Unleashing their debut concept album ‘The Frozen Moon of Erebath’ on October 14th, atmospheric black metal contingent CELL have joined forces withNoCleanSinging.com for the premiere of their first single ‘Erasing The Plane of Existence’ at the following link: http://www.nocleansinging.com/2016/08/30/an-ncs-premiere-cell-erasing-the-plane-of-existence/
CELL is a band purveying their own unique brand of cosmic black metal with pile-driving drumming, flavored with hints of doom and sludge metal, but always with that unique black metal atmosphere, inspired by the cosmos, and darker than any black hole, drawing all light into itself and spewing out darkness.
Their concept album ‘’The Frozen Moon of Erebath’ takes place in a different galaxy to our own.
“In this galaxy there are many intelligent beings that have been driven to extinction by their own hands.” says vocalist / guitarist Hyperion. “Greed, hate, lust, and power are some of the many feelings that have destroyed them over time. On the frozen moon of Erebath there is a race of beings who destroyed their own planet and relocated to their moon to perform experiments and create more hybrids of themselves that can further their goal to conquer the galaxy.”
CELL came into creation in the late fall of 2014 at the hands of guitarist and vocalist Hyperion and drummer Void in Winnipeg, Manitoba. After jamming as a two-piece for a few months, bassist Deimos joined the nucleus of Cell, and this unique black metal organism was ready to infect the world, for a strong concept divides and multiplies like an invading organism infecting more and more fans in their turn…The Cell infection/invasion begins here!
Feeding off the crowd’s energy, Cell lives to bring their unique cosmic black metal to the stage…to show and guide their fans to what reigns above them, the universe in all its cold splendor and glory!
Their top five influences are Inquisition, Tsjuder, Immortal, Death and 1349 but CELL very much bring their own vision to the table, after all, if you want to see far, you stand on the shoulders of giants…and CELL’s vision reaches to the very edge of the universe.

Prog Metal TACTUS Posts ‘Bending Light’ Album Teaser; Due Out October 7th

L-R: Tactus Current Lineup | Steve Parish (bass) | Ben MacLean (drums) | Jason McKnight (vocals) | Alec Dobbelsteyn (guitar) | Adrian Barnes (guitar & vocals)
Fredericton, New Brunswick five piece progressive metal band TACTUS have posted a new teaser for their upcoming debut full length ‘Bending Light’ due out on October 7th. The album features ten outer limit prog tracks produced by the band with mixing and mastering by Jamie King (Between The Buried In Me, Paradise Lost, Scale The Summit) to follow their previously released EPs ‘ins(T)rumental’ (2015) and ‘T’ (2014) plus singles ‘Enigma’ and their metal cover of The Police’s ‘Roxanne’.
To hear the teaser, please visit the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVfVbFSfDoM
Formed in 2011 as a jam project by three fellow music students, the group has gone on to release several singles and EPs independently, while having the opportunity to share the stage with great metal acts like Protest the Hero, Intervals, Black Crown Initiate, and Mandroid Echostar. The group pride themselves on their infusion of multiple musical styles into hard-hitting riffs, epic choruses, and technically intense passages. Soaring melodies, guttural growls, and destructive breakdowns flow into soft, slow, and pensive segments of jazz and rock. Their compositional method, where songs are conceived, written, transcribed, and edited before they are ever learned or rehearsed, adds a level of refinement and fluidity not always found in heavier music. The band do almost all of their engineering work themselves, but have also worked with several talented producers. Their first EP T (June 2014), comprised of four previously released singles and one new song, featured the mixing and mastering handiwork of Gino Bambino (Novallo) and Justin Hill (SikTh). Their single Resurface (December 2014) was handled by George Lever (Burials).

L-R: Scott Onofrychuk (Guitar/Vocals) | Jeff Perry (Bass/Vocals) | Brandon McNeil (Guitar/Vocals) | Darren May (Drums)Originally formed in 2011, the Calgary thrashers formerly known as Hellborn Death Engines are beginning their resurgence under the new moniker ILLYRIANwith 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 all showcased on ten new thrashing tracks on their new album ‘Round 2: Fight!’. The album is set to be unleashed on October 7th and 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.

Has the late Ronnie James Dio possessed Chilliwack, BC’s heavy metal unit,Medevil? It kinda sounds like it on the newly released track “Machination Factory.”
http://www.yellmagazine.com/medevil-classic-sound-thats-reminiscent-dio/110625/
“Perfectly situated to please fans of classic heavy metal, Conductor Of Storms is very strong debut from the young Medevil.”
http://www.themonolith.com/music/review-medevil-conductor-of-storms/
Conductor of Storms is a full-length debut that reaches back into a host of old school influences, straddling parameters that live up to the ideals of the genre while not necessarily seeking out commercialism or current trends.
