About:

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 upcoming album ‘Tales From Adrenechrome’ is due out on 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. This album is reserved for only those who can handle the high velocity heavy metal adventure that is Adrenechrome!

‘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.

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.

“We’re so excited about having our music, our ideas, and our future in our own hands – ushering in a new era for the band of decisive action, dedication and forward thinking. Live life by one rule: No Limits!” – Tim Brown

TEST YOUR METAL RECORDS: EVILHEART Announce New Vocalist Adam “Greasy” Benito (Train Bigger Monkeys)

New Album Out ‘Quinquaginta’

 Vancouver, BC based Test Your Metal Records band Mexican blackened death metallers Evilheart announce new vocalist Adam ‘Greasy’ Benito of Calgary’s Train Bigger Monkeys to be appointed as the band’s new vocalist.

The band comments:

“After 11 years working together, Evilheart & singer Jorge Millán have decided to part ways. The split was amicable and we wish Jorge the best in all of his future endeavors. Jorge’s replacement will be none other than Adam “Greasy” Benito (from Calgary’s Train Bigger Monkeys) who took over the vocal duties during our Canadian Tour as session singer. He did a killer job during the tour and we are very stoked about having him as a permanent member!!!

Also, session bassist David Barraza, who joined us earlier this year, will no longer be a part of the Evilheart live lineup. We also wish him all the best. In the coming days we will start auditioning bassists, as well guitarists to add a double guitar attack back in the line up.

We will publish soon more info about the requirements for those interested in auditioning on our facebook” – Evilheart

Evilheart was formed in 1999 in Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexico. On July 13, 2001 the band released its first demo “Summoned To War.” In 2003 after major lineup changes the band recorded its first album “Dark In Glory” which was released on May 3, 2004. In the next few years Evilheart shared the stage with international acts like Dimmu Borgir, Amon Amarth, Deicide, Malevolent Creation, Asesino, Cellador, Behemoth and Sothis, as well with recognized Mexican bands like Hacavitz, Sarcoma, Solitude, Black Torment, and Disgorge.

In 2007 after some lineup changes the band recorded it second album “Storm Of Annihilation” which was mixed and mastered at Mana Studios in Florida, USA by Brian Elliott and the cover of the album was designed by Niklas Sundin. The album was released on December 14. During the support of “Storm Of Annihilation,” Evilheart shared the stage with international acts like Behemoth, Cage, Hypocrisy and Havok, as well with recognized Mexican bands like Evil Entourage, Here Comes The Kraken, Piraña, The Forensic, Alfa Eridano Akhernar, Rapture and Orcus O Dis. Also the band released its first video “Storm Of Annihilation,” recorded the song “Severance” for the tribute album “The Gloomy Rites To The Cenotaph” to the legendary Mexican band Cenotaph and did its first European Tour which included Germany, Slovakia and Czech Republic in March 2011.

In 2012 Evilheart started to record its third album “Quinquaginta” (Latin for “Fifty”) which was once again mixed and mastered at Mana Studios in Florida, USA by Brian Elliott and the cover of the album  designed by Niklas Sundin. After a lot of problems and setbacks the album was released on October 17, 2014, and was preceded by the release of the video “Selective Extermination.” The touring cycle for “Quinquaginta” started on December 6 with a special show, with Mexican band Zombiefication, in which the band performed the new album on its entirety. Evilheart is currently preparing a video for the song “Postmortal Corruption” and looking to play as much shows as possible abroad.

     Coming off their support slot in Winnipeg last week for ‘The Infernus Tour’ featuring Hate Eternal, Misery Index, Beyond Creation and Rivers of Nihil, tech death metal architects INVERTED SERENITY are offering fans a FREEdownload of their track ‘Elemental Abyss’ from their new album ‘Integral’ released last month on October 9th.

The band comments on the track:

“Perhaps our most mature and technically structured songwriting on the record can be found in Elemental Abyss. This song comes out of the gate with a full speed technical thrash pace that unfolds itself into larger layered riffs all while maintaining a mid-paced headbanging groove underlying the majority of the song. Heavy and polyrhythmic riffs are explored akin to the sounds of bands like Decapitated and Meshuggah. A 7/4 time signature is played while Marcos vocals push the thickeness of the song along. The track is also outro to the album and has the hugest sounding melodies we have built upon in the history of our band. Tomas’ massive sounding screams lead you into the auditory abyss we specifically placed as the final stretch of the album. The themes explored lyrically are tied into the unknowing of our oceans on Earth, which can be paralleled to the unknowing of the depths of our emotions inside of us. While we are immersed in this material world structured by the elements, through discernment and letting go of the weight of physical reality, we are immersed in the fractal nature of reality and its infinite depth.”

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.

Track Listing – Inverted Serenity – Integral

1. Yugen (5:09)

2. Everscending (5:44)

3. Grasp of Impermanence (4:24)

4. Coeur (4:47)

5. Integral (5:14)

6. Under One Sky (4:39)

7. Breath of Life (7:16)

8. Volatile Thirst (3:10)

9. Wrought (Rot) (4:51)
