Torch Reignited

The sensational comeback album of the Swedish metal legend. Already with their self-titled debut in 1983 the band attained an unbroken cult status in the Hard'n'Heavy scene. Robb Flynn of Machine Head, for example, said the first song they ever played live was a Torch song. And Snowy Shaw of King Diamond said that he named his first band after a piece of Torch. Faster, heavier and louder! That was the motto under which Torch started as a young band. And even 36 years after the last regular album nothing has changed in this attitude. The new songs, created with the help of Grammy nominated producer Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, U.D.O., Pretty Maids ...), combine the old school metal feeling of Torch with a powerful, contemporary sound. From the original line-up, four of the five founding members are still part of the band today.
