About:

Taking influence from Europe’s music festival circuit, Armstrong Metal Fest is a heavy metal celebration that encourages metal heads from across Canada and the globe to mosh and camp with the backdrop of great outdoors of British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley. What started as a backyard party in 2009 with nothing but eleven local metal bands such as Terrifier, Xul and Odinfist to name a few, has grown into a a huge success admired by the Western Canadian Metal scene. 2016 will be the eighth year of the festival and is planned to be the largest year for music and attendance yet. This year’s team of organizers known as the West Metal Entertainment Society is the most dedicated to date and are excited to present an incredible line up along with some changes to come for AMF 2016. Previous years of the festival have seen line ups with Cattle Decapitation, Suffocation, Anciients, Bison BC, Striker, Crimson Shadows, Holy Grail, Archspire, Cryptopsy, Unleash The Archers, Divinity, Into Eternity, Ninjaspy, Vesperia, XUL, Odinfist, Death Toll Rising, Gomorrah among many others .

0 Made in Metal – Demise of The Crown – S/T

La voz de Darren Beadman se parece mucho a la de Tim Ripper Owen o a la de Warrel Dane de Nevermore. Mientras que los solos de guitarra son una mezcla entre Eddie Van Halen e Yngwie Malmsteen. “Save Me” tiene esa fuerza épica, doblando las voces con una más calmada y otra gritando directamente.

0 Metal Nation Radio – Demise of The Crown – S/T

a beautiful heavy metal album / EP, mashed with occasional death metal and thrash elements. What is immediately striking is the vocal performance. Lead singer Beadmandelivers an old school scream/clean performance reminiscent of the style of Rob Halford. Actually, his performance reminded me of Dirk Thurisch’s on Bleed (Angel Dust) with a classical 80s and early 90s thrash metal/heavy metal vocal mixture. His performance is accompanied by perfect instrumental support, pumping drums and guitars full of tricks and melodies. A true diamond in the rough. I would even take the risk and say this would be the disc I would’ve liked to hear from Angel Dust after Bleed.

About:

American Pagan Metal? What does that mean? Americans pretending that they are Vikings?

No, Helsott is so much more than that. Lyrically, Helsott pay homage to all things pagan, not just Scandinavian Paganism. American Mythology, Scandinavian Mythology, Germanic Mythology, Ancient Egyptology, Celtic Mythology, Greek Mythology, and all things Heathen. Paganism was and still is relevant all around the world and is the main backdrop in the Theater of Helsott. Musically, if you threw Folk Metal, Death Metal, Symphonic Metal, Thrash Metal, Classical Music and Rock n’ Roll into a smelting pot and poured its contents onto the world…that world would scream Helsott. Meaning “Fatal Illness” in Teutonic, Helsott have already carved a piece of the Metal World for them-selves and plan on carving deeper with their beautifully brutal, pagan themed brand of metal for years to come.

On a National level Helsótt has toured the US and Canada with Paganfest alongside Ensiferum, Tyr, Heidevolk, and Trollfest…for Rock The Nation USA. In 2015 Helsott toured the US in support of their album “Woven” twice. The first being a summer headlining tour and the second in support of Arkona and Heidevolk on the Pagan Rebellion tour.

On a local level Helsótt has supported national and international acts such as: Finntroll, Ensiferum, Moonsorrow, Opeth, Katatonia, Trollfest, Heidevolk, Turisas, Nile, Ex Deo, Dio’s Disciples, Tyr, Korpiklaani, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Nevermore, Barren Earth, Suidakra, Eluveitie, Arkona, Alestorm, Metsatöll, Kill Devil Hill, Carach Angren, Fear Factory, Rotting Christ, Epica, Death Angel, Hate, Kampfar, Vreid, Keep of Kalessin, D.R.I., Insomnium, Omnium Gatherum, Necrophagia, 1349, Warbringer, Mayhem, Destruction, Heathen, Goatwhore, Possessed, Woods of Ypris, Decrepit Birth, Origin, Dillinger Escape Plan…and many more.

0 Loud Stuff – Necronomicon – Advent of The Human God (Season of Mist)

Advent of the Human Gods is a work of art in all things Dark….Their sound is guttural and aggressive; vocal growls and gurgles occasionally breaking for an orchestral score that Hollywood directors would be proud of.

0 RingMaster Reviews – Buffalo Theory MTL – Skeptic Knight (Stand Productions)

Creating a bruising and boozy riot of rapacious rock ‘n’ roll, Canadian quintet Buffalo Theory MTL are releasing their latest uproar of sound and attitude this month in the boisterously muscular shape of Skeptic Knight. The five-track EP is a roar of debaucherous intent amidst heavy cantankerous sound which, without any major surprises, simply gets you in the mood to feverishly brawl and party.
