Washington D.C.’s Never Elected Rocks With The Hard-Hitting Truth Through ‘Wake Up’
L-R – Arnaud T (Dr T) – Bass, Altan Aydin – Guitars, Sujit Kumar – Vocals, Abel Arevalo Paiva – Drums
Washington, DC’s rockers Never Elected have a new single “Wake Up” that will be out on November 15th. Energetic and engaging, it’s hard-hitting rock with a catchy flair.
“Wake Up” can be heard via its premiere on PureGrainAudio.com HERE.

“Wake Up” is the musical interlude that comes after “Down Too Long”, which was released in 2017 and precedes the new album Never Elected are working on which takes a heavier, grungier turn. The band explains the release of the single:
“This single is just an indication of what lies ahead on our next album. We dropped our tuning to D, figuring that it gives us exactly what we are looking for soundwise. Our fans love to sing along to our songs and “Wake Up” was chosen to be the single based on what the fans loved most at our live shows.”
What started out in 2015, as an acoustic rock duo playing covers evolved into a full band that began turning heads in their hometown of Washington, D.C. with their high energy live performances, which includes their frontman climbing the walls, literally. Never Elected talks about the intricacies of the single:
“Catchy riffs are matched with a catchy vocal melody reaching out to convey a message. The pauses with absolute silence in between the choruses are deliberate to kind of show how we as a society in general, WAKE UP loudly to a certain problem, think about it, and once it’s all silent, we go back to sleep again, until WOKEN UP to another issue only to repeat the same all over again.”
Citing main influences coming from the glory days of 90s grunge like Soundgarden, Foo Fighters and Alice in Chains, Never Elected is recommended for fans of the genre and anyone who likes hard rock.

A common love for the heavy grunge of the 90s and good old Rock n Roll is what brought the guys of Never Elected together. Within 2 years of formation, they released their debut album ‘Down Too Long’ in 2017 and are now on the verge of completing album number two.

0 Montreal’s Blackened Thrash DIZASTRA To Unleash Debut Album “Elder Sun” Nov 22nd + New Music Video ‘Vae Victus’

NEWS RELEASE
Montreal, QC – November 12, 2019
For fans of Skeletonwitch, Dissection, Watain, Celtic Frost, Sepultura
Montreal’s Blackened Thrash DIZASTRA To Unleash Debut Album “Elder Sun” Nov 22
New Music Video ‘Vae Victus’
L-R – Pietro Giampa (Drums), Nathan Afilalo (Bass), Matt Conti (Guitar/Vocals), Denis Stoisin (Lead Guitar)
From the bowels of Satan’s lair, DIZASTRA has come. After a long wait, their first full-length album “Elder Sun” is ready to massacre fans on November 22, 2019.
Following their 2015 EP ‘Hell’s Gate’, Montreal based DIZASTRA summons unholy ferocity in their music merging the sounds of black, thrash and melodic heavy metal to coagulate a distinct sound.
During this past summer, these evildoers unleashed the music video for the first single off the album ‘Vae Victus’. An anthem to riding a dragon through Hades, this track combines all the elements of what makes heavy metal what it is. Bringing together shrieking vocals, pummeling drums, cosmic-threatening bass, and electrifying (literally) solos.
The video for ‘Vae Victus’ demonstrates their meager budget and Tolkien level storytelling in a compelling tale of time travel and high adventure. Wizards, warriors, battle, and friendship all come together to dazzle viewers across the globe.
Watch ‘Vae Victus’ here
and on Spotify.
Other tracks featured on “Elder Sun” such as ‘The Second Coming’ and ‘Dead ov Night’, steer the listener through sonic waters vicious and dark, assaulting you with wicked verses and melodious choruses. ‘Gnosis’ and ‘Piercing The Veil’ inject the album with a dose of mayhem and speed while ‘Astaroth’ closes the full-length by bringing listeners from the profoundest deeps to high peeks of heaven.
Altogether, the alchemy crafted in “Elder Sun” brings a sound both new and familiar to the votaries of thrash and black metal. There is an undeniable shrill-heaviness to this album that gets paired with a thrilling melody to create a thing as awe-inspiring and terrifying as the flames of our solar star. And much like the forbidding beauty of a westering sky, DIZASTRA’s “Elder Sun” is not to be missed.

