Canadian Melodic Death Metal LAIKA Reveal Artwork + Track Listing For New Album ‘Somnia’ Due Out Sept 30 On Filth Regime Records

Winnipeg, MB melodic death metal band LAIKA are proud to reveal to fans artwork and track listing for their new full length album ‘Somnia’ due out September 30, 2014 via Filth Regime Records.

“Here we are around the corner of Laika’s five year anniversary! What better way to celebrate than to deliver you an album we have been working on for the past 2 years. For this album we went above and beyond to bring the listener the best Laika we could. Enjoy Somnia.” 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.

“We are delighted to finally release and make available our first single, Get Me A Beer! off the new album, No Beer In Heaven. Although upbeat and cheerful, the song is representative of musicians having a jolly good time into the wee hours of the night; and what better way of prolonging the order of good cheer than strangers or fans fueling the fire by getting beer(s)? So in that regard, it’s a tongue-and-cheek look at mild alcoholism yet trying to overlook/deny it with a positive melody. Sneaky indeed, but in denial? I think not!” comments guitarist Martin Drozd.

The follow up to 2011’s ‘Marzena’ EP and 2009’s debut ‘Ancestral Anthems’, this upcoming full length ‘No Beer In Heaven’ by the Eastern European transplants is a twelve track adventurous trek, diving into themes of drinking, history and human endeavor. Mixing a duo vocal attack of melodic operatics plus woodwinds from Ekaterina Pyatkova and high spirited chanting growls from guitarist Martin Drozd, Protokult showcase a diversified and powerful engagement that includes the shredding of guitarist Vodnik, the pounding force of Mike Matveev on drums and the grooves of bassist Dawid Slowiak.

In additional news, PROTOKULT will be performing a Toronto CD release show on July 26th for hometown fans at Bovine Sex Club with support from locals Primalfrost, Tsargrad and Montreal’s Karkaos. (show details can found here)

About:

As interests in history, paganism and folklore took an increasingly strong hold on folk metallers PROTOKULT, the band was inspired to unleash its debut album, Ancestral Anthems. With the first two pressings selling out in months, they vowed to take things to the next level while continuing to deliver a unique mix of Canadian and international influences.PROTOKULT’s goal? To unite its members’ diverse cultures into one sound, balancing tradition and folklore with heavy, thrash and black metal for headbangers everywhere.Over the past few years, the ever-evolving PROTOKULT has graced the stage with the likes of ARKONA, TURISAS, ALESTORM, BLACKGUARD (formerly Profugus Mortis) and WILL OF THE ANCIENTS and now they’re ready to unveil a full-length follow-up to 2011 EP Marzena.

With a beauty and the beast-like contrast between Ekaterina’s haunting vocals and the band’s metal onslaught, No Beer In Heaven, which is slated for an August 8 release, captures the reformed quintet at an all-time high, showcasing an impressive palette of entirely new compositions, and straps the listener on an adventurous, heavy and experimental trek, diving into themes of drinking, history and human endeavor.
