LIGHT THE TORCH released their brilliant new album ‘You Will Be The Death Of Me‘ in June the album hit the Official Australian Digital albums chart at # 18 and drew critical acclaim for the release which has some of the best Metal anthems heard for a long time and a contender for album of the year!
LIGHT THE TORCH have recharged the 1987 Terence Trent D’Arby classic ‘Sign Your Name‘ as the record’s climax. Shimmering keys bleed into an overpowering verse before it snaps into the immortal chorus beefed up with thick distortion. Howard’s instantly recognizable vocals soar over the track with soul, power and emotion.
Time fortifies the bonds between us. Since emerging in 2018, LIGHT THE TORCH have grown stronger in lockstep together as a band and as friends. Through this growth, the Los Angeles, CA trio—Howard Jones [vocals], Francesco Artusato [guitar], and Ryan Wombacher [bass]—only enhanced every aspect of their signature sound. Upheld by head-spinning seven-string virtuosity, yet also anchored to skyscraping melodies, the group crafted twelve no-nonsense and no-holds-barred metallic anthems on their 2021 second full-length album, You Will Be The Death of Me [Nuclear Blast]. This time around, they also welcomed Whitechapel’s Alex Rudinger on drums. “He’s incredible,” says Fran. “He was exactly what we needed.”
In the end, the bond between LIGHT THE TORCH burns brighter than ever in the music as they deliver a definitive statement with You Will Be The Death Of Me.
“We wanted to make a fully listenable and fun album that doesn’t let up,” Howard leaves off. “At the same time, we’re showing some heart, passion, and connection. It’s what we’ve always intended to do with this band.”
