Chariots Of The Gods indeed have written great songs that have a good groove and are full of catchy riffs. And because the band is young and fresh, it all comes across more enthusiastic than similar bands like Arch Enemy, Trivium and even Dark Tranquillity. So if you like these bands, you need to listen to Chariot Of The Gods.

0 Lords of Metal – Chariots of The Gods – Ages Unsung
0 Lords of Metal – Illyrian – Round 2: Fight!
‘Round 2: Fight’ is 45 minutes of metal violence with the sole purpose of knocking you unconscious. Illyrian plays its metal as taught to do so by the big four, mixed with some modern ingredients here and there and an occasional death metal touch…All in all, an interesting and wayward piece of work by a band with potency. Do try this out for yourself!

After several tours of the USA and Europe, Ottawa’s nerd-rock trio DOUBLE EXPERIENCE are returning for their first cross-Canada tour since 2014. The band will be performing songs off their third full-length, “Unsaved Progress”, including their recent single “The Glimmer Shot”; a Destiny-themed rock anthem, which earned them accolades from the creators of the video game itself.
For the first time, Canadian fans will be treated to DOUBLE EXPERIENCE‘s larger-than-life show; an event that begins before the band even takes the stage.
“On our last UK tour, we coordinated everything from Pokemon duels on Game Boys with our fans, Pokemon-themed drink specials, cosplay contests, and more,” explains vocalist Ian Nichols. “This fall, we’re embracing Pokemon GO and incorporating aspects of that into what happens offstage.”

The album was brought to life with the help of Al Jacob and Kit Walters (HE IS LEGEND) at Warrior Sound in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
Prior to the creation of “Unsaved Progress”, Double Experience were busy performing across 15 countries, playing everywhere from video game museums to tattoo conventions as well as showcases at Canadian Music Week and Indie Week Canada. Their adventures have been supported by international radio, festivals and television alike, culminating with an entire nerd-rock exposé and performance on Global TV in Canada.
Album orders are now available at the band’s merch store here. A deluxe edition of the album – boasting two unreleased songs, two acoustic remixes, merch discount codes, studio footage and a brand new trading card – is also available for the fastidious Double Experience collector.

ALMAH Steaming Full Album ‘E.V.O’; Out Now! via Test Your Metal Records

Lyric Video – Age of Aquarius – Watch here.
Lyric Video – Please To Meet You – Watch here.
Brazilian metallers ALMAH led by ex-Angra singer Edu Falaschi are now streaming their latest album ‘E.V.O’ in full at the following link:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=giCJL_DmUCE
‘E.V.O’ was release on September 23rd in North America (US/MX/CA) viaTest Your Metal Records and available at the following link:http://www.testyourmetalrecords.bigcartel.com/product/almah-e-v-o-pre-order. ‘E.V.O’ is also available through Pride & Joy Music (EU) and King Records (Japan).
‘E.V.O’ is the 5th studio album from ALMAH and was recorded in São Paulo, Brazil at IMF studios by Tito Falaschi plus mixed and mastered by Damien Rainaud (Fear Factory, Dragonforce, Baby Metal, etc) at Mix Unlimited in Los Angeles, California. The release is a concept album based on the evolution of people’s mind and soul during the so-called AGE OF AQUARIUS – the new era that the world is about to live. The author of the concept, Edu Falaschi, touches different subjects connected to the main idea, creating very positive lyrics for the album’s atmosphere.
Musically ‘E.V.O’ brings a fresh and powerful sound with the typical modern and heavy ALMAH touch, but this time one will be able to realize that it also has a direct connection with the Angra’s “Rebirth” (the first Angra album with Edu Falaschi’s voice). The compositions are a pleasant travel between contemporary rock, modern power and prog metal. The vocal lines on ‘E.V.O’ are very powerful, classic and the vocals have a higher pitch compared to previous ALMAH’s records. It’s very melodic, clean and into the bel canto style.

1 – Age of Aquarius (7:13)
2 – Speranza (4:55)
3 – The Brotherhood (4:41)
4 – Innocence (4:35)
5 – Higher (5:09)
6 – Infatuated (4:05)
7 – Pleased To Meet You (4:24)

With their CD release getting near on October 7th plus their local Calgary album launch show on October 1st at Distortion, thrashers ILLYRIAN have posted an album preview for ‘Round 2: Fight!’ for fans at the following link:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSCc58hCHfI
The album was co-produced by the band with Casey Lewis at Echo Base Studios plus mastered by Sacha Laskow (Every Hour Kills, ex-Divinity) at Perfect Fifth Studios and is available for pre-order on iTunes, Amazon and Bandcamp.
Formed in 2011 under the name Hellborn Death Engines, the band is resurfacing under the new moniker ILLYRIAN with the recent additions of bassist / vocalist Jeff Perry (Sikarra, ex-Animus Labyrinth) plus British drum sensation Darren May (ex-Deacon Birch) who have brought new and progressive musical mindsets into the band to join original and founding members Scott Onofrychuk (guitars/vocals) and Brandon McNeil (guitar/vocals).
Evolving into a highly technical group playing thrash metal with their erratic and precise on-stage delivery, rapier wit, along with nostalgic charm, ILLYRIAN have removed the constraints of conventional metal sub-genre formula to replace their sound with a melting pot of technical thrash riffs, blistering solos, prog-influenced rhythms along with the band’s signature tri-vocal attack.

Album Length: 44:05
