BORNBROKEN Post New Track ‘A Nation of Ignorance’ Protesting Canada’s Federal Election; Announce New Vocalist Pepe Poliquin (ex-Endast)
‘A Nation of Ignorance’ – http://bornbroken.bandcamp.com/track/a-nation-of-ignorance
Montreal’s death thrashcore rippers BORNBROKEN have added new vocalist Pepe Poliquin (ex-Endast) to their line up and have just unleashed a new whopper of a tune featuring Peloquin entitled ‘A Nation of Ignorance’ for metal heads gearing up to vote in Canada’s federal election this week.
Guitarist Mike Decker comments:
“Doesn’t it seem that there are more lies exposed then truths being revealed and are we are letting it happen right before our eyes? Our latest single talks about a nation of ignorance we elected into power, that conceals everything behind a cloak of secrecy, conspiracy and silence. Well it’s time we expose the incompetence, stop the confusion before it all turns into chaos. The best way to protest and raise your voice is by voting. Make yourself heard and not be one of the forgotten.
We also like to add, we like to welcome into the band Pepe Poliquin (ex-Endast) on vocals. Pepe stepped down from playing guitar (for health reasons) and has given everything he’s got to be the voice for BornBroken. We also like to thank everyone who hung out along for the ride since our debut album “The Healing Powers of Hate”. It’s been a long a bumpy road, since our last single “Watch the World Unwind”, with lots of curves and dead ends, but we always seem to pull through. In the immortal words of Mike Muir (Suicidal Tendencies) “You Cant Bring Me Down!.”
Its time to hear the cry once more, and feel the rise again! The battle hasn’t just begun and it will never be over, unless we raise our voices together as one.
Keep in touch and most of all keep it real.”
About the band:
BornBroken are a Montreal-based metal band uniting the world through their unique take on explosive death/thrashcore. The band is three parts vocals with Pepe Waitforit Poliquin as the lead singer and Mike Decker and Simon Savard performing double-duty on guitar and vocals, one part low-end bass crafted by Tommy Vaillancourt, and one hundred percent integrity.
BornBroken is the sound of the beaten and the fallen overcoming their outlook of a blackened tomorrow through the medium of aggressive, galloping metal. Lyrically, the focus remains on taking sorrow and anger and rising up from the ashes to rebuild and heal a new world from one that’s crumbling down around us now. Lyrics have had a very personal connection for the band since their beginnings in 2008. Much of the band cut their teeth playing in local groups like Endast, Burn Unit, Dilute the Poison and Mort au Combat.
Contrary to their raw, aggressive music they are incredibly passionate about truth, integrity, perseverance, loyalty, and faith in humanity’s struggle for equality, which is all exposed on their debut album ‘The Healing Powers Of Hate’ released in 2013. The album was nominated for Metal Album of The Year at the 2014 GAMIQ Awards (Gala Alternatif de la Musique Indépendante du Québec), fan voted as Album of The Week (June 10th, 2013) on Revolver Magazine, along with debuting #8 on Canadian College Loud Charts, plus was named one of the best unsigned Heavy Metal Bands for June 2013 by Drago’s Dungeon on About.com – Heavy Metal. The band is planning a heavy follow up for 2016 and after months of writing and hours spent in the studio, BornBroken has managed to take every emotion they felt, put it to music, build off of past battle scars, and create a record where listeners will feel they are part of the story line. The band continues to create grinding, heavy music inspired by the likes of Hatebreed and Sepultura. Get ready to experience the monumental shift when the broken shall finally rise.

With a band name intentionally written with enclosed brackets to signify the trappings of modern life for all of us and how people, despite their best attempts to break out of the mold are still affixed to a simple controlled existence and futility. Montreal five piece [EVERTRAPPED] are delivering relentless brutal melodic death metal in their third studio album ‘Under The Deep’ available now as ofOctober 16th via Hellstorm Recordz to follow 2012’s ‘Anomaly’ and 2010’s debut ‘Tales From The Supermax’.
Vocalist James Brookes comments on the album:
“‘Under The Deep is an exploration of the deepest reaches of human madness. Not clinical madness, but simply the darkest regions of the soul and the blackest part of the human heart from a mind found to be socially functional, but is really way too far gone. And thus it seeks to explore what is underneath the deepest depth, hence no matter how deep you descend there’s always another layer that can be torn away.”

