French band TORRENS take their name from Latin, which could mean the impetuosity, violence and speed of a torrent as well as the intense heat of an overwhelming sun.
The musical project is led by Fera, active since 2019 when he released his first Ambient Rock solo album, Voiceless Spring.
In 2022, Fera began working on this artistic project with guitarist, singer and composer Thomas Garcia, whom he has known since 2010. Together, they have been playing in the Progressive Black Metal band Orob since the release of their first EP in 2011.
They are both freeing themselves from the codes of Ambient Rock, fusing their taste for extreme, electronic and pop music, and proposing an aesthetic at the antipodes of the first album.
Les Lois d'Airain (The Laws of Bronze), features energetic Post Rock mixed with layers of dissonant and stripping electronic music. Here too, the album's concept remains central to the band's artistic approach: the laws that govern us, that we create and that pile up, are a mythology, specific to each culture. The nature of the human being is to be born without faith or law, then to create, to build his faith and his law, step by step, until destruction and reconstruction.
To evoke this message, TORRENS immerses himself in the surrealist imagination, to ‘banish the déjà-vu, and seek out the not-yet-seen’.
