Torche offer up new track 'Annihilation Affair' • News • DIY Magazine

Torche are getting set to release their brand new album ‘Restarter’ next month, and they’ve now unveiled a second taste of it.

Having already supplied us with the heavy-on-the-sludge ‘Minions’, the Floridian four-piece have now offered up the album’s opening track, the rather aptly-titled ‘Annihilation Affair’. Complete with hard-hitting guitars from the start and relentless bass throughout, you can listen to their new track below.

Their new record - the follow-up to 2012’s ‘Harmonicraft’ - is due to be released on 23rd February through Relapse Records and will be ten songs in length. They’ll be releasing it in five different formats too: CD, LP, deluxe double LP, cassette and as a digital download. There’ll also be two extra tracks - ‘Harmonslaught’ and ‘Rock ‘N’ Roll Mantasy’ - on the deluxe edition.

The tracklisting is as follows.
