FAYNE Offer Free Download ‘Believers’ From Upcoming EP ‘The Queen of Kings’ Due Out Nov 20th

FREE DOWNLOAD – Believers – http://faynemusic.bandcamp.com/track/believers 

       After a being on hiatus since 2008 to reform in 2013 with a renewed hunger and dedication, Montreal, QC metal-core quintet Fayne are returning to the Canadian metal scene with their third EP ‘The Queen of Kings’ due out digitally on November 20th, 2014 via Crystal Math. The EP is the follow up to their 2004 debut ‘You Took it All Away’ and 2006’s ‘Delivering The Final Blow’ that lead the band on multiple Canadian tours plus opening slots to support bands like Alexisonfire, Underoath, Hopesfall and Blessed By A Broken Heart.

Delivering a metal sound coupled with melodic, attitude-fueled breakdowns to compliment their high energy performances full of positive vibes, and ridiculously powerful guitar solos. Fayne is getting the mosh pit ready for fans with a FREEdownload of their track ‘Believers’ at the following link here in addition to performing their CD release party in Montreal on November 20th at La Vitrola. Tickets and show details can be found here.

“Believers is a song we can all identify with. The constant struggle to stick to your guns and create the path you were meant to take without being held back. The positive support of loved ones is what we all long for. It reassures us with the decisions we make and gives us a purpose to what we do. The fast paced start to laid back ending will make you feel at ease with the choices you’ve made.” comments drummer Carlo De Iuliis.

Heavily influenced by bands such as Counterparts, Mastodon, and Periphery, ‘The Queen of Kings’ features a special guest appearance by Misery Signals vocalist Karl Schubach on their track Nomad’s Land plus was produced by guitarist Alex Gonzalez with the help from Alan Douches of West West Side Music (Dillinger Escape Plan, Every Time I Die, Between the Buried and Me) for the final mastering.

Hitting the stage a few times already this year, supporting well-known bands such as Vanna and Ontario’s own Sleep When You’re Dead plus their most notable performance in 2014 was a first-ever appearance at the electronic dub-step outdoor festival, Valhalla Sound Circus.  The excitement of a metal band at an electro-fest had the festival’s headlining DJ/producer P0gman injure himself during Fayne’s set. The attention has secured them a spot on the 2015 Valhalla line-up, as well as a chance to support some bigger acts. Fayne has plans to tour Eastern Canada and launching their first official music video to support ‘The Queen of Kings’. What you need to know is that Fayne is back from the dead and ready to deliver chaos to the masses. Stay tuned.

“I was just impressed all around with how well these guys go together. Their chemistry on stage, musically, and physically is something I haven’t seen in a while.  Their music collides with an influence of Misery Signals meets Pantera. They are known for blending in sick guitar solos with heavier strums, melancholic/mean vocals and an insane amount of energy. When I mentioned throughout the day to a few friends I was checking these dudes out, I got a lot of “Those guys are awesome!” – clearly a good fan base as well. Congrats guys.” – (Live Review 2013) – Bucket List Music Reviews

About:

What started as two brothers and their best friend getting together for some freestyle jams and demo recordings in 2005 soon evolved into enough written material for two EPs and the birth of a new full-blown band, Blind Race, in 2007.

Drawing inspiration from their love of fast cars and the intrigue of driving them blind, as well as modern-day racial issues and the idea that we are all the same, the award nominated (Toronto Independent Music Awards: Best Live Metal Act Nomination (2012), Best Metal Act Nomination (2010)), Blind Race arrived at a name packed with meaning to match its melting pot sound.

Putting emphasis on musical identity and creativity, the then Toronto four-piece released Seeing Red in 2008, unleashed Lost in 2012 and grew to a five piece that is now ready to unveil its third EP, Come and Get It.

Going back to raw, air thrusting, 7-string powered tracks such as “Come and Get It” and “Hypocrite” to eastern influenced charismatic progressions in “Truth or Dare” and Latin derived contrasts of “Hopeless”, this EP is just the tip of the iceberg, which is the diverse style of Blind Race. All the music in this EP was written using a very simple philosophy by guitar player Costas Kentros. Just play what you feel. “With the initial riff of each song, the gates just opened and the music flowed out and created a statement for each song.  From love to hate, to truth or dare, standing your ground and those times when you just want to kill the pain with a bottle of Jack.  These songs cover our most common situations and emotions.” says Kentros.

“or those of you who are unfamiliar with the band, I would describe their sound as something like a mix between VOLBEAT and GODSMACK, but noticeably heavier and with a much more serious tone. There is also a prominent groove element present, particularly in the hostile, no-nonsense opener “Hypocrite” as well as the blistering riffs of the high-octane title track. I know that Metal fans pride their music on remaining mostly an underground phenomenon, but I could totally hear these guys on the radio, which I don’t say to simply lump them in with the legions of today’s jock-rock bands. They definitely have the songs to back up their superb musicianship, with a precise yet pummeling rhythm section synchronized expertly with the guitar riffs.” – Metal Temple

 

“…the latest effort from BLIND RACE paints the picture of a band firing on all cylinders. A mature, dynamic, and memorable release, fans of Alternative and traditional Heavy Metal alike will find a lot to like on “Come And Get It.”” – Metal Temple

 

“I would encourage anyone to take the time to check out the Come And Get It EP as you will find yourself quickly drawn in.” – The Front Row Report

 

“strong, aggressive, and hard driving. The first two tracks especially deliver a heavy punch, the kind of thing that will certainly get audiences roused and ready to stomp about….The guitar solo on that track (Hopeless), however, was well worth a listen. It’s a highlight of the album; check it out.” – Sea of Tranquility

 

“these songs (EP Come And Get it) should appeal to fans of Godsmack, Bobaflex and Five Finger Death Punch.” – Palace of Rock

 

“Blind Race blast out sustain driven and acoustically inspired slabs of no nonsense rock, heavily influenced by 90’s masters but embed with a new energy that make them deserving of a massive following”  – Spenny Bullen

 

“a great connection with the audience at the Velvet Underground. The crowd got really engaged in the concert when Blind Race played their metal cover version of Elvis Presley‘s ”Hound Dog;” a fine version spiced up with a little bit of heavy guitar and double pedal bass drums.” – Toronto Metal Music Examiner (Live Review)