Track by track explained by Evertrapped.
Tracks:
- […] intro
- Arise From The Ashes: A depiction of someone who has actually reached the bottom, so their rise from there so to speak. Like the king of their own universe broken by all clawing it’s back but fueled by an ever consuming hatred.
- Underneath The Deep: A personal look at how a person can only be fucked up by someone else for too long until they break. But this takes you to a point where you now can’t come back.
- Palace Of Injustice: A stab at anyone blinded by the indoctrination of any institution and their ultimate demise that likely follows due to their ignorance towards it. However, it does aim more at the disgust of the institutions themselves and not so much the ignorance of the people.
- Hypnotized By Hatred: Another personal reflection, but in this case more a person who has been made to believe that all they do is wrong. So it brings up the sense where if you tell someone enough times that they are shit, then eventually they will just believe it. And in this case someone who becomes a very dark god loathing individual because it takes them to a point where they think it’s hysterical.
- Blood Of The Fallen: This is set in a horror like context although it not some zombie tribute. It simply laughs at how we place so much importance on the memory of the dead yet never bat an eye at the reality of human suffering which we ourselves cause.
- Lethal District: Somewhat of a post apocalyptic view of the surviving factions of humanity that instill themselves as the powers that be, and thus cast out the unclean, unworthy, and so forth. And therefore it sheds light on the madness and revolt of the unwanted.
- Burning Through Vengeance: This is a straight up rebel song. A certain arrogant fuck you to a society that rejects you, but you still know that you know better than them. So instead you’ll bide your time and watch them hilariously screw themselves over.
- Reaper: As the title suggests, an end of the line type song. In a certain way captures the essence of[EVERTRAPPED] in terms of the inescapable event that is death.
- Embrace The End: This also goes more or less as the title suggests. This is another song for the apocalypse but more at the actual hour of the end itself. A look at almost coming to terms with the fact that it was likely the fault of humanity and embracing the acceptance of such evil.

About:
Members of [EVERTRAPPED] bring together their collective experience from the Montreal metal scene to create their heavy brand of death metal. The guitarists Frederick Dupuis (ex-Daggerfalls) and Vincent Benoit hammer out raw guitar while drummer Eric Lemire (ex-Apocalypsys, ex-Ice Castle) pummels the drums. Their versatile frontman James Brookes (ex-Ammonia, ex-One Final Moment, Continuum) easily alternates between strong clear vocals and low bellowing screams giving listeners the illusion of more than one vocalist. John Yates (ex-AraPacis) weaves together each song with his driving bass lines to keep the punishing tracks energy at an all time high.
Lyrics are intentionally slightly abstract to lure fans to draw their own conclusions despite a perceived understanding of the tracks. Themes for the music revolve around personal turmoil and even stringing together the image of a future where the world is on the brink of an apocalypse.
The band’s influences range from Death Metal to Melodic Death primarily, along with some classic thrash and speed metal, which explains their technicality and diversity sonically. Live, the band is a whirlwind of aggression and sonically abrasive, yet sporadically melodic vocally and instrumentally.

“those looking for melodic death metal on the heavier end of the spectrum need apply here. The second that you hear the opening chords of “Arise from the Ashes,” you’ll know exactly what [Evertrapped] is going for… a testament to some solid writing chops, particularly in the very traveled waters that the band is catering to. Those looking to sample a few tracks should check out the melodic leanings of “Lethal District” or ominous riffs of “Reaper.” – Dead Rhetoric
“After getting your socks blown off by the opener you only get a couple of seconds of rest before ‘Underneath the deep’ unleashes its fury at full force.” – Dutch Metal Maniac
“Listening to this one it feels like Lamb of God meets At The Gates or perhaps what I mean is this is what LoG would sound like as a melo-deth band. The musicianship is on par with any that you consider the best…Vocalist James Brookes has amazing pipes bouncing from cleans to death metal growls to slightly black metal screeches (not high pitched or I’d be OUT!)…Do yourself a favor and put this on your “To Buy” list, trust me you want this one!” – They Demons Be Scribblin
“[Evertrapped] excels at their craft with “Under the Deep” offering a full-fledged assault on the senses that is absolutelystone-cold BRUTAL! And between you and me friends such aggression and overt hostility is a welcome sight sound when all you want to do is check out of this crazy world for awhile and decompress!” – Heavy Metal Time Machine
“Tasty riffs and ditto drumming make this a great album to listen to…has everything what a good contemporary metal album should have and Evertrapped can look to the future with their heads held high and this album ‘Under The Deep’ will probably do well.” – Lords of Metal
“De suite on se rend compte d’une chose, c’est que leur musique cartonne.” – Metal France
“There really is A LOT of ‘talent’ within [EVERTRAPPED] “both” musically & behind the scenes appearing on ‘Under The Deep’!” – Metal Inifinity
“These guys are real pros and it shows!” – The Blood Shed
“Evertrapped, and as they lay their claim as one of the front runners of melodic death metal in all of the land” – Bucketlist Music Reviews
“Raise your horns to Evertrapped!” – Metal Reviews
“Something Epic!” – Musik Universe
“Once again, hypnotic…” – Ondes Chocs
“Judging by the sample we got, this next album will sound like a ton of bricks!” – Quebec Metal

About:
Ontario’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 has 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!

