“We are so excited and thankful to have been nominated for an Edmonton Music Award Metal Recording of the Year for our track ‘AntiMartyr’ from ‘Fucktropolis’. Big congrats to our friends who also got nominations as well at the awards (Death Toll Rising, Russ Dawson, and Thrill House). We are really proud of this recording and thank everyone that had a part in making it happen.” comments vocalist/ guitarist, Barrett Klesko.

Nominees List: http://2014edmontonmusicawards.blogspot.ca/2014/02/and-nominees-are.html

AEF released their latest EP ‘Fucktropolis’ on Suicidal Bride Records during summer 2013 and recently released their latest music video ‘A Most Unwanted Reprieve’.

“This new video is different for us because it’s all live footage filmed during our set at Loud as Hell Metal Fest in Drumheller, AB last summer and obviously the fans played a big part in how it came out. We are also debuting our new VEVO channel with this one. We’d like to wish all our fans a Merry Fucking Christmas from All Else Fails!” comments All Else Fails vocalist / guitarist and video director Barrett Klesko.

The fourth release since 2007 , ‘Fucktropolis’ is the follow up to the band’s 2012 release ‘The Oracle, What Was, Is And Could Have Been’ that received world wide praise from industry publications around the world along with their music video ‘This Burden of Life‘ added to rotation on Canada’s largest music channel Much Music, expanding their Canadian fan base dramatically.

Making their mark around the world for their aggressively dark brand of metal that is breaking the traditional ideals of their genre and drawing comparisons to bands like As I Lay Dying, All That Remains, Killswitch Engage, Lamb of God. All Else Fails infuses their music with a variety of elements that includes experimental, classical, synth lines, and spoken word sampling to accent a unique blend of heavy as hell screams and shiver inducing clean vocals.

Their high energy live show sets them apart from their peers and has garnered them appearances on numerous high level festivals over the years, including Van’s Warped tour, Boonstock and opening support slots for artists like Protest the Hero, Cancer Bats, Dayglo Abortions, 3 Inches of Blood, Fear Factory, Threat Signal, Decapitated, Suffocation, and Arise & Ruin.

Rising up the ladder of the Canadian metal scene with their latest album ‘Infection Legacy’ unleashed last October, Death Toll Rising won praise in 2013 from fans, metal publications, and support from Canadian Loud Charts (Highlight: #3 on December 2013 Top 20 Loud Charts – Canadian College Radio – (Earshot) & Highlight: #11 on November 2013 Top 20 Loud Charts – Canadian College Radio – (Earshot)). Now with an upcoming tour with Kataklysm and Aborted on select dates during the ‘Kill The Elite Tour’. The indie force is proud to announce hometown endorsement and nomination for ‘Metal Recording of The Year’ from the Edmonton Music Awards.

Drew Copland, guitarist for DTR comments:

“It is a great honour for us to be nominated for an Edmonton Music Award. We have been a part of this city’s music scene for over a decade now and we are proud to represent it alongside some other amazing bands! We would like to extend a huge high five to our local fanbase for always supporting us and sticking with us. It took some time to get Infection Legacy out there, but we poured our heart and soul into it, and just being nominated is very gratifying for us! “

The band comments:

“We are absolutely pumped to be supporting Kataklysm and Aborted on select Western Canadian dates of the KILL THE ELITE spring tour 2014!! Both of these acts have been major influences on us over the last 10 years. We will be alongside Vancity’s stay tech masters, Archspire getting everyone primed to be wiped out by the headliners!”

About: Featuring a combination of death and thrash metal, the Edmonton-based band are known to devastate their audiences with their high octane performances that has lead them to share the stage over the years with high profile names such as Kataklysm, Cryptopsy, The Haunted, and Aborted (to name a few).

Originally formed in 2003 in Stony Plain, AB, Canada, Death Toll Rising have been grinding the Western Canadian metal scene steadily, gaining huge momentum over the last 3 years. New addition Tylor Dory on guitars has introduced a technical and progressive element to the band they have not had in the past. Add in the intense and relentless drumming provided by Bryan Newbury (recently recruited by Canadian prog/death powerhouse INTO ETERNITY), as well as the well-rounded rhythm provided by Drew Copland on guitar and Mike Puff on bass, and you get a monster that is only now being unleashed upon the masses with vocalist Jesse Berube topping things off with a combination of brutal death growls and Tomas Lindberg-esqe high shrieks, which will be plenty noticeable on their new album ‘Infection Legacy’.

Full album stream of ‘Infection Legacy’ can be listened on Beatroute Magazine here or Soundcloud here along with being purchased on Bandcamp here.

Track Listing: Infection Legacy

Winnipeg’s ENDLESS CHAOS Offer Second Free Download From Upcoming EP ‘Rejected Atrocity’

Winnipeg death thrash outfit Endless Chaos is proud to offer their next brutal track and FREE download ‘Sacrificial Ritual’ from their forthcoming EP ‘Rejected Atrocity’. The aural assault follows the release of the title track and is the second of three FREE tracks presented from the EP before its March 4th release date. In addition to the EP being available digitally, limited edition vinyl (200 copies) will be released on Filth Regime Records at a later date in March.

“‘Sacrificial Ritual’ gives a further glimpse into the perverse mind of Endless Chaos and really showcases the band’s true sound. Evil, vicious and unrelenting. With heavy inspiration from Clive Barker’s Hellraiser, dive down into the hell and listen to Sacrificial Ritual.” comments vocalist Jordan Dorge.

The EP was inspired by one of the finest horror movies of all time, Re-Animator, and after sharing the stage with well known bands such as Skeletonwitch, 3 Inches of Blood, Wretched, Aborted and Kataklysm, the band’s direction was clear to set out to carefully craft their debut EP, ‘Rejected Atrocity’.
