“The production of the song gives the music a raw, abrasive tone, accentuated by bouts of bleeding feedback. The music gets under your skin and writhes like worms in your head. Its dismal melodies tend to stay in your head, too. The finishing instrumental segment over the video’s closing credits is eerie, dramatic, and powerful — and it offers no hope either.” –NoCleanSinging.com

     Edmonton’s own IDOLATRY was involved in a car accident on May 28 on Highway 17 East of Wawa, Ontario. While travelling down a gravel road their vehicle veered off the road and into the ditch. Lord Matzigkeitus (Vocals) sustained some cracked ribs during the accident ,but no other members were severely hurt. The black metal group has been on tour performing in Quebec, Ontario, and were on route to their show May 29th show in Brandon, MB, which would have been their last date of the tour and has now been cancelled. The band apologizes to fans who were hoping to see them perform.

 

IDOLATRY has launched a crowdfunding campaign through GoFundMe.com to raise money for vehicle repairs and fuel to get back to Edmonton, Alberta.

 

GoFundMe.com Campaign: https://www.gofundme.com/idolatry/donate

 

The band comments: “Our band Idolatry went out east for our first Canadian tour and right before our last show had a vehicle accident.  We are all fine, bruised but fine. Unfortunately, we have to cancel the remainder of the tour and need your help to make it back to Edmonton, Alberta. If you can make a donation we would be incredibly grateful.”

 

IDOLATRY has a goal of $350 CND and hopes fans and friends will donate so they can make arrangements to make it back to Edmonton.

Biography:

Creaking, bleak and articulate in its fury, Idolatry perform dynamic black metal that is at once cold and calculating, and then a schizophrenic catharsis. Comprised of members from Edmonton’s finest pedigree of extreme metal with singular vision to be old Norway’s soldier in Canada’s frozen tundra of misery. Live, Idolatry is corpse painted, spiked, and manic, raiding crowds of their attention to all else….terrifying. At the pen, Idolatry is wise and ancient. Heavily steeped in philosophy and the defense of Atheistic Satanism and the expulsion of abhorrent inner turmoil.

Fear what is coming….. Lest the mirrors paint your face in our madness.

VESPERIA Reveal Bloody Screenshots From Upcoming Music Video + Oshawa Tour Kickoff Show For Western Leg Of Cross Canada Tour
The Western Tempests (Live in Montreal) – Watch here.

The Swordsman (Live in Toronto) – Watch here.
    Canadian epic death metal band VESPERIA has put the finishing touches on their brand new music video for the as-of-yet unreleased song, ‘The Western Tempests’. The band recently emerged from the famous Camp 30 – which is a dilapidated and abandoned prisoner of war camp in Bowmanville, Ontario.

“The new music video for The Western Tempests is dark. Very dark.” comments band bassist and frontman, Morgan Rider. “We built the story of the video around the five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. Spending from sundown to sunup over two weekends to give the video its clutching darkness and disturbing atmosphere have definitely given us the result we were looking for.”

Screen Shots
      In additional news, VESPERIA will be touring both Eastern and Western Canada this coming June & July with select dates supported by Winnipeg’s melodic death metal band Laika. They will also be hosting a special tour kickoff party prior to their West Coast leg of their cross Canada tour. On Friday, July 10th their tour kick off show will take place at the newest live music venue in Oshawa, ON at The Moustache Club, located in the heart of downtown at 15 Simcoe St N on the second floor.
The show will include a well-rounded line up consisting of reputable death, black, gothic and doom metal bands including Arbor (Wisconsin black metal), and Toronto’s Blastomycosis & Conquer.
“We are really happy to be hosting another party in Oshawa, our old hometown that roots the band’s early days. We have a really cool lineup of reputable bands coming from near and abroad that should make for a night no one will soon forget.” comments band frontman and manager, Morgan Rider.

About:
Twisting, writhing and forcing their aural onslaught upon metal audiences across the globe have sincerely ensured VESPERIA’s continuity through all the harsh and arduous battles modern metal bands are sure to encounter in their tenures.
Originally formed in 2005 by lead vocalist/ bassist Morgan Rider as a black metal band, the sound, direction and theme of the music naturally evolved into the style of fierce and heroic metal the band is now known for. Shortly after releasing their long overdue brand melodic metal 2011 full-length ‘Voyage from Vinland’, VESPERIA redefined their purpose and direction once and finally with their 2012 demo ‘The Swordsman’ and 2013 full-length ‘An Olden Tale’, drawing the ears and attention of metal fans around the world and demonstrating their true mastery of their craft.With the most fierce music written to date and a bounty of opportunity awaiting, VESPERIAhungrily eye 2015 as the year they will make their mark upon the Earth.

“Very quickly I became a fan of the band through the work of their vocalist Dalyn. His voice is quite unique, being both strangely death metal low and deathcore high at the same time. The riff work of Ryan “Carbomb” Sorensen, and bassist Kevin Student brought a nice brand of brutality with the occasional bit of melody, while Joel Zimmerman (no, not THAT Joel Zimmerman) blasted beautifully on the drums. This is one band that I know Crown of Viserys will be following from here on out. They outright kick ass, and I am honestly a bit surprised they didn’t win.” – Crown of Viserys regarding the Edmonton Wacken Metal Battle Canada (2015)

Biography

Windy City Slaughter draw up dark imagery through their deafening lows, breakdowns, and occasional pig squeals but the lyrical content defies the genre norm by challenging one to face their greatest fears and overcome them.

Their name is meant to draw up a fear of a rogue serial killer, or a furious storm that is unforgiving. This humble four piece hailing from Grande Prairie, Alberta began in 2012 and has been steadily outgrowing their deathcore genre label by delving into more traditional metal compositions. The band is comprised of Kevin S. on bass, The Zim on drums, and Carbomb as their leading guitarist. Windy City Slaughter is committed to developing their live performance as an engaging and loud act that will lure fans from any metal genre. The band plans to tour eastern Canada June 2015 and has currently released a demo and a full length called ‘Alpha’. Make sure to catch this hurricane of brutal metal as they trek across Canada.
