Canada’s Entropy unleashed their fourth album “Force Convergence” this past August. The full length is a 30-minute metal rip-ride! It’s a creative and fun progressive thrash full length that flows with power, melody, and aggressiveness along with it being a story-driven sci-fi horror experience. There are lyrical influences from bands like Rush, Queensryche, Voivod, Iron Maiden, plus films such as Aliens, Predator, War Of The World’s, Independence Day, with a tinge of war scene themes throughout the story concept from films like Apocalypse Now, Platoon, and Starship Troopers, mixed in for fun.
With an original and eclectic sound that is 30 years in the making, “Force Convergence” follows Entropy‘s three independently released Ashen Existence (1992), Transcendence (1995), and E3 (2012). The Canadian legends are suitable for all metalheads especially those who enjoy Slayer, Pantera, and Iron Maiden.
Today, the band is sharing their latest lyric video for the album’s title track “Force Convergence”. The song was the first one they wrote after E3.
Guitarist Dan Lauzon comments about the story behind the track:
“The first time we played this one live was in 2014 without Ger even having lyrics ready yet because I conned him into performing just to see how it would be received live haha. Over the years we vaulted it and it went over a few changes, partly because it was older and you just can’t help yourself making it better. When we started jamming this again to tighten everything up before the studio, I had forgotten just how heavy a song it was. That ending riff is classic Entropy, making a pile of time changes sound cohesive.”
To have your face melted, check out the lyric video for “Force Convergence” via its premiere on MetalInjection HERE.
“Force Convergence” is now out and available on Entropymetal.com (CD) plus Spotify, Apple Music, and all major digital platforms HERE.

EPKAbout:
Formed in Toronto in the late 80s, Canadian metal band Entropy has released 3 albums on their own independent label, Ashen Existence (1992), Transcendence (1995), and E3 (2012).
The quartet of Oscar Rangel (bass), Ger Schreinert (vocals), Dan Lauzon (guitar), and Blake Lemieux (drums) mark their own eclectic style of metal. Lauzon writes the songs as guitar music structures. Schreinert gets down the lyrics and vocal lines. Rangel contributes with beautiful classical guitar and creative bass lines throughout the songs. Lemieux composes the drum parts, and the result is brutal and elegant at the same time.
The unique sound of Entropy comes from a blend of thrash, death, prog, groove, speed, and power metal stylings. The original sound coupled with strong reviews in print and web media for their independent CD releases, Entropy has performed extensive shows for their fans, playing live with such legendary acts as Annihilator, Piledriver, Fear Factory, Razor, Obituary, and Anvil and countless local Canadian bands.
Entropy’s independent album releases have become somewhat of an underground metal collector’s item, with on-line reports of eBay bids going up to $500 USD for an original copy of Ashen Existence!
As of August 2020, Entropy will release the fourth album Force Convergence, with even more music planned after that. Entropy thanks their fans, and metal album collectors from around the world, for the continued interest and support of their unique brand of metal.

The Second Foray Into Within Nostalgia’s “Void and Decay” Comes Forth With “Beneath Unworthy Presence”
Song Premiere via Bravewords
New Album “Void and Decay” Out December 18th

Within Nostalgia announced their album “Void and Decay” recently with the first single “Desideratum” and now they present a second “Beneath Unworthy Presence”. The single continues the band’s proclivity towards honest and haunting music, and this release reflects a personal and unique journey. Within Nostalgia hopes that listeners can relate to the music and lyrics in a meaningful way and be able to gain their own perspective from it.
Currently, the band is a duo between founder Alyssa Broere (rhythm guitar/bass/vocals/drum programming) and Kyle Bell (lead guitar/bass/drum programming), who have been working on this album since the release of 2019’s “Conjuring A New Reality”. Now with a firm grip on the creative trajectory for the band, the sound had morphed into what is meant to be the truest form of Within Nostalgia.
“Beneath Unworthy Presence” takes the listener on a journey in the sense that there are many parts, ranging from harsh vocals, blast beats, and double bass to clean vocals and almost a “dance-y beat”. The band further explains the track:
“It was the third song written for the album and represents many different aspects of the genres that inspire us. This song goes into the concept of humans not being worthy of this earth because of the damage that we do to it on a daily basis. It talks about the natural karma that takes place here and how natural disasters happen as a way to depopulate and show us who really is in control. ‘Trees shall grow beneath unworthy presence’ represents the fact that nature will continue to thrive and take back what is rightfully its own.”
Powerful and unique, Within Nostalgia is recommended for fans of Agalloch, My Dying Bride, and Nachtmystium.
“Beneath Unworthy Presence” can be heard via its premiere on Bravewords HERE.
The full album “Void & Decay” comes out on December 18, 2020.

