The Southeastern quartet have shared two new songs from the forthcoming album: “Minions” (https://soundcloud.com/relapserecords/torche-minions/s-8JCbr), a track Stereogum described as “a towering, walloping steamroller of a song” and “Annihilation Affair” (https://soundcloud.com/relapserecords/torche-annihilation-affair) which Spin dubbed “a thundering single” and went on to describe as featuring “pulverizing eardrums with screeching, sludgy guitars, head-pounding percussion, and gut-wrenchingly aggressive vocals.”
Restarter will be released on CD/LP/Deluxe 2xLP/Cassette/Digital, with pre-orders available now with songs “Harmonslaught” and “Rock ‘N’ Roll Mantasy,” will be included on deluxe editions. Digital pre-orders offer an instant download of “Annihilation Affair” and “Minions” (http://geni.us/RestarterDLX), Bandcamp (www.torche.bandcamp.com) and physically via Relapse (http://www.relapse.com/torche-restarter).
