Black Pestilence, hailing from Calgary, Canada has unleashed a second single ‘My Will To Power’ off their sixth studio album “Hail The Flesh” via Decibel Magazine HERE.

The catchy, upbeat track takes the unmistakable unique sound of Black Pestilence and warps it into an anthemic, satanic onslaught of punk-infused black metal with electronic tinges that challenge genre standards.

No strangers to pushing boundaries, Black Pestilence has been making waves across Canada and Europe since 2008 and is excited to share their latest album with fans around the world.

Band founder, bassist and vocalist Valax adds:

“‘Hail The Flesh’ will be fast, and chaotic. Lyrically, for it, I talk about glorifying the carnal lifestyle and celebrating Earthly pleasures and indulgences. I am inspired by so many different avenues for lyrics. Without sounding too cliche, most of the lyrics are about Satanism, but not on a theistic level, just true, carnal, humanistic Satanism. Many other songs are also about social issues.”

Recommended for fans across a broad spectrum including Toxic Holocaust, Impaled Nazarene and Municipal Waste, “Hail The Flesh” is available for pre-order on Bandcamp along with their previous releases.

Pre-Save for Spotify Playlist here.

Music Video ‘Spurn All Gods’ here.

Over the course of twelve years, Black Pestilence has released five full-length albums, filmed four music videos, and performed all over Canada and Europe. They have also shared the stage with a number of notable bands including The Black Dahlia Murder, Toxic Holocaust, Absu, Skeletonwitch, and Wednesday 13.

“if you’re looking for raw and grimy Black metal without frills, Black Pestilence is for you. Enjoyable ‘no-nonsense no compromises’ rage.” – Metal Storm

“Black Pestilence’s knack for composing catchy yet coarse material is affirmed and bodes exceedingly well for the future.” – Worship Metal

“Black Pestilence have crafted some top quality songs that are catchy yet still nasty. It’s a rabid mix of black metal nastiness and punk energy, and has some razor sharp riffing.” – The Killchain

“Black Pestilence was to follow up on stage. Their sound is better experienced live. They started straight with fast classic Crust/Punk sound, just to merge it later in a Black Metal-Punk amalgamation. They were like the living proof of the genre’s evolution. The crowd got engaged and seemed pleased and excited all throughout the show. They sounded amazing and their performance was impressive. They seemed very proficient and technical with their work and the result was a blast.” – Din Intunerec

“Wherever your allegiance lies, be it Metal or Punk, you should not be disappointed with ‘Urban Hell Rhythmics’. And please do not hesitate to check it out live if the opportunity arises. You will not regret it!” – Metal Jacket Magazine

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – April 8, 2020

For fans of Higher Power, Nirvana, Queens Of The Stone Age, Clutch, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains

Grunge Stoner Vibes BADGUYSWIN Premiere Full Stream of New Album “Cowards” via Bravewords

Debut Album Out April 10th


L-R – Alex Huber – Bass Guitar, Vocals, Shane Sherman – Vocals, Guitar, Zak Waterlow – Drums

BADGUYSWIN will be releasing their debut full length “Cowards” this Friday, April 10th and before it officially drops, the band has teamed up with Bravewords for its exclusive stream HERE.

Nirvana and Soundgarden may be no more, but the members of Canada’s BADGUYSWIN are here to serve up your guilty pleasure for an era of rock n’ roll that’s knocking on doors and making its comeback. Heavy driven grunge-inspired loud amps, blended with clean vocals, plentiful harmonies, and driving rhythms are what fuels this Grand Forks, BC band to keep things stuck in your head for days to come!

Featuring 3 out of 4 members from technical metal band Slagduster, BADGUYSWIN shows off their original roots in music, the grunge era of the 90s where they would glue themselves to the stereo for hours. The members of BADGUYSWIN also all grew up together in the same small town and have been playing music together in various ways for 15 years.

The band’s debut full length “Cowards” was written to give the listener an experience that doesn’t repeat itself over 12 tracks. It’s an album that is a heavy and hooky modern take on a classic sound with influences that are everything 90’s in grunge, stoner, alternative, and punk. It was conceived organically, performed and recorded DIY style at the home studio of drummer Zak Waterlow with mastering by Brock McFarlane of CPS studios in Vancouver. The album has a crisp and larger than life sound. With plenty of easter eggs that’ll have you searching for more from each listen.

Vocalist/guitarist Shane Sherman adds:

“We have worked tirelessly over the last year writing, tweaking and recording our first release and we’re just quivering with anticipation to share with the world our modern take on grunge rock. If you’ve been pining for a record that gives you raw and heavy tunes with harmony and hooks we have got you covered.

After years of writing complex and intricate music, members of Slagduster embrace their musical roots and write a rock record that defies decades. Taking a more minimalistic approach, we’ve dropped the screaming and puzzling time signatures to create a sound that beckons back to a time when songwriting was key.

With influences ranging from Soundgarden to Queens Of The Stone Age and everything else in between, we are ready to deliver to this newborn puppy of hard rock that even the coldest of plaid wearing hipsters can enjoy.

We have crafted a record that we hope listeners will enjoy from start to finish. Each song placed in an order we feel will truly take the passenger on a sonic personal journey.”

“Cowards” set for release on April 10, 2020 will be available on all digital platforms for stream and download along with physical CDs having limited edition artwork painted by Shane Sherman. Each song’s lyrical content revolves around a story and a main character. A painting was depicted for each persona.

