Torok

Torok is a Minnesota-based band named for guitarist Michael Torok, though in actuality the band history precedes his involvement. Torok (the man) is known for his work in the 80's cult shock metal band Impaler, but this band bears no resemblance to Impaler. Instead, after exploring various styles on their Silence album, Torok and his mates have settled down and gone for a seventies hard rock vibe on Binge & Purge. Even with a sound that's clearly not contemporary, the band manages to sound fresh and invigorating rather than tired and dated. Well-done, pure old-fashioned hard rock with a metallic edge, Binge & Purge is a quality album.
