Legendary Floridian doom band Floor are back!
According to a press release sent out bu Seasons of Mist-
Season of Mist is proud to announce the signing of the widely-respected underground rock band Floor. Floor (Steve Brooks – Guitar, Vocals, Anthony Vialon – Bass, Henry Wilson – drums) recently reunited on the heels of their career retrospective 'Below and Beyond' boxset, and are preparing to enter the studio to record a new full-length album.
Floor was originally formed by Brooks and Vialon in 1992, and issued singles on respected underground punks labels like No Idea, Bovine, Rhetoric and more. The band released their wildly influential self-titled full-length album in 2002, before splitting. Brooks went on to form another critically-acclaimed band: Torche, while Wilson formed Dove.
Additionally, the reactivated band will hit the road for short run of dates before they enter the studio. The run will begin on May 27th in Charlotte, NC and conclude on April 10th in Birmingham, AL. Support on all dates comes from Joe Preston's Thrones. A full list of dates can be found below.
I wonder what that means for Torche? Regardless of that situation, the fact that Floor are getting back together is pretty damn cool, doubly so because there's a new album on the horizon… which is the first time that'll be happening in over 10 years.
