Progressive Metallers id. Streaming ‘id. entity’ From Upcoming EP ‘Sagittarius A’ Due Out Feb. 10th
Song Stream – id. entity – https://idmusic9.bandcamp.com/track/id-entity
Set to unleash their debut EP ‘Sagittarius A’ on Feb 10, 2015, Vancouver, BC’s id. is a multi-layered metal force with its progressive, heavy and catharsis songwriting inspired by Sigmund Freud’s theory on the levels of the human psyche. As they introduce their subconscious tendencies on their upcoming four track debut EP that touches on topics such as inner struggle, world views, self-awareness to what’s beyond in outer space. They are sharing with metal fans their latest single ‘id. entity’, which is streaming at the following link here.
“id.entity is not only a multiple play on words, but a coming out party for self awareness.” comments vocalist Jason Pennington.
With more songs in their arsenal for a full length to follow this EP and influenced by bands such as Opeth, Mastodon, Devin Townsend, Gojira, and Augury, id is sharing with metallers what’s to come as they push forward to put themselves on the map. Employing a style that is different compared to other progressive bands, id. transcend genres with a line up of Vancouver metal scene veterans that includes lyricist and vocalist Jason Pennington (Makaria), drummer Kris DeBoer (Grudge, Infernal Majesty, Artep), rhythm guitarist Tyson Araszewski (AutumnEx) and guitarist Alex Dubreuil (My Own Chaos) who also does bass on the EP.
Band Fact: The story behind the EP Title: ‘Sagittarius A’ is the name of the black hole in the center of our galaxy. The idea comes from a fundamental belief in a scientific world view, free of religious influence and tyranny. It outlines how people are susceptible to believe things without evidence if it appeals to their vanity, as opposed to being presented with evidence and being able to accept something that is inherently contradictory to their intuition.

“As hard hitting as Opeth and as guttural as you can be, while still maintaining the complexity of progressive music.” – DJ Vengeance, Midlands Metalheads Radio
“Progressive Metal band id. and their brand new EP, entitled Sagittarius A, which will take you on a relatively short but very interesting expedition through several music genres, from World Music to Death Metal. Longtime fans of Opeth, Gojira and Mastodon will quickly fall in love with id., while others might be positively surprised with the depth offered in the music by this Vancouver-based group.” – The Headbanging Moose

Bloody-Disgusting.com has teamed up with ARBITRATOR to premiere their new lyric video ‘Stillborn Bastard of The Nazarene’, which is off the band’s upcoming debut album ‘Indoctrination of Sacrilege’ due out on February 13th.
“‘SBOTN’ was the last song written for the album and by far the strongest testament to the future of the Arbitrator sound. Upon its completion, I knew that writing for the album had to be concluded, as it brought about such a strong revelation of musical direction for me. It’s heavy, epic, catchy, and above all… unforgivably hateful. Jorgan Redick’s tastefully crafted lyric video brings the track nothing but justice.” comments band founder Robert Kukla.
You can check out the lyric video at the following link here.
The album is produced by Sacha Laskow (ex-Divinity, Every Hour Kills) plus mastered byJens Bogren (Opeth, Katatonia, Amon Amarth, Arch Enemy) along with album artwork done by Colin Marks (Exodus, Scar Symmetry, Jeff Loomis). ARBITRATOR is a project that began in late 2010 as the brainchild of Robert Kukla and officially debut in 2011 with the release “The Consummate Ascendancy” with former drummer Corey Chernesky. The new arsenal of ARBITRATOR features Robert Kukla on rhythm guitar, bass and vocals with drummer Dirk Verbeuren (Soilwork, ex-Devin Townsend Project, ex-Aborted), Myles Malloy on lead guitar and Connor ORT Linning for programming.

“These well crafted songs have an infectious groove to them, these riffs are punishing, the drums are precise and effective, the vocals are raw and full of anger and the soaring keyboards life the songs to new heights; they give the album a grandiose feel, full of ominous presence.” – Devils Gate Media
“”The consummate ascendancy” is a fucken impressive first step and I wish the guy all the fucken best with his future endeavors. The talent is there, and obviously – so is the will.” – Global Domination
“…it quickly becomes clear that Arbitrator is more than just another death metal band. These guys are not afraid to put some experiments into their music and they still know via these two long, rather unusual songs how to make a decent impression.” – Lords of Metal
“Honestly, I’d love to hear more of this, so let’s hope Arbitrator can latch onto a label, fill out their line-up, and get working on a full-length follow-up to this very promising debut EP.” – Sea of Tranquility
