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 twelve years this colossal band have been obliterating stages across the UK and mainland Europe, leaving behind an impressive discography along the way. TORPOR's latest full length album Abscission was met with overwhelming critical praise upon its release back in September 2023. A fine tapestry of sludge metal, lumbering doom riffs, forward thinking post-rock dynamics, cerebral drone passages, ambient textures, and stark spoken poetry - Abscission saw TORPOR distilling all their greatest strengths and influences into their tightest and leanest set of songs to date. Recorded by long time collaborative producer Wayne Adams (whose credits include Wallowing, Green Lung, Possessor and more) out in a very remote studio in the Welsh hillsides, Abscission captures a certain kind of isolation, confronting one's deepest fears and desires through total solitude. In 2024 TORPOR performed two heroic sets at experimental music haven Roadburn Festival in the Netherlands. As well as their now notorious early morning ArcTanGent Festival appearance, cementing their place as a force to be reckoned with in the live setting. This year the trio have also supported Body Void, as well as playing lauded sets at Doomlines and CvltFest.
FFO: Amenra, Sumac, Big|Brave, The Body, Thou, Primitive Man.
Show starts at 7:30pm.
