The Butterfly Effect is a fascinating and rousing encounter from a band settling into their creative skin and reaping the rewards.

0 Sentinel Daily – Demise of The Crown – S/T

  • March 10, 2016

  • · Demise of The Crown

Montreal metalheads Demise of the Crown would appear to be on the verge of something quite special if this seven track self-titled slab of metallic brilliance is anything to go by. At the heart of this promise lies the adamantine voice of vocalist Darren Beadman who, on the evidence provided, could well be at the forefront of the next generation of metal vocalists.

Vancouver, BC metal heavy weights THE MOUNTAIN MAN are streaming their second single ‘Open Graves’ from their upcoming EP ‘Bloodlust’ through Bravewords.

The song unravels the concept of believing in God and heaven concepts. ‘Open Graves’ talks about how the inevitable will consume all living things and we will end up as rotting corpses.

In addition to their new EP coming out March 25th (pre-order https://mountainmanmetal.bandcamp.com), the band has won the Broken Neck Radio People’s Choice Awards and will be performing at this year’s Armstrong Open Air Metal Festival. The Mountain Man has the chance to play at this year’s festival in Armstrong, BC.

“We’re really excited to be voted on Armstrong Metal Festival. It was a personal goal the band play Armstrong this year, and we couldn’t have done it without all the fan support. Camping and music – what better way to spend a weekend.” – Parker, Vocals

About:

Vancouver’s rugged outdoors-metallers, The Mountain Man, deliver a diverse blend of hard-hitting music, paying homage to the Sasquatch through crushing riffs and blaring drums. This band is all Canadian; celebrating camping, plaid, beer, and above all else energetic metal. Parker (ex-BRAUHEIST) gets straight to the point with his raw, gruff vocals and lyrics filled with animosity that cut through the instruments like an unyielding axe. Each song is like a hand-drawn map guiding fans through the British Columbian wilderness. While the first half is complete, the second half is up to the listener to build their own path and take what they will from each track.

The band developed their sound from listening to groups like The Black Dahlia Murder, Crowbar, Gojira, Lamb of God, and Black Sabbath, taking to heart the importance of dedicating their lives to their craft. Tevyn Pacey (Bass), Ryan McCreedy (Drums), Parker (Vocals), Tyson Tambellini (Rhythm Guitar), and Jordan Orr (Lead Guitar) are like woodsmen secluded from civilization with nothing but their instruments to craft doomy, yet frantic metal. They harness a variety of metal genres and bend them to their will.

The Mountain Man are releasing their debut EP Bloodlust on Friday, March 25, 2016. The five song EP is purposefully open ended so that listeners can interpret each song and find meaning for themselves. More information can be found at https://mountainmanmetal.bandcamp.com

About:

Taking influence from Europe’s music festival circuit, Armstrong Metal Fest is a heavy metal celebration that encourages metal heads from across Canada and the globe to mosh and camp with the backdrop of great outdoors of British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley. What started as a backyard party in 2009 with nothing but eleven local metal bands such as Terrifier, Xul and Odinfist to name a few, has grown into a a huge success admired by the Western Canadian Metal scene. 2016 will be the eighth year of the festival and is planned to be the largest year for music and attendance yet. This year’s team of organizers known as the West Metal Entertainment Society is the most dedicated to date and are excited to present an incredible line up along with some changes to come for AMF 2016. Previous years of the festival have seen line ups with Cattle Decapitation, Suffocation, Anciients, Bison BC, Striker, Crimson Shadows, Holy Grail, Archspire, Cryptopsy, Unleash The Archers, Divinity, Into Eternity, Ninjaspy, Vesperia, XUL, Odinfist, Death Toll Rising, Gomorrah among many others .

0 Made in Metal – Demise of The Crown – S/T

  • March 9, 2016
  • by Asher
  • · Demise of The Crown

La voz de Darren Beadman se parece mucho a la de Tim Ripper Owen o a la de Warrel Dane de Nevermore. Mientras que los solos de guitarra son una mezcla entre Eddie Van Halen e Yngwie Malmsteen. “Save Me” tiene esa fuerza épica, doblando las voces con una más calmada y otra gritando directamente.

0 Metal Nation Radio – Demise of The Crown – S/T

  • March 9, 2016
  • by Asher
  • · Demise of The Crown

a beautiful heavy metal album / EP, mashed with occasional death metal and thrash elements. What is immediately striking is the vocal performance. Lead singer Beadmandelivers an old school scream/clean performance reminiscent of the style of Rob Halford. Actually, his performance reminded me of Dirk Thurisch’s on Bleed (Angel Dust) with a classical 80s and early 90s thrash metal/heavy metal vocal mixture. His performance is accompanied by perfect instrumental support, pumping drums and guitars full of tricks and melodies. A true diamond in the rough. I would even take the risk and say this would be the disc I would’ve liked to hear from Angel Dust after Bleed.