Album Band Line Up:
Sujit Kumar, Vocals
Aaron Holt, Guitar/bass
TJ Maistros, Drums
Aaron Holt’s musical journey started on the George Mason University campus where he was asked to play bass guitar for a local church’s grand opening. It was there that he met drummer and percussionist TJ Maistros who would grow to become a lifelong friend and amazing collaborative partner.
The album My Burdened Mind was a very long and labored writing, recording, and mixing project that ended up taking way longer than originally estimated to create the finished product at 47:36 minutes. The long story short is that the album My Burdened Mind was another grand learning experience for Aaron as a producer especially in terms of recording source material that was worthy of being shared with the world.
After the album’s release, vocalist Eric confirmed he would no longer participate in the project and would not want to participate in any live shows. Short of a bassist and vocalist Aaron and TJ anxiously sat on the release and hoped that anyone would listen. Enter album 3, the endeavor where Aaron is truly making every effort to improve upon everything he didn’t quite get right before.
He signed on the incredible help of local vocalist Sujit Kumar who in his own right stands on pretty high shoulders in the local DC music scene as well as making a name for himself across the globe. Sujit agreed to meet and record a few demo tracks, one older song that Eric originally recorded and another new song that would eventually go on to be the single “Set Free Your Sorrow” for a full-length album.
Fast forward to 2020 and Aaron with the immense help of TJ and Sujit has completed a 3rd album clocking in at 58 minutes with 10 songs. The production is solid, all instruments hold their own, and everyone listening has great smiles on their faces with absolute relief that everything has come together so well and polished compared to older works. The new album “In The Palace” features a lot of emotional baggage associated with past relationships, differences in opinion among close friends, thoughts on dealing with incredibly stressful daily life, and also a bit of fantasy writing as well in the longest prog ballad written by the group to date. You can expect to hear a large mix of guitar-oriented music such as straight-ahead rock, classic metal riffs, and intricate progressive lines that flow through each section seamlessly.

Sujit Kumar, Vocals
Aaron Holt, Guitar
TJ Maistros, Drums

Fun Facts / Story Angles
1. Probably the most important fun fact involves the title of the album, for the 3 years or so we worked on this when I (Aaron Holt) lived out near Winchester, Virginia, which was a long drive away from anyone and anything. Our new vocalist Sujit hates driving, so I often drove the 1+ hour drive to his apartment. We quickly discovered our shared love of cooking and started to share lots of recipes. Sometimes I wondered if I was there to work on music, or just look through his kitchen and talk about cooking. On his Facebook page though, he has a location created for his home called “The Palace of Markujitsu”, which is a weird spelling of his name. I scratched my head for some time about the album title and didn’t really have any great ideas except a song title or lyric excerpt. I read a few articles online about naming albums and one great suggestion maybe I had overlooked, was to name it after where it was recorded. Like for instance Beatles and Abbey road, classic in a great sense. So, we went with it, “In The Palace” seemed like a great fit for the title since so much of it was in fact recorded at Sujit’s place.
2. Much the case with the first album I (Aaron Holt) recorded, all the gear I recorded the guitar with has since been sold and replaced with other gear. There is an element of knowing how certain pickups have been good for me in recordings past, but I swapped quite a few pickups through, guitar speaker choices, string gauges. Whatever I recorded with felt right at that moment but has since evolved further since then. I watch some youtube videos where they try to recreate the classic sound of an album, but ultimately I feel that pain after recording my own music and not even being able to play that same gear set up the same way. I went completely overboard on getting a whole midi rack system working with pedal switching and amp switching that was all perfectly coordinated, and you can hear it all on the album. Come time to play live, or jam everything is much simpler where I can step on pedals I need, and just switch between amp channels that give me all my tones. I determined I had some core parts to my sound, and others I really just didn’t need. In most cases, less is sometimes more.
3. I (Aaron Holt) suppose many bands do this, but many of the original vocal demos are recorded by me, which don’t really sound that great. I never thought my voice sounded that good for the style of music we’re trying to create. But Sujit is very kind of it all, and takes my demos and just does them total justice. I couldn’t ask for more, but somewhere buried deep in my hard drives I suppose there’s a file of me singing set free your sorrow with my horribly strained tenor vocal range.
4. Most of the lead vocals were recorded in Sujit’s entryway closet with tons of sound panels conveniently also stored in the closet for when we were done tracking. We used a full-on condenser mic which would pick up anything, but it was near studio levels of silence except for when an ambulance drove down the street but those were good excuses to check the food or get something else to drink.
5. Drummer TJ Maistros likes to spend most of his time practicing fills that are pretty unconventional, it’s been almost hilarious to watch him try to recreate some of the things Mike Mangini has started to incorporate like his true stereo drum kit. TJ is taking bits and pieces of this into account for new material that we’re writing.
6. All drums for “In The Palace” were recorded in 3 days at Aaron Holt’s brother-in-laws’ extra-large garage. We tracked everything on my mac mini with 22 microphones.
7. In my daily life I’ve started to not really even listen to a ton of metal music, mostly pop and blues rock type stuff which all have super catchy melody lines, which in some ways I think help keep me grounded on what the general American public so to speak enjoys hearing.

