Binge & Purge is the first Torok album recorded with a full band. Binge & Purge is also the first Torok CD to have people other than Mike or Bryan involved in the writing process. Matt Graunke contributed on the songs "Shame" and "Free", Aaron Davis co-wrote "Amidst the lies" and Eric Althaus helped in the arrangements of all the tracks on Binge & Purge. Binge & Purge was recorded like records from the 70s, virtually live with minimal overdubs. Bryan and Mike purposely wanted to go for a "loose rock vibe" after the very mechanically rigid Silence CD. They also wanted a more straight forward heavy hard rock feel throughout the whole CD. For this reason there are no ballads on Binge & Purge. Released in December of 2001, Binge & Purge has received very positive initial response and will be promoted by the band and Nightmare Records throughout 2002.

"Silence" was the first CD the band Torok released back in 1996. Recorded with drum machines and drum loops (the industrial thing was cool then) Silence seemed to be either liked or hated, there was no 'middle ground'. With folk ballads, like title track "Silence", and layered drum patterned industrial metal tracks like "It could be you", Silence spanned many genres of music. Silence is an eclectic CD and also very original. 

Currently out of print, "Torok" was the first recording Mike and Bryan did together. There were 500 initial copies made to cassette, and they all sold out within only weeks of it's release. To date there has not been a CD re-release of this album, but the band is currently considering solicited offers.
