Blo.Torch

Blo.Torch is a Dutch melodic death metal band from The Hague. Freely mixing genres, their style has been described as black metal. Formed by Marvin Vriesde and Hassan Moechtar in 1996, they experienced a breakthrough when Terrorizer gave their debut demo, The Plot Sickens..., a good review, which caught the attention of Earache Records label manager Dan Tobin. After contacting the band and listening to more material, he offered BloTorch a record deal with Earache sublabel Wicked World Records. Blo.Torch released their self titled debut album on Wicked World in 1999. Blo.Torch and Wicked World parted ways in 2001.
