0 Lods of Metal – RHINE – An Outsider

Let’s get descriptive with this review: the moment you put on this record you’re treated to beautifully melodic vocals and you wonder if you’re listening to a folk record. Then, not long after, vocalist Gabe Tachell unleashes an absolutely astonishing black metal scream and the music immediately shifts to a darker, black-ish vibe after which you think Rhine’s true nature has finally been shown

0 Lords of Metal – Van Halst – World of Make Believe

This band with Kami van Halst as their lead singer it is so much more than Evanescence is. Their music goes further, has more depth and is more dark than a band like Evanescence. – See more at: http://www.lordsofmetal.nl/en/reviews/view/id/31769#sthash.d0Q0ZhX3.dpuf

0 Kingdom of Noise – Bleed – The Hatred Inside

The Hatred Inside is a solid slab of mainstream metal suited for the masses that are content to throw back some brews and headbang until they can’t see straight. Going to far as to tear yourself apart as depicted on the cover is a stretch but the longer you listen the deeper it sinks its teeth in. And truth be told, some of those riffs are pretty fuckin’ killer.

About:

Brandish your weapons and bare your teeth in the battle for new world order with Montreal’s power metal quintet, Demise Of The Crown. They run the gambit from melodic power metal to hard rock weaved together with soaring solos reminiscent of Eddie Van Halen with undertones of Yngwie Malmsteen. The band’s sound has developed from progressive to a heavy metal band that has a pop format structure to the music in order to lure people into the realm of metal. Through many years of playing music with different people in the Montreal scene and slowly forming the official line up in 2014. Each member have spent their time paying dues in the local community and have banded together with the same goal and vision for a band determined to shake the foundation of power metal.

Guitarist, Manuel Iradian writes all the music, then handed off to Kevin “Kevy Metal” (drummer) to dress up each song with his high-speed, galloping rhythms, finally, Darren Beadman crafts the anthemic lyrics rousing crowds to chant along with an anarchistic frenzy. Each song is rooted in all basic human emotions; anger, lust, depression, happiness, death and revenge.

Influenced by headliners like Nevermore, Avenged Sevenfold, Opeth, Pantera, and Faith No More, the band is working their way up the royal blood line to cause chaos right alongside their heroes. They have performed with iconic bands like Hellyeah, Devin Townsend Project, 3 Inches Of Blood, Katatonia and Firewind. The band will be releasing their debut self titled full-length on March 4th, 2016 in all its hectic and melodic glory.
