BIOGPRAPHY
Back in 2011, the five-piece Melodic Death Metal group Torchia was forged in Tampere, Finland. For locals in that area, the line-up is a familiar one, featuring the likes of Pirkka Birkstedt and vocalist Kvist, both of Killjoy Corporation fame, as well as drummer Joonas Juntunen from Krypton. After two years of writing and honing their style, the group ventured into the studio to record their first demo, oNe, which was made available in late 2013.
The five members each share a deep passion for music (writing, recording, and playing) and this zest is evident in the band's 2015 release, the 3-song EP Ending Beginning, which also serves as an introduction to the group's new vocalist Eetu Hentunen.
Ville "Phinx" Riitamaa (lead guitar, backing vox), Henri Heikkinen (guitar), Pirkka Birkstedt (bass), and Joonas Juntunen (drums) round out the rest of this group who, according to their bio, have a "musical style...influenced from traditional old-school agony to thrash and speed metal, mixing it with some newer and modern pain."
