With their 30 year anniversary looming, founding AGGRESSION guitarist Denis ‘Sasquatch’ Barthe has handpicked the finest musicians around him to reform the 80’s thrashers for their first US tour this coming March (dates listed below). The ‘Forsaken East Coast Survival Tour’ will kick off at 2015 edition of Defenders of The Old Festival in Brooklyn, NY on March 13th that includes Exciter, Riot V, The Rods and many more.
Denis “Sasquatch” Barthe comments:
“There’s no way Aggression could have entered the States in the 80’s. Now, 30 years later it’s amazing that we can make it happen! When we would scream “Thrash Till Death” we truly meant it. I can’t wait to see you all on the Forsaken East Coast Survival Tour!”
AGGRESSION‘S line up will feature vocalist Brian Langley from Toronto thrash metal legends Infernal Majesty, bassist Darin Wall and guitarist Dave Watson from Vancouver thrash powerhouse Entropia plus drum maniac Ryan Murray Idris from Expain.
This will be Aggression’s first series of shows since 2005, where they reunited at the Montreal Metal Massacre fest and unleashed their un-released 1986 album ‘Forgotten Skeleton’.

About AGGRESSION:
Formed in 1985 under the original moniker “Asylum” to be later changed to AGGRESSION, the speed metallers unleashed their 1986 demo “Forgotten Skeleton”, (which saw an album release in 2005) and their debut full length “The Full Treatment” in 1987, which lead them to become one of the most popular bands to rise out of the Quebec and Canadian metal scene. With their manager at the time (Johnny Hart), AGGRESSION quickly became a household name with their concerts sold out everywhere and a fanbase that grew from hundreds to thousands in no time. Other bands such as Metallica, Slayer, Exodus, Hallow’s Eve, Destruction and others all wanted to see the beast for themselves during tour stops in Montreal. Playing numerous concerts with bands such as Anvil, Celtic Frost, Voïvod, Nuclear Assault, Agnostic Front, D.R.I., Possessed, Dark Angel, Crumbsuckers, Sacrifice and others, AGGRESSION decided to call it quits in 1989 due to external influences.
Discography:
*band line up for recordings was Denis Sasquatch Barthe (guitar and backup vocals), Botcher (vocals), Burn (guitar), Dug (bass) and Gate (drums and backup vocals).
*1985 – *4 track demo
*1986 – *Live (14 track live album)
*1986 -* 4 Track demo
*1986 – Forgotten Skeleton (originally recorded in 1986 and later released in 2004)
1987 – The Full Treatment (full length) – band lineup for The Full Treatment was Denis Sasquatch Barthe (guitar and backup vocals), Cactus Pete (vocals) Dug (bass and backup vocals) and Gate (drums and backup vocals)

Limited Edition CD pre-order – https://sevenyearstorm.bandcamp.com/album/aion-i
Seven Year Storm, the Vancouver-based instrumental progressive metal band created by freelance drummer / instructor Sean Lang with added support from guitar-wizard and good friend Dean Lamb (Archspire) has teamed up with Exclaim! Magazine to premiere the latest video for ‘Dyatlov’ from the upcoming EP ‘Aion I’, due out on Feb 24th as the first of two EPs set for release in 2015. A pre-order for a limited edition ‘Aion I’ CD is available here.
“Inspired by the bizarre otherworldly events of the Dyatlov Pass Incident, this track (as well as the EP,Aion I) was never really meant to be released…until people heard it, demanded its release, and made it happen with a crowdfunding campaign. This instrumental track packs a punch, thanks to Archspire’s masterful guitar wizard Dean Lamb, who is featured throughout Aion I. I’m honoured to premiere the video for my track “Dyatlov” on exclaim.ca!”

About:
Initially never planning to release his music compositions beyond the borders of just song writing, freelance drummer / instructor Sean Lang was urged by his circle of musician friends whom heard his material to take his creativity to the next level.
The outcome is Seven Year Storm, which showcases Lang’s unique sound, music arrangements written entirely by him plus guitarist Dean Lamb (Archspire) whom handles all of the mind-bending guitar leads and solos. Everything comes together into songs that are tight and heavy, melodic and groovy, technical yet memorable.
To get these works of art off the studio floor, Lang launched an Indiegogo campaign (video can be viewed here) to raise the necessary investment to complete the first collection of songs, which will be released in 2015 as two EPs: Aion I and Aion II.

“Combining atmospheric keyboards and djenty rhythms, and adding a slight touch of jazz rock and loads of melody, this EP should definitely appeal to fans of modern progressive music….the musicianship and songwriting is top notch, and the production is also extremely professional for a self-released EP. The production nicely allows for the sweeping layers of sound to shine through in a balanced and harmonic way. I definitely hope to hear more from Lang in the future. “Aion I” should appeal to fans of Animals As Leaders, Chimp Spanner, and Planet X.” – Metal Music Archives
