Restarter

Heavy rock titans Torche make their Relapse debut with the thunderous Restarter, a 10 song triumph of an album. Torche rose to popularity merging huge infectious melodies with down-tuned, crushing sludgey rock and on Restarter they've 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.
