Evilheart Canadian Tour Flyerv2

“The songs on this belligerent, 10 track, Mexican album are as exotic and unique as the land they come from. One gets the feeling the Aztecs would have appreciated this form of controlled chaos as they sacrificed their countless victims to the gods. Songs like ‘Supremacy And Holocaust’ and ‘Decimated Opposition’ transport you straight into a world of chaos, destruction and unbridled slaughter. You can almost taste blood of your enemies on your lips.” – 925 Rebellion

“What we have here is part of the top ten of modern death metal bands in Mexico. It’s highly recommended!!” – Zombie Ritual Zine

“Quinquaginta” is an album which resembles the golden years of South American Metal, but with a modern production and cover art, which is something very favorable for the band and for a style that is being forgotten across the world” – Criticas De Discos Zine 

“In conclusion “Quinquaginta” is a very good album for those enthusiasts of Brutal Death Metal with touches of Black Metal, closer to Death Black in my opinion. It is well worth that you also check their previous album, so you can hear the evolution of the band. Support them, they have improved a lot.” – Rockomentarios Zine 

“There is a lot of maturity in the song writing. The rhythm changes make this album a very dynamic release full of brutality based on awesome riffs and interesting blast beats.” – Sonus Infernalis 

“But what makes of Evilheart a band with a special sound? Death metal has the peculiarity that it can be one of the most varied styles, in this case they know how to mix brutality, speed and technique, all is uniform time and into the right place” – Metal Archives 

“If Austria is represented by Belphegor, and Poland is represented by Behemoth, well, here in Mexico we have Evilheart.”  – Toxxik ‘zine
“Goddamn! How comes today so many superfluous bands got signed by the dozen and other excellent ones like this Evilheart (from Culiacán, Mexico) have to self release an album on their own?” – Nuclear Abomination Zine 

“Evilheart have definitely arrived, and on the strength of this debut I’m certain we’ll see more of them. If this level of quality continues through their subsequent releases, it’s likely Evilheart will shortly join Cenotaph and Makina on the list of memorable Mexican extreme metal bands” – Metal-Rules

       Vancouver, BC SCISSORTOOTH has teamed up with Noizz Webzine for the premiere of their latest track ‘Rotting Alive’ from their upcoming album‘Novagomorrah’ set to be unleashed on Galy Records on July 28th with pre-order available here. ‘Rotting Alive’ embodies Bay Area thrash metal from the 80’s, Seattle grunge from the 90’s, while adding raspy vocals over chugging riffs and questions the intentions of corporations and the constant push to consume.

“Rotting alive is about the constant bombardment and force feeding of commercials, products and being ‘consumers.” comments drummer Shawn Hoskins.

”Rotting Alive’ can be heard at the following link:http://noizzwebzine.blogspot.ca/2015/07/streaming-exclusivo-de-scissortooth_17.html 

‘Novagomorrah’ is just under 1 hour (58 min total) spread over tracks engineered and mixed by the band’s own, Shawn Hoskins, and mastered by Vancouver’s Greg Mindorff at Suite Sound Labs (Biff Naked, D.O.A., Finger 11). Their sound embodies the aggressive, yet groovy feeling of early Pantera braised with industrial samples throughout the album.

Biography

Scissortooth is a Canadian Thrash Metal band from Vancouver, B.C..  Formed in 2003 by Derek Lundblad (Vocalist/guitarist) and Shawn Hoskins (drummer), formerly from Mantra, moved to the west coast from Grande Prairie, A.B.. The current line-up comprises of founding members Lundblad, Hoskins, and Ken Firomski (bassist), Ken  (Empyria and Cradle to Grave) who moved from Granisle B.C.. (Empyria and Cradle to Grave).

The band’s melodic hooks, varying tempos, and aggressive musicianship alongside of original writing approach and unique timbre has given their songs a different edge to most modern acts. Influenced by a wide spectrum of sounds of bands like Pantera, Metallica, Megadeth, Type O Negative to Soundgarden, Tool, Pink Floyd and Nine Inch Nails have lent to the songwriting and arrangements a flavor that fills a void in today’s often bland musical climate.

Their debut full length, Novagomorrah is scheduled to be release July 28, 2015.

Tours & Festivals:

West Coast Tour 2008 – Intertwine co-headliner Scissortooth

Shared Stage With:

Aurosch, Magnus Rising, Scythia, Intertwine, Titans Eve, and Woods of Ypres.

Announce Debut Show Aug 21st in Colorado Springs @ Zodiac Lounge

       Named after a gorgeous, but poisonous flower that blooms in winter, Manitou Springs, CO based HELLEBORUS is the new creation of brothers Jerred & Wyatt Houseman (both former members of Execration). Pushing their creative freedom to new levels, the psychedelic black metal project is Dionysian in nature and explores themes of sexual mysticism, Qabalah & the Esoteric.

