Torn Relics - Bleeding in Colour (2025)

Torn Relics is a duo from London, Romek Boyer is doing the beats while Aimee Mullen is playing violin and bodhan and also sometimes singing (sometimes melodic, sometimes more riotgirl). Bleeding in Colour is their new album, and another fine piece of their sophisticated industrial/dark ambient meets Dead Can Dance music. And as usual there's a nice diversity in the songs, including a good one with some ragga style vocals. Highly recommended!

Torn Relics - Burning Injustice (2021)

Torn Relics have a new album out, this time released by the excellent label Instruments of Discipline, a good match. The album's called Burning Injustice. First half of the album is in line with their previous work (I reviewed HERE their previous album), mostly some classy dark ambient with violin and percussions and a few subtle techno beats. Then they bring some new elements, the most spectacular being the synthwave with vocals track "Disguise", an excellent song and a good surprise, then for the second half of the album  their sound is getting harder going in an industrial techno direction, good as well, done with their usual sophistication and good taste. So it's a successful second album (and third release), keeping strong their basics while adding new elements to make their music even more interesting. Recommended stuff.

Torn Relics - Abolish the Dogma (2020)

Torn Relics is a duo making industrial music, Romek Boyer is doing the beats while Aimee Mullen is playing violin and Bodhan and also sometimes singing. Abolish the Dogma, their second album, is nicely sophisticated and mixing elements from various styles, industrial techno, dub techno, dark ambient and even doom metal. They are good at creating dark and mysterious atmospheres.
