    Milton Keynes based heavyweights Torus continue their rebirth as a duo as we head into 2026 with a brand new single titled ‘Ruby Red’. Capturing the band at their most intense and vulnerable, ‘Ruby Red’ is built on epic fuzzed out guitars and a driving hypnotic groove.

    “On this new single we explore themes of obsession, emotional damage and losing control when you love too hard,” explains drummer Jack Orr. “The lyrics are raw and direct, channelling desert rock weight with modern grungy tension. This release continues our run of singles leading into our next EP, pushing the darker, heavier side of Torus.”

    For the video, the band went with something more light-hearted as a juxtaposition to the songs heartfelt emotional feel, but also something that would match the frantic pace of the song.  

    “After throwing ideas around with our ex bassist ‘Harry Quinn’ who filmed the video, we decided to lean into the wacky old Beatles short film vibe and do something fun that would show off our personalities a bit more, with the ridiculous quest of trying to find the magic milk from the sacred cow that would heal us from all of our wrongdoings mixed with a brutally honest relationship driven song that had to be made in that moment heading towards a slightly darker side,” explains singer and guitarist Alfie Glass.

    It has been a long, winding journey of ups and some downs that led Torus to the eventual release of their accomplished debut self-titled album in the summer of 2024. The album was critically acclaimed (“a heavy listen, but packed with immediately accessible tunes,” said Kerrang!) and allowed Torus the opportunity to hit the road with respected acts such as South Arcade, Skindred, Fu Manchu, Entitled Sons and Soap, alongside a formidable appearance at the legendary Desertfest in London.    

    However, 2025 saw Torus embark on a new era for the band, with the departure of original bassist Harry Quinn and the decision, for now, to proceed as a duo. Jack and Alfie quickly got to work on new songs and jams in this new format and this period of intense creativity has resulted in a flood of new material, so expect a lot of essential new music from Torus over the coming months!

    ‘Ruby Red’ is released on the band’s own label Headcharge Records. Headcharge Club was founded to support and uplift the music scene in Milton Keynes, Northampton, and the surrounding areas. It has been driving the grassroots movement locally by putting on DIY events and festivals, helping to build and strengthen the community.

    UK rock band Torus unveil their latest single, “Solitary,” marking a fresh chapter after lineup changes. Originally a bedroom project by Alfie Glass, the Milton Keynes trio embrace raw energy blending desert rock, psychedelic prog, and punk. “Solitary” was co-produced with Louis Perry and recorded during lockdown, merging crushing riffs, ethereal melodies, and introspective lyrics. The track explores isolation, lost connections, and resilience, capturing a balance of heaviness and accessibility. With dynamic production and organic performances, Torus retain their signature intensity while expanding sonic horizons. “Solitary” demonstrates the duo’s renewed creative vigor and sets the tone for future releases.

    Playing #Ultima 1, you came back left, when you left the screen on the right side. And you came back at the top, when you left it on the bottom.

    So the earth is a #torus.

  7. this #b3d #blender3d render was made in 2021 during an early phase of #blender #Geometrynodes . Times were simpler back then, we had less nodes :)
    This is basically a circle made from points along a cirlce and loads of circles instanced along those points to make a #torus (or better known as donut to blender users) and more circles instanced on the points on that and so on and then the last iteration turned into #geometry with #circle form.
    and with good light that is this shiny!
    Music by me!