From North Bay, Canada comes WITHIN NOSTALGIA and their gritty video for the single ‘Death Lifes’ Lover’ off their recent release “Conjuring A New Reality”.
Cold and haunting, the video shows off the band’s flair for combining styles, with a diverse mix of sounds ranging from sadness to uplifting all the while staying powerful and unique. As a live fan favourite it was chosen as their second single and ultimately a video. Going into the particulars of the track is front woman and songwriter Alyssa Broere:
“With its catchy hook and thought-provoking lyrical concept, this one is always a favorite for us to play as well. Amongst the catchiness and melody, the bridge brings forth a death metal feel that segues back into the melody.”
“Conjuring A New Reality” was released on October 5th of this year and was met with an overwhelming local response. Taking notes from bands such as Agalloch, Katatonia, and Fen; WITHIN NOSTALGIA creates a bleak melodic soundscape filled with honest emotion and aggression. The band says about the album:
“’Conjuring A New Reality’ as a whole covers much musical ground in terms of sound. Peaks and valleys emerge, evoking vast emotions. We want to create something that allows fans to expand their minds as well as think and feel life and all its highs and lows.”
Recommended for fans of post-metal, black gaze, and black metal, the video can be seen via its premiere on Bravewords HERE.
“Conjuring A New Reality” is available on Bandcamp, Spotify, and Apple Music.
Track Listing:
1. Heart In The Eye Of The Skull (8:53)
2. Air Of Deceit (6:50)
3. Code Of The Common (6:49)
4. Death Lifes’ Lover (5:01)
5. Soul Mirror (6:00)
6. Lost In Aversion (6:34)

About:
Nostalgia began in the summer of 2013 in Burlington, Ontario as a one-woman project inspired by the beauty of nature and dark emotion. Alyssa Broere wrote and recorded all instruments (drums, bass, guitar, and vocals) with only demo songs released. With relocation to North Bay winds of change began to set in and the addition of two members James Ahola (bass and backing vocals) and Kye Bell (drums), a live and full sound were created. In October of 2016, they released their first EP entitled “Visions”. Chad Hemmings joined on lead guitar for a fuller sound and as of January 27, 2018, the much-anticipated debut album “Internal Momentum Of Fate” came to fruition.
Following a brief lineup change, Liam Ahola and Sara Vi were added to the roster and Kye exchanged his drum sticks for a guitar. Nostalgia changed their name to Within Nostalgia as a new and more sophisticated sound was created. On October 5, 2019, their full length entitled “Conjuring A New Reality” was released into the world and is being met with great response all over the globe.

“Executing a production influenced by the delicate line of the Post-Rock adorned with atmospheric Shoegaze passages, the voices interpreted by the women are aggressive roars of black metal which are interspersed with soft voices giving harmony to the compositions etc. A release inspired by the beauty of nature that must be heard by fans of the genre” – El Abismo Del Metal

