Montreal Psychedelic Rock A DEVIL’S DIN Premiere New Video “Home” via PureGrainAudio
New Album “One Hallucination Under God” Out September 29th
A Devil’s Din are the psychedelic brainchild of UK-born Montreal-based multi-instrumentalist David Lines; joined on his creative journey by disciple of the Rickenbaker bass Thomas Chollet, and virtuoso drummer Dom Salameh
They are a trio of sonic alchemists that together create a chemical wedding of cosmic chords, constantly seeking the philosopher’s stone of the perfect psychedelic song…and as we all know, it’s not the journey…it’s the trip!
And A Devil’s Din certainly takes listeners on a trip…a journey to the center of the psyche with their superb mind-expanding music created for all the right reasons. Inspired by The Beatles (66,67), Syd Barret-era Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Byrds, Lines describes his band’s music as ‘adventurous, transcendent, melodic, esoteric, rockin’!”.
A Devil’s Din has two fine albums under their collective kaftans, “One Day All This Will Be Yours” (2011) and “Skylight” (2016), and now, as though creating a trans-dimensional triptych, they unleash “One Hallucination Under God”.
Lines has very positive aims.
“A Devil’s Din plays a form of rock music that takes cues from both psychedelic and progressive styles. Our goal is to create adventure though sound, hopefully allowing out listeners to connect with something more along the way. We know it’s only rock ‘n’ roll, but we want to have a positive effect on their psyche, not just through the music, but with words as well…This album is a trip to listen to, full of grooves and hooks and colour and meaning that will resonate with the Experienced Mind!…Overall the theme of the album is about “Perception Versus Reality”, our world is essentially a subjective experience, a reflection of our individual thoughts and judgments!”
“One Hallucination Under God” will be available as of September 29th, 2017.
Their second single and new video “Home” is exclusively premiering on PureGrainAudio.com.
The band comments:
“Home, is a groovy, stoned, fuzzed-out love song about a man who finally has met someone worthy enough to lay down some roots for. Propelled by a pounding, surf-like drum beat, a hook-laden distorted bassline and crunchy-sweet electric guitars, with melotron and Hammond B3 filling the spaces, this song possesses a heavy trance-like hypnotic quality, which is the perfect canvas for our vocalist Dave Lines’ wide-ranging voice; the verses are low and deep, and the chorus rises high as he emotes the classic declaration of amorous intent.”

“There’s a really adventurous but relaxing sound to One Hallucination Under God. Kicking off with the trippy & mind-warping rock melody of Brave New World. It’s a start that will put a big smile on the face thanks to the feel-good vocals & hooky guitar riffs.” – Games, Brrraaains & A Headbanging Life
“Rock ’n’ roll on the timeless precipice of psychedelic, progressive, transgressive danger. Be warned.” –Lorraine Carpenter, Montreal Mirror/ Cult Mtl
“This trio reminded me of a psychedelic, more-progressive version of Black Sabbath. ” – Bucketlist Music Reviews
“I love to take a trip back into the glorious sounds of vintage psychedelic rock music and I would honestly suggest you do the same.” – Merchants of Air
“easy listening, sit back and enjoy the ride.” – Kats Metal Litter Box
“the band has one very important thing! Good songs. And even more special, great lyrics.” – ProgShine
“If you like old Jefferson Airplane, Yellow Submarine era Beatles and the like then you should dig the hell out of A Devil’s Din. I found it to be a lot of fun.” – Thy Demons Be Scribblin
” really love a great power trio, and A Devil’s Din is a power trio that sound like a 5 piece. The record is good listening, with some songs needing undivided attention due to the poetic lyrical content. With that being said, Skylight is a record with many layers and deserves many listens.” – Slickster Magazine
“Skylight is driven with hooks, and melodies and sprawling lead playing. I bet seeing these guys play live in an open air festival would be quite the experience.” – Kingston Music Reviews
“Drawing from Cream, Syd Barrett Pink Floyd, and all points in between, A Devil’s Din has reminded us how beautiful music once was.” – Glacially Musical

The video was produced by Cody Hess and is exclusively premiering at NuMetalMessiah.net at http://numetalmessiah.net/2017/09/riksha-unleash-lyric-video-for-banging-danger-new-album-out-now/
Riksha recently inked a worldwide deal with Zombie Shark Records, the new record label from Noah “Shark” Robertson (Motograter, Ex-The Browning). The band’s latest album “Five Stages Of Numb” was recorded at Elevate Studios by notable producer and drummer for Chelsea Grin, Pablo Viveros. Album art was provided by Die Elster.

Since then, the band has purchased a 1973 Eagle Tour Bus and has hit the road throughout the US. Riksha is currently making plans to tour the U.S. in support of their upcoming release.
Zombie Shark Records label manager Michael Boodagh states, “Riksha is a growing artist that is continually perfecting their craft. I am pleased to welcome them to the ZSR team! I can’t wait to see what comes next!”
Riksha takes four guys and squeezes out as much sound and energy as possible. With a combination of both melodic and in your face vocal and guitar styles, Riksha hammers away with a musical montage of aggression, power, and strength to create a new and bold sound.

0 Sentinal Daily – Arisen From Nothing – Broken (Collective Wave Records EP)
Seattle natives Arisen From Nothing have pointed to a possible bright future with the release of this new EP. Modern metal they definitely are, but they employ enough old school techniques – you know, good playing, good songwriting, that kinda thing – to attain a sort of ‘best of both worlds’ state of metal grace that definitely marks them out as ones to watch.

0 DeadRhetoric – Buried Realm – The Ichor Carcinoma “There’s plenty of ear-candy to be found on The Ichor Carcinoma – be it in the form of aggressive melodeath riffing, soaring leads, or sheer vocal variety.”
There’s plenty of ear-candy to be found on The Ichor Carcinoma – be it in the form of aggressive melodeath riffing, soaring leads, or sheer vocal variety. While it doesn’t stray far outside of the genre realms, there’s only a handful of releases that one can think of in recent memory that execute it with this much passion and finesse. With its time of release, one hopes that the album doesn’t become lost in the mix of fall juggernauts. This is too strong to be overlooked.
