0 Metal France – The Mountain Man – BloodLust

  • April 21, 2016
  • by Asher
  • · The Mountain Man

Le tout s’imbrique parfaitement, fluide et cohérent

Deux exemples :

« Backhand » dégage quelque chose de « doomesque » de par son tempo lent et le sentiment d’écrasement qu’il dégage, couplé à quelque chose d’inquiétant .

C’est en fait un des pans de leur univers qui me plait le plus.

« Bloodlust « est un mitigé de groove, de death sombre. Sombre, oui le mot est lâché : leur musique s’avère flippante au possible.

       Combining a heavenly destruction of heavy riffs with beautiful melodies, Vancouver, BC’s European influenced symphonic metal band CELESTIAL RUIN create catchy, singable and epic tunes that draw on lyrical themes of fantasy and horror, plus sometimes implying deeper meanings or just celebrating the subject matter at hand. Their new EP ‘Pandora’ is set for release on May 20th to follow their 2012 debut album ‘The Awakening’ and before it drops they have teamed up with PureGrainAudio.com for a FREE download of their first single ‘Sense of Exile’, which can be heard at the following link: http://puregrainaudio.com/audio/celestial-ruin-sense-of-exile-free-song-download

Lyric Video – http://skullsnbones.com/celestial-ruin-sense-of-exile-lyric-video-premiere/

Vocalist Larissa Dawn comments on the track:

“The concept of “Sense of Exile” is hopefully a relatable one, it’s about making a  life altering decision based on the needs and wants of others . Completely ignoring your own gut instinct and later recognizing that the choice you made has all kinds of negative repercussions. The sound and feel of this song may be high energy, but the lyrics and emotions behind it are that of anger, regret and despair. I’m sure many of us feel these mixed emotions frequently, so I am hoping the power behind the music allows people to just let out all their frustration and after think, “I fell a lot better now”.”

Digital and CD pre-order of the EP will be available as of April 22nd on iTunes and CD at www.celestialruin.com.

1. Murder of Crows (3:52)
2. Sense of Exile (4:17)
3. No Quarter (4:34)

5. Firestorm (4:53)
EP Length: 23:32

About:

 

Canadian band CELESTIAL RUIN is styled after European Symphonic Rock/Metal but executed with a decidedly North American flavor. Combining a heavenly destruction of heavy riffs with beautiful melodies, CELESTIAL RUIN create catchy, singable melodies, and rich symphonic textures. The compositions are “epic” by all accounts. Lyrical themes are mainly drawn from fantasy and horror, sometimes implying deeper meanings, sometimes just celebrating the subject matter.
Based out of Vancouver, BC, CELESTIAL RUIN started taking the scene by storm with their debut album “The Awakening”. Receiving favorable reviews in publications such as Rockstar Weekly Magazine professing a 4/5 star rating declaring, “If The Awakening is only the beginning of things to come, you’d best get on board now while the getting’s good.”
After successful 2012 and 2013 summer tours, CELESTIAL RUIN was offered many opportunities that included opening slots with Stone Temple Pilots, Leaves Eyes, Moonspell and being a featured performer for Vancouver Alternative Fashion Week for two consecutive years.
CELESTIAL RUIN is always looking for the next unique avenue to expose their distinctive sound. “We play in the grey area of rock music, we are too heavy for rock, but not heavy enough for metal” comments vocalist Larissa Dawn.
This is a praise that has been mirrored in many live reviews including Beat Route Magazine stating, “Celestial Ruin appears to be in a sub-genre scene of one…their differences are working to their advantage”.
From September- December 2015 they completed a cross Canada tour (Out of Exile) and are now preparing for the release of their 2016 EP ‘Pandora’ produced by Joost Van Den Broek (Epica, Revamp, Xandria).
“As a significant jump forward from our debut album, from song writing to production, this EP was a journey that allowed to us grow, and we hope that fans will grow with us.” says Larissa Dawn.
A collaborative writing effort by CELESTIAL RUIN, the May 20th release of ‘Pandora’ will showcase the best of their best shared with fans new and old alike.
“The music on ‘Pandora’ is about unleashing chaos, beauty and all emotions into the world. It celebrates both the joy and the pain that emotions can create. The lyrics on this release come from a mix of personal experiences and fantasy elements. Most of the were written during a time when Larissa was going through recovery from a surgery and was unable to speak, sing and barely able to stand up. So the frustration, sadness, anger and fear she felt during her recovery created “Pandora”.” says drummer Adam Todd.