From darkness, Dizastra rides forth.
First there were two: Matt Conti and Denis Stoisin. Having played the likes of Quebec’s Heavy MTL festival and qualifying as finalists for Wacken Metal Battle Canada, these were veteran performers. Together they mixed melody with ferocity, merging the sounds of Black, Thrash and Melodic Heavy Metal to create Dizastra. Within a year of forming , the band their first EP titled Hell’s Gate in 2015, bringing them recognition as a rising force within the Quebec Heavy Metal scene.
Like tempered steel, Dizastra’s line-up was solidified in the summer of 2017 with the addition of Nathan Afilalo of Dissension on bass and Petey Giampa of Venomenon on drums. The contributions of these new members summoned new speed and malice to the group’s sound. With the band firmly established, they dug their heels in the trenches and began writing material for their first full-length album: “Elder Sun.” And four years after forming, at last, the album is here.
Dizastra released “Vae Victus” as the album’s first single. Bringing together shrieking vocals, pummeling drums, cosmos-threatning bass and electrifying solos, Vae Victus strides in triumph through listeners ears. Accompanied by a Tolkienesque music video of time travel and high adventure, “Vae Victus” is a perfect prelude for what is to come in “Elder Sun.” The following songs, such as “The Second Coming” and “Dead ov Night,” steer the listener through sonic waters vicious and dark, assaulting you with wicked verses and melodious choruses. “Gnosis” and “Piercing the Veil” inject the album with dose of mayhem and speed while Astaroth closes the album by bringing listeners from the profoundest deeps to high peeks of heaven.
Altogether, the alchemy crafted in Elder Sun brings a sound both new and familiar to the votaries of Thrash and Black metal. There is an undeniable shrill-heaviness to the album that gets paired with a thrilling melody to create a thing as awe-inspiring and terrifying as the flames of our solar star. And much like the forbidding beauty of a westering sky, Dizastra’s Elder Sun is not to be missed.

SHORT BIO
Tylor Dory Trio was conceived in late 2012 by guitarist/vocalist Tylor Dory and drummer Jonathan Webster. Wanting to step aside from playing in extreme metal bands, Dory and Webster decided to form the duo to explore the music close to their hearts – proggy weird stuff. The trio was completed in late 2013 after the addition of their bassist Slava Fedossenko.
Bringing together influences like Opeth, Alice In Chains, and Rush; TDT is characterized by proficient musicianship, tight songwriting, and powerful hooks. It’s progressive metal that isn’t pretentious. TDT loves pushing the boundaries of what a power trio can accomplish, but above all else, it’s about the songs.
Musically, they take their fans on a journey through light and dark tonalities, crushing heaviness to ethereal cleanliness, through peaks and valleys that end up coming full circle.
Their latest full length “Unsought Salvation” was recorded with the prolific Christer-Andre Cederberg at his studio in Kristiansand, Norway in February 2017, to be released December 20, 2019, to follow their 2015 EP “Carried Away”
LONG BIO
Tylor Dory Trio was conceived in late 2012 by guitarist/vocalist Tylor Dory and drummer Jonathan Webster. Wanting to step aside from playing in extreme metal bands, Dory and Webster decided to form the duo to explore the music close to their hearts – proggy weird stuff. Over time, the project took on new members, and other names, and by the time the first EP was scheduled to be released, it had distilled down to three. The trio was completed in late 2013 after the addition of their bassist Slava Fedossenko.
Even though Dory’s name is used for the band as the primary songwriter, writing is a collaborative process with each musician contributing equally to the process. Bringing together influences like Opeth, Alice In Chains, and Rush; TDT is characterized by proficient musicianship, tight songwriting, and powerful hooks. It’s progressive metal that isn’t pretentious. TDT loves pushing the boundaries of what a power trio can accomplish, but above all else, it’s about the songs.
After retooling their sound to complement their lineup, the band released their debut EP “Carried Away” in September of 2015. Showcasing powerful vocal harmonies, complex but catchy riffs and adventurous arrangements, “Carried Away” is a sign of things to come from a band not afraid to stretch out and think big. Musically, they take their fans on a journey through light and dark tonalities, crushing heaviness to ethereal cleanliness, through peaks and valleys that end up coming full circle. With lyrical themes involving personal events, current divides in society and the desire to see them mended and philosophical questions.
Their latest full length “Unsought Salvation” was recorded with the prolific Christer-Andre Cederberg at his studio in Kristiansand, Norway in February 2017, to be released December 20, 2019, to follow their 2015 EP “Carried Away”
