Calgary fuzz lords Chron Goblin are streaming their third single ‘Ghost’ off their upcoming album “Here Before” set to be unveiled on September 27, 2019 via Grand Hand Records.

Teaming up with Revolver Magazine the track’s exclusive premiere can be heard at the following link HERE.

Drummer Brett Whittingham adds:

“When we were writing ‘Ghost’, it felt like we were experimenting with new musical territory than we usually find ourselves writing in. Darty uses a different guitar tuning than we typically play in and both the guitar and bass are very resonant, droning, and psychedelic-trance-like. The drums are also a different approach than we typically take, cycling a busier syncopated rhythm during the verses to balance the trancy effect of the guitar and bass. The phrases are longer and drawn out in a rolling fashion, almost meditative. There’s also some interesting percussion on this track – a sack of change on a snare during the choruses, subtle piano chords as well as light, tickly piano licks during the interlude. In addition, Josh came up with a really great vocal melody that’s also a bit outside of his typical approach. Josh and I had been listening to GOAT’s World Music album a lot around the time of writing this track and were both influenced by that album in our approach to Ghost.”

Rock and sludge combine into a mix that set CHRON GOBLIN apart from other bands in the genre and after 10 years, they have perfected crafting their tunes that have been enjoyed around the world. Kerrang has noted them as one of “The 20 Canadian bands you need to know right now”. CHRON GOBLIN bring an exciting energy that can be felt throughout their new album “Here Before” along with being truly witnessed live. Fans of Red Fang, Kyuss, and Orange Goblin will strongly enjoy!

Guitarist Devin ‘Darty’ Purdy gives insight:

“With any Chron Goblin album you can expect heavy riffs, soaring vocals, and thunderous drums!  What sets this album apart is that it’s a bit more refined and mature – probably as a result of doing this for 10 years!  We also experimented quite a bit with our sound on tracks like ‘Ghost’, ‘Slipping Under’, and ‘Giant’ which moved away from our traditional Chron Goblin sound and added in more dynamics and melody.  The vocals really stand out on ‘Here Before’ and demonstrate a more melodic sound than previous albums.  We feel this album will be enjoyed by our long term fans while giving them a sense of a new sound and direction in addition to the classic ‘full steam onslaught riff attack’.”

Album pre-order is available on Bandcamp here.

In additional news, CHRON GOBLIN will be hitting the road to promote the new album for the “Tourgether At Last” with label mates Edmonton’s BLACK MASTIFF. The Canadian tour will be kicking off in Lethbridge, AB on October 10th and head east towards Montreal, QC to then circle back out west to wrap up on October 25th in Edmonton, AB.

Bio:

From the dusty coulees of Alberta’s Badlands to the jagged peaks of the snow-capped Rockies, the musical entity known as Chron Goblin is a true force of nature. Yet there’s simply no reckoning the immensity of the sound that these hard rockin’ Calgarians are capable of generating once they hit the stage boards. Grind-ing it out in the trenches and pits of venues and festivals across North America and Europe since 2009, the fuzz clad foursome knows no bounds when it comes to laying down the rugged riffage and cranking up the volume on a sweet Southern rock-tinged blues-metal breakdown. Surrender to the smoke show, heed the call of the Chron and inhale the melodious commotion churned up by the Goblins. The botanically-infused gin in your work-a-day tonic, Chron Goblin will obliterate those vexing worries and liberate your immortal soul.

Recorded in July 2018 at Juno Award Winning OCL Studios, ‘Here Before’ is the fourth full-length album from Chron Goblin and will be released and distributed by Grand Hand Records. Produced, recorded and mixed by Josh Rob Gwilliam (Michael Bernard Fitzgerald, Ghosts of Modern Man), Here Before demonstrates a new maturity in songwriting and production for the band. From the propulsive singles of ‘Slipping Under’ and ‘Ghost’; mixed by Mike Fraser (AC/DC, Metallica, Corrosion of Conformity), to the hypnotic riffs of ‘Oblivion’ – Chron Goblin has created an intoxicating collection of rock n’ roll.

