Damaged Goods With MISH SHA From TORIZON

Interview by Kris Peters
Brisbane rock/metal outfit Torizon have made a triumphant return to
music over the last couple of months, re-acquainting themselves
with fans with the single Damaged in August before pulverizing them
with recent track Martyr.
After taking a year off to focus more on what makes Torizon special
moreso than how special they could be, the band members returned
fresh and with greater intent, firing out of the gates with a
catchy single and promising a fresh musical direction that had been
hinted at previously without ever being fully realised.
The two fresh tracks, while offering glimpses into the revitalised
Torizon, have already been declared as stand-alone singles, with
the real change in momentum to come on next year's planned EP which
is still in the development stage.
Vocalist Mish Sha sat down with HEAVY to talk about not just where
they have been, but also where the band plans to go.
"Really good," she enthused when talking about the reception
afforded Martyr. "I think it was a mixture of things, relaunching
the band with Damaged, and that setting the foundations for this
year with our first single release in a couple of years. And then
coming from that releasing Martyr a few weeks after that has really
helped. You had people that were excited to hear the new sound and
the more metalcore vibe and new elements that are there in the new
songwriting style, and then to give them something new was really
great. It felt awesome."
In the full interview, Mish talks more about the new musical
direction, what sorts of things the band focussed on during their
time off, what the new EP is sounding like, coming back into the
music scene after so long out of touch, upcoming shows and more.
