Local thrash metal band Torrefy started out as many local bands do: they were a bunch of friends jamming (at a house party on New Year\u2019s Eve, to boot). But they kept at it, and now they\u2019re hard at work on their second album.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe went ahead as most bands do, just jamming as colleagues for the sake of music. Then our first album kinda just fell into place when we realized we had enough material for one,\u201d says bassist Simon Smith, adding that it was \u201ca baby you didn\u2019t mean to have.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Victoria<\/a>
Victoria heavy metal band Torrefy feel the heat: their debut album was called Thrash and Burn<\/em> (photo provided).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After that album, Thrash and Burn<\/i>, came out, the band continued to gig around town, particularly at Logan\u2019s, which drummer Dan Laughy describes as the band\u2019s \u201chome base.\u201d They\u2019ve also managed to play some bigger gigs, such as Armstrong MetalFest, held in Armstrong, BC.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe got to play with [Quebec death metal band] Cryptopsy and [Vancouver technical death metal band] Archspire, among many others,\u201d says Laughy. \u201cWe couldn\u2019t hear a damn thing while performing, but we had a fucking blast.\u201d<\/p>\n

The band are currently at work on their second album, The Infinity Complex<\/i>; they are feeling more ambitious this time around, it would seem, as Laughy says that the release will be a concept album with a full story running from beginning to end.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s faster, longer, and more in-depth compared to our last album,\u201d he says, adding that \u201cit\u2019s definitely a democracy when it comes to writing.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