(Bio written by Christine Leonard)

“What the band have in spades that sets them apart from the usual weed-worshipping crew is energy, giving even their stonier material enough oomph to keep them from lethargically ripping off Sabbath. “ – Kerrang Magazine

“ Fun, fast, and surprisingly slick” – VICE/ Noisey

“These guys caught my ear right away because in the local market there are precious few bands playing this style of hard Rocking Metal. Sonically this has groove, rock and some sludge written all over it. A certain sense of fun pervades all the tracks, energy creativity and a spirit of rock and roll.” –  Metal-Rules.com 

“It is no wonder why so many respected bands have took them under their wing. This is a band to keep your eyes firmly locked on” – The Sludgelord 

“The band’s love of the riff is highly in evidence, wrapped around a classic rock sensibility that, for once, sits well with the more obvious stoner and desert rock influences upon which the band have historically built their reputation.” – Ghost Cult Magazine

“While too many fuzz bands forget either how to be heavy or how to have fun, Chron Goblin shows a near mastery of these important concepts “ – New Noise Magazine

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – September 13, 2019

For fans of Metallica, Slayer, Testament and Anthrax

Rockshots Records: ENEMYNSIDE Music Video ‘Frozen Prison Cell’; New Album “Chaos Machine” Out Oct 25th


L-R – Matteo Bellezza (guitars), Fabio Migliori (drums), Andrea Pistone (bass), Francesco Cremisini (vocals/guitars)

Italian thrashers ENEMYNSIDE have released their new music video ‘Frozen Prison Cell’, the first single off their forthcoming album “Chaos Machine” due out October 25th via Rockshots Records.

“This track is about Soviet gulags, something I’ve been fascinated by reading books about labour camps in the Soviet Union. Francesco wrote the music and chose this lyrics, which fits perfectly with the atmosphere of the song. In the video you can see a prisoner trying to escape from the labor camp, but the prison he gets himself into is the boundless frozen land of Siberia.” says guitarist Matteo Bellezza.

Music Video – ‘Frozen Prison Cell’ here.

Active since 1994 as Scapegoat, in 1999 the band changed its name to ENEMYNSIDE. During their career, the band have toured Italy and Europe sharing the stage with bands such as Destruction, Dismember, Blaze Bayley, Paul Di Anno, Necrodeath, Extrema, Kiko Loureiro, Flotsam And Jetsam and many more.

The band’s anticipated 2019 full length album “Chaos Machine” features ten aggressive and relentless thrash tracks focusing on the sentiment of being trapped (both physically and metaphorically) by the world’s social injustices, control systems such as religious institutions and political authorities, totalitarianism and dictatorships.

The album follows the band’s catalog of EPs and albums “Dead Nation Army” (2016), “Whatever Comes” (2012) (Mighty Music/Target Distribution), “In The Middle of Nowhere” first released in 2007 on Sleazy Rider Records and re-released in 2008 through Hatestone Records/New Model and “Let The Madness Begin…” (2003) (Temple Of Noise/Frontiers Records).

“Chaos Machine” Album Pre-Order via Rockshots Records here.

Track Listing:
1. Faceless
2. Black Mud
3. Suffered Defeat
4. Frozen Prison Cell
5. Deadline
6. System Failure

8. Shitstorm
9. No God In Kolyma

JULIET RUIN Announce Western Canadian Show Dates Including Opening For Jinjer In Calgary & Edmonton

New Album “Old Stardust, Love, and Chaos” Out Now!

Western Canadian Tour Dates

Edmonton, AB’s JULIET RUIN have announced Western Canadian show dates that include an opening slot for Ukraine’s Jinjer in Calgary on October 29th and supporting fellow Albertans Arrival of Autumn in Grande Prairie on October 19th. The band will venture out to British Columbia for dates in Kelowna and Vancouver.

The band adds:

“We as a band are absolutely honoured to be opening up for Jinjer, we are all fans and their meteoric rise has been a pleasure to watch.”

Show Dates:

Sept 13 – Kelowna, BC – Fernando’s
Sept 14 – Vancouver, BC – Pat’s Pub w/ Kosm
Oct 4 – Red Deer, AB – The Krossing
Oct 19 – Grande Prairie, AB – Better Than Fred’s w/ Arrival of Autumn
Oct 29 – Calgary, AB – Dickens w/ Jinjer, The Browning, Sumo Cyco
Oct 30 – Edmonton, AB – Starlite Room w/ w/ Jinjer, The Browning, Sumo Cyco

JULIET RUIN recently released their first full-length album “Old Stardust, Love and Chaos” on September 6, 2019 to follow their 2017 debut self titled EP. The release promises to be more technical with heavy instrumentation, including some dabbling in low tuned 7 string guitars to create an original sound chock full of catchy hooks that convey a fresh and emotive feel to their heavy music. Lead vocalist Jess Ruin has added more screams, but also more clean techniques with her pop-esque power vocals. Fans of forward-thinking modern metal such as Evanescence, System of a Down, and Killswitch Engage should take special note of this powerful and emotive Canadian band.

