This is Tribune‘s second cross Canada Tour since 2012, when they toured across the US and Canada in support of their last release ‘Elder Lore/ The Dark Arts’.

The Vancouver quintet unleashed their concept album ‘Tales’ during October 2013 via their indie label Corpse Corrosion Music. The release was inspired entirely by literature and features a wide array of influences from Homer to Mary Shelley to H.P. Lovecraft, to more extreme musical influences such as Carcass, Death and At The Gates. The band’s appetite for more melodic and more brutally heavy sounds to follow-up 2011’s Elder Lore/The Dark Arts is demonstrated with their collusion of extremity and accessibility that bleeds into the melting pot and their fresh take of progressive death metal.

     Winnipeg’s death metal troopers Psychotic Gardening have posted their latest teaser video featuring guitarist Chuck Labossiere for their upcoming album ‘Hymnosis’ set for release on May 13th to follow up 2011’s ‘Humanitorium’ and 2007’s debut ‘Hürdür’. The band returns in 2014 with new material and the return of Chuck Labossiere after he filled in with Broken Hope for tour dates in Europe and Canada. The album features nine heavy hitting assaults sure to bang skulls with itsfull-throttle, go-for-the-throat execution of doom and black metal. In this release the band digs into its death metal roots for a concoction of their most vicious material while still hammering down on doom-laden monster riffs.

     With their Western Canadian tour dates with Katakylsm and Aborted during the ‘Kill The Elite Tour’ inching near, Edmonton, AB’s Death Toll Rising has posted a new guitar playthrough for their track ‘Slaughter To Survive’ from their latest album ‘Infection Legacy’ to follow last week’s playthrough for ‘Crack Open A Cold One’.

“This is the second of the two guitar videos we have put together.  A song largely from the proggy mind of Tylor, it has some of more complex guitar work off of our album.  The breakdown at 3:00 is crushing, too!” comments guitarist Drew Copland.

Rising up the ladder of the Canadian metal scene with their latest album ‘Infection Legacy’ unleashed October, 2013, Death Toll Rising won praise in 2013 from fans, metal publications, and support from Canadian Loud Charts remaining on the Top 20 since November 2013. The band has also been recently nominated for Metal Recording of The Year at the upcoming Edmonton Music Awards taking place on Sunday, April 13th Royal Alberta Museum Theatre.

Metal Recording Of The Year
All Else Fails “AntiMartyr”
Death Toll Rising “Malice Incarnate”
Dieuponaday “Enlighten”
Monarch Sky “Circles”
Villainizer “Twin Tower Two-Step”

Nominees List: http://2014edmontonmusicawards.blogspot.ca/2014/02/and-nominees-are.html

About: Featuring a combination of death and thrash metal, the Edmonton-based band are known to devastate their audiences with their high octane performances that has lead them to share the stage over the years with high profile names such as Kataklysm, Cryptopsy, The Haunted, and Aborted (to name a few). 

Originally formed in 2003 in Stony Plain, AB, Canada, Death Toll Rising have been grinding the Western Canadian metal scene steadily, gaining huge momentum over the last 3 years. New addition Tylor Dory on guitars has introduced a technical and progressive element to the band they have not had in the past. Add in the intense and relentless drumming provided by Bryan Newbury (recently recruited by Canadian prog/death powerhouse INTO ETERNITY), as well as the well-rounded rhythm provided by Drew Copland on guitar and Mike Puff on bass, and you get a monster that is only now being unleashed upon the masses with vocalist Jesse Berube topping things off with a combination of brutal death growls and Tomas Lindberg-esqe high shrieks, which will be plenty noticeable on their new album ‘Infection Legacy’.

Full album stream of ‘Infection Legacy’ can be listened on Beatroute Magazine here or Soundcloud here along with being purchased on Bandcamp here.

THE GREAT RUSSIAN EMPIRE/WHITE ARMY Premiere New Song ‘Pig’s Blood’ On PureGrainAudio.com


    When you first hear the name The Great Russian Empire/ White Army, the first thought that comes to mind is the current political situation between Russia and Ukraine. But this Montreal, QC side project featuring a double bass approach from bassist Benny Boy Floyd (The Lonely Sidewalkers/Coco Méliès/ex-Fallstaf) and bassist Nicolas Miquelon (ex-Kintra/Damnus/Anesthetik) began invading the audible minds of fans way before that conflict.

Born in 2010, when the two bassists were looking to start something new, fresh and different, the four string players decided to combine their bass powers to create an instrumental project called The Great Russian Empire, which was then followed by vocalist Catherine Sauvé of The Lonely Sidewalkers, guitarist David Méliès of Coco Méliès and the brass metal sounds of Fallstaf members frontman Ian Lavoie and drummer Matt Lassonde to add The White Army.

Now with their latest track ‘Pig’s Blood’ influenced by friends and family members who fought cancer and based on a Quebec expression ‘se faire du sang de cochon’, which means ‘to worry a lot about someone, something.’ The empire is proud to premiere their new single on PureGrainAudio.com at the following link: http://puregrainaudio.com/audio/the-great-russian-empire-white-army-pig-s-blood-world-premiere-song-stream

TGRE will continue in the studio with more creations to add to their forthcoming EP ‘The Bloody Three & One For The Road’.

Song Credits:

Single – ‘Pig’s Blood’

Words & music: Benoît Forté

Recorded by Benny Boy Floyd, Nicolas Miquelon and David Méliès.

Mixed and mastered by Davis Méliès. 2014.