Rockshots Records: New Music Video “Hard In This Town” Australian Sleaze Rock LACED IN LUST
New Album “First Bite” Coming 2021
Aussie Hard Rockers Laced In Lust unveil their new music video for their next single “Hard In This Town” off the forthcoming album “First Bite” out February 2021 via Rockshots Records.
Music Video – YouTube
Stream – Spotify
Song Download – Apple Music
With a sound frequently described as a “Sleazy Status Quo” with the image of the “Sunset Strip”, Laced In Lust has been turning heads since their first show in April 2012. The 14 track debut album “First Bite” is a diverse record with some major sleaze elements to hold true to the genre, but also have some just good ol’ Aussie rock n’ roll tones with a slice of dirty blues.
Singer/guitarist Torsten Steel explains the story behind the single track:
“Is a story about a city in Australia that I lived in for a year that was really an eye-opener. Even though a lot of the lyrics are about this city (which I actually for some strange reason do have a small soft spot for) they certainly relate to many other cities and towns around Australia that I have also had experiences in also. I moved away from the band to a different city in 2018 for work. But it really wasn’t a smart move. Huge unemployment rate, terrible methamphetamine problem, local economy totally screwed and getting worse, the highest youth crime in the country and major sexual assault issues where you can’t walk the streets at night for fear of murder or rape. That’s not to mention that car theft and home break-ins are so normal that no one cares anymore because they’re just desensitized to it now haha. Let’s just say a huge natural disaster occurred and a lot of people were hoping that it would wipe out the whole scum of the city so the government could push the reset button on the place and start again….. So I had to write about this as I was living the same nightmare for 1 whole year”.

0 Rockshots Records: Out Now! SIX DEGREES Debut Album “No One Is Innocent”, New Lyric Video “Imperfect”
NEWS RELEASE
Montreal, QC – November 27, 2020
For fans of Lacuna Coil, In Flames, Slipknot
Rockshots Records: Out Now! SIX DEGREES Debut Album “No One Is Innocent”
New Lyric Video “Imperfect”
Italian Groove Metal band SIX DEGREES have unleashed a new lyric video for their single “Imperfect” off their debut album “No One Is Innocent”, out today, November 27th via Rockshots Records.
“Imperfect” Lyric Video – YouTube
SIX DEGREES was born from an idea of Luca Correnti (guitar and vocals) and singer Valentina Aleo.
The name of the band is clearly inspired by the sociological theory (developed for the first time in 1929 by the Hungarian writer Karinthy) about the so-called “six degrees of separation”.
Luca comments about “Imperfect”:
“In this song I really like how Vale and I almost “chase each other” with our voices. Being imperfect is not a fault, but an essential human characteristic. It is one of those things that really makes us human. Sometimes we fall into this trap: we only think about following trends and styles that many consider as models, but in reality, they are not at all. They are not values, but only things that have a beginning and an end, like everything else. What sense does it make to adapt to what is proposed to you as a model? It is hard enough to understand what is real and what is virtual .. starting to recognize your limits helps you to accept yourself exactly as you are.”
“No One Is Innocent” is an album that brings together all the creative aspects of the band. It’s an aggressive, simple, direct groove-death metal, but filled with melody. All of this gives the compositions a dual-purpose appeal, with a mix of violence and impact but also catchy melodies, thanks to Luca’s scratchy growls and Valentina’s sweet and effective vocals.
The album includes a cover version of “The Power of Love” by Huey Lewis and The News, taken from the legendary trilogy “Back to the Future” OST.
“No One Is Innocent” is now available in Digipak CD, Digital Download and Streaming.

