If you caught Torche on one of their stops during their tour with Converge & Kvelertak, you were privy to hearing two new crushing tunes. Both come from the new self-released (Amnesian Records) 7" entitled Harmonslaught. Side A is the bomb note riddled "Harmonslaught" and the B side is the dark and heavy rocker, "Rock 'N Roll Mantasy".
The cover art was came from a conversation one night while hanging out in the art room with Rick and Steve about parodying some old metal covers with the Harmonster characters. For some reason, not Rick and I suggested Onslaught "Power from Hell" cover. It's simple and yet metal as fuck! I did replace the demon with one of the evil Harmonsters, so he had to have some kind of vegetable in the design. So, I replaced the demon's axe with a giant asparagus spear. The pentagram at the bottom is also formed out of mushrooms to complete the veggie theme. When I sent out the cover art, I titled Harmonslaught. I'll be damned if the song isn't called that and I couldn't be more stoked!!!
I have many more ideas that will soon be revealed for new designs for Torche in the coming months.
The 7" will be released Thursday, December 13th and a record release show is scheduled in Miami for Friday, December 14th with Holly Hunt and Post Teens.
