The answer boils down to simple dynamics. While bloggers far and wide have commented on how the Florida quartet sugars their blistering doom metal cadences with massive doses of melody, genre cross-pollination in 2009 will score you little more than yawns. But from our very first glimpse of Torche, when they opened for Dillinger Escape Plan way back in 2005 and very nearly stole the show, we knew we were going to be seeing a lot more of them. We were so right--nobody, barring maybe Led Zeppelin circa 1972, steals a DEP show. Torche play Emo's tomorrow night along with West Coast prog-rockers Dredg, themselves no slouches in the riff department, and Oakland CA's Judgement Day [sic], instrumental trash with violin shredding (!!).




Torche is actually a three-piece at this point.
