The songs are first class as is the musicianship, but it’s the love of the music that really makes this a special album. In a world where music has to constantly be ‘extreme’, it’s great to hear an album with everything done just right for the right reasons

About:
THE CHRONICLES OF ISRAFEL is the solo project of guitarist/vocalist Dominic Cifarelli (former guitar player for Pulse Ultra (Atlantic Records)). It was born during a very uncertain and difficult period leading up to the breakup of Pulse Ultra in 2004. Many late night solo jam sessions combined with the constant viewing of violent Japanese Anime movies helped form the sound of the sometimes brutal and very dark first concept album “Starborn, Tome I”. The album was written to focus on the main character Israfel in his search for a new home and self-discovery. ‘Starborn’ was released in June 2007 through Bridge of Hands Entertainment, an independent arts label dedicated to the development and the distribution of original art.
After its release, a hiatus from TCOI was taken due to demand for Cifarelli’s guitar talents requested for many other projects that included a stint in Los Angeles, touring with Scars on Broadway that featured Daron Malakian and John Dolmayan of System of a Down, a collaboration with Lukas Rossi on the single “Headspin” that is featured on the album “Rockstar Supernova” starring Tommy Lee, Gilby Clarke and Jason Newsted, recording guitars and bass for Billy Ray Cyrus’ 2012 release “Change My Mind” plus performances on French platinum artist Zaho’s debut and sophomore albums, two guitar solos on a Rush tribute album released by Magna Carta, which featured Sebastian Bach (Skid Row), Mike Mangini (Dream Theater) and Stu Hamm (Steve Vai. Other highlights in Cifarelli’s career include a featured guest guitar appearance with Cypress Hill and Travis Barker at the annual Smoke Out Festival in San Bernardino, CA, which also featured Incubus, Living Colour and Manu Chao plus guest performances in 2013 with Chevelle in Las Vegas at the Hard Rock Hotel and Taproot at the Whiskey in Los Angeles.
Now fast forward to 2016, nine years after ‘Starborn’ is released. TCOI is reborn beginning in 2014 with new material being written and released as singles / music videos during 2015 and early 2016, which is then followed with a handful of warm up shows in preparation for the official release of Cifarelli’s follow up and sophomore album ‘A Trillion Lights, Tome II’ due out October 15, 2016. The album features 13 tracks of progressive songwriting blended with incredible guitar riffs and symphonic piano rounded with melodic vocals for a cinematic music experience.

“Wow, once in a while an album comes along and just smacks me in the fucking face and completely floors me. The Chronicles of Israfel has done that. I mean I was speechless for a week and didn’t know how to put into words how to review this.” – The Dirty Room
“The songs on this excellent, 13 track, album come to this reality from a million points of creativity. Some parts of the album are driving and antagonistic while other parts are soul wrenching and personal. Songs like “In Ruins” and “Greet The Sun” are exactly the sort of songs you need to start your day off a type of bang! no matter the occasion.” – 925 Rebellion
“The crowd bubbled, jumping with the beat like water coming to boil. The band had an engaging, evocative style. Listening to it gave me that special release that only comes from metal. It feels like a cross between shivers down my spine to the beat of a powerful metronome.” – Montreal Rampage – Live Review
“This prog metal album is a great effort by a talented guitarist and composer Dominic Cifarelli. I have high hopes for The Chronicles of Israfel. They draw heavily on the great prog and thrash metal bands that have come before them.” – Slickster Mag

About:
Based in the Canadian capital of Ottawa, Endemise delivers an astoundingly intense combination of blackened death metal and orchestral awe. Following a series of style-sculpting releases between 2005 and 2012, the band emerged in 2013 with their defining full-length, Far From The Light. The ten punishing tracks were produced by long-time collaborator Mike Bond alongside guitarist Dale Sauve, and became available worldwide via Maple Metal Records. Endemise continues to masterfully blend a din of choking darkness alongside majestic orchestral arrangements – an element featured in full grandeur during live performances – into a mature and cohesive sound that has captivated listeners internationally. Now, in 2016, the band is hard at work preparing the next set of tracks to spread to eager fans, which promise to raise the bar yet again and show fans new and old why they are truly masters of their craft.”

0 Heavy Metal Time Machine – Dark Messiah – S/T
Ultimately “Dark Messiah” is a nasty, down and dirty metal recording with a pissed-off attitude and a real sense of “Knock down the fucking door now you pinheads!” urgency!! Groove metal or not, “Dark Messiah” has got some set of balls of it!!! If you liked your metal big, bad, and ugly then you are going to want to check this one out.
