Torche was an American stoner rock/doom metal band hailing from Miami, Florida. Formed in 2004 by Steve Brooks after the breakup of his previous band Floor, Torche quickly gained recognition for their unique sound and powerful performances.

The original lineup consisted of *Steve Brooks*, *Juan Montoya*, *Jonathan Nuñez*, and *Rick Smith*. However, in late 2008, Montoya departed due to musical differences. Torche then enlisted touring guitarist Max before Andrew Elstner joined the band in 2011. Elstner left Torche in 2016, and Eric Hernandez took over his position.

After a successful run spanning nearly two decades, Steve Brooks announced his departure from Torche in May 2022. The band played their final concert on October 16, 2022 at the Tabernacle in Atlanta, GA. With a heavy heart but a legacy that will endure, Torche bid farewell to their devoted fans.

Heavy rock titans Torche make their Relapse debut with the thunderous 'Restarter', a ten song triumph of an album. Torche rose to popularity merging huge infectious melodies with downtuned, crushing sludgey rock and on 'Restarter' they've perfected the marriage. This is a record that is simultaneously hum-able and heavy that will just as easily appeal to fans of Dinosaur Jr and Sonic Youth as it will Melvins and High On Fire-heads. But what truly sets Torche apart from their peers is their ability to use top-notch songwriting and soaring, harmonic vocals to create records that are heavier and louder and hookier than anyone else out there.  LP - Purple Vinyl.
