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. The record delivers with tough vocals, ample riffs, and breakdowns that will have you moshing in your room. On the lyrical content, the band focus on “struggles with mental health and dealing with living in a world where chaos can be around any corner. Kind of pessimistic view, but a real perspective.” ‘No Control’ is available for purchase now through DAZE, as well as through Rough Trade and Record Store Finder.

Torena is Julien Urias – Guitar/Vocals, David Stalsworth – Drums, Mika Ryan – Bass, Dante Denoms – Guitar.
