Out this week through Southern Lord is the merciless second LP from North Carolina-based trio, TORCH RUNNER, entitled Endless Nothing. Here, the band unleashes a brew of rabid, grinding, hardcore rage and hardline vocal tirades, making them a sure thing for diehard followers of Napalm Death, Dead In The Dirt, Nails and Homewrecker. Coinciding with the album’s street date today, American Aftermath is now playing the entire album, which devastatingly forces its way through thirteen-tracks in just over twenty-two minutes. Alongside the stream, a concise interrogation of the band is posted, giving some insight to the album’s creation, their upcoming tour assault and more.

Orders for both CD and LP versions of Endless Nothing, as well as Southern Lord’s recent reissue of the band’s Committed To The Ground debut on CD and LP are available HERE. Digital versions are available HERE.
In just two weeks, TORCH RUNNER will launch a massive West Coast US offensive in support of Endless Nothing, joining a Southern Lord package tour with labelmates Baptists and Obliterations, both also supporting brand new LPs out in October on Southern Lord. This unstoppable combination of lethal bands will pummel fans in a dozen cities up the coast into Canada and back, beginning with a Southern Lord showcase in Los Angeles on October 15th, were TORCH RUNNER, Baptists and Obliterations will join Excel, Goatsnake, Xibalba and more.