“What starts out as a solid thrash album quickly morphs into a far more interesting, original, and engaging work with strong flavours of Mastodon’s proggy sludge and big riffs.” – Metal Hammer
“each song features a sweaty, aggressive thrash engine that propels the music forward, but the instrumentation is far more skillful and intricate than just straightforward shredding. “Hymn for the Heathens” has a great classic rock feel to it and opener “Titans Fall” does its mythic subject matter proud.” – Exclaim!
“The illustrious list of top quality metal bands to emerge from Canada has just been added to. Adrenechrome take the hard hitting technicality of bands like Realm, the addictive assault of classic thrash and bring it all up to date with a liberal helping of Baroness style, passionate free thinking. It’s a fresh, interesting, exciting combination of sounds that makes new seven track EP Hideous Appetites, well worth going out of your way to track down. Songs like ‘Titan’s Fall’ and ‘Hymn For The Heathens’ combine the immediate appeal of crisp, melodic riffing with a clear longevity, born of their intelligent complexity and diversity. CK 4 /5” – Zero Tolerance Magazine
“Adrenechrome have concocted a winning recipe. This four-piece from Ontario, Canada clearly know their way around thrash’s greats but show no fear in chucking in some modern flair. And I don’t mean crash, bang, wallop, what the hell – you only have to hear the opening riff to ‘Titans Fall’ to get those saliva glands going.” – Metal-Rules.com
“Kudos to the guitars for their mix of heaviness and catchiness, as well as inventive rhythms.” – Metallian
“ADRENECHROME are a highly skilled and technically proficient band musically. The songs rage with great breakdowns yet are also layered with lots of crunch and have some tasty Jazz influenced solos throughout.” – Metal-Temple

About:
ODIUM’s goal is to write heavy and melodic music, while constantly developing their style from album to album. The instrumentals lend their tone and energy to invite more versatility in the vocals in each song. Their passion for performing live and incredible stage energy has allowed them to open for Alexisonfire, The Agonist, Beneath the Massacre, Divinity, Moneen, and Fuck the Facts.
The lyrics invite listeners to take a journey through despair, while the bass and drums drive the rhythm, the guitars straddle the line between pure aggression and melodic riffs. For ODIUM there has always been a pattern of evolution over the past few years that allows them to continuously create multi-genre influenced music. The band is comprised of Joe Mullen, Jake Fortney, Andrew Fullerton, Bo Louther, Marc Dobson, who have come from various bands such as Archaea/Willfall.
The bands name is defined as ‘disgraceful hate’ however after the past 10 years they have come to see the band name relating directly to perseverance. ODIUM has a foundation of trust which creates a bond likened to that of a brotherhood. The dedication and teamwork within the band is based on respect, and because the internal bond is so strong they are able to create a meaningful connection with fans.

“Standouts like the album’s opening title track pit detuned, jud-judding six-strings and double-kick drum rhythms with singer Thomas Emmans’s varied vocal styles, which run from Maynard James Keenan-styled creep-crooning to esophagus-annihilating screams.” – Exclaim!
“Loud and fast but also melodic and complex, fan of acts like Killswitch Engage and Lamb of God will not be disappointed.” – London Metro News
“Odium are very good at what they do, namely melodic Death Metal. This Canadian quintet have a lot going for them…competent and execute the form very well… There are some nice orchestrated atmospheric moments such as at the beginning of ‘Insomina’” – Metal-Rules.com
“Odium posses very distinctive and strong melodic leanings, catchy riffing and undeniable prowess on the performing front – especially with the clean/growl vocal trade-off and the tight rhythm section….cuts like the thrashy “Viral By Nature”, “Within the Distraction” and the title track, perfectly blend with the more expansive sound of “No Way Out” and the melancholic quasi-ballad “The Descent” among others to deliver a decently solid piece of modern Metal. ” – PureGrainAudio.com
“The thing with a band like Odium is that they know how to walk that line between full on heavy, thrashed out metal and melody. It’s definitely their style, but they only seem to turn it on where it’s necessary, and that speaks to a much wider audience.” – Juliette Jagger – AlanCross.ca

