Description
Heavy rock titans TORCHE make their Relapse debut with the thunderous Restarter, a ten song triumph of an album. TORCHE rose to popularity merging huge infectious melodies with downtuned, crushing sludgey rock and on Restarter theyve perfected the marriage. This is a record that is simultaneously hum-able and heavy that will just as easily appeal to fans of Dinosaur Jr and Sonic Youth as it will Melvins and High On Fire-heads. But what truly sets TORCHE apart from their peers is their ability to use top-notch songwriting and soaring, harmonic vocals to create records that are heavier and louder and hookier than anyone else out there. Quotes as follows: an absolutely killer rock record one thats likely to appeal to listeners into any stripe of heavy music from the past 20 years. Pitchfork
