goatbong Quite possibly the best EXISTENTIAL SLUDGE album ever. Seeing them again on their farewell tour reminded me how crushingly loud they can be & how beautiful disgusting sounding music can be. Also more bands need a bassist + poet combo! Favorite track: Interior Gestures.

fallende taube Even more than the album before it, this is a disturbing examination of the varieties of heaviness! Favorite track: Interior Gestures.

about

This album grew from a place of personal loss and disappearance, and became an exploration of the different spaces opening up within. Our main guiding principle through the writing and recording was the idea of this psychological journey, and how through our individual processes of meditation, contemplation and catharsis, loss and identity are transformed. We've always worked by allowing our experiences to converge into something new - Abscission is our collective dialogue of rupture and renewal.


Press for ABSCISSION:

"The guttural depths this music reaches with the croaking vocals and abyssal basslines is difficult to describe, so you’re going to have to experience it for yourself." – CVLT Nation

"Abscission is TORPOR's most considered work thus far; it feels special. They have become just completely towering, existing in the moody space between massive overhanging doom dread and post metal expanse. The merging of the two nobody does better, worldwide." – Ninehertz

"Abscission does a near perfect job of creating an atmosphere of hope, renewal and rebirth, alongside death and withering." - 9/10, Noizze

"TORPOR have delved right into the autumnal process. The results are simply stunning. Abscission is bleak yet warm and so very very heavy." - Echoes and Dust

"Everything is built to almost machine-like tolerance, nothing is wasted or overused - anguished screams, feedback, all of it controlled to explode and then slowly fall away." - 8/10, Musipedia of Metal

"A well-crafted and well-paced journey into bleak aural horror" – Wonderbox Metal
