Bolero Release “Pints Held High” Music Video

The symphonic Celtic death metallers of Toronto, ON based BOLERO have released their new music video “Pints Held High” online in support of their debut release “Voyage From Vinland”.

“We (Bolero) are extremely happy and excited to have finally released our debut music video! The filming went very smoothly over the production period and we can’t be any happier with the work by director/ producer Garrett Henry provided us with.” commented vocalist/bassist Morgan Rider.

Upcoming Show Dates:

September 22 – Oshawa, ON @ The Green Bottle *Free Show
September 23 – Toronto, ON @ Blue Moon
September 24 – Sudbury, ON @ Serbian Center
September 25 – TBA

BIO: It’s the question all bands get asked at some point, and the question they most hate/fear: How would you describe your sound?

However, for Ontario, Canada’s Bolero, the answer says it all: Symphonic Celtic Death Metal.

Formed in 2005 by singer/bassist Morgan Rider as a black metal side project, Bolero’s present line-up and direction became focused and solidified in 2007. Having recently unleashed their debut album, Voyage From Vinland, the epic metal warriors behind Bolero are now gaining real momentum and converting listeners and critics across the globe into believers and preachers of symphonic Celtic death metal.

Having spent a year and a half recording at Attlesey Studios (Hallows Die, Will of the Ancients, Panzerfaust), the 11-track debut is a culmination of the band’s song writing and hard work from the past several years. Making the album a reality was an exercise in perfect construction, as Rider says, “each track was built from the ground up; from the heavy bottoms to the swirling orchestral parts. Kind of like a puzzle in a 100-track sort of way.”

Drawing influence from an array of genres and styles ranging from folk to death metal, and everything in between, it’s no wonder Voyage From Vinland simultaneously features formidably epic orchestrations, ear-piercing guitar riffs, throat-crushing speed and triumphant melodies.

Folk Metal Warriors SCYTHIA Post Video From Summer Siege Tour

    The Canadian folk metal warriors of Scythia have posted new video from their recent travels on the Western Canadian Summer Siege Tour. The video chronicles the bands recent stop at Meow Records in Prince George, BC, an acoustic porch jam, and being rescued by West of Hell & Zimmer’s Hole vocalist Chris “The Heathen” Valagao’s handy grinder saw during a tour van lock out incident.

Scythia will be releasing their upcoming album “…Of Exile” on September 23rd, again produced by Shaun Thingvold who has engineered on projects with SYL, Fear Factory, Darkest Hour and is the follow up to last year’s debut release “..Of War”.

About: Formed in the latter half of 2008, Scythia is a five piece band that combines haunting folk melodies (emphasized by keyboards and oboe) with the driving force of modern progressive metal to form a raw and powerful sound that is their own. Scythia is not your older brother’s metal band. Unless that band had an oboe of death, echoes of thunder, and a knack for writing folk metal tunes.

Taking its name from vocalist/guitarist Dave Khan’s infatuation with a painting of Nordic/Russian warriors riding bears while brandishing swords, Scythia not only “gives the painting musical significance,” but it is also “the name of an ancient empire spanning from the Caucasus through Russia, and even into eastern Scandinavia. The melodies used in our music have a very ancient, sometimes medieval sound, so I wanted to attribute them to an ancient civilization,” says Khan.
