Torche - Torche [2005]

Uh! my fellows, this is an exciting post, bringing up to the net surface one of those beautifull Torche's album. Gosh, Torche is one of those new bands that puts my blood to boil and certainly stones my head with trippy powerfull riffs (...) Furthermore, the good shit is that, when we compare Torche with other sludge metal fellow bands like High on Fire, Weedeater, Electric Wizard, etc; they all got their weak and strong sides, but none of them reaches what Torche often does in a three and even two minutes song. I think there is the sludge essence somehow. There we got our Holy Roar, our Mentor, Fire, Rule the Beast, Hellion, etc.
Reading about the band I came up with the news that Juan Montoya, left the band due to musical differences. Juan Montoya is the responsible of the ass kicking space rocket melodies in this album, for instance, in song "fuck addict".
The good thing is that, according to Steve Brooks the band will continue. I wonder what kind of consequences this change will have in the band's sound... Well, hope you to enjoy this one, I will upload Torche's other works later probaly.

Tracklist:

1.- Charge of the Brown Recluse
2.- Safe
3.- Mentor
4.- Erase
5.- Fuck Addict
6.- Vampyro
7.- Rockit
8.- Fire
9.- Holy Roar
10.- The Last Word

Torche - In return EP [2007]

Torche is a north american band from Miami, Florida, whose tendencies stretch from stoner to sludge and doom metal. Certainly, such blend makes Torche quite an interesting project, which worth to listen. Musically speaking, Torche uses middle-slow rough repetitive compases, sporadic ghastly guitar choral solos, without lacking thundering unforeaseable passages of pure wrath. The band's sound is often compared to that of The Melvins, in what refers to master the formula. Well, that's quite an statement, considering the Melvins' status, so judge for yourselves. Torche burns!

Tracklist:

01 - Warship
02 - In return
03 - Bring me home
04 - Rule the beast
05 - Olympus mons
06 - Tarpit carnivore
07 - Hellion