For their second song debut to the metal world, HELLEBORUS has teamed up with NefariousRealm.com for the exclusive premiere of their forthcoming album’s title track ‘The Carnal Sabbath’.

“The Carnal Sabbath is the core sound of our album; a skeletal anthem blending all the imagination and magic that we put into this album. With this piece we wanted craft a seamless structure of all our musical influences as well as a perfect image of the concepts behind the music. This track symbolizes balance and power with its brooding rhythms and sinister melodies. There is a lot to take from this track and it’s an excellent conclusion to the album.” comments vocalist/ lyricist Wyatt Houseman.

‘The Carnal Sabbath’ is one of many songs the brothers plan to unleash on their soon to be finished debut full length, a release that combines black, death and doom metal with a vast ambiance. Venturing outside the conventional colors of traditional black metal, Jerred & Wyatt plan to deliver a new aura of sound where fans of The Devil’s Blood, Satyricon, Necorphobic, Belphegor, Blut Aus Nord are sure to connect with them.

In addition to their track premiere, the duo will be debut their live line up in Colorado Springs, CO on August 21st at Zodiac Lounge. Full show details can be found here.

“I will forever embrace quality underground Metal, especially underground Black Metal. Helleborus have without question, tapped into my Black Metal psyche with their new song. I honestly cannot stop listening to Coils.” – Metal Odyssey

“The chiming riffs and exotic lead guitar melodies in “Coils” do indeed generate an air of mysticism that surrounds the song, but the music also rocks very hard. The thundering drums and rumbling bass rhythms give the song a sense of tangible power, and the jagged, howling vocals cut like a serrated knife. It’s a bulldozer as well as a spellcaster…the song is also catchy as hell, and it should hold special appeal to fans of bands such as The Devil’s Blood, Satyricon, and Belphegor.” – No Clean Singing

About AGGRESSION:

Formed in 1985 under the original moniker “Asylum” to be later changed to AGGRESSION, the speed metallers unleashed their 1986 demo “Forgotten Skeleton”, (which saw an album release in 2005) and their debut full length “The Full Treatment” in 1987, which lead them to become one of the most popular bands to rise out of the Quebec and Canadian metal scene. With their manager at the time (Johnny Hart), AGGRESSION quickly became a household name with their concerts sold out everywhere and a fanbase that grew from hundreds to thousands in no time.  Other bands such as Metallica, Slayer, Exodus, Hallow’s Eve, Destruction and others all wanted to see the beast for themselves during tour stops in Montreal. Playing numerous concerts with bands such as Anvil, Celtic Frost, Voïvod, Nuclear Assault, Agnostic Front, D.R.I., Possessed, Dark Angel, Crumbsuckers, Sacrifice and others, AGGRESSION decided to call it quits in 1989 due to external influences.

Discography:

*band line up for recordings was Denis Sasquatch Barthe (guitar and backup vocals), Botcher (vocals), Burn (guitar), Dug (bass) and Gate (drums and backup vocals).

*1985 – *4 track demo

*1986 – *Live (14 track live album)

About: Formed in 2007, Display of Decay is widely noted for bringing a unique blend of old school death metal, with tinges of thrash and doom metal. Hailing from Edmonton, the band has spread their infection across Western Canada, sharing the stage alongside other elite acts such as, The Faceless, Origin, Beyond Creation & more..After four well received indie releases, DISPLAY OF DECAY is ready to unleash its next full length “Dust of Existence” that features eight aural assaulting tracks that will set the mosh pits ablaze.  Due out later this Fall 2015 with the support of a Western Canadian tour, “Dust of Existence” is a direct epilogue to their 2014 EP, “Outbreak of Infection”.“We aimed to keep a similar style of groove on this record as we had on previous releases, with heavy punchy riffs that are near impossible to keep out of your head, but still maintain that raw edge we have become known for. With the artwork as well, we wanted it portrayed in such fashion that it plays out the story being told from the Outbreak record to this new record, which is basically a devastating virus that has been unleashed upon mankind, terrorizing and annihilating everything in its path, “Dust of Existence” is the aftermath of these events. Nothing left but scattered remains of what was once there. ” comments guitarist Sean Watson.

 

With a few of the tracks on the record written during the “Outbreak of Infection” recording sessions, which the band felt weren’t quite ready at the time to be recorded. During this writing session for “Dust of Existence”, DISPLAY OF DECAY especially tried to make sure each and every song was very diverse from the rest of the tracks.

 

Watson explains.

