About:

Formed when three Newfoundlanders crossed paths in the Canadian heavy metal capital with Ahmed Saad who hails from the Middle East, the injection of music immediately began to flow through their veins and M.E.C.H. metal was soon born.

“It stands for Middle East Coast Heavy Metal; Our drummer being from the Middle East and the rest of the members being from the east coast of Canada,” explains Stephen Reynolds (bass, vocals). ‘Every single person in this band is a songwriter, so the songs come out with their own feel and develop naturally.’ continues Reynolds. ‘We don’t shackle ourselves to any kind of focused idea, which brings about a sort of honesty in the music not often found in metal.’

     Winnipeg, MB melodic death metal band LAIKA are proud to premiere their latest track ‘The Immortal’ via NoCleanSinging.com in promotion of their forthcoming full length album ‘Somnia’ due out September 30, 2014 on Filth Regime Records. To listen to the ear assaulting brutality, please visit the following link: http://www.nocleansinging.com/2014/08/14/an-ncs-premiere-laika-the-immortal/ 

“The immortal is a track that touches the subject of the capacity of human strength. How far ones willing to go and pushing that thought until it leads to loss of life or some other extreme.  Something we all witness in day to day life.  This track is one of our favorites on the album and really shows the dynamic that Laika has as a whole.” comments vocalist Jordan Dorge.

Founded in 2009 as a six-piece and named after the Soviet dog who became one of the first animals to travel to space, the band unleashed a self-released album in 2010, then hit the road, sharing the stage with the likes of All Shall Perish, Kataklysm, Necronomicon and Unleash the Archers, before temporarily backing away from the spotlight.

Driven by a thirst for evolution, LAIKA spent two years constructing and writing its upcoming full-length album, ‘Somnia’, filling it with melodic hooks, ominous keys and lyrics that are bound to get stuck in listeners’ heads to an almost maddening degree. Brace yourself, as this fall; LAIKA will hit the scene hard, just like they did all those years ago.

    Edmonton, AB based death metal trio turned four piece Display of Decay has teamed up withNefariousRealm.com to stream their latest single, ‘Manchurian Candidate’, which holds the key to massive subliminal infection for all who sample it here: http://nefariousrealm.com/homenew/?p=20893 

Their upcoming EP ‘Outbreak of Infection’ is scheduled to be unleashed August 26, 2014 with two live festivals paired around the same time. Additionally, the band’s live show is going to grow with the addition of a new guitarist, Jeremy Puffer, who also plays in Valyria.

Jeremy had this to say about joining the band, “Well I’m personally pretty excited on it as I have been a fan of them since I discovered the metal scene of Edmonton, I feel it’s a great opportunity to gain experience, see the band potentially evolve and immerse myself in the scene more. I admire their spirit of staying true and keeping to their roots and how humble they are as people. I’m also having a blast learning and playing their stuff, it’s nice to change things up and perform one of my favorite metal styles as their new guitarist.”

They welcome their new guitarist to perform live at Harvesting Hell with Origin and The Faceless an Edmonton Metal festival from August 22 – August 24 at The Pawn Shop Live.

About:

In 2007, Edmonton, AB underwent one of the most notable natural disasters in history. An earthquake split the city in two, and chaos ran amok through the streets.

Alas…such things are bound to happen when DISPLAY OF DECAY takes the stage. Handcrafted by Hell’s most elite demons, DISPLAY OF DECAY is noted for bringing a unique blend of old school death metal, blended with tinges of thrash and doom metal. The band has spread their infection across Western Canada over the years, sharing the stage alongside other local elite acts such as, Disciples of Power and Into Eternity.

After unleashing three well received indie releases, DISPLAY OF DECAY is currently gearing up for their next follow up “Outbreak of Infection”, an EP featuring five brutal tracks that includes an annihilating rendition of KISS’ ‘Black Diamond’.  Set to riot mosh pits officially August 26, 2014, DISPLAY OF DECAY is eagerly preparing to tour Western Canada in 2014 to promote their best work to date.

RIYL (Recommended If You Like) = Deicide, Immolation, Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse, Cryptopsy

“Outbreak of Infection, a mid-paced slab of brutality in the vein of Deicide, Cannibal Corpse, and Nile. Showing they wear their influences on their sleeves, this trio also sounds nothing like the aforementioned bands at times, their own sound gleaming vile from the pile of corpses they wear.” – Crown of Viserys

 

“This is a real listenable EP due to is crunchy drive and catchy rhythms. It is Brutal Death Metal but it has the kind of songs you could put in a zombie film for added tension and brutality…The guttural vocals are strong low and perfect for these tracks.  This is an EP you can throw in and listen to all five songs, the last of which is a Kiss cover Black Diamond.” – Blackened Horde
