Torena share crushing new single ‘No Mercy’ ft. Taylor Young
Announce new album ‘No Control’ out October 4th on DAZE. Touring with Sunami this Fall.
California hardcore band Torena announce their upcoming album, ‘No Control’, set for release on October 4th through DAZE. Following 2023’s ‘Evil Eyez’ EP and 2021’s ‘Cerebellum Prison’ LP, the eight songs on the record find Torena continuing to bolster themselves as a need to know band in heavy music. It’s their most angry and rapid output yet, assisted by Taylor Young at Studio 606 and The Pit who recorded and mixed the LP, with mastering by Nick Townsend at Infrasonic Sound. Having previewed the album earlier this summer with ‘False Compassion’ Torena now unveil single ‘No Mercy’. Pulling influence from predecessors like Hatebreed and Terror, the song smashes from the start with a tough vocal delivery and ample riffs. Young lends his pipes alongside vocalist Julien Urias adding extra fury to the track before leading into a groove-driven breakdown that closes out the record. Diving into the lyrics, the band shares:
“People who constantly lie to your face and fuck you over and expect no consequences for their actions, so you don’t deal with them anymore and cut them off.”
Torena will head out on a North American tour this fall supporting Sunami and Ingrown, with Apex Predator, Scarab and AWOL on select dates. Full routing below.
Torena is Julien Urias – Guitar/Vocals, David Stalsworth – Drums, Mika Ryan – Bass, Dante Denoms – Guitar.
