GORLVSH (pronounced Gore-Lush) is a power trio hailing from Montreal, Canada and they are eager to bring their bizarre, mathy, metallic hardcore music to ears everywhere. With a full-length album in the works, they introduce their first single ‘Wait For Me’ with the premiere of its music video on Decibel Magazine.

In the raw and gritty video, we are introduced to the unique and creative hardcore that is influenced by Converge, DFA1979, and Lightning Bolt. GORLVSH shares their thoughts on the upcoming album entitled “New City Vibe”:

“We’ve upped our production game a lot, but focused primarily on what makes our sound unique, finding riffs that work for our blend of multiple bass amps, octave pedals, and a ton of distortion and fx. We really aim to sound as good and professional as possible, despite our DIY ethos and $0 recording budget.”

To further explain the first single ‘Wait For Me’, GORLVSH had this to say:

“It’s our attempt to rip off NAILS and be heavy AF, this is also the song where we finally nailed down the tone we wanted from the unconventional bass rig”

GORLVSH is definitely giving listeners something new with their music, it’s heavy, it’s sludgy and it’s energetic, suited for anyone looking for something completely different.

‘Wait For Me’ can be watched and heard at the following link: https://www.decibelmagazine.com/2019/06/20/song-video-premiere-montreals-gorlvsh-get-wired-and-weird/

About:
Crashing out of Montreal, Canada, comes the latest in new city groove in the form of GORLVSH. This power trio hails themselves as Montreal’s Sickest Guitar-less Band, and what they lack in guitar they make up for with a tornado of crushing riffs, a dash of poppy hooks and fucked up rhythms.They combine their technical wankery with gutter punk sensibilities to bring a bizarre, mathy, metallic hardcore-esque punk sound with inspiration from Death From Above and Lightning Bolt. This bass/drum/banshee trio works hard on their music together with Nick (bass) starting with a bag of riffs, Noah (drums) adding complexity and then Isaac (vocals) writes lyrics about whatever inspires him that day and the result is unique, sludgy, metallic hardcore that can only be GORLVSH.Even with their DIY attitudes, the sound is produced and performed phenomenally and they write their music with the live show in mind. They want people to be excited to experience something new and in 2019, they will release their first full-length album “New City Vibe”. Currently the band’s debut single “Wait For Me” is out now and available Bandcamp along with their 2017 split EP with Offset.Band Members:
Noah Baxter (Drums)
Nick Boucher (Bass)
Isaac Ruder (Vox)

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – June 19, 2019

For fans of Conquering Dystopia, Alluvial, Revocation, Nevermore, Voivod

Guitar Shredder MATT CHANWAY Shares Playthrough Video For Single ‘The Beyond’

A finalist of Guitar Idol, the world’s foremost guitar competition showcasing the top emerging players on the planet along with holding a fellowship in music performance from the University of West London, instrumental guitar shredder Matt Chanway returns with his new single ‘The Beyond’, which is one of four planned tracks to be released in the second half of 2019. As a Canadian guitarist, instructor, and session musician from Vancouver BC, Chanway’s single ‘The Beyond’ follows his critically acclaimed debut self-titled album released in 2016.

Chanway’s playing is inspired by a combination of the old and new school, with rock guitar players from the ’80s, modern progressive “shredders” such as Dan Mongrain and Jeff Loomis, as well as 70’s jazz-rock musicians John Mahavishnu and Al Di Meola. Fans of challenging, progressive, intense instrumental music artists such as Alluvial, Tony Macalpine, Martyr, Vitalism will enjoy Chanway’s music.

Chanway adds:

“Unlike my debut album that was a compilation of material written from 2008-2016, ‘The Beyond’ is the first of brand new instrumental music I have written from scratch. I chose the simple track title both as a representation of music, which pushes beyond my previous creative boundaries and of my own transformation in the past year from an aspiring shred guitar player to a full-time pro musician.”

Listen and watch to ‘The Beyond’ at the following link: https://youtu.be/iPqWB64OjVM

The single is also available on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music.

