Greg Johnson and Adam Hutter released “The Winged Sun” early in 2012.
I’ve been revealing my local favorites of 2012 in random order over the last few days. See who else has made the list at the local favorites link.
Torrent
“The Winged Sun.”
Torrent needs to be recognized for the epic nature of “The Winged Sun.”
If you love metal, the album combines the best of thrash, progressive and modern subgenres, culminating in cinematic album closer “Leviathan,” which clocks in at more than 20 minutes.
Check out the skyrocketing solos on “Fallen Cities,” too.
I love the backstory behind this Ontario band. Greg Johnson from On Being Human started it in high school and Adam Hutter joined a few years later, but it went on the backburner while Johnson worked with On Being Human and at Zombies Unlimited in Ontario. Then, they finally went back to it.
