Torul - Dark Matters (2010)

Country : Slovenia
TORUL comprises Borut Bernik : Torul (songwriter, producer, keyboards), Jan Jenko (vocals) and Borut Dolenec (guitar, keyboards). Their debut release Dark Matters (2010) managed to raise a lot of interest outside Slovenia and also brought them a contract with Infacted for the following album "In Whole". The new material from In Whole (released in December 2011 by Infacted) is a regular guest on different charts, like the German Alternative Charts, on the US based Strangeway Radio, regional MTV and others, while the high profile web portal DepecheMode.de awarded TORUL "The Newcomer of the year". A part of TORUL’s success was also brought on by accomplished videos, based on different approaches: the stop-motion used in Try is said to be among the most creative ways of using this technique, while In Whole was shot in one take which made it direct and powerful. TORUL’s concert experiences include several gigs in Slovenian clubs and a festival, and they also played in Serbia and Germany.
