ZAUM is a passage toward the dark realizations of the old world; a monolithic, doomy mantra-based meditative experience forged by bass and drums interwoven with sitar, woodwind, string, and synth textures. Based in New Brunswick – Canada, observers experience a tranquil resonance whereby the astral and physical planes can coexist and be understood from a natural perspective.

ZAUM’s new album ‘Divination’ is a direct continuance of the ever-evolving lore and world in which ZAUM has exposed. Conceptually, the album unpacks transmundane darkness from ancient Burma – touching on conflict, theism, and some esoteric events which play a key role in the developing canon of ZAUM based on their previous releases to date.

Audibly, the album portrays a dense and vivid dream state; supplanting the listener into an overseer’s perspective of these aforementioned esoteric depths, re-experienced with celestial clarity. The soundscapes within encapsulating an unveiled mysticism harnessed to unpack the fluidity of consciousness at the crux of the human condition.

While ZAUM’s meditative “Mantra Doom” sound stays quite true to what people have experienced to date, their sound and presentation certainly has progressed further into new territory on DIVINATION with the inclusion of recorded instrumentation such as Jaw Harp, Didgeridoo, Singing Saw, Dilruba, Saz, Brass Bells, Brass Bowl, and Finger Cymbals. In addition, their live experience now features a monumental change with the recruitment of Egyptian-Canadian evil queen Nawal Doucette to ZAUM, performing her mesmerizing dark dance rituals entrancing those who observe.

ZAUM is :
Kyle Alexander McDonald – vocals, bass, textures
Christopher Lewis – drums, percussion
Nawal Doucette – visual performance art, ambiance

“ZAUM acknowledges the financial support of FACTOR and Canada’s private radio broadcasters.”
“ZAUM recognizes the support of Music/Musique NB and the Government of New Brunswick.”

Formed in 1987 in Niagara Falls, Sven Gali brought the 80’s and 90’s hard rock/metal wave to Canada. They delivered their high-energy live show from coast to coast, and across the US and Europe for the next 9 years.

Twenty-five years after their debut album went Gold in Canada, in 2018 they came back with a monster new song called “Kill The Lies” recorded with legendary producer David Bendeth (Paramore, Breaking Benjamin, Bring Me The Horizon) that reached nr 3 on Top Rock Streams in Canada on the CBC.

In 2019 they released a follow-up track, “You Won’t Break Me” also produced by David Bendeth. Two more songs are being recorded before the end of 2019 for an EP release and in 2020 the band plans to put out 2 full albums of previously unreleased material from 1988 to 1996.

The band has sold out Canadian shows in 2018 and 2019 and will continue to play solo and festival dates in North America and Europe through 2020 and beyond.

The lineup includes all 3 remaining original members: Dave Wanless (vocals), Andy Frank (guitar), Shawn Minden (bass) and new members Sean Williamson (guitar) and Dan Fila (drums) from Canadian metal powerhouse and BMG label mates Varga.

Sven Gali built a name fast with their live shows; drawing growing crowds on the Canadian and US circuit while building their songwriting chops and a wild reputation. David Bendeth signed the band to BMG Music Canada in 1991 and produced the self-titled debut, released in 1992.

The album included singles and videos for “Under The Influence”, “Tie Dyed Skies”, “In My Garden”, and the ballad, “Love Don’t Live Here Anymore” (#6 CanCon song of 1993). It included a cover of Teenage Head’s “Disgusteen” featuring guest vocals by Frankie Venom. The video for “Under the Influence” won the MuchMusic Best Metal Video award in 1993. The band was nominated for Hard Rock Album of the Year and Most Promising Band at the Junos. Sven Gali went gold in Canada that year.

Sven Gali toured extensively throughout Canada and the USA, Germany, Belgium, Ireland, and the UK, headlining and on the bill with acts including April Wine, Foreigner, Candlebox, Pearl Jam and Def Leppard. They were a staple on MTV’s HeadBanger’s Ball in the UK and Europe.

Their follow up album, Inwire (1995), recorded at London Bridge Studios in Seattle, was produced by Kelly Grey (Candlebox, Brother Kane, Dokken) and featured guest musicians Christopher Thorn of Blind Melon, and Candlebox’s Kevin Martin and Scott Mercado.

Look out for Sven Gali on the road in the next few years.

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – October 30, 2019

MetalSucks Video Premiere: Montreal’s GROWLER CHOIR Performs “The Dayking”

Montreal’s Growler Choir (Le Choeur Des Growlers in French) was dreamt up by composer Pierre-Luc Senécal in 2016. What may have been a wild fantasy for many metalheads was finally brought to fruition in May 2019 in co-production with Le Vivier et Codes d’Accès when the eighteen member choir took the stage for their first public performance.

Comprised solely of metal growlers, the choir blends metal and contemporary music in a way that is groundbreaking. In their debut performance conducted by Senécal, the Growler Choir performed the dramatic words from the poem “The Dayking” by Fortner Anderson backed with a reinforced sound arsenal. The Growler Choir does more than emphasize vocal techniques specific to the genre of extreme metal, they explore the sonic potential of the voice to demonstrate its extraordinary properties, both sensual and monstrous.

