More Bands Added To OBSCENE EXTREME AMERICA! ARCHAGATHUS, SOOTHSAYER, ABDICATE, DECHE CHARGE

And the brutality keeps on coming! Obscene Extreme America has added more bands to this year’s line up for its fest taking place from August 20-23 in Montreal, QC.

Announced this week are:

ARCHAGATHUS

10 YEARS OF MINCEGORE PARTY AT OBSCENE EXTREME AMERICA!!! ARCHAGATHUS!!!

The flamboyant Manitoban grinders ARCHAGATHUS will be making their first east coast appearance in Montreal as they will be celebrating their 10 years anniversary of the most sleazy, demented mincecore tunes. Sounding like they`re straight from the sewers, these grotesque punks bring the party to OEF with their gutter riffs, repulsive vocals & groovy tunes overpopulated by perversion.

SOOTHSAYER

ANGRY AS FUCK ‘80S CULT CANADIAN THRASH MANIACS!!! SOOTHSAYER!!!

The troop of hate is back with some of the most devastating old school thrash metal tunes that Canada has to offer. Creating a climax of terror in 1986 with their first demo “To be a real terrorist”, SOOTHSAYER returns in 2012 with their latest album “Troops of Hate”. The roughest intesity is what you’ll get!!!

ABDICATE

GET YOUR DAILY DOSE OF SONIC TORTURE WITH BRUTAL DEATH NEW YORKERS!!! ABDICATE!!!

Old school slamming death metal with crushing guitar tones, choleric vocals& punishing blast beats is what you can expect from this NYDM act. Unflinching brutality is what ABDICATE are praised for and you will feel their wrath at OEF when their slamming tunes come crushing your face like a ton of bricks.

DECHE CHARGE

25 YEARS OF TOTAL NOISE ANNIHILATION! DECHE-CHARGE!!!

While far too many bands falsely claim allegiance to “anti-music”, Quebec City, Canada’s DECHE-CHARGE have remained true to their essence over the last two and a half decades, consistantly obliterating any semblance of what could be considered listenable; alienating even the most hardened extreme musick enthousiasts. Obscene Extreme will be no exception as these “deche-cores” will hit the stage for what promises to be the most unrehearsed and ridiculous performance ever seen on an OEF stage!!!

Bands previously announced to the fest line up are:

AGATHOCLES

AGGRESSION 

BIOLOGICAL MONTROSITY

CORRUPT LEADERS 

CREATIVE WASTE

DEBONED

DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTION

DROPDEAD 

FUCK THE FACTS

FULL OF HELL

GOEMAGOT

About: 

Obscene Extreme Festival comes to Canada! August 20-23, the Obscene Extreme World Tour will be stopping by Montreal, Quebec for a weekend of extreme music madness!


Get your gore grind banana suit ready, put on your gas mask or your most comfortable stage diving costume and get psyched for a wide selection of underground acts. The first Canadian edition of this DIY party will bring the best of grindcore, crust, punk, death, thrash, hardcore, and everything in-between to the stage.

The Obscene Extreme Festival began in the Czech Republic in 1999, and over the past 16 years, more than 700 bands from all over the world have rocked its stage. The Obscene Extreme World Tour was born 2 years ago out of the desire to bring the carnage to extreme music fans worldwide. After Mexico, Indonesia, Australia, and Japan, the festival is bringing the blasting madness of Obscene Extreme to Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Get ready for a 4 day trip of fast, brutal, and destructive musical violence.

5 reasons the Obscene Extreme World Tour is going to blow your mind:

1. Truly underground.
Obscene Extreme is one of the few truly underground festivals to unite big, genre-defining bands, and small, cult bands.

2. Vegan-friendly.
Whatever you do or don’t do, believe or practice, you’re welcome at Obscene Extreme.

3. Fair ticket price.
No massive booking agent or energy drink mega-festival bullshit, Obscene Extreme is affordable for everyone.

4. No shitty rules, no shitty security.
Stage diving, stage invasions and more, all welcome. Obscene Extreme treats you like people and doesn’t stop you having fun.

5. Grindcore carnival.
Wear a gasmask, dress as a goregrind banana, Obscene Extreme is more than a festival – it’s a party!

    Montreal, QC prog power metal band Elderoth has teamed up with Metal-Rules.com to premiere their second single ‘My Future’ from their forthcoming sophomore release‘Mystic’ due out April 28th to follow up their 2012 self-titled debut. Check it out at thislocation.

Founding member and mastermind behind Elderoth, Collin McGee comments:

“When I wrote My Future. I was actually having a lot of issues going across my mind. Mostly things about moving on from past relationships or friendships. I never quite wrote a song about this kind of subject before but I find it’s always interesting to try something new. Especially just as long as I find it’s natural and appropriate. The overall sound of this song is a little bit inspired from In The Rain from the first album, except with a few new dynamics to it. Some of the more obvious new dynamics would be the far eastern influences and the added syncopation. Overall, I’m very satisfied with how this song turned out. It’s definitely a song that sticks in my mind.”

