About the album:

“Moving Monoliths” is a crushing feat that has been labored over for quite some time. By digging deeply inward, the songwriting core of this band has dredged the mournful depths of the self to unveil a unique glimpse into the human condition, for all its faults, heartbreak and despair. The results are impressive as Wilt skillfully unveils a wide range of emotion and atmosphere on these 4 lengthy tracks to effortlessly entwine the creative forces of black and doom metal to call their own. A fierce live entity in their own right, Wilt has broken the “studio project” mold to bring this quintet’s jarring sound and fire to the masses as they are soon to embark on a Canadian Tour.

Track Listing: WILT – Moving Monoliths

1. Illusion of Hope (11:46)

2. Moving Monoliths (13:08)

3. The Elder (13:09)

4. Solitude (2:05)

Album Length: 40:08

About the band:

Wilt was formed by Brett Goodchild and Jordan Dorge in 2010 with the original intention of creating a black metal studio project. After the reception of the Self Titled debut in Oct 2012 surpassed all expectations, and gained some serious international attention, the duo decided to make Wilt a full time project and assemble a live lineup. Wilt has done a bunch of Canadian tours, played many festivals such as Noctis Metalfest 666 where they shared the stage alongside blasphemy, carcass, bolzer, candlemass, possessed to name a few. In 2014 wilt decided to break the mold of the 2 piece studio/live lineup band and continue as a full band where all 5 members involved will contribute to the sophomore effort. Early 2015 Wilt signed with Bindrune recordings and will be releasing the bands sophomore effort ‘Moving Monoliths’ in Sept/Oct. Taking their unique brand of cold atmospheric black metal into new progressive and even unexpected domains. “Moving Monoliths” was once again self produced by Goodchild himself in Saxon Sound Studios, and the beautiful gatefold cover art was done by renowned artist Nick Keller.

OUT NOW! ADRENECHROME Unleash Their ‘Tales From Adrenechrome’

L-R – Matt Copeland – Drums | Tim Kehoe – Guitar | Mike Van Dyk – Bass | Chris Friesen – Guitar /Vocals (photo credit Dave Saunders)

Orillia, ON’s Adrenechrome are hurtling forward like zombies with a hunger for flesh looking to create good old-fashioned rock n’ roll infused with groove and peppered with metal. The group features Chris Friesen dominating on guitar and lead vocals, Tim Kehoe who shreds guitar and haunting vocal work, Matt Copeland thrashing the drums, and Mike Van Dyk creating groovy basslines. Their name inspires a frantic, adrenaline fueled misadventure and is a direct reference to a fictional drug in the film “Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas”.

These heavy metal monsters started in 2010 and rode like the four horsemen to devour every audience they could around Canada. Their songwriting swings like an unhinged pendulum between rapid, brief works to heavy, ten-tonne brick tunes. Members are veterans of the music scene, coming from various acts like Gaswitch, Shimmy Rabbits, and The Doug Trucker Band. Live, the band is tight and strictly a “no frills” affair — this means no make up or gimmicks, just straight-forward, kick-ass metal.

The band’s new album ‘Tales From Adrenechrome’ is now officially out as of November 27, 2015 to follow up their 2012 debut ‘Hideous Appetites’ and is their most abstract, spastic, and explosive release to date. This album is established on heavy riffs, roaring drums, smooth bass lines, and wrapped up with lyrical themes that combine personal experience with fantasy, sci fi, and classic literature plus its epic album artwork by graphic artist Clöwnbäbÿ. This album is reserved for only those who can handle the high velocity heavy metal adventure that is Adrenechrome! Picture a hypothetical bastard child of Mastodon and Baroness!

“We are beyond pleased with the warm response “Tales From Adrenechrome” has received and we hope everyone finds it as “fun” a record to listen to, as we found it was to make 🙂 much love all see you out on the road. The chrome boys.” comments vocalist/ guitarist Chris Friesen.

Winnipeg, MB, tech death metal architects INVERTED SERENITY have posted a new live video performing their track ‘Grasp of Impermanence’, which is off their new album ‘Integral’ released last month on October 9th. The video was filmed during the band’s set at The Zoo in Winnipeg on October 30th.

Watch the video at the following link:

About:

INVERTED SERENITY unleashed their latest creation ‘Integral’ on October 9th to follow up to their 2013 debut album ‘Manifestation of Eternity in a World of Time”. ‘Integral’ is a gateway into the infinite fractal nature of the minds of Drew (Parasitism) on guitar, backing vocals, Ben (Moira) on drums, backing vocals, Tom on bass, lead vocals, and Marco on guitar. Topics are inspired from works of many psychonaughts akin to Carl Jung, involving transcendental, philosophies, global tribe mentality, the impermanence of the physical world, and alchemy. Their riffs range from atmospheric black-metal grooves, old-school inspired death metal passages, thrash riffs, progressive technical journeys, and everything in between for an extremely energetic onslaught of sounds.
