“They have nasty riffs, and they get people moving. That’s really all you need.” – Stereogum

“Torena are a band to keep an eye on and No Control looks to take their acclaim further with a Hatebreed-inspired, groove-laden delivery of hard instrumentation.” – Heaviest of Art

“Top-notch tracks which breed some of the best metallic hardcore right now.” – Rock N’ Load

Today, California hardcore band Torena release their new album, No Control, through DAZE. Following 2023’s Evil Eyez EP and 2021’s Cerebellum Prison LP, the eight songs on the record find Torena continuing to bolster themselves as a need to know band in heavy music. It’s their most angry and rapid output yet, assisted by Taylor Young at Studio 606 and The Pit who recorded and mixed the LP, with mastering by Nick Townsend at Infrasonic Sound. The record delivers with tough vocals, ample riffs, and breakdowns that will have you moshing in your room.

On the lyrical content, the band focus on “Struggles with mental health and dealing with living in a world where chaos can be around any corner. Kind of pessimistic view, but a real perspective.”

No Control can be streamed HERE and is available for purchase now through DAZE, as well as through Rough Trade and Record Store Finder.

Torena kicks off a North American tour today supporting Sunami and Ingrown, with Apex Predator, Scarab, and AWOL on select dates. Full routing below.

Torena is Julien Urias – Guitar/Vocals, David Stalsworth – Drums, Mika Ryan – Bass, Dante Denoms – Guitar.
