Heart Of Steel general manager Primo Bonali commented: "I grew up with the music of TORCH as well as countless heavy metal band in the '80s. Still TORCH has always been one of my favourite european heavy metal bands. I remember buying the first TORCH album in a stinky and old record store specialized in used vinyls. It was a shock! I remember finding myself jumping in the living room at the sound of 'Warlock' and 'Beyond The Threshold Of Pain'!!! Then came out 'Electrikiss', the second album, and it was worth all the expectations. So it was very disappointing to know back then that the band split up after that album. Having now TORCH on my label is one of these 'dreams came true' that only a very that only a very few times in a lifetime happen! It happened. So I have to say thanks, first of all, to the band who believed in us, and then to all of you guys over there who always support the real heavy metal scene."
