After the album's release, the band began extensive cross-country touring, sharing bills with the Sword, Mouth of the Architect, Jesu, Isis, and Mogwai. In March of 2007, Torche released a remastered version of their self-titled album, featuring the bonus track "Make Me Alive." In the summer of 2007, they released the beautifully packaged EP In Return on Robotic Empire, featuring a jacket designed by John Baizley of Baroness. Late in 2007, the bandmembers announced that they had finished recording their second album, Meanderthal, which was released in 2008. Later that year, guitarist Juan Montoya left the band due to creative differences. The remaining members carried on as a trio, touring with bands like Harvey Milk and Coheed and Cambria. In 2010, the band released the EP Songs for Singles on Hydrahead.
Two years later, in 2012, Torche released the hook-laden and critically acclaimed Harmonicraft, which topped numerous year-end lists. In 2014, Brooks reunited Floor with Anthony Vialon and Henry Wilson; the trio made their long-awaited return with Oblation. Early the following year, Torche's fourth studio long-player, Restarter, mined similar sonic territory as its predecessor, doubling down on the earworms without losing any muscularity. After a four-year gap, Torche resurfaced in 2019 with a pair of singles, "Slide" and "Times Missing," which were featured on their fifth album, Admission, released in July of that year. ~ Gregory Heaney, Rovi
