Washington, D.C. based gothic/doom metal trio Torvus stream their new four-track EP ».44 Caliber Angel«, which was just released on August 29th, 2025.

Tracklist:
01. .44 Caliber Angel
02. Ashes
03. Vices
04. Threads Of Silk

The band comments: “».44 Caliber Angel« is our latest and most proud release. This 4-track EP captures the full array of our inspiration. It blends gothic metal with more rock elements, and orchestral notes with the inclusion of violin and viola throughout, while maintaining our heavy sound.”

Torvus is a gothic/doom metal band hailing from Washington DC, Maryland.

While having their roots in death/doom metal, Torvus has channeled an evolved sound since their early, filth ridden full-lengths, »Metu Deorum« from 2018 and »The Innate Disease« from 2021, that is most akin to the gothic, melodic, post-punk-tinged likings of bands such as Type O Negative and Paradise Lost at their prime. Their latest album »Words Within« was released on June 28th, 2024.
