The band was formed 1980 by Chris J. First, Steve Streaker and Claus Wildt. Stefan Wedlund did the vocals but soon Dan Dark joined the band to do the voice.
The band released their debut EP "Fireraiser" in 1982, and shortly after that they toured around Europe and did some festivals with as well as Motörhead as the German heavy metal band Warlock.
After nearly twenty years of silence Dan Dark started to plan a couple of reunion shows. Dan contacted the other guys in the band to see if they were up for it but unfortunately it seemed that due to various things Dan was the only guy who had the time and effort, to put the old metal machine rolling again. He had the idea of putting the band together again for a long time and he wouldn't give up the dream of playing the old songs again to the fans.
Dan would like to introduce new members in Torch:
Guitarists Eric Rauti from Swedish metalband Dreamland, Mr Kennywise from Swedish hardrock/metalband The Citadel, Drummer Magnus "Dynamite" Ulfstedt (former Talisman, Royal Hunt, Eclipse, Mitch Malloy and Sha-Boom etc.) and finally basplayer Jörgen "Poe" Andersson (The Citadel, former Baltimoore and Bloodbound)!
Save your strenght and stay tuned for upcomming gigdates and new album info!
£leTriKa sounds completely different from any Metal band you have ever heard. The Brazilian rhythms and the Portuguese language added to the songs makes its style unique, giving birth to a new kind of Metal. If you are really looking for something new about Metal, you should check £leTriKa out!
Hugs from Brazil, Claudio David
