The mighty TORPOR have been around for not long at all and played their first ever gig with vocalist Nats at the last WPC event last year. What was seen on that night seemed to leave people in a state of shock after viewing such a formidable force that was quite simply not expected! In excitement i booked them again for the forthcoming WINTER WARMER WEEKENDER. Long story short, i LOVE this band!
This initial EP that has been recorded live in the studio is a damn solid start to a brand new career in music and i feel that sometimes people can forget how hard it can be to hone your sound on the first thing you release but this is a damn good attempt. Its heavy as hell and has the same bounce and stompe that was heard on the initial Will Haven albums which i really believe is the thing that sets this lot above other sludge bands around at the moment (my particular favorite moment being the “drop” in the song ‘Ashes’). I would love to see any man watch this band and try NOT to nod there head in appreciation to the infectious groove of these tunes!
Basically, get your hands on it and crank it up loud as these lot are going to be seen alot more in 2013.
