About the album:

‘Stand In The Fire’ is STRIKER‘s most uncompromising record to date. A record packed with incredible riffs and colossal anthems, all laced together with epic harmonies. Inspired by legendary bands like Iron Maiden, Striker wears their hearts firmly on their battle jackets, soaking up the power and influence of classic rock and metal.

The band; Dan Clearly (vocals) Tim Brown (lead/rhythm guitars) William Wallace (bass) Adam Brown (drums) recorded the album themselves with the help of Randy Black (who filled in on drums while Adam was away…) and mixing genius Frederik Nordstrom (Bring Me The Horizon, In Flames, Opeth) giving them not only the time and space needed but the freedom to set up the release direct to fans worldwide.

‘Stand in The Fire’ available on limited edition orange vinyls at Striker-Metal.com plus digitally on iTunes, CD Baby.

RAPHEUMETS WELL Streaming New Track ‘Planetary Cenotaph’ via MetalNationRadio

Sign w/ Test Your Metal Records For New Album ‘The Exile’ Due Out March 18th

The Exile – Promo Video – Watch here.

Blending a sound that is a complex mix of classical orchestrations, cosmic synths, and extreme metal to portray the epics of parallel worlds, Hickory, N.C. based RAPHEUMETS WELL (Ra-few-mets) bring forth a voyage enriched with lore, fabricated from scratch to show the depth in which represents them as artists.

Formed in 2008, 2011 and 2012 saw their first two demos followed by their first self release full length ‘Dimensions’ unleashed in 2014 that progressively told a larger story portrayed in a complex saga of Atai (ancient architects) who aid in the propagation of sentient life throughout the multi-verse.

From the birth of organic matter to great wars that tear the fabric of space/time, the story of RAPHEUMETS WELL‘s music serves to immerse you into a world of oddities, which is now continued in the band’s sophomore release ‘The Exile’ due out on March 18th, 2016 via Test Your Metal Records.

With their upcoming release, RAPHEUMETS WELL have teamed up with MetalNationRadio for the premiere of their second single ‘Planetary Cenotaph’, which can be heard at the following link: http://metalnationradio.ca/exclusive-premiere-rapheumets-well-streaming-new-track-planetary-cenotaph-via-metal-nation-radio/

Drummer Joshua Ward comments on the single:

“Planetary Cenotaph, being the last song on the album, was a bit “challenging” for us in terms of composition as we write the music to the story. The main character just destroyed an entire planet. Due to his immortal “curse” he is floating in the stellar remnants of his home-world. While his body is reforming and he is adrift he has a lot of time to think. His wife wife and kids were murdered, his empire betrayed him, he was tortured, he has seen some very wild stuff. He is processing the events in a very numb and displaced way. The emotions of the song actually came from the deaths of family members of the band recently. In the last two years we lost four parents and a grandparent, all within months of each other. So, this became a memorial song to them while keeping to the context of the story. What better way for us to honor someone than to write a metal song!”

Album Pre-Order available on CD here and digital here.

2. The Blight of Sotath Shal (3:53)

About:

Inspired by the fictitious universe of Sovael, RAPHEUMETS WELL is the name coined to the conscious deity who oversees the anastomosis of the multiverse, the master of portals and inter-dimensional travel. Being personified as a trickster, Rapheumet often creates chaos for unsuspecting voyagers. The word “Well” refers to the gravity wells, which like black holes, are catalyst of change and gateways between the cosmic plains.

“We created this name in hopes of personifying a living gateway between dimensions. We love science fiction and a few of us have extended education and degrees in science.” says drummer Joshua Ward.

Live the band’s concert theatrics is a show truly to entertain the crowd with an opus of metal while still satisfying their story lines in their music creating an intimate but relatable ambiance for fans, especially those who enjoy bands such as Dimmu Borgir, Fleshgod Apocalypse, The Faceless, Emperor, Black Crown Initiate.

Το “Winter’s Doom” ήταν από τους πιο ευχάριστους δίσκους με διαφορετικό αέρα, που άκουσα από μια, όχι διάσημη, μπάντα. Φαίνεται πως ο χειμώνας του Καναδά τους φάνηκε χρήσιμος! Ένας αξιόλογος δίσκος συνολικά, με ευκολία ακρόασης από κάθε φίλο του heavy metal.

Montreal Industrial Monsters PROJEKT F Unleash New Single ‘Tongue’

New EP ‘The Butterfly Effect’ Out March 4th

Perfecting their industrial brand of rock/metal, PROJEKT F bring the heat on their loudest release to date with ‘The Butterfly Effect’ that discusses the torrid relationship between man and God. The EP is a continuation of their thematic discography ‘Skins’ (2013) and ‘Under The Skin’ (2014) and features their latest single ‘Tongue’, which is now streaming at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDZ8kDSbneM along with the release being available via iTunes, Friday, March 4th plus supported by a mini-tour of Quebec and Ontario performing the following dates below.

The band comments on the release:

“The concept of ”The Butterfly Effect” is based on Chaos Theory and how can things be and yet not be. Each song on the EP is the same song, but written at different moments, situations, and unfolding in various ways. Our single, “Tongue” is man talking to God, desiring forgiveness, and cutting off his own tongue in order to unite with and be one with God’s voice. Living in this folly, forming an endless loop of self-mutilation, each of the songs represents a different version of his destruction.”

‘The Butterfly Effect’ EP Tour Dates:

March 4 – Montreal, QC @ Foufounes Electriques

March 5 – Quebec City, QC @ La Source De La Martiniere

March 11 – Toronto, ON @ Nocturne

March 13 – Ottawa, ON @ Mavericks

About:

Projekt F was founded in 2006 by Jonh M. Miller, lead singer and main composer of the band. Inspired by rock/industrial/metal music of the 90’s, Projekt F quickly made a name for themselves in the underground music scene of Montreal. Miller was joined by William Hicks (bass) in 2010, Simon Sayz (guitar) in 2013, and Fred Linx (drums) in 2014.

Their first EP named “0000” saw the light of day in 2009 with 500 physical copies made by the band being sold out in no time, and more than 1000 digital copies downloaded. Continuing to evolve in the Montreal Industrial scene, the band accumulated a large number of shows across the Province of Quebec and Ontario with their musical originality and their intensity on stage. In 2012, the band was invited to play alongside Combichrist at the biggest industrial music festival in Canada, Kinetik Festival. During the last few years they have shared the stage with international bands such as Motionless In White, Revolting Cocks, Angelspit, Nachtmar, Left Spine Down, Slaves on Dope, New Years Day, For Today and Ice Nine Kills.

Projekt F has also had the opportunity to do a performance of their song “Room 13” in a TV pilot called “Cause and Effect” (produced by Vaas Media). Their song “Oophorectomy” is also featured in a short movie called “Purple Love” (produced by Les films de la meute), featured at the 2013 Cannes Festival.

Taking a darker and more personal musical road, Projekt F launched their album “Skins” in 2013 and 2014’s EP “Under The Skin”, which is now followed by their newest EP, “The Butterfly Effect” set for release on March 4, 2016. It is said to be a direct sequel to their previous conceptual effort ”Skins”.
