0 Angry Metal Guy – Demise of The Crown – S/T

  • March 24, 2016
  • by Asher
  • · Demise of The Crown

Loaded up and fired up, “We Are Invincible” gets Demise of the Crown rolling with some rocking guitar licks that give-way to some choo-choo chugging. With Ripper Owens-esque prowess, the verses have an air of melody and the subtle harshness in Darren Beadman’s voice make for a perfect setup to the eye-closing, toe-tapping chorus. Unashamedly, this song ends up on repeat quite often.

ACCURSED SPAWN Release Fretless Bass Playthrough Video

    Ottawa, ON based ACCURSED SPAWN has posted a fretless bass playthrough video for their song ‘Clotheshanger Abortion’, taken from the 2014 EP ‘Putrid’. The video was filmed and edited by Brittany Dawn Kreatives.

 

“We figured it was about time to show people what Wei has added to the Accursed Spawn sound. To say the least, his hands flying around the fretless has caught a lot of people’s attention since he joined about a year ago. Hopefully this will give fans a sense of what they can expect when we record our debut full-length later this year.” – Jay Cross (drums)

Bio: Accursed Spawn was formed in Ottawa in 2010 with one mission: turn raw aggression into music. The band mixes influences from old and new forms of extreme metal, resulting to date in a renown energetic live show, and a handful of recorded songs.

The band’s most recent release, 2014’s Putrid, shows another step in the Accursed Spawn’s ability to hone in on their chops and assault listeners with a wall of pounding drums, thundering vocals and wailing guitars.

The Mountain Man review on Ringmaster review

RingMaster Review's avatarThe RingMaster Review

TMM_RingMasterReview

Like brawling with a bear, the Bloodlust EP leaves concussive destruction and raw mayhem in its wake. It relentlessly ravages and crushes with five tracks of metal ferocity but like an unbridled storm it also leaves the senses energised and hungry for more. The release is the debut assault from Canadian band The Mountain Man; an introduction to a new primal force with potential swinging from every mighty rhythmic blow and sonic tirade.

Hailing from Vancouver,  The Mountain Man draws on inspirations from the likes of The Black Dahlia Murder, Crowbar, Gojira, Lamb of God, and Black Sabbath for their ravenous sound. They are essences easily heard within the band’s first encounter but no more so than the band’s own distinctive and carnivorous imagination and raging intensity. Since forming, the band has earned a potent reputation for a live presence which has seen them play with the likes of…

About:
The cloudy beginnings of VESPERIA lay etched in the gorged bodies of former musical projects among the now four-member band. Twisting, writhing and forcing their aural onslaught upon metal audiences across the globe have sincerely ensured the band’s continuity through all the harsh and arduous battles modern metal bands are bound to encounter in their tenures.
Established in 2012 by vocalist/ bassist Morgan Rider, the sound, direction and theme of the music quickly and naturally evolved into the style of fierce and heroic metal the band is now known and praised for.
Shortly after releasing their first full-length album Voyage from Vinland, VESPERIA redefined themselves and further focused their direction with the 2012 demo, The Swordsman. In 2013, the band independently funded and released their 2nd full-length album An Olden Tale, drawing the ears and attention of metal fans around the world and demonstrating their true mastery of their craft. During that same year, the band also independently funded and completed several Canadian tours to support the album.
Early 2015 saw the band enter the studio once again to record some demo material, which would become The Iron Tempests EP. During this time, the band toured Canada from coast to coast and also made an appearance at Wacken Open Air in Germany, where they won the title of 2015 International Wacken Battle Champions, a second time win for the band’s frontman, Morgan.
With their most fierce music written to date and a bounty of opportunity awaiting, VESPERIA continue to hungrily eye 2015 as the year they will make their mark upon the Earth.
