Adrenechrome throw a bit of everything and the kitchen sink into their album Tales Of The Adrenechrome, and if anything could be said about this release it’s that it is certainly interesting…To put it simply, these guys are masterful songwriters and would probably make a killing doing more straightforward music, but instead they’re gracing us with their spastic talents and we are all the more blessed for it.

“The aforementioned lead guitar is actually amazing. If you are a person who likes shredding, I highly recommend this album. Seriously, the solos are fucking cool! […] the vocalist is fantastic. Just saying.” – Mind The Music T.O. (2015)
“Thematically, these guys have also aced their game. They know how to blend music and presentation to a tee, almost developing a narrative around what they do. When it all comes together, it makes for a brilliant experience. All of this is evinced in full on the Red Skies debut album “Iron Sun”. […] This album isn’t merely music – it’s a venture for the ears worth taking.” – The Circle Pit (2015)
“[…] I have been waiting for something like this to come out for a while now. […] All nine songs are original and deserve a listen. Personally, [I think] other metalcore bands should listen to this and take notes.” – Montreal Rampage (2015)

The end of a time and the beginnings of something greater; that is what Red Skies stands for and what its name means to the band members that make up its sound.
From humble beginnings in 2012, the group came together to create a musical style of their own with nothing but their creativity to limit them. Fast, catchy and heavy, their E.P. Identitas (2013) stands as a testament to their reputation as a staple of the Montreal music scene. In the short amount of time the band has been around, they already had the chance to share the stage with many established acts, including: Architects, Enter Shikari, The Acacia Strain, Stray From the Path, Volumes, Being as an Ocean, My Ticket Home, Amity Affliction, For the Fallen Dreams, Obey the Brave, Heartist, Smash Hit Combo, Your Memorial, The Plot in You, The Contortionist, Counterparts, Fit For An Autopsy, Intervals and many more.
In 2014, their hard work was recognized by a large panel of judges coming from all corners of the music industry (Evenko, Extensive Enterprises, The Gazette, Asher Media Relations, etc.) at the “En Route Vers Heavy MTL” contest, during which the band made it all the way to the finals at Virgin Mobile Corona Theatre, under overwhelming participation from the crowd and positive feedback from the judges.
Red Skies continues to push the limits of their identity and sound, striving to create a place for their art and a name for themselves. Their debut record “Iron Sun” (10/13/15) has already received many critical acclaims and keeps doing so as the band spreads their fresh new sound to the masses.

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 .

a solid piece of blackened death metal fury that will satisfy all but the kvltist of arseholes!
https://thoseonceloyal.wordpress.com/2016/02/10/review-haiduk-demonicon/
Incantations Through The Gates of Irkalla is a killer record.
Striker
“On peut sentir la transpiration venant du métal épique comme Helloween, Iron Maiden et Judas Priest. C’est de la haute voltige musicale, une voix puissante bien appuyée par un autre contingent vocal surfin et une section rythmique carabinée.”
Silent Line
“Pimpant et entrainant”
Tales of The Tomb
“Sur ce premier mini-album, ce groupe d’Edmonton nous propose un death métal à la sauce moderne qui carbure aux films d’horreur contenant de l’écrapou!”
Adrenechrome
“Si Revocation décidait de lancer un projet de stoner rock en parallèle, il y a de fortes chances que cela puisse sonner comme Adrenechrome. Variée, la musique qu’offre cette formation ontarienne se veut pimpante tout en étant complexe….Intéressant et très frais comme sonorité!”
Vantablack Warship
“Vantablack Warship explore surtout les confins les plus abrupts du métal et des autres sous-genres. L’exercice se veut inutile face aux comparaisons avec les formations originales avec qui les musiciens sévissent ou ont sévi autrefois, étant donné que ce qui est produit ici se veut bien original. Parfois hardcore avec The Pit, acidulé comme le thrash sur You’ll Burn for This, lourd comme le stoner le plus huileux sur Fucked Machine ou punké dans leur métal sur The 99%, les Montréalais maitrisent à merveille leur produit, question de bien nous l’enfoncer dans la gorge! Efficace, très efficace!”

this is Seattle-based Rhine‘s sophomore release, and it’s pretty obvious that they had an absolute ball writing this, as it sounds like an interesting blend of Opeth, Between The Buried And Me, a touch of doom and more than a taste of symphonic metal.
