Today, California hardcore band Torena announce their upcoming album, No Control, set for release on October 4th 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.

Having previewed the album earlier this summer with “False Compassion,” Torena now unveil single “No Mercy.” Pulling influence from predecessors like Hatebreed and Terror, the song smashes from the start with a tough vocal delivery and ample riffs. Young lends his pipes alongside vocalist Julien Urias adding extra fury to the track before leading into a groove-driven breakdown that closes out the record. You can stream the track HERE.

Diving into the lyrics, the band shares:

“People who constantly lie to your face and fuck you over and expect no consequences for their actions, so you don’t deal with them anymore and cut them off.”

No Control is available for preorder now through DAZE, as well as though Rough Trade and Record Store Finder.

Torena will head out on a North American tour this fall 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.
