Orillia, ON’s thrash progressive metal band ADRENECHROME are proud to announce they will be hitting the road this summer in Ontario and Quebec for their CHROMED Tour.
“ADRENECHROME is extremely proud to announce that after three month’s of intensive “labour” [and 6 years in the making] we will be giving birth to a 13 day extended tour of madness and chaos across Ontario and Quebec. This “child monster” of a tour will be taking us from Sarnia to Quebec City, and all points between, wreaking new born rock’n’roll havok at every stop. Come join us as we show CANADA that we’re a big boy band….and look out! cause this tour is leaving a trail of head’s all over central CANADA :] much love all…..see you on the road.” comments vocalist/guitarist Chris Freisen.
The tour is in support of forthcoming new material and their 2012 debut EP ‘Hideous Appetites’ that has garnered rave reviews from metal media and strong support from Canadian loud radio charts for its seven explosive tracks that blend innovative guitar shredding, furious operatic vocals, thundering drums and rumbling, gut-busting bass. ‘Hideous Appetites’ was produced by Darius Szcespaniak whom has engineered on such albums by SACRIFICE, SUM 41, BLACK CROWES to name a few. This beast truly stands out from the herd as Adrenechrome have crafted old school classic thrash to meet today’s modern prog evolution to bring back good ol’ fashioned face melting rock n’ roll that has lead them to share the stage with Corrosion of Conformity, Green Jelly, Ninjaspy, Manahan, The Isosceles Project, Caym, Exes For Eyes, Odium.

“What starts out as a solid thrash album quickly morphs into a far more interesting, original, and engaging work with strong flavours of Mastodon’s proggy sludge and big riffs.” – Metal Hammer
“each song features a sweaty, aggressive thrash engine that propels the music forward, but the instrumentation is far more skillful and intricate than just straightforward shredding. “Hymn for the Heathens” has a great classic rock feel to it and opener “Titans Fall” does its mythic subject matter proud.” – Exclaim!
“The illustrious list of top quality metal bands to emerge from Canada has just been added to. Adrenechrome take the hard hitting technicality of bands like Realm, the addictive assault of classic thrash and bring it all up to date with a liberal helping of Baroness style, passionate free thinking. It’s a fresh, interesting, exciting combination of sounds that makes new seven track EP Hideous Appetites, well worth going out of your way to track down. Songs like ‘Titan’s Fall’ and ‘Hymn For The Heathens’ combine the immediate appeal of crisp, melodic riffing with a clear longevity, born of their intelligent complexity and diversity. CK 4 /5″ – Zero Tolerance Magazine
“Adrenechrome have concocted a winning recipe. This four-piece from Ontario, Canada clearly know their way around thrash’s greats but show no fear in chucking in some modern flair. And I don’t mean crash, bang, wallop, what the hell – you only have to hear the opening riff to ‘Titans Fall’ to get those saliva glands going.” – Metal-Rules.com

WACKEN METAL BATTLE CANADA is proud to announce MUTANK (Montreal) WMBC 2014 champion. After hundreds of submissions and over 100 bands selected to compete in battles across the country, five bands remained representing their cities on Saturday, June 7 at Opera House (735 Queen St E.) for the WMBC National Final. Neck of The Woods from Vancouver, Exit Strategy from Calgary, Mutank from Montreal plus My Hollow and Burning The Day from Toronto all took the stage to a packed crowd at Opera House where they were judged by a panel of music industry that included Robb Reiner (Anvil), Noel Peters (Inertia Entertainment), Lindsay Schoolcraft (Cradle Of Filth), Jon Asher (Asher Media Relations), Adam Sewell (Riot, Rock Management / Stereo Dynamite), Darrell Shelley (Scene Magazine), Tim Henderson (BW&BK), Drew Copland (Villainizer).
“Saturday night was an incredible display of talent from across the country. Each band proved that they deserved to be on that stage. With great pride we will send off thrash metal powerhouse and new champions Mutank to Wacken.” comments WMBC organizer JJ Tartaglia.
MUTANK will now move on to perform at the international Wacken Metal Battle in Germany, which saw last year’s Canadian winners Crimson Shadows become the 2013 WMB international champions. MUTANK‘s performance date is set for July 30th at 2pm on the WET Stage, a day before the 25th annual Wacken Open Air officially kicks off during July 31 – Aug 2.
