Torche (reissue)

Once described as "stoner pop", Miami quartet Torche could just as awkwardly be called "doom pop" or "thunder rock"--but what all these clumsy words boil down to is simultaneously one of the catchiest and heaviest bands to ever grace the worlds of metal, indie and underground music in general. Sound like hyperbole? Torche actually has their own patented "bomb string" tuning which is literally unparalleled in heavy music (past or present) and they use it liberally on this, their self-titled debut full-length album. Easily the heaviest record Robotic Empire has released to date, never has a "metal" album existed quite like the mind-blowing debut release from Torche. Hinted at by members' former group Floor, truly anthemic, triumphant and absolutely massive heavy metal has never been this undeniably catchy! A deluxe, fully remixed and remastered version with a brand new bonus track and new artwork.
