Hailing from the Hague in the Netherlands, Blo.torch tears apart various metal styles only to merge them into a new, intense whole. Strongly thrash based, complemented by death, black and hardcore influences. The styles vary between and within songs, resulting in fast and furious riffing blowing you away and slow, heavy melodies pounding you into the ground.
All this is supported by intense vocals and lyrics which shed some light on the dark sides of existence, bitter reality at its worst, described in an almost poetic way.
Since its foundation in 1996, the band spawned 6 recordings:
Blo.torch is searching for a suitable label to release their most recent recording, the full-length album "Volatile".
The general theme for "Volatile" is a retrospect on the downfall of the world as we know it by mankind’s own doing. The style which was introduced on the debut album and explored in more depth on Plan B, is taken to a new level on which the band has clearly found its own identity. Melody and subtlety have made way for aggression and a direct approach. In 35 minutes the listener is treated to 10 well-balanced thrash attacks.
Throughout the years Blo.torch shared the stage with Holland’s best like Altar, God Dethroned, Orphanage and Within Temptation, but also filled the support slot for Testament, Anathema Dew Scented and My Dying Bride. Also, Blo.torch was the winner of the most prestigious regional talent competition Grote Prijs van Zuid-Holland 2004.
