NEWS RELEASE
Montreal, QC – February 28, 2019
For fans of Kamelot, Symphony X, Alter Bridge, Tesseract, Ghost
RED CAIN Reveal Their “Kindred: Act I” In Full Album Stream via Beatroute
Debut Album Out March 1st
Born out of the emerging metal scene of Calgary, AB, RED CAIN is a modern melodic metal project with European roots. With intricate songwriting, a heavy yet melodic feel reminiscent of progressive acts, and eerie ambient elements, RED CAIN champion a fluid, dynamic, and unique musical style centered around telling dark, conceptual Faustian sagas and constructing those into an unforgettable live experience. Listeners might well pick out elements reminiscent of such luminary acts as Kamelot, Symphony X, Tesseract, Draconian, Marilyn Manson, whipped into a venomous new shape.
With the release of their first full-length “Kindred: Act I” on the horizon (March 1, 2019), RED CAIN are proud to premiere the album’s full stream via Beatroute.
The band comments:
“With our first full-length album “Kindred: Act I”, we dive into a conceptual journey through the primordial depth of the human psyche, surfacing to tell mythological tales of war, love, and transformation. Slavic, Celtic, and Egyptian myths all find a place within the tracks, in a venomous new form – battle hymns, sorrow-songs, and eldritch chants. These are tracks we’ve put our blood and spirit into, and while listener-friendly, also contain a huge variety of layering and elements that require a number of listens to truly explore. Each tells a story, and in fact, the concept behind the album (and there is one, which will also be continued in Kindred: Act II), is able to be picked up here.
Musically, “Kindred: Act I” is a further continuation of our EP, and fans will see that while it is still clearly a Red Cain album, there has been a significant progression in both style/songwriting and production. We have kept a raw sound in a modern package, and the tracks themselves are very different yet very connected to one another through a variety of musical, lyrical, and storytelling threads. With our non-musical elements such as music and lyric videos, accompanying short stories, and the lyrics themselves, we hope to tell a compelling tale that appeals to a wide audience. To us, “Kindred: Act I” is an ancient Sumerian incantation etched into the fiberglass wall of a derelict starship. Who can say what’s inside?”

“I couldn’t be more impressed with this band and album from the opening track “Snake Bouquet” to the last track “Wing Of The Crow” which is an awesome closing track with guest vocals from Kobra Paige of Kobra and The Lotus. This album takes you on an epic and melodic journey, I feel fans of bands from Avatar to Kamelot to Marilyn Manson and anything in between will really love this album.” – Crannk
Highlight: #9 – RED CAIN – Canadian National Loud Chart – (Earshot) – Nov 15, 2016 (2016 S/T EP)
“With a lot of buzz surrounding the new recording, the local scene is soon going to start seeing this group all over local venues.” – PureGrainAudio (2016 S/T EP)
“Red Cain comes at you with a head-banging force. The impact when you hear the song Guillotine will be leaving you wanting to hear more!” – CFMU 93.3 FM – Master Radio (Hamilton, ON) (2016 S/T EP)
“What works best for Red Cain are those spots in between the sheer intensity of what’s on display – a proper dynamic understanding of quieter introspection, something that makes Opeth and Steven Wilson so brilliant. At 24 minutes and change, Red Cain are on the right path, sure to drum up significant interest as the band deliver songs that contain hooks while pushing boundaries – always the best game plan for long-term appeal in this genre.” – Dead Rhetoric (2016 S/T EP)
“A strong new band in the progressive metal genre, performed with ardor and passion! ” – Lords of Metal
“Red Cain have the songs and are worthy of your time if you are seeking a new symphonic metal band.” – Get Ready To Rock
“it is powerful stuff waiting for ye that risks to blast the socks off your feet.” – Rock Music Raider
