Calgary is home to three of the most important Hillbilly’s you will ever need to know —Puttin’ On The Foil. They plan to make you a part of their singin-a-long, drinkin’, good time trainwreck with their electrifying, kickass punk’n roll music with their latest track and FREE download ‘Shitshow’ off their upcoming album ‘Fired Up, Ready To Roll’ due out May 12th. The track can be downloaded exclusively on PureGrainAudio.com at the following link here.

“This album will make you appreciate the life you’ve been given and the song Shitshow is not just a wicked title…..it’s what we do” comments vocalist / bassist Trayne Rekk.

Since 2011 these small town renegades have been touring the hell out of any weekend that comes their way. In 2014 the band played over 130 shows across Canada. The band’s name is an homage to the film ‘Slapshot’ where the Hanson Brother put foil on their fists to do more damage during fights in the hockey themed movie. Puttin’ On The Foil plans to do the same with their upcoming sophomore release, ‘Fired Up, Ready To Roll’.

Track Listing: Puttin’ On The Foil – Fire Up, Ready To Roll
1. Shitshow (3:08)
2. Comin’ In Hard’ (3:31)
3. Drunk & Naked (3:56)
4. Rowdy (3:46)
5. Fishin’ Song (4:00)
6. Sweet Prairie Vixen (3:20)
7. Giver To The Liver (3:37)
8. Let Me Be (3:48)
9. Raisin’ Hell (3:05)
10. Ode To Drunk (3:44)
Album Length: 36:01

The band is a three piece consisting of Trayne Rekk on Bass/Vocals/Stupidity, TimTim plucking Guitar/Vocals and Jordan Stubbs on Drums. Rarely sober the band’s infectious music invites even the most conservative wall flower to act stupid. One would expect the band to have influences like KISS, SLAYER, and Iron Maiden, but Trayne blames Hank Willams Jr. for much of his blue collar topics.

Puttin’On The Foil’s signature sound starts with Hank Williams, toss in some Ramones, thickened with Motorhead, and a dash of Nashville Pussy gives it that good time feel. Fans can be sure to understand the bands incredibly love of a good time from their music and live shows. Be sure to catch this three man circus on tour as the following dates below.

Music Video – ‘Clefs au Chambre de Tristêsse’ – http://www.nocleansinging.com/2015/04/03/an-ncs-video-premiere-idolatry-clefs-au-chambre-de-tristesse-a-key-to-the-room-of-sadness/

Edmonton, AB black metal outfit Idolatry, plan to keep their single ‘Clefs au Chambre de Tristêsse’ as exclusive as possible. Black metal is known for being notoriously esoteric and Idolatry’s single is only available digitally (to stream) through their music video. The video was created by NVS Productions from Nashville, Tennessee, who has also produced videos for Wormreich (US), Hades (Norway), and Borgne (Switzerland). The video showcases a terrifying nightmare of mirrored figures moving eerily in the darkness.

‘Clefs au Chambre de Tristêsse’ can be watched at the following link on NoCleanSinging.com: http://www.nocleansinging.com/2015/04/03/an-ncs-video-premiere-idolatry-clefs-au-chambre-de-tristesse-a-key-to-the-room-of-sadness/

‎”‘Clefs au Chambre de Tristêsse’ began as an unholy pact between Unrest and ourselves. It is a conjuration in french that weaves a tale of someone who has prepared a room to end their life in. Meticulously set up to capture the ultimate failure of hopes, lingerings and plans. A trembling hand holds the key towards the door… Knowing inside is finite.” comments Idolatry

The track’s introduction is sung in French while the second portion is a spoken word poem in English constructed by Lörd Matzigkeitus (vocals) called ‘Once Thought Of Webs.’ The band decided not to add this song to a future full length or EP, and instead as a stand alone track. When asked to comment the band simply stated “We have chosen to release this exclusively on limited run vinyl, hand numbered by the band. There will be no other versions available besides these and this decrepit, cryptic video by NVS Productions. Be haunted and suffer…..”

‘Infection Born of Ending’ a 7’ split with Columbus, Ohio black metal group Unrestfeaturing the unique Idolatry track is available to purchase through BigCartel. There will only be 40, hand numbered copies available. The split is available for pre-order April 3, 2015 and will be available June 2015.

Track Listing

Side A: Unrest – Of Filth

Side B: Idolatry – Clefs au Chambre de Tristêsse / …Once Thought of Webs

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.

Red Deer, AB groove metal five piece Leave The Living bring forth a blue-collar work ethic when it comes to making the ground shake before them. Gearing up for their 2015 debut album ‘Pacifist’ due out May 1st to follow up their 2012 self titled EP, LTL is looking forward to breaking necks with their punishing riffs and incredible breakdowns backed by wrenching screams and a heavier more brutal groove assault.

The band as unveiled their first single and title track from ‘Pacifist’ at the following links below.
