0 Maritime Metal – Marc Durkee – Remain In Stasis – “There is some great guitar work here, from heavy riffing in songs like the opening track “The Dark Dimension” and later in “A Great Distain” to the acoustic passages in “Not Without Sin” and “A Way To Escape”. Overall it’s a fairly mellow album with the heaviness spread out evenly throughout.”
“With a handful of EP’s and LP’s out since 2013, he is a one man band with a vision. A dark and depressing sound that is accessible to Metal and Rock fans alike. “Remain In Stasis” is his first full length album and all tracks are performed, written, produced, and mixed by Marc.

0 The Metal Crypt – Review: Ominous Eclipse – Sinister
0 November 2018 – Rock Hard Germany – Turbo Vixen
0 Metal Temple – Trollwar – Oath of The Storm
Overall, this was an outstanding album, for a band that clearly has a lot to offer. What I can’t figure out is why no one has signed them yet? The production is excellent. They have a sophistication and complexity in their sound that few others do, yet each track is very easy to listen to. It’s like you combined the best of the old, IRON MAIDEN, with the best of the new, WINTERSUN, and you have TROLLWAR, with their own unique flair. The melodies are both playful and dangerous, and the entire album is excellent from the opener through the closer. “Oath of the Storm” is a fascinating glimpse into the soul of the band, where they let it all out there for you to enjoy. And enjoy it I did! http://www.metal-temple.com/site/catalogues/entry/reviews/cd_3/t_2/trollwar-oath-of-the.htm

Wacken Metal Battle Canada organizer JJ Tartaglia comments:
“I think these new changes for 2019 will be a big help in keeping Metal Battle Canada exciting for both the bands and the audience. The idea of moving around the national final has been tossed around for a while now, so holding the finals in Calgary this year will be a refreshing twist on the structure. And the East Coast! As a Maritimer myself, I couldn’t be happier with the addition of Halifax and St. John’s, now making these events truly coast to coast.”

0 Out Now! One Man Shredder THANATOS Unleashes Debut Self-Titled EP
(contact info below)
NEWS RELEASE
Montreal, QC – December 14, 2018
For fans of Psycroptic, Necrophagist, Beyond Creation
Out Now! One Man Shredder THANATOS Unleashes Debut Self-Titled EP
Focusing on creating an inspiring, yet unsettling experience for the listener, Thanatos, brings brutal and technical groove to your ears. Created by Ian Waye, Thanatos is a one-man project, coalesced as a method of metaphorical storytelling and a means to culminate the riffs, melodies, and licks crafted through years of composition, some ideas dating back to 2012.
Unleashing his latest single ‘Shores of Styx ’, the track completes the release of his debut self-titled EP by following his previous discharged shredders over these last few months.
Stream – Shores of Styx – https://youtu.be/yAZB-zwIr2g
For fans of Necrophagist, Beyond Creation and Psycroptic, Thanatos’ debut EP was recorded, mixed and mastered by Ian Waye.
Waye expands on how he wants his listeners to react:
“It should floor them. The aim of Thanatos is to instill a deep desire to develop oneself and master your arts. The lyrics speak to this and the instrumentation of cultivated with meticulous care. The music represents an apotheosis, achieved through a commitment to being the best musician possible and the lyrics embody this.”
The EP is now officially available as of December 14th for both download and stream through the following links:
Spotify
Bandcamp
YouTube

1. Call of the Hellenistic Progeni (6:42)
2. Among the Throes of Annihilation (6:26) (ft. guest soloe by Gottfrid Norberg Waxin (Deathbreed))
