Finnish melodic death metal band Torchia is releasing it’s third album ‘Arcane Magicae’ on February 9, 2024.
The band has so far released 3 singles (‘La Magra’, ‘Arcane Magicae’, ‘Rat Shaman’) of the upcoming album.
Torchia from Tampere, Finland have been refining their dark and aggressive blend of melodic death metal since their inception in the early 2010s.
By actively touring both Finland and abroad, Torchia has gained reputation for their explosive live shows, spearheaded by their masked front figure Nox.
When it comes to ‘melodic death metal’, Torchia places strong emphasis on ‘death’, both musically and thematically.
Songwriter and guitarist Ville Riitamaa writes desperate tales of sorrow and mythology into Torchia’s own dark fantasy.
The band’s 2017 debut ‘Of Curses and Grief’ got praised for its thrash influenced old school melodeath.
Since their debut, Torchia has evolved a darker and more modern sound while staying true to their death metal roots.
The band’s third album ‘Arcane Magicae’ continues the path of guitar driven extreme metal while expanding their sound into new epic realms.
Finnish melodic death metal band
TORCHIA
released new single/video
‘La Magra’
Composition & Lyrics by Ville Riitamaa
Finnish melodic death metal necromancers Torchia released a new song ‘La Magra’ with a striking music video.
The song is the first single from the band’s upcoming third album.
Without forgetting melody, guitarist Ville Riitamaa elaborates:
“‘La Magra’ is a soul-ripping remedy found in evil and misery. For such a spiteful story, a touch of the melancholy of Finnish language was definitely needed. When it comes to the composition, the song is an unprecedentedly nasty Torchia tune, and the main riff takes no prisoners.”
The sinister music video, typical of Torchia, was produced in collaboration with Obliviart Productions.
The video uses CGI graphics, which is a whole new element for the band.
Vocalist Edward Torchia:
“When we started writing the script, I soon realized that we are about go beyond this reality. The story of the song was simply crying for visual effects. The end result takes the viewer to another world.”
The band’s third album will be released later in the autumn.
The album is a sequel to the widely acclaimed ‘Of Curses and Grief’ and ‘The Coven’.
Torchia take to the stage next time on 10th of February at the legendary Yo-talo in their hometown Tampere with the warm-up acts Anzillu and Sirkuit Preiker.