“For a short while now, I’ve claimed this Ontario band be one of the Great White North brightest unsigned lights. I’m vividly imagining them inking a deal with Q Prime Management, the people who handle Metallica and Baroness, thereby scoring them opening slots on their roster mates’ tours.” – Decibel Mag
“Adrenechrome may be one of the best bands you’ve never heard of.” – Zero Tolerance Mag
“Tales From Adrenechrome is a monster of an album that deserves your attention.” Bravewords
““Black Brubeck” is impressive; the song is loaded with prog chops and wacky banjo plucks, which break up it’s pounding slog. “God Sized Shadow” is stacked way high with amplification between Mike Van Dyk‘s bombing bass and the railing guitars of Tim Kehoe and Chris Friesen. Friesen‘s tradeoffs been dank cleans and squelchy rasps add to the song’s slow bang. Of course, you can expect a soothing progression to change the dynamic of “God Sized Shadow”, and of course there has to be a black metal burp inside a song with that name. Style points awarded to ADRENECHROME.” – Blabbermouth
“what they’re doing is hipster metal cool with entertaining riff barrages and convulsive tom rolls.” – Blabbermouth
“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.” – Bucketlist Music Reviews
““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!”” – Voir
“Each track on this album stands on its own as a solid piece of music, but the unpredictability makes this album a treat to listen to front to back. It’s diverse and dynamic style keeps you on your toes as each track comes and goes, always leaving you satisfied with what you just experienced. Above all else, that’s what this album is; an experience. One you don’t want to miss out on, as it might be one of 2015’s most well put together albums, who’s only real flaw is that it feels too short…This album is a gem of Canadian metal, and should not be skipped by any fan of the genre.” – Audio Honesty
“Adrenechrome have riffs for days, interspersing smoky grooves with surprisingly proggy passages and fierce, earthy vocals. Give this one a shot if you’re looking for a twist in the well-traveled path. ” – Toilet ov Hell

Chris Friesen – Lead vocals / guitar –
Tim Kehoe – Lead Guitar
Matt Copeland – Drums
Mike Van Dyk – Bass
Track by Track explained by the band:
1. A Familiar Face is about our first entirely major song riff, meant to lull the listener into a false sense of security.
2. Lockstep – This song is straight up thrash with a touch of Van Halen inspired riffery and some surf style to boot.
3. Black Brubeck – Def one of our most spastic tunes, lots of riffs and even a nod to Mr. Brubeck himself.
4. God Sized Shadow – This is our most “song” like offering to date with a little black metal in the middle.
5. The Heart And The Feather – This is another major offering with an uplifting theme and some Thin Lizzy inspired bits.
6. Hideous Appetites – This track is hard hitting riffs with some sludge thrown in for good measure and a big rock finish a la Clutch.
7. The Lead Elephant – This is Friesen’s personal favorite on the album, thrash/sludge tuned down to A and the riff at the end is one of our best.

CK 4 /5” – Zero Tolerance Magazine
“Annihilator-meets-Mastodon composite, with probably more progressive tendencies lurking about. And yeah, big thumbs-up for this type of combo… At only two years of age, Adrenechrome displays a keen eye for dynamics on their debut EP, Hideous Appetites” – Blistering.com
“This is a band with some serious skill, some serious ability, and an EP which is going to blow your mind when you hear it. To be quite honest, I can easily see these guys achieving a hell of a year next year if this continues, definitely a band you need to make sure you’re following!” – Loud-Stuff.com

“This is truly a gem from the small metal mines of Ontario, Canada. Adrenechrome is well worth your time and not just in listening to their music. They are an act that is a must see live. Their stage presence and the execution of the music is unbelievable! If they are playing near you I urge you, URGE YOU, to go see them!! You won’t regret it!” – XplosiveMetal.com
“Adrenechrome is made up some damn talented guys and I highly recommend checking out their brand new single “Titans Fall”. It’s a powerful, political tune that does not pull any punches.” – WeLoveMetal.com
“Canadians Adrenechrome manages to stand out on their debut release Hideous Appetites, but they accomplish it by defying thrash stereotypes rather than following them. There’s still plenty of thrash centric moments, but the instrumentals also head into stoner metal and hard rock territory throughout the seven songs.” – Cosmos Gaming
“Solid stuff from these cats. Hard Rocking Metal too put hair on your chest” – MaximumThreshold.net
“Adrenechrome successfully blends classic thrash metal with the innovation of progressive metal and harsh heaviness of metalcore, while at the same time retaining melody and demonstrating some terrific musicianship. 4/5” – DangerDog

