So for 45 plus minutes I was in tune with what Krepitus has going on and really intrigued with them. Best part is I can’t accurately classify them ha! They are basically death metal, droning at times and very aggressive at others! Lots of thrash stuff going on throughout and some seriously tricky riffs. Every track is very memorable and each has its own identity which seems fairly rare anymore!

Melodic death metallers CHARIOTS OF THE GODS are proud to announce they will be hitting the road for dates in November and December in support of their recently unleashed album ‘Ages Unsung’. The tour will venture across the province of Quebec along with hometown shows in Ottawa, ON, which includes supporting Sonata Arctica on November 14th (dates and info below). Joining them on the tour will be Montreal’s Pronostic.
‘Ages Unsung’ features 10 shredding tracks recorded at The Grid with legendary Montreal producer Chris Donaldson (Cryptopsy, The Agonist, Beyond Creation, Neuraxis) plus features a special guest solo from The Agonist’s Pascal Jobin on the song ‘Into Oblivion’. For this album, CHARIOTS OF THE GODS turned to fans on kickstarter with a pre-order campaign (thank you video) and surpassed their goal of $3,000. The album marks the return of Canada’s first metal band to tour Cuba after a small hiatus and line up change to follow up their 2013 debut album ‘Tides of War’ that was produced by music legend Glen Robinson (Queensryche, Gwar, Annihilator).

The band comments on ‘Ages Unsung’:
“We are very proud to bring you all this new record. It took us longer than expected to get there, but we’re sure that after just one listen you’ll think it was worth the wait. There were a lot of changes since our last release in early 2013. 3 out of 5 were new members and it definitely had an impact on our music especially with the change of the vocalist. We sometimes went into some unknown territories with this new record, but our producer Chris Donaldson along with the help of Pascal Jobin really guided us through this experimental chapter. It has been a challenging effort, but we’ve worked hard to climb the mountain that stood before us. Now we know what we’re capable of. We can see many more peaks in the distance and as one we will strive forward.”

La production se veut impeccable, les compositions sont copieuses au niveau des arrangements et Fractal Cypher possède cette qualité qui se veut bien importante pour le genre : allier la complexité musicale avec des mouvements sonores accrocheurs….Du gros calibre, du prog métal surfin et qui ne sera pas gênant de mettre dans mon Top 2016 Québécois! Et de plus, ça nous vient d’ici!

Ottawa-based Chariots Of The Gods inject the best parts of metalcore, thrash and melodeath into its second full-length release, Ages Unsung. The band’s extreme delivery, harsh-barked vocals and precise instrumentation carry hints of bands such as In Flames, Soilwork, Shadows Fall and Hatebreed, yet delivered in a modern, up to date sound.

About the album:
‘Stand In The Fire’ is STRIKER‘s most uncompromising record to date. A record packed with incredible riffs and colossal anthems, all laced together with epic harmonies.

The band; Dan Clearly (vocals) Tim Brown (lead/rhythm guitars) William Wallace (bass) Adam Brown (drums) recorded the album themselves with the help of Randy Black (who filled in on drums while Adam was away…) and mixing genius Frederik Nordstrom (Bring Me The Horizon, In Flames, Opeth) giving them not only the time and space needed but the freedom to set up the release direct to fans worldwide.
