PREMIERE: Torii – Dagger In Hand
Shake hands with this new track from Torii
Long, long, long-time readers of the Toilet Ov Hell will remember Bill Masino’s project Torii as The Best Unsigned Band In Arkansas. That was over a decade ago and we’re still right. Over the years, Torii’s sound has evolved from black metal to a more expansive and introspective doomy post-metal. Regardless of the sounds, the music is still as anguished as ever.
Today, we are being dragged into the inky blackness of existentialism with Torii’s new song “Dagger In Hand” off his upcoming album, Despaire. Even in our anguish, there is a bit of hope. There is a light in the darkness. A glimmer that gives us the strength to move on.
About the song, Masino says:
The majority of the Despaire churns through ideas of longing, frustration, and isolation. However, the closer, “Dagger in Hand” is the moment one chooses to break free, overcome, and move forward.

Despaire is out on December 18th, 2026. Pre-save it here.
