notes

Torsion has endeavored to step outside of the box: they are about making interesting, challenging music. Torsion focuses on songwriting that combines primal rhythms, strong melodies, and layers of 'Industrial' sequencing. Their music is a blending of organic sound with cold machines. This synthesis of sounds creates a unique experience that the band has dubbed 'Sensual Noise'.

Torsion's music revolves around darker-edged themes. Some of the songs are inspired by unbalanced relationships and the instability and anger that occur between people; while other songs contemplate the times in a person's life where their self-assessment rates exceptionally low-where they feel worthless and alone. Another favorite subject matter is seduction, exploring the thrill of luring someone in and the guilty pleasure of such feelings.

2005 has seen the Release of Torsion's latest album "Faded." In supporting this album, Torsion will be touring the East coast of the United States, and Beyond.

    Kathryn of Torsion has such a powerful and amazing voice. She sings to your soul! The tunes are awesome! I highly recommend this CD to anyone!

  • Yippe-ki-yay!
    author: Jon

    In an era where people are charging $15+ for generic, repetative music, it is nice to see a band like Torsion take a hit in the wallet in order to get their music out. I'm a poor college kid, so I know the value of every dollar I spend, and very few of my dollars have gone to such greatness. The CD continues what we've come to expect from Torsion- great atmosphere + amazing vocals + a certain je ne sais quoi. Brilliant music from a band who deserves more attention than they get. Can't wait for a tour...maybe a stop in Albquerque, NM? Check out this CD from a band deserving of much admiration.

  • Great band!
    author: Angela

    I have also recently purchased Torsion's cd Faded, and totally love it! they are awesome.

  • Faded Rocks
    author: Rick

    I recently purchased Torsion's album Faded, and what can I say but they Rock. Their music has an originality to it that has been for a long time lacking in 90% of the Rock bands that have recently come out. People will take notice of this and it will be the key to Torsion's success. In time everyone will know who Torsion is; A KICK ASS HARDCORE ROCK BAND!!!!

  • great blend of talent
    author: tookthatredpill

    enjoying the music all the time

  • Portrays powerful emotions with brutal sincerity.
    author: Glenn P Mardis

    Faded captures the sentiments of a shattered soul and is able to portray these powerful emotions with brutal sincerity. Faded takes the listener down the spiral path into the abyss of one's own heart but does not leave the listener in a state of despair as the last track is up-lifting and provides the listener with a modicum of hope.

  • Soon everyone will know who Torsion is!
    author: Buck from New York

    Finally picked up Faded...IT RULZZZ!!! Thank you Torsion...for making such fine Music. CD Baby rules too. Peace

  • Great CD!!!

  • This Band Rocks!!
    author: fred bailey

    I first heard of Torsion on MySpace and bought all their CDs. They all rock and wish they would come west and play some shows in my area. Give them a spin, you'll like em!

  • This CD Rocks!
    author: Dee

    I just bought this CD and it is awesome! All the songs on this CD Rock. Great sound!!!

  • Kathryn is more belting banshee than shrieking diva on "Faded"
    author: Helen Thompson

    Torsion's all grown up. In the seven or so years they've been performing in the Philadelphia area, they've often found themselves in the shadow of the bands that helped them break into the market. But now, thanks to their burgeoning popularity on MySpace.com, a new recording studio they've put together in West Chester and a whole hell of a lot of skill and persistence, their new album is poised to put Torsion firmly in the highest echelon of Philadelphia's dark rock scene. Lead vocalist Kathryn Matuch is more belting banshee than shrieking diva on Faded, and way more sophisticated than other hard-rock corset-bound sirens carefully packaged for mainstream consumption (that's you, Amy Lee). You cannot mistake the influences here: "Broken" pays direct rumbling-bass homage to Stabbing Westward. The infectious MySpace hit "Push Me" could be what'll happen if Garbage crosses swords with Evanescence in a dark alley. The electronic percussion and gnawing guitars throughout echo Downward Spiral-era Nine Inch Nails. But what makes Faded stand out is its production value. Finally a Torsion studio package does justice to their live act. --Helen H. Thompson

  • Awesome..
    author: Sadez

    If you ever heard Torsion live, .. they rock just as hard on the cd. If you've only heard the cd.. they rock just as hard live. One of the best cds, I've ever owned.. and I play it anytime I'm on a way to a show.. just to get hyped up!

  • Pretty generic. Much better goth-rock out there.
    author: Matt

    Frankly, I've heard all this stuff before. There is no new ground being broken here - standard effects loops and synth noises that make the band's influences blatantly obvious. I wouldn't go so far as to say they are ripping anyone off, but I certainly know people who would...Perhaps as a musician I would just rather listen to music that is different and unique. Point is, this stuff has been done before and done much better.

  • Soooooooooooooooo awesome
    author: alicek

    all the songs are cool. But my favorite is''remembering"' Love da tunes.. peace

  • Very good, just as the last two were.
    author: Paladin

    I've been following Torsion for many years through Philly and I have seen many shows. "Faded" was very good and long waited for. I highly reccommend it for anyone who likes the band, there is real talent here and I wish "Kathryn and the boys" well in the future.

  • Beautiful Dark Forboding River of Rock
    author: Lynette Johnson

    From the first chords the music and lyrics go straight into the dark places in your own mind and soul The music could be the soundtrack to an Anne Rice Novel Its dark and lovely The music goes into you and flows through you like your blood pulsing through your veins COMPLETELY AWESOME

  • Hot! Gripping! Sexy! An aural treat!
    author: Scott Landrun

    From the building tribal rhythms of "Fade Away" into the in your face sound of "Broken" this Cd plays in my player from beginning to end! Soon to be classics like "Push Me,""Remembering," and "Grey" stick with you. I'm singing the words over and over again! This is clearly not only the best sounding CD I recently purchased but also the best looking too! You guys (and Gal ;) ) didn't cut any corners. Its clearly shows. Great work!
