Torok
"Binge & Purge"
(2001 Nightmare Records) 

By Wayne Klinger

You have to like this band if you dig a mix of 70's,80's and 90's. The band project consists of ex-Impaler guitarist Michael Torok, Equinox's Eric Althaus on drums, bassist Aaron Davis from Minnesota-based Sublevel and seasoned local singer (Minnesota), Bryan Erickson who reminds me of a cross between Ian Gillan and Paul DiAnno. Torok's music fuses 70's greats like Kiss,Deep Purple,Thin LIzzy with Iron Maiden and Trouble with guitarwork in the Blues and Classical realm of Morse,Beck and Clapton. Just a superb 11-song release with guitar-fueled Hard Rock and recommended listening for those missing out those days of actual guitar solos and more technical songwriting...it's all here and Torok delivers. www.nightmare-records.com