I’d recommend it for its strong musical performances and its smooth blend of thrash / progressive / and rock styles.” – SeaofTranquility
“‘Hideous Appetites’ is a very good introduction to Adrenechrome and offers a lot of promise for the bands future. Highlight of the album: ‘Winds of The Void’ Rating: 8/10” – Firebrand Magazine
“They bring us a solid plate of classic thrash with a good heaping of progressive elements thrown on top. It is a fresh batch of excellent songwriting mixed with a good portion of inspiration from big names such as Mastodon and The Sword that yields a really nicely put together EP.
The first thing that really stands out on Hideous Appetites is the writing. Each song is filled to the brim with first-rate guitar work and a healthy amount of guitar solos.” – Emurg.com
“this LP leaves you thirsty for more. It’s like crossover EXTREME with anything (groove) and everything (thrash) thrown in to make things extra spicy! This is another young uncompromising band to keep an eye out for. Highly unusual and highly recommend.” – Heavy Metal Time Machine
“The riffs these guys blend together are just truly amazing. It’s progressive, but classic… technical, but groovy… thrashy, but melodic. They have to be a genre snob’s nightmare! The band says they’re influenced by the classic sound of Pantera, Sabbath, and Metallica, but also use the fresh sounds of Children of Bodom, High on Fire, and Mastodon. This has to be the truest statement I have ever read about a band’s influences. You can hear every last one of them reflect in the music, but Adrenechrome has managed to make a new sound of their own, and it’s one you must hear.” – MetalReview.com
“Their music is the perfect blend of old school Thrash Metal groove blended with new school Technical & Progressive Metal. There is the right amount of dosage of both styles to come up with the perfect formula. There is some all out riff shredding that takes me back to some of the great Thrash bands of the 80’s like TESTAMENT, EXODUS, OVERKILL & WHIPLASH. Some of the newer influences the band has are MASTODON, HIGH ON FIRE & CHILDREN OF BODOM.” – Beowolf Productions
“What’s special about Adrenechrome? Well, these guys have the ability to create the weirdest, most thrashing and unique riffs, there’s a stone rock feel as well in their sound and the guitar solos attack without mercy, they don’t suck, they’re violent musically… They maintain a certain quality no matter what they do, technical and energic, the best songs on this 7 track Ep are “Titan’s fall”, “The Horror”, and “Locust Wings”. Cool Tunes, original or not-this Ep kills!!” – Aquelarre Zine
“The playing is tight in every department and the lyrics are awesome as hell. Songs such as “Titan’s Fall” and “Locust Wings” are so catchy that they will probably be stuck in your head for days. With that, I think if Adrenechrome play their cards right and keep their innovative style of thrash fresh they may end up getting a lot of deserved attention. I look forward to seeing what they do in the future.” – UysFaber.com
““Hideous Appetites” is an edacious seven track EP with 33 minutes of nonstop headbanging contemplating a vast range of destructive metal. This work has much to offer to fans of the old school rock but opens the door and welcomes all types of appreciators. With a huge spectrum of sounds you can hear a furious guitar with a heavy and catchy riffing with a flavor of thrash and hard rock that also hosts cool melodies, a well worked progressive drumming that blows your mind, a very technical bass that doesn’t stay concealed in the music background, and a voice that goes from roaring growls to a less harsh vocal work.” – Heavy Metal Mania
“With “Hideous Appetites” they showed what they are here for… “Melt your fucking face” with massive metal. Don´t miss these guys!” – Heavy Metal Mania
“If you still enjoy your thrash metal, then Adrenechrome will whet your appetite with their different and original take on the genre. Worth investigating.” – GetReadyToRock.me.uk
“[4/5]I love releases like this, independent bands like this should have bigger label involvement, the quality of the recording is pretty damn good, the ideas of Friesen are bonkers, I mean, you even get some almost hillbilly riffing during ‘The Horror’ as well as intense crossover/hardcore breakdowns, light appealing acoustic section, Adrenechrome have a touch of everything.All in all, I am thoroughly pleased with this release, this is a great starting point for this band and this is an album some of the bigger hitters should have come up with. The inventiveness, the delivery the passion is clear and ‘Hideous Appetites’ is a really cool album that crosses genres and keeps listeners entertained and interested.” – Brutalism.com

Ontario’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 has upcoming album ‘Tales From Adrenechrome’ is due out on November 27, 2015 to follow up their 2012 debut EP ‘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!
