ALBUM PRESS:-

"What's exciting is that you feel there's much more to come from them, that they can develop into true innovators in the scene for years to come. And for now, From Nothing Comes Everything is here, already testing the doom boundaries and thrilling at every turn." - Ninehertz.

"Nine-minute closer “Everything We Left Behind” might as well be made of skull fragments and burst eardrums, its heft giving way gradually to deconstructed ambience and a finale of abrasive noise. Torpor‘s first is brutal, fierce and terrifying most of all for how solidified and assured the band sounds in their aesthetic — how at home they are in the churning chaos they’ve made." - The Obelisk.

"Mercilessly dense and shouty, hardcore sludgy bleakness with hints of Will Haven that doesn't really let up for a second. ...Uneasy listening at its best." - Terrorizer

"I listened to this album at least three times yesterday, and will probably listen to it three more times today. ...Torpor is a sludgy doom band, sure, but they're far from content to coast along on recycled Iron Monkey riffs; rather, they channel genre-twisting sadists like Khanate, the Melvins, and Thorr's Hammer, dredging up all manner of noisy distorted menace in the process. Crank this up to 11 if you're having a shitty day, or a shitty week, or a shitty life." - Kim Kelly/ Noisey

"When music is true and honest, you can just feel it comes from the depths of a bands’ soul. Nothing is contrived or factitious; the music speaks for itself with pure vitality no matter what the genre. A good amount of pop music is complete garbage, just bland uninspired money making machines that couldn’t care less about musicianship or the art itself. On the other hand, when you hear a band or artist truly give itself to their craft, it undeniably moves you. To my delight, TORPOR is one of those bands in which the music tears out emotions from the gut with some of the heaviest riffs on the planet." - Rock n Reel Reviews.

"The songs on From Nothing Comes Everything, apart from sharing a common sensibility, have an unremitting undertone of resistance, this abeyant sense of wanting to break-out. Recorded, mixed and mastered by Wayne Adams, the album has a brash, weighted, industrial sound with enough muddiness thrown in to lend the music that tension. If this record is anything to go by, Torpor is a name that you’re going to hear more of in the coming years. This stuff is heavy" - Echoes & Dust.

"...(From Nothing Comes Everything) expands upon the borders of their sound, claiming new territory as their own and remaining completely and utterly devastating in the process. Dissonant riffs snap at you from a post-metal haze throughout, the first tremors of the near 11-minute epic 'From This Time' quite simply taking your ears by siege. Yet, for all the devastation they cause, the post-metal haze that capes the entire record stops it from becoming overbearing, somehow managing to find a dwelling on the spectrum where brutality and lucidity are of equal measure and effect." - The Sludgelord.
