About:

Based in the Canadian capital of Ottawa, Endemise delivers an astoundingly intense combination of blackened death metal and orchestral awe. Following a series of style-sculpting releases between 2005 and 2012, the band emerged in 2013 with their defining full-length, Far From The Light. The ten punishing tracks were produced by long-time collaborator Mike Bond alongside guitarist Dale Sauve, and became available worldwide via Maple Metal Records. Endemise continues to masterfully blend a din of choking darkness alongside majestic orchestral arrangements – an element featured in full grandeur during live performances – into a mature and cohesive sound that has captivated listeners internationally. Now, in 2016, the band is hard at work preparing the next set of tracks to spread to eager fans, which promise to raise the bar yet again and show fans new and old why they are truly masters of their craft.”

0 Dead Rhetoric – Krepitus – The Eyes of The Soulless

· krepitus

A case where the music keeps its vicious edge but the melodies are just as wickedly triumphant, The Eyes of the Soulless is one to check out for the death/thrash fanbase. For a debut to escape being easily pegged as “this style” or “that style” alone is worthy of a few kudos, but the musical precision that Krepitus is already employing gives an even bigger reason to check them out. A rock-solid start for these guys.

0 Canadian Beats – Review – Shark Infested Daughters – These Tides, Our Tombs

November 14, 2016
by Asher
· Shark Infested Daugthers

Packed full of speedy riffs and crushing breakdowns, fans will have to come up for air with each new track or risk being lost to the depths of it’s beautiful melodies. The musicianship is expertly displayed, immediately intense and surprisingly diverse. The vocals are executed brilliantly, and the dichotomy of Erika Leah’s siren song voice against the pure aggression of Chris Thoresen gives the album an overall feeling of decadent dread.
