Todd La Torre - Rejoice In The Suffering (2021)

[Aordave89]

Solo album ‘Rejoice In The Suffering’ out 5th February via RatPack Records.
 

Amped for this one - 2 killer singles. Reminds me of a prime Halford / Fight.

Who's in the band? Is he playing guitar and drums on most tracks?

I believe that Todd and guitarist Craig Blackwell wrote, recorded and self produced the full album.

Just found this.. It is just him and Craig Blackwell. Todd handled all vocals and drums and Craig was guitars and bass.  Decent watch

I've never heard him sing like this. I'm kinda excited to hear more.

It wasn’t what I was expecting - Gave me a bit of a Fight / Testament / Exodus vibe which is never a bad thing.

I missed this, thanks for posting. Another great song with a nice solo. Hyped for the album. 
 

That guy has a seriously killer voice.

Yeah, it's sounding good, so far.

This one arrived in the mailbox Friday; more pure METAL than his recent output with Queensryche... digging it so far.

I’m enjoying this one.. heavy riffing and some stunning vocals by Todd. Wasn’t as immediate on the first spin - but that’s how I prefer it as the album gets stronger with each play. Solid stuff.

Can't wait to get to it.

It’s up on Apple Music and Spotify if you fancy a listen before the physical version drops mate

Yeah, I've got it queued, but just need a proper moment to devote to it.

Been through it twice now. I think this one's gonna stick with me this year. Really cool.

Great isn’t it. I sound like a broken record but Todd sounds f*cking awesome on this.

Did you listen to it on Apple? On the Spotifies, every track is listed as explicit. Is that the case on Apple? I only noticed one "fuck" on the entire album.

I did and every song is also listed as Explicit. Same as you it’s not something I picked up on, I know in Dogmata he says ‘motherfucker’ and Pretenders it’s ‘fuck’.. so maybe there is? I’ll listen out on the next run through.

Fuck knows

I just hope it doesn't fuckin' mess with the algorithm and fuck up his chances at greater exposure. Fuck.
