TORCHE PREMIERE “MINIONS”; FIRST NEW MUSIC SINCE 2012

\"torche\"

Torche have made the first new music from their eagerly-awaited album Restarter (released Feb 23rd 2015 via Relapse Records) available, with the song \’Minions\’ streaming now via YouTube & Soundcloud.

\’Minions\’ demonstrates Torche’s knack for merging huge infectious melodies with down-tuned, crushing sludgy rock shines on the nearly five minute song.

Restarter will be released on CD/LP/Deluxe 2xLP/Cassette/Digital, and is available to preorder now.. Two bonus tracks, “Harmonslaught” and “Rock ‘N’ Roll Mantasy,” will be included on deluxe editions. Digital pre-orders are available now via iTunes, Bandcamp, with physical pre-order packages available via Relapse.com.

Restarter

The album was recorded at the band’s Miami studio, Pinecrust, with bass player Jonathan Nuñez overseeing production and Converge’s Kurt Ballou once again returning to handle mixing. In discussing the band’s approach to writing and recording Restarter, Nuñez shared his thoughts on the band’s musical evolution: “I feel that with time you kind of expand and hopefully progress. Hopefully this record is a good reflection of that. I feel it’s strong sonically and harder hitting than the previous record [Harmonicraft]. I’m happy with the last record, but I feel on this record, it’s just more solid song to song. You’ve got to move forward. You can’t release the same record over and over.
