***Founded in 2016 in the Swiss city of Lausanne, Torpedo is made up of Carole Obère, on vocals and guitar, Jérôme Diserens, on bass and keyboard, and Andries Pfammater on drums. The group draws its energy from its beginnings in an industrial, post-apocalyptic and rough universe approaching no-wave and kraut with a touch of punk, while clinging to the force of wild nature carrier of hope. Orpheo_ Nebula is a piece built around six poems. A combination of noise rock, industrial, '70s influences, flirting with sludge, a few drones waves, feedback in different production methods, the psychedelia of words, sometimes spoken, sometimes spat or howled that every now and then ventures to caress grindcore. The guitars unfold in chiseled layers, clouds of light fuzz or sharp riffs. At times, atmosphere fly like fluorescent ghosts. The bass lines carry trance, powerful and purring now feline and again fiery, shaking the structure of the pieces. The drum, whose play is subtle and powerful, hit the tempo on a shining translation of the emotions of each moment.
