“We are delighted to finally release and make available our first single, Get Me A Beer! off the new album, No Beer In Heaven. Although upbeat and cheerful, the song is representative of musicians having a jolly good time into the wee hours of the night; and what better way of prolonging the order of good cheer than strangers or fans fueling the fire by getting beer(s)? So in that regard, it’s a tongue-and-cheek look at mild alcoholism yet trying to overlook/deny it with a positive melody. Sneaky indeed, but in denial? I think not!” comments guitarist Martin Drozd.
The follow up to 2011’s ‘Marzena’ EP and 2009’s debut ‘Ancestral Anthems’, this upcoming full length ‘No Beer In Heaven’ by the Eastern European transplants is a twelve track adventurous trek, diving into themes of drinking, history and human endeavor. Mixing a duo vocal attack of melodic operatics plus woodwinds from Ekaterina Pyatkova and high spirited chanting growls from guitarist Martin Drozd, Protokult showcase a diversified and powerful engagement that includes the shredding of guitarist Vodnik, the pounding force of Mike Matveev on drums and the grooves of bassist Dawid Slowiak. In additional news, PROTOKULT will be performing a Toronto CD release show on July 26th for hometown fans at Bovine Sex Club with support from locals Primalfrost, Tsargrad and Montreal’s Karkaos.

With a beauty and the beast-like contrast between Ekaterina’s haunting vocals and the band’s metal onslaught, No Beer In Heaven, which is slated for an August 8 release, captures the reformed quintet at an all-time high, showcasing an impressive palette of entirely new compositions, and straps the listener on an adventurous, heavy and experimental trek, diving into themes of drinking, history and human endeavor.
