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.

New Music Video ‘Searing Cital’ Unleashed By Death Doomers PSYCHOTIC GARDENING + ‘Hymnosis’ Ontario/Quebec Tour
L-R – Matt Penner (Drums) – Mike Janssen (Bass) – Gillishammer (Vocals) – Chuck Labossiere (Guitar/Vocals) – Andrew Wiens (Guitar) – Photo Credit: Barry McCaulkner
Winnipeg, MB death doom metal band Psychotic Gardening has unleashed a very dark music video for one of their doom-iest tracks ‘Searing Cital’ from their latest album ‘Hymnosis’, which the band is touring Ontario and Quebec in support of from August 14th to August 24th.
Guitarist Andrew Wiens comments:
“This video came together spontaneously – we came across this really creepy scene on our way out to Farmageddon in Alberta earlier this year. There were these dead trees decorated with skulls, it was a just this strange place in a farmer’s field. It was seemingly there to worship death. I had to get out with my camera to shoot as much of it as possible. We felt like we were pushing to get anything at all and that a crazy murderous freak would come out at any moment to add our own skulls to the trees. We ended up shooting a storyline that tells the story of what we saw there and what it could mean. And of course we did it to the doom-iest of all the songs on the new album, Searing Cital.”

“The song (Origin of The Infection) alternately lumbers like a behemoth and hammers like a giant sledge on an anvil. A serpentine melody slithers it sway through the midst of all the gargantuan body blows, and the band’s vocal tandem of Gillishammer and Chuck Labossiere unleash a vicious assault. There’s enough groove in the song to split asphalt and enough dank atmosphere to rust iron.” – No Clean Singing
“nine tracks of pure, blistering doom/death metal” – Bloody-Disgusting
“If you’re into that old school feel, you don’t want to miss out on this release” – Counter Culture Nerd
“Psychotic Gardening has delivered a new LP, Hymnosis, that will become an instant favorite of metal heads. This is not a debatable statement but one of fact and I believe that you will join me in that statement as you listen to the well crafted progressions and pounding drums. Each cut takes on a life of it’s own and you can not only hear the procession but also feel it as well. Do yourself a favor and get this LP on May 13th. Words can not even describe how much I enjoyed listening to this brutal work of metal art but I hope that you understand where I’m going with it.” – Tommy Tee – Insane Realm Radio
“Without a doubt one of the albums that I most listened in the last few weeks, Hymnosis should quickly become a favourite. Altough it is way more death metal than doom, it carries the dark and heavy veil of death-doom, without getting depressive or negative. If death metal is your cup of tea but you dare trying a different flavour from time to time, Hymnosis is the perfect introduction to death-doom for you.” – Metal Made In Canada
“Psychotic Gardening mixes elements of death, doom, thrash and classic heavy metal with great results: Hymnosis is nothing short of incredible. The first big highlight of summer 2014.” – Emurg
“Now the next leading act in the Canadian scene has certainly impressed me and given me hope for the vast land to churn out a lot of good music in the years to come. By that I am referring to blackened doom metal outfit: Psychotic Gardening and their fourth album: HYMNOSIS. This very impressive release opens with very loud, fast and extremely heavy black metal tunes from the first track.” – The Independent Voice
“Opening cut “Origin of the Infection” is crushing from the jump and you can tell right away this is a quality production with a rich sound.” – Wormwood Chronicles
“I enjoyed every track on this release, from the opener ‘Origin Of The Infection’ which was recently released as a single, the terror filled ‘Defile’, ‘Re-Hybridized Strain’, with its slower tempo and darkly lamenting feel, completed with the addition of haunting guitar work and ‘Mindfold’, with an intriguing mix of psychedelic and crushing, doom laden death Metal….’Hymnosis’ is a fascinating, unnerving, atmospheric and enjoyable listen.” – Metal Talk
“Psychotic Gardening is unbelievable…fertile gothic doom metal form with deep, bottom dwelling crooner vocals backed by solid percussion, incredible keys and slashing guitar riffs.” – Uptown Mag
“Be sure to see Psychotic Gardening when they invade your town or city. The being in the sky orders you to see them or be prepared to pay with your soul!” – Metal Master Kingdom
“Psychotic Gardening has always been able to deliver crushing, mid-tempo, heavy madness and this teaser tells me its next album won’t disappoint, more info to come!” – Metal Made In Canada
“Menacing, frequently unnerving and atmospheric…” – Winnipeg Sun