 

“We didn’t want it to feel as though there was any formula or predictability going on. We find that far too many metal bands form a niche that is their “go-to” when it comes to writing, and that it becomes a predictable comfort-zone that can make a record feel as though the same track is being played from start to finish and really make the listener feel completely disengaged from what is actually being played in front of them. We like to throw whatever change-ups or fills in that I can to really make the listener that much more integrated into the tracks.”

 

Track by Track – ‘Dust of Existence’:

 

1. Created to Kill – When DISPLAY OF DECAY approached the writing of this song, they were originally beginning to rework and old track that had been scrapped about 5 years ago. When they made a couple changes and the track turned into something completely different than what they had anticipated. This is one of the fastest if not the fastest track on the record, where they started incorporating more blast beats, and very heavy gallops on the guitars. The lyrics are based on events from 19th century Europe, around the origination of Frankenstein’s monster, and the attempts at resurrecting someone from the dead.

 

2. Relentless Reprisal – This track was lyrically of a personal matter. Its concept is that of getting revenge in the most gruesome of ways against somebody who had wronged you in one way or another.

 

3. High Voltage Castration – This was one of the last tracks written for the album, and is one of the most challenging of their entire catalog to perform, but also one of the most enjoyable. Its written about the “Tucker Telephone,” which was a torture device from the 1960’s that consisted of an old hand-crank telephone and an electric generator. If information was required of a prisoner, or they were found to be disobedient, they would be taken to a hospital room and restrained to a table, where a ground wire would be attached to the large toe, and the hot wire would be attached to the genitals, causing a massive electrical current to ensue, typically causing major deformation to the appendage.

 

4. Maruta – Based off the events of the Japanese “Unit 731″ experiments, this song outlines some of the gruesome acts that were bestowed upon prisoners during the WWII, which goes from live artillery testing, all the way to forced organ failures and vivisection.

 

5. Cellar Goreatory – Since the band’s inception, they have always tried to stay closely entwined to the early roots of death metal, and this track in particular follows that very in your face, savage groove that you cannot help but bang your head along to. The lyrical concept was based on a story guitarist Sean Watson was told from an acquaintance who had returned from vacation, which in a short version of the story, the person had a near fatal encounter with someone who was later to have found harboring the bodies of dead female tourists in their basement.

 

6. Messiah Complex – This was one of the earlier tracks DISPLAY OF DECAY had been performing before the recording process had begun for ‘Dust of Existence’. It starts off fairly slow and melodic, but has very heavy bridge sections, and takes a fast pace very quickly towards the ending.

 

7. Nyctophilia – This was the first track written out of the eight. It keeps a much slower pace than the rest of the album, but showcases a very dark tone from start to finish.

 

8. Dust of Existence – When DISPLAY OF DECAY began writing the lyrics for this song, There was no music behind it, and the band had a much different concept that was eventually altered to fit the story being told. When the writing of this track began, they knew right away it was easily going to be the longest song, it had to, it basically is the calm after the storm. With all that was said and done from “Outbreak of Infection” right to where they are now with “Dust of Existence,” this track basically plays out the events that have unfolded, both through the songs, and in real life events around being in this band. Many things have changed since their formation in 2007, and the stories that could be told over that 8 years could last for days, and this song is a testament to the past, present, and future of DISPLAY OF DECAY.

Reviews from Outbreak of Infection EP (2014) 

 

“The EP contains 5-tracks of, “…grim and gore,” perfect for fans of Deicide and Cannibal Corpse” – Bloody-Disgusting

 

““Outbreak of Infection” is a Deicide-al rampage of fast, rapacious riffing and spitfire soloing, with gut-punching drums and a gruesomely guttural vocal performance. These dudes do a good jump injecting the music with snake venom and radiating an aura of ravenous evil. They bring the death metal brutality, spiced up with insidious melody and high-voltage fretwork.” – No Clean Singing

 

“Display of Decay is a Death Metal outfit with old-school sensibilities. They’re melodic without entering Melodic Death, and they’re brutal without becoming cliche. This is just some shit you have to hear for yourself.” – Yell Magazine

 

“From its outstanding cover art to its heaviest predatory note, Outbreak of Infection the new EP from Canadian death metallers Display Of Decay, is one richly appetising and satisfying proposition. Unleashing five tracks which crawl and lumber over the senses with tenacious and skilled purpose, the release pushes the Edmonton based quartet another few strides towards the brightest spotlight. Maybe it does not hold any major surprises but without doubt the EP makes for a fresh and rigorously protagonist which is thoroughly compelling.” – Ring Master Review

 

“Outbreak of Infection, a mid-paced slab of brutality in the vein of Deicide, Cannibal Corpse, and Nile. Showing they wear their influences on their sleeves, this trio also sounds nothing like the aforementioned bands at times, their own sound gleaming vile from the pile of corpses they wear.” – Crown of Viserys