They thoroughly delighted the audience, many of whom sat on opposite ends of the musical spectrum. The one of a kind performance was recorded so that music lovers everywhere can witness this very unique event.

The Growler Choir innovates on several levels. On one hand, it materializes an almost mythical idea of metal music; on the other hand, it renews the archetypes of a genre by approaching them in an experimental spirit. In short, they are making contemporary and metal music more approachable for new audiences.

Samuel Arseneau-Roy (Basalte)
Laurent Bellemare (Basalte, Sutrah)

Calgary’s Woodhawk are at it again with a new album “Violent Nature” being released on Friday, November 1st. Before it officially drops, the stoner rock trio has teamed up with MetalInsider.net for the album’s exclusive full stream premiere HERE.

Their sophomore full length “Violent Nature” steps away from the science fiction themes evident on their previous release 2017’s “Beyond The Sun” and takes a more therapeutic turn. Putting a lot of time and production into the new album with producer Jesse Gander (Rain City Recorders), Woodhawk has worked really hard to capture energy and emotion.

The band explains:

“On previous efforts, we wrote from a science fiction standpoint. It’s where we all were at, at the point in our lives and reflected what we wanted to say and represent. Now, we believe in honesty and find the therapeutic side of music. This album has been an expressive honest view into our lives over the past 2 years.”

For fans of Black Sabbath, The Sword, and Clutch, “Violent Nature” will be available on November 1, 2019 for order and stream via the band’s Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music, and all major music platforms.

See Woodhawk live on the following dates:

Nov 8 – Calgary, AB – Palomino (Album Release Show)

Track Listing:
1. Snake In The Grass (4:46)
2. Weightless Light (3:38)
3. Dry Blood (4:30)

5. Old Silence (4:46)
6. Clear The Air (5:32)

About:
From the foot of the majestic Rocky Mountains hails Calgary, AB’s rock n’ roll trio Woodhawk. Masters of the straight-ahead riff rock, Woodhawk blends classic rock influences of Black Sabbath and Thin Lizzy with smooth grooves, cranked amps, and heavy-hitting drums. The coalescence of melodious vocals, catchy riffs, and dynamic instrumentation creates a vast soundscape for the listener to explore. With lyrical themes of science fiction and sorcery to more recent themes of struggles and triumph, Woodhawk wears their heart on their sleeve.

Woodhawk began in 2014 with the release of a self-titled EP, followed by the critically acclaimed full length “Beyond The Sun” in 2017. A melodically rich and varied album, steeped in science fiction themes and packed with undeniably catchy riffs, “Beyond the Sun” cemented Woodhawk’s status as a desert rock band with unlimited potential to break through into the mainstream. Rather than taking their freewheelin’ brand of lyrical chrono-metal into the comfortable bracket of factory-produced R’n’R, Woodhawk elected to explore the road less traveled.

Returning to Rain City Recorders in Vancouver, BC during February 2019, Woodhawk worked with Jesse Gander (Anciients, Bison, 3 Inches of Blood, Japandroids, Pack AD) to record their sophomore album “Violent Nature”. Over the course of 2 weeks, Woodhawk tracked their strongest effort yet, producing songs that address the struggles of mental health straight on, and laying it all on the line. Woodhawk’s new material abandons the world of fantasy in pursuit of emotional authenticity and self-discovery.

Our heroes’ quest for clarity and independence has landed them on the precipice of ambition and accomplishment. It’s a true turning point of entry for Woodhawk’s lofty yet assertive life-goals. The elegant anthems and pulsing chords of the next phase in the group’s sonic evolution can scarcely be contained. Grounded with one foot in the present and another in the dynamic future, Woodhawk’s outlook is as boundless as their command of their genre. With the new album due out on November 2, 2019, their intelligence, inventiveness and an uncanny knack for generating timeless tunes are ready to flood the senses and tug at the spirit with an easy-going nonchalance that embraces the audience with confidence and jean-jacketed arms.

Woodhawk features guitarist Turner Midzain, bassist Mike Badmington, and drummer Kevin Nelson. They have taken the stage at the Commodore Ballroom, Sled Island, and UP+DT, in addition to multiple Canadian tours. They have also shared the stage in support of Airbourne, Truckfighters, Elder, and The Shrine. Woodhawk has their sights set on touring North America and Europe to bring their highly energetic and captivating live performance to new audiences.

