TORCHBEARER - the new album from THE SETUP. This record is by far the heaviest album they ever wrote. It captures their trademark live sound, so expect 33 minutes of exploding guitar riffing, hard hitting drums and vicious vocals.

Many of us crawl, but only a few reign…

After enduring a very demanding 2008 with personal loss and half of their line-up changed, the crawl & reign ep proved The Setup was more alive than ever. This release however was only a glimpse of what is coming. With their upcoming full length album 'Torchbearer' The Setup prove that they're still a force to be reckoned with. This record is by far the heaviest album they ever wrote and above all, it captures their trademark live sound. 33 minutes of explosive guitar riffing, hard hitting drums, and vicious vocals is Torchbearer in a nutshell. Songs like “Hostile Eyes”, “Drown and Sink” and "Another Heresy" are the living proof The Setup raised the bar once again. Recorded by Jacob Olsen (Born From Pain, Hatesphere, Moonspell, Gorefest) This collaboration resulted in 12 bone crushing songs that will grab you by the throat and leave you breathless. It’s no secret, The Setup faced some dark times which eventually led to an album that embodied this struggle, so no one will be surprised Torchbearer is an album full of anger, frustration and hate but even more it’s also an album of hope, because in a world where no one seems to care and many of us feel alone, the torchbearer will rise to show us there is more out there than what we are told.