The band explains the release:

“’Old Stardust, Love, and Chaos’ stays true to a lot of our root qualities in terms of catchy hooks and overall groove, but fans can expect a lot of new and even somewhat experimental things on the album as well. Lyrically speaking this album delves into a little bit deeper subject matter than the EP, focusing a lot of personal introspection and mental health, as well as general societal concerns from differing degrees of headspace; from optimism to apathy.”

Digital stream and download is available on Spotify, Bandcamp, Apple Music, Amazon.

Music Video ‘Spite’ here.


Track Listing:
1. Simple Wars (4:54)
2. Spite (3:49)

“Every band needs to find that element which connects them with a fanbase, and Juliet Ruin has done that early on in their career.” – PureGrainAudio

“Pre-album single “Spite” that features a Sprite logo is also reminiscent of “Cloud Factory” era Jinjer with an excellent vocal range on show. Blending riffs seamlessly with gravity defying leaps between sub-genres from classic Metal to Hard Rock to Metalcore, it’s a nice twist on the conventional approach.” – Metal Noise

“If you are into Halestorm, Jinjer, Killswitch Engage you are gonna fall in love with this group not just a bit. But madly and deeply! Grab a hold of this gem of a release on the 6th of September you aint gonna regret it , cos Juliet Ruin aint gonna “Ruin” ya day they are gonna make it !! ” – The Metal Gods Meltdown

“An album full of energy, fluid, strong! Aggressive! Powerful!! Continuous, forceful!” – Darkzen Dragon Metal Angels

“From hardrock, to metalcore and everythign in between, Juliet Ruin delivers a fun and interesting record with many sounds, attitudes and emotions.” – Heavy New York

“I have been really enjoying the heck out of this album” – Craank

BIO:

Arising from the thriving music scene of Stockholm, Sweden, Silent Call trace their lineage to the year 1990, when founding members Daniel Ekholm and Patrik Törnblom met through a common friend. Realizing their shared passion and strong melodic influence, they formed what became the chief driving force and songwriting effort behind Silent Call’s sound, which can be compared to many of the leading bands in today’s’ genre.

In 2006, Silent Call was joined by progressive metal drummer powerhouse Mikael Kvist (Elsesphere, Fate), and the lineup was soon expanded with the acquisition of bassist Tobbe Moen (Red Fun, OZ, Creozoth). The singer’s slot was finally filled in September of 2006 with the addition of ex-Seventh Wonder and Elsesphere vocalist Andi Kravljaca. After the completion of the lineup, things happened very quickly for Silent Call. The band’s debut 4-track demo “Divided,” released in January of 2007, showcased the band’s new direction and lineup and was promptly picked up by UK label Escape Music.

Silent Call’s debut album, “Creations From A Chosen Path”, was released during August 2008, featuring 13 tracks of powerful melodic metal, with guest appearances by the likes of Göran Edman (Yngwie Malmsteen, Brazen Abbot) on vocals and Daniel Flores (Mind’s Eye, Murder of My Sweet) on drums. The album was mixed and mastered at JM Studios by famed studio man Martin Kronlund (Hammerfall). Received extremely well by the press, “Creations From A Chosen Path” has been hailed as one of the best metal albums of 2008 by several European magazines.

During the winter of 2009, Silent Call began recording their follow-up album, “Greed”. Once again mixed and mastered by Martin Kronlund, and this time featuring artwork by Progart genius Mattias Noren, the 11 tracks on “Greed” explore heavier and more complex musical ground, showcasing Silent Call at their thus far most progressive, and most aggressive release.

Silent Call had to pull off something special if they were to continue on the lines of surpassing their debut and “Greed” had done just that. Their follow-up 2014 release “Truth’s Redemption” was a fine example of what fantastic progressive metal should actually sound like! With songs like “Every Day”, “All That Might Be” and “When the Angels Call Your Name”, Silent Call effortlessly produced top class music with all the hallmarks of being overnight sensations. Crisp guitar work, a plethora of keyboards and great lead vocals were all to be found on the album.

 

In late 2014, new vocalist Göran Nyström (ex Twinspirits) joined the band. Prior to that Silent Call consisted of Göran Nyström on vocals, Daniel Ekholm on guitars, Patrik Törnblom on keyboards, Tobbe Moen on bass and Mikael Kvist on drums. The band started writing songs for a new album in 2015 and also went on a European tour together with Sweden’s Tad Morose.

 

“Windows”, the newest album from Silent Call, will be released in the fall of 2019. Production on Silent Call’s fourth album, “Windows” was completed in late 2016 and was mixed and mastered by Rich Hinks (Annihilator).  “Windows” will be the last album of their career and is due out on October 11, 2019 via Rockshots Records.
