TORSO - Annihilation Day

TORSO is back with third full-length Annihilation Day, set for release on 29th August via APF Records. A culmination of everything that came before, this album is TORSO’s most focused and ferocious statement yet — fusing the lo-fi horror grit of A Crash Course In Terror, the snarling energy of Brain Cells, and adding layers of thrash, black metal and NWOBHM. The riffs are sharper, the mood darker, the vision clearer.

Annihilation Day is TORSO’s first concept LP. Set on January 1st, 1984, it tells the twisted tale of a small-town university campus invaded by an escaped madman and ex-student on prom night.

The town’s fate lies in the hands of two girls, Rita and Christine…and all hell breaks loose!

With one foot in a haunted video store and the other in a mosh pit, TORSO continues to carve out a unique place in the underground: a blood-soaked blend of nostalgia, noise, and nihilism.

Annihilation Day features a diverse range of guest vocal spots from Sam Marsh (Jacob's Mouse, Machismos) Paul Waller (OHHMS) and Thomas House (Charlottefield, Sweet Williams), all of whom have cult status in the world of indie, noise rock and sludge stretching as far back as the early nineties, adding an even more unhinged edge to proceedings.

1.  THE HALLS RUN RED (Rita’s Death / The Thrill of The Kill / Dorm of The Dead)

2.  SATANIC NIRVANA (Tolls of Death / Christine’s Theme / The Sound of Blood)