ABOUT:
“Six Degrees” project was born from an idea of Luca Correnti (guitar and vocals) and Valentina Aleo (vocals). The name of the band is clearly inspired by the sociological theory (developed for the first time in 1929 by the Hungarian writer Karinthy) about the so-called “six degrees of separation”.
Luca was born in Sicily but now he lives in Umbria. He was part of the line-up of the cult band “Sinoath” in the album “Research” (guitar), then he has been the lead vocalist in death-thrashers “Mystura” and in the prog-death-metallers” EpisThemE “(“Descending Patterns” their debut album, 2014).
After moving to Umbria (2016), Luca joins the historic death metal band from Terni “S.R.L.”. The group is currently working on the songs that will be part of their new album.
Valentina was born in Spoleto (Perugia). She took her first steps as a lead singer in the alternative metal band “Burn it down”. They recorded the EP “In flames” and performed in live concerts including the Tour Music Fest, Emergenza Festival and the Music Village, in which Valentina had the honor of sharing the stage with Cristina Scabbia (Lacuna Coil).
Luca meets Vale thanks to a musical announcement and a few weeks later they decide to start this artistic partnership. They work hard, helped in studio by the sound engineer Elvys Damiano, until all the songs of the album “No one is Innocent” are ready. Then they choose to call this project “Six Degrees”.

0 Canada’s Feed After Midnite New Single “Out of Time” Reminiscent Of 80s Hard Rock
NEWS RELEASE
Montreal, QC – November 27, 2020

Canada’s Feed After Midnite New Single “Out of Time” Reminiscent Of 80s Hard Rock

Feed After Midnite hails from Ottawa, Canada, and thanks to recent, pandemic-granted free time, released a single “Out of Time”.
This is the first single from the fairly new, laid back band who are out to show rock fans around the world that they are “just some dudes having fun and playing tunes”. Embodying that mantra, Feed After Midnite maintains a high level of professionalism, which comes through in their musicianship.
Feed After Midnite shares their hopes for the energetic, upbeat single:
“We are aiming to provide our fans with a mix of a modern hard-hitting sound and also the refreshing nostalgic sound of old school rock and metal. A driving, anthemic hard rock tune with lyrics that paint a picture of a post-apocalyptic world in need of someone to fight for what is right. Are you ready to fight?”
“Out of Time” can be heard on YouTube and Spotify.
Feed After Midnite formed in 2018 and take a large amount of inspiration from horror movies, current events, and childhood memories. When they started they had a predominantly hard rock sound which evolved into heavier stylings but at the same time, remaining catchy and simple.
Those who enjoy many facets of hard rock and metal will appreciate Feed After Midnite, especially those who like Deftones, Avenged Sevenfold, Volbeat, and Faith No More. The band expects to be releasing more music in 2021.
The single “Out of Time” was released on October 2, 2020 and available for download on Bandcamp, Apple Music, Amazon.

“After drummer Cale Costello summons listeners with a lethal drum roll, the song (Shadowcreeper) quickly lunges for the kill. Vocalist Joey Scaringi’s rasped snarls and growls accompany blastbeats until the mid-song breakdowns syncopate with the Shadowcreeper’s violent pursuit. Once guitarist John Robinson’s sharpened solo starts stabbing, the finale seems written in blood. There’s no happy ending here, just melodic death metal that balances brutality and infectious grooves.” – Decibel Magazine
“In crafting “The Crawling Tongue“ (single), the band wanted “to take the listener somewhere dark”, and in that they succeeded. It’s a ghoulish and ghastly song, but also a brutish neck-wrecker, anchored by a cold, menacing, rhythmic slugger of a riff and vertebrae-cracking drumwork. In the vocal department, frontman Joey Scaringi shifts between gruff, bellowing growls, livid screams, horrid pronouncements, and filthy gurgles, and as the song proceeds the band inject bursts of jittery, jolting fretwork, dismal chords, and squealing guitar mutilation, as well as a freakish fret-melting solo that amplifies the feeling of cruel, unearthly derangement in the music.” – No Clean Singing
“Your neck is going to hurt after giving these guys a spin. DUSKWALKER evoke a pure metal spirit that hones a modern groove into a heavier and darker place where all they know is fear! Their tunes pick and pull accents of influence from a wide spectrum but overall stay true to a highly accessible and aggressive metal barrage. Every song on the album is different but shades of Dethklok, Carcass, Pantera, Amon Amarth, Revocation, and Nile can be felt in the shadows around every turn. “All They Know Is Fear” proves to be one hell of a ride, in which I’m sure will resonate a diverse group of metalheads. Crank this up loud and apologies in advance for tomorrow’s neck pain! 8/10” – Blessed Altar Zine

