Floor, formed by former Cavity members (vocalist-guitarist Anthony Vialon and drummer Henry Wilson), were an influential Florida-based band.
The eight-disc compilation Below and Beyond (Robotic Empire) summarizes
the career of the bass-less grunge-pop band Floor, that, after the mediocre
Floor (2002),
concluded with Dove (No Idea, 2004), containing the 20-minute doom-fest Dove.
Floor's latter-day guitarists Steve Brooks and Juan Montoya went on to form Torche, while
Henry Wilson formed a trio, Dove, that debuted with Dove (2004).
Torche reinvented pop-metal or grunge or both for the generation that had been raised on doom-metal. They sounded like a super-heavy version of Nirvana on Torche (Robotic Empire, 2005) and
especially Meanderthal (Hydra Head, 2008), packing catchy bubblegum melodies into bombshells of massive distorted riffs and seismic drumming.
Torche packed eight songs in 22 minutes on
Songs For Singles (Hydra Head, 2010), including some of their catchiest
creations yet: UFO and Shine On My Old Ways.
