From humble beginnings in 2012, Montreal, QC’s RED SKIES has come together to create a musical style of their own with nothing but their creativity to limit them. Unleashing their latest album 2015’s ‘Iron Sun’, the band is kicking off 2016 with the premiere of their music video ‘New Voice’ via SkullsNBones.com.

“The title for our song New Voice has several meanings. Not only is it our first non-animated visual representation of the music featured on our latest record, Iron Sun, it is also a metaphor for our band’s attempt to be heard in the seemingly saturated music industry of today. The video itself reflects upon a duality in the mind of an individual struggling with his desire to live in an unjust society. It can be interpreted in many ways, but this was the idea we were working with. The viewer will see two completely different situations playing out the main theme with an accompanying narrative. After a thorough, yet enjoyable process with our producer, Antoine Lussier (guitarist of Ion Dissonance) and the talented crew at Revox Media, we are pleased to be launching the music video for New Voice via SkullsNBones.com.” – Cody Dodds (Vocals)

About:

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.

0 Lords of Metal – Demise of The Crown – S/T

the alternation between clean and screamed vocals makes things just a little more interesting. Especially opener ‘We Are Invincible’ and the following ‘Human Denial’ are fierce songs that will surely appeal to fans of the older Iced Earth albums.

0 Lords of Metal – Divinity – The Immortalist, Part Two – Momentum

Sean Jenkins and Jeff Waite do the vocals and alternation is brought very convincing. In two of the four tracks, opener ‘Manhunt’ and closer ‘Momentum’, the emphasis is on intensity, blast beats, speed and aggression. The other two, ‘PsyWar’ and ‘DMT’ are leaning more towards melody. In ‘DMT’ it especially is present in the vocal part. Not surprising when you know that Björn ‘Speed’ Strid (Soilwork) has a guest part in it?

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.
