Victoria (BC) - Dynamic Canadian extremists Torrefy have released a lyric video for "Torrn Apart By Machinery," a track from the band's forthcoming album Life is Bad.
"Torrn Apart By Machinery" (Lyric Video)
Black Speed Death Thrash! That's what Canada's Torrefy offer on forthcoming album Life is Bad, set to be self-released on July 1.
The band previously released a lyric video for the track "GFYD," which is available at this location. The official video for the album's first single, the aptly titled album-closer "Plague of Empires," is available at youtu.be/qO3jP4KoLwo; the single can be purchased/streamed here.
"A thrash-tinged speed metal fest, with
Ferguson's electric ridden screams howling all throughout. The tracks
are expansive, with varying time signatures, explosive riffs and soaring
melodic passages." (8.5/10)
- Wicked Metal Review
"Their view of traditional thrash metal
music is predominantly overtaken by more complex and aggressive
characteristics. This release is a remarkable step forward from their
previous release as it introduces an openness for multiple themes." (4/5)
- Metal-Rules
"New fans will definitely enjoy this
album if they want to find some thrash metal that has something to say
without saying it too quickly, and the musical depths and limits of some
of the longer tracks are worth hearing to show that some thrash bands
don’t have to play the same few riffs for three minutes just to get a
good song together." (4/5)
- Brutalism
Torrefy issued the following statement concerning Life is Bad and the progression of the band's sound since the release of 2016 progressive thrash album The Infinity Complex:
"Life is Bad is not a departure for Torrefy. Rather, it is a continuation of the journey to becoming the band that Torrefy was meant to be. Torrefy's
previous work lay more in the realm of Thrash metal, albeit not
traditional Thrash due to our leanings towards a more progressive sound
and a blending of influences ranging from Thrash metal to Death metal,
Black metal, Classic rock, and Punk to name a few. Our new record is
another step towards creating a sound that we refer to as ‘Black Speed
Death Thrash’. We feel that this album will showcase the band's
improvement in songwriting, vocal delivery, instrumentation, and
production.
Life is Bad is not a concept album like our previous album The Infinity Complex. Instead,
as the album title indicates, it is thematically geared towards the
fact that life is pretty brutal. The songs are emotionally charged and
full of diverse themes including an awareness of one's inescapable
mortality, humanity's unending greed and the desire for conquest and
their refusal to learn from their past, to being overrun by a swarm of
other worldly, bloodthirsty insects, and being caught in a machine that
is perpetually killing you and keeping you alive at the same time.
We think that this album is the best and most true representation of the Torrefy sound. We hope that you dig it!"
Life is Bad was
produced by Torrefy and Gustavo Valderama. The album was recorded by
Gustavo Valderama and Electric Flow Studios in Victoria BC Canada. The
album was mixed by Felipe Gonzales and Gustavo Valderama at Umbral
Studios in Caldas Colombia and Electric Flow Studios in Vancouver BC
Canada. Life is Bad was mastered by Joel Grind of Toxic Holocaust.
The virtual booklet for Life is Bad is available at this location.
