Torpor Abscission

No conversations discussing who are amongst the heaviest of the heaviest of UK metal acts can be complete without mentioning Bristol based sludge trio Torpor. Over the past ten years this colossal band have been obliterating stages across the UK and mainland Europe, leaving behind an impressive discography along the way. Rising London based label Human Worth proudly present Torpor's third full length album Abscission. A fine tapestry of sludge metal, lumbering doom riffs, forward thinking post-rock dynamics, cerebral drone passages, ambient textures and stark spoken poetry - Abscission sees Torpor distilling all their greatest strengths and influences into their tightest and leanest set of songs to date. Recorded by producer Wayne Adams (whose credits include Wallowing, Green Lung, Possessor and more), Abscission is a paean to earth shattering tones, subtle detailed textures, immersive sound design and most importantly... Absolutely Crushing Heaviness. "This is another world." - Aural Aggravation "Torpor shoot straight to the top of the pack by interspersing savage lumbering grooves and bleak growls with melancholic chimes and cinematic soundscapes." - Astral Noize