About: Bridging the gap between metal and rock with help from dual guitar harmonies, pounding drum lines and wide-ranging vocal harmonies, Calgary’sThrone of Vengeance released their EP ‘Live Evil’ on October 19, 2013 that echoes the band’s signature thrash-tinged rock.
“‘Live Evil’ is “a collection of songs based on our experiences in the last two years, covering everything from a close friend’s imprisonment for a victim-less crime to the realization of humanity’s demise to the contrast between good and evil and life and death,” says drummer Trevor Cobb.
“If there’s anything we would like people to take away from the record, it’s that you should be your own person, do what makes you happy, be aware of your world and be real. We have the power to control our own destiny. Together, we are more powerful than any world leader.”
Having shared the stage with numerous legends over the years, including Kill Devil Hill, 3 Inches Of Blood and Steven Pearcy of RATT, Throne of Vengeance is ready to take things to a whole new level with Live Evil. Are you ready for a major ‘bangover’?

“Calgary metal band Throne of Vengeance rule the local rock scene with heart and soul…Recorded with Emmy-winning producer Paul Sabu, who recorded the band’s 2011 debut Flesh Engine and has worked with such names as David Bowie, Alice Cooper, Shania Twain and Prince, it captures Throne of Vengeance’s sound in a huge, warm and oh-so slick way. It’s all pro from the get-go.” – Calgary Herald
“the record follows their 2009 EP Toxic Black Cloud and 2011’s Flesh Engine and delivers the thrash-tinged classic metal for which the quartet is renowned.” – Beatroute
“One of the keys to Throne Of Vengeance’s energy and drive lies in their passion…masters of their own domain…Their work is solid and I recommend you check them out” – Beatroute Magazine
“Calgary has an amazing music scene, and in my opinion, if you want to listen to great metal music in this city, this is the band that you need to see.” – X92.9 FM
“The band have hit the sweet spot of heaviness and melody that is hard to find. They have had a considerable amount of local success and LIVE EVIL will help them continue to build on that…this piece is rock solid release with excellent production and a good mix and balance of the instruments. The band tapped Paul Sabu (Only Child, ex-Malice) and countless production credits of big name artists like Alice Cooper. The songs range from mid-tempo to quite a bit faster, songs like ‘Hands Tied’ almost creeping almost in that power metal speed zone. The quartet use some gang-vocals a bit to back up vocalist Tommy. The band also will throw in a hint of acoustic guitar once in a while as well adding to the rock end of the spectrum.” – Metal-Rules
“…they joyously pay homage to their influences while creating their own distinctive sound…there are no lowlights and no filler tracks – each song is a mighty entity unto itself and worthy of your ears.” – Extreme Metal Television
“Whether you are a die-hard metal fan, or prefer rock n’ roll, Throne of Vengeance is the perfect blend of both… a great album to put on if you’re going to get together with friends, have a barbecue and drink beer. It feels like a summer album, and I would recommend it to anyone interested in feel-good thrash rock.” – Vancouver Metal
“The band is perfect for fans of classic metal such as Dio, Iron Maiden and Megadeth.” – Canadian Music News
““Live Evil” features seven hard rock songs including my two favourites, “Live Evil” and “Terminal Velocity”. One thing that I really enjoy about this album is that guitar reminds me of classic metal. You can feel the passion and drive in the songs.” – Canadian Beats
“Their shows are energetic, well-attended and the crowd absolutely loves them…I’ll babysit those maniacs anytime!..One of the few metal bands out there who are 100% convincing in that they genuinely LOVE what they do, and it shows.” – Philly Roach, Owner/Operator – The Distillery Rock & Roll Ballroom, Calgary
