TORPOR

TORPOR are an atmospheric sludge/doom metal band from Bristol & Wales, UK.

Of the many justly earned superlatives to have been used to describe Torpor’s music, there is perhaps one that rings most true; cathartic. There is something undeniably purgative and purifying; deep at the heart of their crushing, heaving blend of noise, sludge, and post metal. The Japanese art of Kintsukuroi sees craftspeople mending shattered pottery using precious metals, creating beauty out of the broken. Torpor’s shriving interweaving of brutality and ethereal beauty accomplishes both feats – it will destroy and restore.
