Torche
After the breakup of Floor in 2004, Torche vocalist/guitarist Steve Brooks decided to carry on the thundering tradition of his former band, recruiting guitarist Juan Montoya (also formerly of Floor), drummer Rick Smith, and bassist Jonathan Nu±ez. This lineup evolved the sonic template Brooks had created with Floor into a lush and more fully realized sound. In 2005, the Miami, FL four-piece released their eponymous debut on Robotic Empire, introducing the world to a new brand of doom/stoner metal that replaces the bleakness and despair typical of ...[more]

VINYL FORMAT. 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.

It sure doesn't feel like it, but it's been three years since Torche's eponymous debut, and now they return with a blistering new release fittingly titled, well, In Return. This monstrous, seven-song, 20-minute EP pushes Torche's musical extremes even further as the "poppy" songs are far more catchy, and the "heavy" songs are infinitely more crushing. The band continues to explore every side of their multi-faceted personas, presenting their darkest, heaviest and most infectious work to date!
