Torch
Torch's 1982 EP pretty much came out of nowhere and generated a bit of
buzz -- it wasn't fancy or complicated, just mean, down and dirty metal,
quite heavy for 1982.
The two full-length albums that followed didn't quite measure up
(by the time of
Electrikiss in 1984, the band was pursuing a
more accesssible metal style),
and they
disappeared.
Vocalist Dan Dark put together a new lineup for live shows and that lineup
released
Dark Sinner in 2009, consisting of re-recorded tracks from
their past.
More recently, the entire original band reformed and
is putting out a new album
in September 2020.
