Torpedoes Launch New Album “Heaven’s Light Our Guide”

Portsmouth, UK based gothic punks Torpedoes have today released their fourth album, Heaven’s Light Our Guide, that is available through streaming platforms and on CD and vinyl here. Born across the lost years of Covid19, and the chaotic aftermath, the album sees principal songwriter Ray (Razor) Fagan (Red Letter Day) giving his take on the world we must all inhabit whether we like it or not. Heaven’s Light sees the band take their signature sound forward with an emphasis on keyboards, whilst retaining the spiky guitar driven edge that has served them so well in the past. Think Killing Joke, The Damned, Muse and The Cardiacs with a side helping of The Cure and you get close, ultimately however, they sound like Torpedoes. The album follows on from 2007’s The Gong Show, 2011’s Dark Times and 2018’s Black Museum.

Recorded, produced and mixed at Portsmouth’s Studio One28, with J D Callender (Cranes) at the desk. The record is Indulgent, rich, layered with keyboards, and at the same time stained with angular post-punk, lyrically making observations that most can’t be arsed to see or deal with. With Heaven’s Light Our Guide the band have created a poetic body of work that nods to their past, examines our collective future and most importantly makes the statement that we’ve fucked up our world and we have no-one to blame but ourselves.