Engineering a unique style of metal music with oriental instruments from East Asia,Elderoth intertwine modern North American and European styles in a must-hear album with each track flowing across to the next to create a dynamic taste for fans. Featuring intense guitar licks, complex keyboard arrangements and powerful rhythms, Elderothdelivers a challenging sound that is catching the attention of metal aficionados, guitarists and professional musicians around the world for its pinnacle of musicianship, composition and technical ingenuity.

The band’s 2015 lineup features founding member Collin McGee on guitars and vocals with Xavier Sperdouklis on bass, Vincent Harnois on guitars and Jessy Normand on drums. Mcgee, the man behind the vision of Elderoth is the primary author, composer, lead guitarist, and singer. Through his years of being self-taught, studying music theory and composing endlessly, McGee has mastered composition on guitar and other instruments at a world-class level, along with writing lyrics and developing his vocals to a professional level that stands out in the audio mix both live and in the studio.

About:

Over the last few years, the Ottawa, ON based rock nerds have toured across Canada six times, twice in the UK and the States, performing 500+ shows over 100,000 miles and sharing the stage with such acts as Silverstein, Hawthorne Heights, Every Time I Die, Dead and Divine, Lifestory:Monologue to name a few. Their new album ‘721835’ is a curious collection of songs that are inspired by everything the band loves and considers nerdy. Showcasing a creative sound influenced by geeky comic books, trading cards, classic 8 bits games to today’s future 3D experiences, the album follows up their 2011 EP ‘One Big Quicksand’ recorded and produced by Jayson DeZuzio (Coheed and Cambria, My Chemical Romance) that was released via Blue Sapphire/Universal Music Canada.

“Nerds from our great neighbors from the North can rock!  Double XP is a lot more than a couple of gamers with instruments.  Their upcoming album goes to show that gamers really do have feelings, and they are not ashamed to talk about em!” Royal Flush Magazine

“Their debut album “721835” consists of a fairly ballsy bunch of well-written alternative rock ‘n’ roll songs with cheeky riffs and ambitious vocal melodies. The lyrics might very well have been inspired by nerdy things and contain plenty of references that can be cherished by fellow nerds, but at the same time they are written in a way that succeeds in communicating extremely relatable feelings and experiences.” – Rock Freaks

“They’re a quartet who embrace their nerdy credentials, and luckily for those who may be concerned also know how to knock out some chunky riffs and melody lines.” – Screamer Magazine

“I recommend checking out “721835” if you enjoy rock music, Fall Out Boy, or simply love the combination of music and gaming/comic books/trading cards/etc.” – Canadian Beats

“Good songwriters…I think [Double Experience] are next. They’re going to do very well and I’m very excited about that.” – Jayson DeZuzio, producer (Coheed and Cambria, My Chemical Romance, Four Year Strong)

“The most genuine and down to earth band I’ve ever had to work with, load-in and sound checks were quick and easy with this bunch and they are some of the most hard working guys we as a venue have ever had the pleasure of the working with. Having traveled so far, and never played Swansea… prior to the show we were very unsure as to which way the event would turnout. But sure enough, [the band] did not disappoint. Playing to a pretty full room of Welsh fans singing and dancing along, throwing in a cover by Queen to really get them going. As a promoter and venue owner, I would recommend booking this band to anyone in the world, they definitely will not disappoint.” – William Sheldon, Promoter & Venue Owner – Static Bar, Swansea UK

“It’s rare that a band like Double Experience come along so we’re going to cherish them while they can still call themselves an ‘upcoming’ band because it won’t be long before they’re playing sold out massive shows. Great band, highly recommended.” – Andrew Dutton, Promoter – The Square, Harlow UK

NoCleanSinging.com – Helleborus – Coils – http://www.nocleansinging.com/2015/03/26/an-ncs-premiere-and-a-free-download-helleborus-coils/

      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 debut to the metal world, Helleborus has teamed up with NoCleanSinging.com for the exclusive premiere and free download of their track ‘Coils‘ available at the following link here.

“Coils is the most universal offering in our continuous developing sound. It’s driven by a dark stream of inventive instrumental extravagance and the kind of creative power that romanticizes the listener. With catchy melodic grooves and blackened chords we desire to express something fresh and unconventional to our audience. We explore a lot of contrasting resonations that you may not expect to hear from a traditional black metal outfit. This is only one song we have planned from our upcoming album; each will tell their own cryptic story. We are extremely proud of this project and look forward to developing it further with fans watching and listening.” comments vocalist / lyricist Wyatt Houseman.

‘Coils’ is one of many songs the brothers plan to unleash on their soon to be finished debut full length ‘The Carnal Sabbath’, 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.

Album Band Line Up features: Wyatt (vocals, lyrics) & Jerred Houseman (producer, all instruments)