After years of playing bass in the extreme metal scene, his musical tastes and direction changed and he began writing in a more melodic/heavy metal direction. Influenced by melodic metal bands such as Katatonia, Opeth, and Kamelot, he sought to craft a sound with heavy guitars and drums entwined with harmonic vocal melodies.
Sennight’s first EP “Fear of the Unseen” came out in May 2019, recorded at Jam Room Studio in Columbia, SC with engineer Zac Thomas. Joining in on the studio tracks were a couple of ace North Carolina metal musicians: Drummer David Holquin (Violent Life Violent Death) and guitarist Ron Dalton Jr. (Your Chance to Die, Final Curse).
Wasting no time, Sennight reentered the Jam Room Studio in late 2019, again with Thomas at the console, and began recording their first LP “New Takes The Old” with guitarist Trevor Norris officially joining the band in early 2020. Holquin and Dalton Jr. helped again with studio tracking and the sessions along with guest guitar solo appearances from mainstay southeastern metallers Brian Kingsland (Nile, Imperishable) and Alex Parra (Paladin, Sadistic Ritual).
Up to this point, the writing has been done by Mast who fully demos the songs on a DAW and sends them to the other studio players. The guitar solos are fully made by the individual players and the drums are creatively improved by the drummer. When it comes to their live shows, metal fans can anticipate a high energy set with a big guitar sound, in true classic rock band style with no backing tracks. Sennight’s debut album “New Takes the Old” can be expected in 2021.

Lineup (L to R): Sean Arsenian (Guitar, Vox), Joey Cormier (Bass), Mark McGee (Drums), PQ (Vox)
Hard to pinpoint exactly when it comes to genres, Montreal’s Cell Press brings listeners a cacophony of grindcore, noise, sludge, and extreme metal.
The eclectic ep may not be metal enough or noise-rock enough or sludge enough for some, but Cell Press gets bored really fast and the result is serious channel surfing taking advantage of a wide variety of influences. With this release, they have gone all out to wrap their ideas up in a burlap sack, tied with razor wire. As the band says in their own words:
“This EP sorta sums up what we’re about at this particular moment. Genre people might not be satisfied with our lack of adherence to any one sound for too long but we didn’t make these songs for those sort of people.”
This ep is designed as a broad introduction to the band, and new listeners will hopefully anticipate what else is coming down the pipe in the future. It upholds the high standards Cell Press sets for themselves and each song is quite different from the others.
Super loud and aggressive, Cell Press is a sort of hybridized amalgamation of influences, and most recommended for fans of Jesus Lizard, Converge, and Botch.

About:
Cell Press are a Montreal-based band that formed in 2019. They play a sort of burly noise-rock that leans more on the hardcore and metal side of the swamp. They took their name from the 2001 Russian prison documentary “The Mark Of Cain”. The brutal humanity of that film is reflected in the music… on the surface, it’s raw and punishing but there are complexities
and nuances revealed once the surface noise has been embraced. Members have played in a myriad of punk, metal, and hardcore bands such as The Great Sabatini, Biipiigwan, I Hate Sally, The Chariot, Animal Ethics, Architect, Swarm Of Spheres, and Angles. Their self-titled EP is the first offering of tunes. Recorded pre-quarantine in Hamilton at Boxcar Sound Recording
(Sean Pearson), mixed in Oakland at Anti-sleep studios by Scott Evans with the pandemic in full swing… 2 local shows have been logged but any further plans to gig have been halted by Covid-19.

2020 – Self Titled – EP
– 30 –
“From the grooves on “Piss Police” to the odd-timed melodic chords of “Blacked Out in Verdun,” everything moves in unexpected ways. All of this is perfectly set to the backdrop of PQ’s uniquely cackled screams… Cell Press is a great sludge metal EP that reminds the listener of the best aspects of this sub-genre. This EP makes the future appear bright for what is to come from this band. 8/10″ – Exclaim!
“You know that feeling, when you spin a new record for the first time and it just fucking destroys you? Well today I am happy to report, Cell Press outta Montreal have truly delivered the goods with their debut self titled EP. I mean fuck, is it any wonder this band rules, when they can boast members from the likes of The Great Sabatini, Biipiigwan, I Hate Sally, Architect. With their self-titled release, Cell Press give zero fucks about accessibility, instead they focus on delivering punishing aggression with a melting pot of sludge metal, noise rock, and grindcore.” – The Sludgelord
“Warm fuzzy guitar tones bring a touch of the Sabbath to “Piss Police” with broken chords and momentary pauses giving the kind of sound that Raging Speedhorn look for to accompany the rampant venting screams of the vocals that unapologetically roar along during the montage.” – Metal Noise
“Noisy and enjoyable, I give this Cell Press effort high marks. I am a Punk fan from the beginning, and I hear those roots here, certainly in the attitude, even if the category is technically off. The disenfranchisement is very appealing. Recommended.” – Flying Fiddle Sticks
