The origin of the formation back in the summer of 2009, when met

Thomas Pint (bass),

Michael Jandrisevits (guitar) and Florian Giessauf (drums) for the

first time in a rehearsal room,worn by the desire to music without

blinkers and free of any barriers to make.

According booming amplifiers, free psychedelic improvisations and long

solos were the product of this time dedicated to the music. After

about five months of existence the trio was named after the Aztec King

“Montezuma” (Haydn Rockt! 2009), for a compilation on the first song.

In winter 2010 it was forced to calm the gentlemen, as the drummer

left the band for family reasons. A musical rethink was needed.

This resulted in the spring of 2011 for filling the drums with Klaus

Gulyas, while Bernard Gager took over the vocals and the second

guitar.

The resulting stylistic changes forced the four musicians in a new

musical direction.

From seemingly endless, sometimes 50-minute jams developed structured

forms and a sophisticated songwriting. TORSO was born.

In its relatively short existence, the young band already shared the

stage with famous groups such as Siena Root, Karma to Burn, Golden Void, The: Egocentrics, Mars Red Sky, Glowsun, Umor, Danava or Saviours.

The result of the many sweaty hours in the rehearsal room released in

May 2012 in a first EP called (“Inside”) on “Stone Free Records” found

precipitation and entered TORSO transnational respect in relevant

magazines, radio stations and musicblogs.

A psychedelic journey.

Influenced by early rock.

From deep in a hole.