 

“Canada’s power trio, aptly known as Display of Decay play old school death metal with growl vocals and catchy hooks that’ll make you bang your head.” Explicitly Intense

 

“This is a real listenable EP due to is crunchy drive and catchy rhythms. It is Brutal Death Metal but it has the kind of songs you could put in a zombie film for added tension and brutality…The guttural vocals are strong low and perfect for these tracks. This is an EP you can throw in and listen to all five songs, the last of which is a Kiss cover Black Diamond.” – Blackened Horde

 

“There is something noteworthy about each of the five tracks on this EP from the pulsating opening rhythms of first track; ‘Born Of Rot’ which has some great off-kilter technical riffs woven into its sound. The pounding ‘Manchurian Candidate’ is heavy as hell but still manages to have an underlying groove and is finished off with some thrashy guitar work. ‘Praise The Gore’ has a definite doom edge in places, balance nicely against some thrashy guitar segments and good tempo and direction change that keeps it interesting. With title track ‘Outbreak Of Infection’ my interest was grabbed at the opening vocal roar, and maintained by the insanely constructed, catchy rhythms. The final track is a mind-blowing cover of Kiss’s ‘Black Diamond’ from 1974 and THIS is how that track was meant to sound, brutal, crunchy and catchy, a superb rendition.” – Metal Talk

About:

Capturing the classic thrash sound of the Big Four in their prime; early Metallica, Testament, Slayer, and Megadeth as well as lesser known cult heroes Exodus, Annihilator, Forbidden and Havok.  FALLEN ANGELS is influenced by a wide range of 80’s thrash as well as classic metal from the 70’s and 80’s. The band combines these elements in a fresh, modern sounding album with the explosive riffs and solos that one might have expected to hear on the radio around 1989.  FALLEN ANGELS is a band that thrash fans and more classic metal oriented fans can agree on because the music is catchy but also very aggressive.

“If you were in love with the Bay Area scene, check this album out when it hits. And if you are a fan of irony, thrash coming from Seattle should show you that grunge is the loser in the long run of lasting metal mayhem. If you snag a copy, we’d love to hear what you think about it.” – National Rock Review

 

“These guys give it to you on a molten metal platter with a side of Voivod. This thrash band is bound to feed the need for speed….Every song captures your interest as layer upon layer of tracks there’s something different; little nuances, grace notes, and sweeps. It’s a wonderful earful of surgically placed notes amidst a hail storm of ice picks on your steel shore.” – Horror Metal Sounds

 

“”World In Decay” is one of the best thrash metal albums that I have heard in long time.” – Heavy Metal Time Machine

 

“Listening to World In Decay is a definite blast from the past. Fallen Angels incorporates various elements of Slayer, Megadeth and early Metallica. Songs are fast-paced, contain some political messages and, of course, have energetic guitar solos worthy of melting anyone’s face. Right off the bat, The Hammer’s Blow opens up the album with a short guitar solo, which sets the overall tone and pace for the entirety of the album.” – Screamer Magazine

“if you want intricate, tuneful thrash metal loaded with gratuitous leads and quasi-political lyrics, you’ve got it.” – Terrorizer

“think the weighty arrangements and acoustic sections of Metallica-meets-the technical wizardry of Forbidden, with hints of Realm’s progressive tendencies and Toxik’s shredding leads and shameless melodies.” – Terrorizer

“Pure US-Thrash” – Rock Hard

“From a savage, high-octane riff fest in “Legacy of Pain” to a mid-paced, pounding skull crusher “Descension into Madness”, Fallen Angels not only show their true ability to write thrash songs that stand out effortlessly, but are also determined to get their name on people´s lips for good – along with the excellence of their 2nd album, ENGINES OF OPPRESSION. This stuff is meant to kill, even from a long distance.” – Metal-Rules 

“Fallen Angels are growing, the riffing already aspires to high places” – Heavy Worlds

“Fallen Angels is able to combine the aggression of Dark Angel, the songcraft of Metallica and the masterful musicianship of Coroner to create some superb thrash.” – Lastrit

“US Thrash Metal with a devastating Bay Area touch” – Metal To Infinity

“If you’re the one hooked on the almighty forces of US Thrash Metal, Seattle-Washington based Fallen Angels’ mission is clear… they’re here to provide the “wild ones” among us with furious sounds of steel, headbangers – take your stand!” – Metal To Infinity

“Must for thrash freaks!” – Dark Scene

“”Engines Of Oppression” is a really good slab of thrash” – The Thrash Metal Guide

“so raw and powerful.” – Greek Rebels