“Their brand of this style sounds far more refreshing and has a modern rock ‘n roll kind of aura to go along, slightly ringing in signs of alternative influence. The end result is as if Black Sabbath and Thin Lizzy had a child born in the age of Chevelle. With that said, this is immaculate. ” – Indy Metal Vault

“Violent Nature kicks off with the slithering riffs of “Snake in the Grass,” which comes crawling up slowly before striking with a venomous fuzz-riffy attack, and a soaring, fist-raising chorus. “Weightless Light” gets my head nodding right away with a solid stoner rock riff, while giving off a pretty decent Monster Truck vibe in the chorus – I can see why they made it the pre-release single.” – Hellbound

“Violent Nature surpasses their debut and then some; the Rocky Mountain trio have harnessed the best of the past, given it a fresh coat of paint, made me smile and just enjoy rock and roll in its purest form…” – The Sleeping Shaman

“In order for a band like this to succeed they have to be really good at what they do, and Woodhawk is very much that. They stand somewhere between protometal and first wave metal. Not quite as heavy as Sabbath and not nearly as classic-rocky as Deep Purple. But you put this record on, let it play, and see how long it takes you to notice that your foot… It’s on my vinyl to buy list.” – Glacially Musical

“The music and lyrics are born from genuine experiences, transpiring to add depth and a satisfying quantity to each song. Overall, this means Violent Nature is a real piece of music in every sense. Definitely recommended for fans of metal, heavy metal, traditional heavy metal, hard rock/classic rock fans, desert rock, stoner rock, and blues.” – Mosh Nerd Republic

“Amazingly, Pyramids On Mars is the brainchild of just one man, a certain Kevin Estrella, who handles all instruments and drum programming. He truly is a virtuoso, however, unlike most virtuosos, he can write songs and play with feeling. His peers are the likes of Joe Satriani, Stevie Vai, Ritchie Blackmoor, Jimmy Page, and Randy Rhodes. Note that I said peers; he stands well on his own feet…I truly hope as many people hear this extraordinary album as possible—it truly is brilliant and deserves the widest possible audience.” – Hellbound (2015 – Echo Cosmic Review)

“If you’re a fan of talented and virtuous guitarists, it’s worth following this man. I recommend it!” – Metal Temple (2015 – Echo Cosmic Review)

“‘Echo Cosmic’ is a great trip through the immense and ever-expanding universe of guitar music.” – Merchants of Air (2015 – Echo Cosmic Review)

“Pyramids on Mars blows borders of metal and rock away and leaves you with a satisfied feeling.” – Dutch Metal Maniac (2015 – Echo Cosmic Review)

“Kevin Estrella demonstrates that not only is he a very accomplished guitar virtuoso BUT he’s genuinely multi talented playing all the instruments himself on this record.” – All About The Rock (2015 – Echo Cosmic Review)

“PYRAMIDS ON MARS is the brainchild of Kevin Estrella. I immediately forgot this was a one-man project as soon as I started listening to new album Echo Cosmic…has a sound all its own.” – Amps And Green Screens (2015 – Echo Cosmic Review)

“Pyramids on Mars have just released Echo Cosmic, which is easily the finest instrumental album since Joe Satraini’s seminal Surfing with the Alien.” – Steve Earles, Hellbound.ca

“Kevin Estrella, much like Vai and Satriani, can make his guitar truly communicate and display emotion. That’s NOT a skill that comes with practice. There’s a real passion Kevin plays with that only comes along every so often…a real magic.” – SleepingBagStudios

“Kevin Estrella is probably the most criminally unknown guitar player on the planet.” – Dutch Metal Music

“Kevin Estrella is impressively high- quality. His lead work, however is where he shines. Smooth, melodic, adapt and soaring. Kevin Estrella is in the same ballpark as David Gilmour.” – Metallian

Bio:

PYRAMIDS ON MARS is guitarist Kevin Estrella who offers an aural palette of intense, emotional, 4-dimensional, melodic instrumental rock/ metal infusing a range of influences of Baroque classical composers J.S Bach and Antonio Vivaldi with today’s guitar virtuosos Yngwie Malmsteen and Joe Satriani.

PYRAMIDS ON MARS latest album name ‘EDGE OF THE BLACK’ set for release December 21, 2019, to follow 2015’s full length titled Echo Cosmic, and 2013 debut self-titled Pyramids on Mars.

“I honestly think “EDGE OF THE BLACK” will do for this decade what Joe Satriani’s ‘Surfing With The Alien’ did for instrumental rock back in the ’80s. It captures the same passion, energy, and melodic hooks, yet it has an updated sound. It is no secret I am heavily influenced by the band Rush. They are a part of my circuitry.

“EDGE OF THE BLACK sounds like if Joe Satriani/Yngwie Malmsteen joined Rush.” – Kevin Estrella.

Featuring ten tracks of emotionally high energy music that mostly seemed to write itself, coming literally from the Edge of the Black. The Edge of the Universe, where nothingness and everything exists. The album as a whole pays homage to some of Estrella’s biggest influences while still staying true to himself and his own creations.

“On EDGE OF THE BLACK, I wanted to put emphasis on songwriting. Telling a story. Each song tells a story it’s hard not to visualize as it takes you on a trip. The emphasis is not just on the lead guitar melody, but on the band as a whole. Harmonic variations on repeating themes are strongly utilized. Like Rhyming phrases in spoken language that allow easier accurate retelling of the original story. This idea of repeating music phrases/themes so the audience can easily recall it and ‘hum it all the way home.’

I set the intent of a desire to feel the story within the physical body of the audience.

Welcome to the EDGE OF THE BLACK.
