 Finnish death metallers Torchia release their debut album ”Of Curses and Grief”on October 27th and heads on to tour Taiwan. The album is produced by Hiili Hiilesmaa (HIM, Amorphis, Ensiferum) so expectations might rise high for Hiilesmaa has worked with some top names out there. The band tells the sound they were after was some what old schoolish, organic and raw in a way that really serves the music. Advance sale is now on and you can get your own piece from Recordshop X (https://www.recordshopx.com) or Inverse Store (https://www.inverse.fi) where you can also find t-shirt bundles. ”Of Curses And Grief” will be distributed internationally. The first single ”Fury” is now out and there’s also a music video released for it. This is what the band itself had to comment about the video: ”In the video for Fury, Torchia accompanies nameless souls in their danse macabre. The protagonist sets out to defeat the judgemental light, but gets dragged back into darkness. The blind live out their agony, for it is the only thing that haven't been taken from them."

Emerge livehouse, Taichung www.torchia.fi https://www.facebook.com/Torchiaband/  The first new video release from the eclectic ensemble in six years includes stunning live footage and extensive bonus features beginning with ChthoniC's full performance at the 2013 Formoz Festival in Taipei, Taiwan, where they were joined by the Chai Feng Traditional Orchestra, as well as renowned Taiwanese opera singer Tang Mei-yun for a collaborative rendition of the track "Defenders Of Bú-Tik Palace." Additionally, the near-hour-long DVD offers up five spectacular music videos from their recently released Bú-tik full-length: "Defenders Of Bú-Tik Palace", "Supreme Pain For The Tyrant", "Sail Into The Sunset's Fire", "Set Fire To The Island" and "Next Republic". The music videos are an extraordinary blend of martial arts, combat fighting, dance and drama. ChthoniC members wire-fly through the air, bathe in water amid torrential downpours and travel through time to a party in the 1930's in an elaborate military alliance between Nazi Germany and the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) regime. The production truly highlights ChthoniC's irrefutable creativity both onstage and beyond. Other extras include behind-the-scenes footage from the video shoots as well as exclusive interviews with bassist Doris Yeh, director Vince Chuang and various backstage footage.

Called "a masterful and elegant tradition served underneath soaring thrash-influenced guitars, pummeling drums and a vocal performance that is absolutely stellar from an overlooked vocalist," by About.com, the critically adored "Bú-Tik" is centered around the story of the 228 Massacre, the Bú-Tik Palace and the Mirror Of Retribution, and emphasizes what bassist Doris Yeh describes as "righteous violence, justifiable defense, and the armed spirits". "Ián-Bú" will be available on DVD and Visual Digital Formats via Eagle Records on February 25, 2014. http://www.chthonic.org http://www.facebook.com/chthonic http://www.eaglerockent.com http://www.facebook.com/EagleRockEnt |
