Torchlight Parade-Heavy Metal from the US
The band was formed in the halls of a local funeral parlor by morticians. The lead guitarist Doug Engel is a hearse driver, the lead singer Matt “Torch” Engel, is an embalmer and the drummer Greg Umfleet is a funeral director. The band also includes non-mortician bass player Larry Hunter and guitarist Danny Nichols. The band’s name is meant to invoke the image of an ancient funeral procession.
