the genre just enough to keep it intriguing. They used harrowing backing elements, some clean vocals and spoken words, and other techniques and by the end, I did feel like it was a soundtrack to the final scene of a movie that I would never survive.
