SLOWTORCH have a NEW SINGER!
Peter decided to leave a while ago because he felt he couldn’t dedicate enough time to the band. It was a tough decision for all of us, even more so as he is a founding member of SLOWTORCH and has put a lot of hard work into the band. He will continue to support us. Thanks for six fantastic years, Peter!
We started looking for a replacement immediately and after a few auditions finally found our guy – PLEASE WELCOME MATTEO aka MELA!!!

We played our first show with him last night (25/03/2010 @ Papperlapapp, Bolzano/Bozen, IT) and man, it was a blast!
We would like to thank the other candidates, our friends for their support and all the people who came down to see us last night! Thank you, danke, grazie!

I am personally still a CD buyer and probably always will be. I like having the physical artwork in my hands. Mp3’s to me are not very attractive because I feel I’m not getting my money’s worth.

— Tom Stevens, Nokturnel, http://bit.ly/Injd6yI think more bands should prioritize exposure over sales. The more exposure, the more sales. Be it ticket sales, album sales, or merch sales. That’s the way I see it.
— Necrol, Secrets She Kept, http://bit.ly/HEaNHX...so now we’re thinking about the next step. And don’t worry. When we hit the road, I guarantee we won’t miss the UK!

— Somber von Plaag, Plaag, http://bit.ly/IvTyW2The lyrics are mainly based in fantasy, and try to convey a larger concept, peppered with metaphors that hint at some very personal events and feelings.
— Ruptured Souls, The Furious Horde, http://bit.ly/HyfPUxI think illegal downloading is fine if you download just to listen, and if you like it, you buy it. If you don’t like it, delete it off your computer.