“You can hear the love of playing the guitar that emanates from the fingers of this extremely talented player with song after song of thrills and heavy shredding.” – Altered Frequencies

“This is not an album just for shredders, it’s for anyone who wants an album of great metal that will get your head banging and wear your air guitar out.” – The Ripple Effect

“Burstfire solos, frantic time signatures, complicated riffing and the like are all signposts of an artist who wants to see how far he can go. Unsurprisingly, this ambition pays off. The release could stand on its own as proof that Matt could play alongside the world’s greatest in shred guitar.” – Prog Sphere Magazine, February 2017

“The progressive metal genre never ceases to provide scores of insanely skilled guitar-slingers, and Vancouver’s Matt Chanway can now be recognized as another mind-blowing practitioner of the style.” – Guitar.com

“Ferocious, fast, and fucking awesome, Matt Chanway indeed has a scintillating skill that surely many would aspire to. His compositions are interesting, invigorating, intense, and inspiring: everything instrumental prog metal should be.” – Swept Media

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – June 17, 2019

For fans of Kreator, Slayer, Havok, Skull Fist, Carcass, Death

Reminder – Mexico’s HELLNITE Kick Off Western Canadian Tour For Haunting Album “Midnight Terrors” (Sliptrick Records)

HELLNITE – Midnight Terrors Western Canadian Tour:

June 21 – Edmonton, AB – Rendezvous

June 22 – Calgary, AB – The Rec Room

June 25 – Kelowna, BC – Munnin’s Post

June 28 – Vancouver, BC – Pub 340
July 1 – Nelson, BC – The Royale

Thrashers HELLNITE are proud to announce they will be embarking on their first ever Western Canadian tour since band founder Paolo Belmar relocated himself and the band to Edmonton, AB from Mexico City. While setting up the band again in Canada, Belmar was backed by Canadian musicians, but for this tour, he will be joined by original bassist Luis “Chaps” Mora and drummer Mauricio Salas for the road adventures through the Canadian Rockies and Prairies. The five-date “Midnight Terrors Western Canadian Tour”, which is in support of the same titled album the band released earlier this via Sliptrick Records, will be kicking off in Edmonton, AB on June 21st and ending on July 1st in Nelson, BC.

Each member had this to say about their first venture touring Canada.

Paolo: “I’m excited in general, not sure what to expect but I’m sure we’ll do our best. This is our first tour out of Mexico and having my old pals with me again makes me feel confident and I know we will have fun playing together as a band rather than just do it because I already started this and I have to finish it (as I was doing when the album was released), it feels really good to have the original lineup together again.”

Chaps: “I’m excited because it was a long time without playing with my best friends and doing this project together. We will put our whole hearts to make you feel the power of a Mexican Metal band.”

Mauricio: “To be honest, I’m nervous because it’s my first time playing in Canada but I’m pretty sure that every single night of the tour will be a night to remember! So, be prepared to feel the Mexican power!”

HELLNITE‘s debut release “Midnight Terrors” is lyrically a paranormal and sci-fi themed concept album with influences from classic heroes such as Kreator, Slayer, Death along with next-generation thrash and heavy metal such as Havok, Skull Fist. The album was written and recorded by founding member, vocalist, and guitarist Paolo Belmar who formed HELLNITEoriginally in Mexico City in 2010 and has now re-established the band Edmonton, Canada.

The album is available from Sliptrick Records here (CD) along with stream and download on iTunes, Spotify, and all major online retailers.

“Hellnite does it right and it’s so damn good. Midnight Terrors is a thrilling listen. An old-school thrash record. Nine tracks of hard-hitting metal with a bucket-load of head-banging riffs, evil sounding vocals, and crunchy drum beats. From the circle pit mayhem of Phantom Force to the galloping rhythm of Spirits Prevail and the super hot guitar work of Beasts from the Deep, the first half of the album is banger after banger. ” – Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life

“There is some top-notch riffing happening on Midnight Terrors.” – The Metal-Observer

“The guitar work is a ride that ascends and descends impressively. ” – Boston Rock radio

“a hybrid meshing of classic thrash and modern interpretation a welcome offering.” – The Metal Channel

“This is an album that can’t be missed or overlooked so go and get it. Hellnite has reassured the world that heavy metal will never die. Enough said, now get it and crank it up!” – The Dirty Room
