Biography:

Bonfire creates dark, honest music painted through sorrowful lyrics and a haunting guitar tone. The four piece hails from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and features members of Hhogwash and other local bands from the hardcore scene.

Lyrically Greg Demers (guitar/vocals) draws from family issues, relationships, and in general low points in life to compose an image for listeners. Thomas Gelley (Bass) and James Wojak (guitar) generate the resonating instrumentals while Kurt Wolfe (drums) drives the songs forward.

Despite the emotional lyrics and dreary instrumentals their passion and energy on stage is explosive, yet sombre. Bonfire started in 2012 and since then has released Adderall (demo) and a split with Newborn last year.

The band is releasing ‘Mom’s Garden’ Fri., Oct. 2, along with a fall tour across Eastern Canada.

“Though they’ve been dropping songs online over the past couple weeks, and will be putting more up over the next few as well, getting people hyped about a new album they have coming out. Bread from Flipper and Low, The Melvins and Harvey Milk, if this is the future of Hardcore, or Post-Hardcore, or whatever genre people are calling it, I need to check out more shows.” – Deadcitypress.ca

EP Teaser Stream – Listen here.

      Montreal’s VANTABLACK WARSHIP is a devastating maelstrom of dark, slow-churning metal, ready to devastate all in its path. Many of the members are veterans of the Quebec metal scene coming from well known and respected punk, death and thrash bands such as Arseniq33, Ghoulunatics, and Les Ekorchés among many others.

The oncoming onslaught of metal that is VANTABLACK WARSHIP has been fine tuning its craft to set sail with their debut self-titled EP set to be unleashed on October 9th, 2015 through Bandcamp and iTunes. But before its release, the five-piece juggernaut has teamed up withMetalUniverse.net for the exclusive premiere of their first single ‘The Pit’, which can be heard at the following link: http://www.metaluniverse.net/nouvelles.php?id_nouvelle=24887 

Like the slow churn of a mechanical wheel grinding metal, the warship produces a punishing onslaught of sound from start to finish. Lyrically, the dreadnought writing forces are their bassist and vocalist, who focus on themes surrounding current events, horror, and politics – sometimes all rolled into one song.

VANTABLACK WARSHIP’s crew is comprised of Yannick (Pil) Pilon (Arseniq33, Buffalo Theory MTL) at the helm on vocals, Pat Gordon (Ghoulunatics, Les Ekorchés, Leprocy, Buffalo Theory Mtl) on guitar, Pierre Pitre (Arseniq33, Foreshadow) manning the drums, Thierry Hivon (Brutal Chérie, Sarkasm) rigging the guitar,  and Kurt Clifford (Foreshadow) anchoring the bass .

For those living in the Montreal area, the band’s EP launch show will be held on September 26th at Atomic Cafe. For more info, please visit the the following link here.

HAIDUK (One Man Thrashing Black Death Project) Unleashes New Concept Album ‘Demonicon’ (9 Songs, 9 Demons)

Photo Credit: Derek Kent

    HAIDUK, the Calgary, AB one man thrashing black and death metal project fronted by Luka Milojica is proud to officially unleash as of September 9th his latest concept album ‘Demonicon’ where each song pertains to the nine demons on the releases front cover.

“It’s a crusher! This album has some of my best riffs. I don’t waste my time, I don’t waste your time. This is true Haiduk the way it was meant to be: cold, evil, blasting arrangements featuring some unique guitar work. 9 songs, 9 demons, risen from the volcanic underworld of Octavia in the realm of Callost – a fantasy world setting, which serves as the basis for the map, lyrics, and short stories contained in the CD booklet.” comments  Luka Milojica.

Three years in the making, ‘Demonicon’ follow 2012’s break through debut full length ‘Spellbook’ and once again is completely written and produced by Luka Milojica along with mastering by Robert Kukla (Arbitrator) plus album artwork done by Gragoth of Luciferium War Graphics.

To order your copy of ‘Demonicon’, please visit www.Haiduk.ca.

About:

Haiduk is the death metal solo-project by guitarist Luka Milojica. Emerging from the cold forests of Canada, the project arose with the release of the raw, bone-chilling 8-song demo “Plagueswept” (2010).

 

Aggressive and dark, the sound of Haiduk is a direct channeling of haunting ideas from composer to listener, as the conceptualization, writing, and execution of the music is a solitary process. Free from outside influence, the songs pull the listener toward themes of power, evil, magic and myth.

 

Forging ahead in solitude, Haiduk unleashed the full-length debut “Spellbook” (2012); a black-magic conjuring of fast guitars and powerful riff attacks summoning an atmosphere of true darkness.

 

Invoking spells of demonic strength, Haiduk raised forces from the infernal depths, sealing arcane knowledge and ancient power into the “Demonicon” (2015); a blackened tome of blasting distortion.

“Best Unsigned Artist” HeavyMetal.About.com (April 2013)

“Thrashing fusion of black and death metal lit up like fireworks by ravaging, swarming riffs” – No Clean Singing

“Tight, aggressive, energetic” – Metal Crypt

“Mix of technical thrash-death, aggressive and precise speed-riffs, blastbeats and a devilish growl” – Stalker.cd

“A groovy and unrelenting beast of a record” – Beatroute

“the whole thing sounding big, full, and ominous, the riffs just crashing out of the realm of indie and into the big leagues, all modern Testament by way of Vader, filtered through black influences.” – Bravewords

“All right, a full-length debut of fist-pumping Black/Death Metal from this one-man Canadian band. I really liked this guy’s demo Plagueswept, so I am pleased to get a chance to hear this. Once again this works a rather unique style, mixing Death aggression and Blackened atmosphere to chugging Trad Metal riffing and headbanging rhythms. Once again I enjoy the clean-limbed, aggressive, and agile guitarwork, combining spiraling tremolo scaling with sharp rhythm work and a sense of speed as a tool, rather than an end of itself. The vocals are a deathlike bark, and the whole thing sounds sometimes like a blackened version of Krisiun. Tight, aggressive, energetic, and fresh-sounding, Haiduk deserve more attention than they get.” – Metal Crypt

“I love ‘Stormcall’, a fiery explosive piece of metal that seems to melt your mind with its brute force, not to mention the nasty Black Metal inspired ‘Black Winds’ that is on the verge of loosening chaos and yet never loses its melodies that seem to let the song live and breath.” – Metal Bite

“Tracks like “Black Wind”, “Forcefield”, and “Fire Wield” are heavy and punishing, engaging me from the first note to the last. And did I mention riffs? This is an incredibly riff-driven album…” – Absolute Hell

“the whole album is full of intricate breaks and intense riff work. Haiduk walks the fuzzy line between black and death metal in a way that really plays up the best of both worlds. Songs like “Forcefield” really play on these dissonant riffs that bounce back and forth as if to trick you into headbanging like a demented puppet suffering an epileptic seizure…I’m really quite impressed. This is a very solid record that I have already recommended to half a dozen friends. I can’t wait to see what Haiduk puts out next. ” Metal Wani
