TORCH RUNNER (North Carolina, USA) – Committed To The Ground (used LP copy) (2014) Southern Lord (re-issue) on Black vinyl.
Committed To The Ground is often cited as the bridge between the band’s raw Crust beginnings and the even more refined chaos of their follow-up, Endless Nothing. It captured the "Southern Lord sound" of the early 2010's perfectly—taking the speed of Hardcore and the weight of Extreme Metal to create something that feels genuinely dangerous.
Most of the 12 tracks are frantic, sub-60-second blasts of HM-2-driven grind. The guitar tone is thick, filthy, and metallic, reminiscent of bands like Nails, Trap Them, or Dead in the Dirt.
Twelve songs in 22 minutes. Ferocious, venomous Blackened Hardcore/Grind. On their debut full-length studio album, these guys waste no precious seconds in letting the listener attempt to catch their breath. Originally recorded in December of 2011 at Legitimate Business, Greensboro, North Carolina.  --  Southern Lord – LORD191
