Line Up
Torche were formed in 2004 by Steve Brooks (ex-Floor), Juan Montoya (ex-Floor, ex-Cavity, ex-Ed Matus Struggle), Jonathan Nuñez and Rick Smith (ex- Shitstorm, Tyranny of Shaw). 'Torche' is the self-titled debut album from the Miami-based band available on Glasgow's Rock Action Records.
"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! With gloriously sung, harmonized and soaring vocal arrangements accompanying the most monolithic riffs of modern times, Torche reaches to push the envelope and then engulfs it in flames. Call it "stoner pop" or "exquisite brutality"... call it whatever you want. In the end, Torche are still a major force to fuck with, and undeniable leaders of an incredible new style of heavy music." - Robotic Empire
