In July 2019 Carry The Torch released their debut album ‘Obsession’ containing songs that were written and recorded by Philip and Dennis. Carry The Torch did a number of successfull shows following the release of ‘Obsession’. The pandemic put the band on hold and the focus shifted towards recording the follow-up record to ”Obsession”. The band entered the studio at Zokker, Mörbylånga in the summer of 2021 to record drums. All of the guitars and bass parts where later that year recorded in Philips studio in Boxholm.
