LOUCIFERSPEAKS.COM (UK)
“…There's something about this band that makes me smile whenever I listen to them. Perhaps it's their straight forward approach to metal? Or perhaps it's just the feel good factor to most of the songs I've heard from them? Whatever it is, it's damn good.......”
THE MURDER INN (ITA)
“…heavy-rock, in cui uno stonatissimo (nel senso fattissimo) Chuck Berry flirta ripetutamente con i Corrosion of Conformity più ruvidi, i Black Sabbath e quella schiettezza compositiva che ha fatto degli AC/DC dei padrini di un certo modo di concepire l'hard rock...”
W-FENEC.ORG (FR)
“…le groupe met d'un coup sec derrière la nuque un terme à la démonstration. Avec classe et une sacrée efficacité...”
- ADDING FUEL TO FIRE -
W-FENEC.ORG (FR)
“…un cocktail rock'n roll hautement éthylique et foutrement bien gaulé...”
LOUCIFERSPEAKS.COM (UK)
“…perfect for sinking a few beers to and then headbanging the night away.”
PERKELE.IT (ITA)
“…stoner rock imbastardito e sudato all'inversosimile, metallizzato a dovere, dritto sui denti senza troppi complimenti.”
CATHOUSE R'n'R (ITA)
“…Riff ‘ciccioni’ e possenti, dalle ritmiche quadrate che ci riportano al classico rock psichedelico di fine anni sessanta”
BNR Metal Pages (USA)
“…gritty, dirty, heavy rock. Fuel might be the start of something interesting.”
CIRCUITO SONORO (ITA)
“…cavalcate tese e massicce…METAL, mica roba da eunuchi.”
STONERROCK.COM (USA)
“…cool.”
ROCK AND A HARD PLACE (USA)
“…These guys fit right in with bands like Cathedral, Zeke, Dozer, Electric Frankenstien, Ironboss, Black Label Society, Entombed and Motorhead. I'd be very surprised if we don't hear more about this band in the future, hopefully being from Italy will have caused them to be overlooked.”
CORE & CO (FR)
“…des musiciens qui connaissent la bonne mecanique et qui ne se branlent pas sur Black Sabbath à l'arrière de leur camion comme la plupart des eternels routards du sludge. Slowtorch est sacrément bien cylindré et n'est pas pret de tomber en panne d'essence!”
CORRIERE DELL’ALTO ADIGE (ITA)
“…potenziale incendiario”
METAL HAMMER (ITA)
“…definitely worth your attention!”
BIOGRAPHY
Read the FULL BIO on the Official SLOWTORCH Website
SLOWTORCHhave been around since early 2004. Known as Godmachine at first, the band was renamed after a number of line-up changes. The style remained the same - loud, straight-in-the-face rock music with stoner influences, which has been compared to that of Clutch, Black Label Society and Black Sabbath. The band played support slots for various big names, including Ill Niño, Nick Oliveri’s Mondo Generator, Dutch heavyweights Toner Low and German krautrockers Colour Haze.
Over the years, SLOWTORCH released two demo recordings, Generator (4 tracks, 2004) and Scrap Metal & Oil Stains (3 tracks, 2006), and a full length album called Adding Fuel To Fire, (Blindness Records, 2007). Adding Fuel To Fire was well received by international media, got excellent reviews and is being distributed online through various platforms.
Some songs are available for download from the SLOWTORCH website. Part of the band's older material, along with Adding Fuel To Fire, is being played on a number of radio stations in Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Canada, the US. In July 2008, Another One Down from the album Adding Fuel To Fire was featured on Vol. 10 of the Kill City sampler series published by US label 272 records.
In January 2009, SLOWTORCH released their new EP called From Radiation They Came.