TEST YOUR METAL RECORDS:

Decibel Mag Video Premiere Sci-Fi Inspired RAPHEUMETS WELL ‘Crucible of Titans’

     Unleashing their album ‘The Exile’ this past March via Test Your Metal Records, Hickory, NC based RAPHEUMETS WELL have a new music video to wow fans with a visual world of their sci-fi/ fantasy inspired metal and concept story album. The video ‘Crucible of Titans’ is just once piece of the story line as drummer Joshua Ward explains:

“In our song ‘Crucible of Titans’, Darmak is confronted by an Okvier named Sen, an inter-dimensional being who offers help to Darmak as Sotath’s plan was illusive even to the celestial counsel. Darmak is asked to spy on the traitor in hopes of revealing his agenda. Things go very wrong. Being ratted out by a family friend, Darmak is forced to look on as his family is executed. Darmak is sent to the realm between realms, away from the eyes of celestial order. The demonic servants of Sotath bind a rare artifact to his bones which will forbid him to die. They tear his skin from his bones only to have his organs regenerate and repeat. Having his flesh skin torn multiple times each day and left to ruminate on his families execution, he is cursed to walked the desert of the Nastar (lost realm) until his spirit literally fragments and he ceases to exist. This is the crucible of titans and why we chose to do this video. We actually shot and produced our own video due to budget constraints, but we worked extremely hard and we hope everyone enjoys the work and creativity of the story.”

About:
From the birth of organic matter to great wars that tear the fabric of space/time, the story of RAPHEUMETS WELL‘s music serves to immerse you into a world of oddities. Blending a sound that is a complex mix of classical orchestrations, cosmic synths, and extreme metal to portray the epics of parallel worlds, the Hickory, N.C. based band bring forth a voyage enriched with lore, fabricated from scratch to show the depth in which represents them as artists. Their sophomore release ‘The Exile’is out now as of March 18th via Test Your Metal Records to follow their first self release full length ‘Dimensions’ unleashed in 2014 that progressively told a larger story portrayed in a complex saga of Atai (ancient architects) who aid in the propagation of sentient life throughout the multi-verse.

Live the band’s concert theatrics is a show truly to entertain the crowd with an opus of metal while still satisfying their story lines in their music creating an intimate but relatable ambiance for fans, especially those who enjoy bands such as Dimmu Borgir, Fleshgod Apocalypse, The Faceless, Emperor, Black Crown Initiate.

0 Examiner – A Rebel Few – As The Crow Flies

  • April 20, 2016

  • · A Rebel Few

What sets A Rebel Few apart is how they manage to take all that is great about heavy music; melody, groove, expressive vocals, muscly riffs, and stand out instrumental performances, and render it all down into straight forward, blue-collar hard rock that can appeal to everyone. As the Crow Flies finds a young yet seasoned band, already comfortable in its own skin, taking pride in its roots and building a lasting homage to its rock and roll heroes.

0 Metalholic – A Rebel Few – As The Crow Flies

  • April 20, 2016

  • · A Rebel Few

Every once in a while a new band kicks up a huge buzz, and more often than not the excitement is over before the dust even settles. A Rebel Few is poised to be the exception to the rule. The Cambridge, Ontario based quartet is turning heads for good reason—they speak, through their music—as a voice for a generation tired of insubstantial, lackluster bands more focused on trends and image than riffs and melody.
