Sounds Like: The first CD "Silence" is Techno/Hard Rock. It was recorded using Drum machines and loops. Its still hard rock but its a little quirky...The second CD "Binge & Purge" is more organic. It was recorded live, one take with very few overdubs. It somewhere between "Kiss" and "Black Sabbath".The new stuff is more melodic but still very organic along the lines of "Audioslave"... The new CD is available now here at the Torok Myspace page, also at Torokmusic.com and Nightmare records...