“Another grunge-inspired stoner rock ‘n’ roll track now with BADGUYSWIN and their debut ‘Needle Beach’, combining Ozzy-like vocals with the kind of riffs you’d see Orange Goblin churning out through their career… quite the way to introduce themselves!” – Uber Rock UK

 

“Due out on April 10th, the guys are ready to unleash their debut full-length, Cowards, tailor-made to give you a different listening experience with each of the record’s twelve tracks. Grunge rock may be a distant spec in the musical rearview mirror, but it’s comforting to know that bands such as BADGUYSWIN are carrying on the tradition of that legendary era.” – V13

 

“Cowards is chock full of sublime punked up riffs and harmonies such as “Fly On the Wall” as well as percussive masterpieces in “Lowlifer” and “Coal”. The lyrics speak out to the listener. For example, “Honey Bucket” is about alcoholism and addiction… Cowards provides a perfect feeling of leaves-you-wanting-more. Each song is constructed for maximum appeal with stunning fretwork, exemplary percussion and bass and vocals a bit on the higher range but certainly fitting. With Badguyswin, there is so much to rock out to here.” – Boston Rock Radio

Party Grinders KILLITOROUS Premiere Video ‘Total Protonic Reversal’ via MetalInjection

New Album “The Afterparty” Out May 22, 2020 via Tentacles Industries

Album guests include members from Voivod, Allegaeon, Soen, Blackguard, Cryptopsy, Firewind and more!

 

Canada’s tech-death comedy metal band KILLITOROUS (which consists of members from Annihilator, Suffocation, First Fragment and more!) unleash their second single ‘Total Protonic Reversal’ with a premiere of the track’s music video via MetalInjection HERE.

The band comments:

“We have been working on the new album for 4 years, but we spent 6 years writing and arranging (specifically the 3 guitar parts) all the music. Everyone was quite busy as well with all their other projects after the 2014 release of “Party, Grind” that we had to really plan to be able to get anything done. The music is also just bananas so we really had to work our pants off in the studio for what felt like an eternity.

As a side note, we also had to learn how to track and record music ourselves to be able to record the guitars properly which is just a whole story in itself(Sorry to our producers for torturing them ).

This new single is both the fastest and the slowest song we’ve ever written…and features a guest solo from one of our heroes Dan Mongrain(Voivod/Martyr) which to us is still just mind-blowingly amazing.

Obviously the song is an homage to one of the greatest movie franchises known to mankind: Ghostbusters 1 & 2. With lyrics cover everything from not crossing the streams, to Vigo The Carpathian.

We have definitely gone in a bit more of a melodic direction but we’ve made sure to keep noisy, dissonant and chaotic riffs as a staple point of everything that is Killitorous.”

KILLITOROUS’ new album “The Afterparty” due out May 22nd, 2020 via label Tentacles Industries. “The Afterparty” is the follow up to 2014’s “​Party, Grind”, which was also co-produced, mixed and mastered by Chris Donaldson (Cryptopsy, Despised Icon, The Agonist, Shadow of Intent) at The Grid in Montreal, Quebec.

The album features three guitars, tons of blast beats, brutal bass and vocals, plus of course tons of movie references, cartoon parodies and endless phrases maintaining the fine art of partying.

The line up consists of Mathieu Dhani (Epiphany From The Abyss) on vocals, Guitarists: Aaron Homma( Annihilator/ex-Vital Remains), Nick Miller (First Fragment) and Marc Roy (ex-Divine Realm), Eric Morotti (Suffocation/ex-Blind Witness) on drums and Xavier Sperdouklis on Bass.

The guests on “The Afterparty” are just as you’d expect from a great metal bash that includes Dan Mongrain (Voivod/Martyr), Riley McShane (Allegaeon), Leo Diensthuber (Divine Realm), Cody Ford (Soen), Raphael Weinroth-Browne (Leprous), Youri Raymond (Unhuman), Callum Clark (Ending Tyranny), Paul Ablaze (Blackguard), Matt McGachy (Cryptopsy), Tom “Fountainhead” Geldschlager (ex-Obscura), Gore Lussier (Erimha), Bob Katsionis (Firewind), Steven Henry (Neuraxis).

SpotifyAbout:
Looking to become the band they never saw, Killitorous is comprised of the passion to grind and the general love of technical death metal.Formed in 2006 in Ottawa, Canada; Killitorous is made up of current and former members of Annihilator, Suffocation, First Fragment and a myriad of other bands. Determined to sound like a combination of their one million favorite death metal bands they envelop technical death metal in an eternal party. A bit cheeky and a metric fuck ton of fun, Killitorous is that raunchy but charismatic friend who fuels every party.Killitorous is a chaotic concoction, best described as technical party chaos death grind and it’s a true 90s death metal experience complete with one hell of an AfterParty!

“This Canadian death metal band is a party in black wifebeaters. In their video for the aptly-titled “Married With Children,” Killitorous hired a middle-aged woman to get crazy in the pit of a basement show. Excellent work, gentlemen.” – Loudwire

“Well F*ck me lifeless with possibility and throw my rotting corpse down a well with joy; if such an album hasn’t become manifest. It’s here for all to relish in the form of PartyGrind by Canada’s own Killitorous.” – The Circle Pit

“Killitorous Don’t Suck Sh*t” – MetalSucks

“3 is full of heavy, chugging riffs and howled choruses, mixing the melodies of ’80s hard rock with the aggression of ’90s metal” – Exclaim!

“The time is now for Sven Gali to rock our world once again, with their short and sweet brand new EP being a solid statement that although the band might have been gone for a while, they still have a lot of fuel to burn in the name of Rock N’ Roll.” – The Headbanging Moose

“It’s a banger and a return befitting of their iconic status in the metal.” – Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life

“‘Now’ is a brand new track which rises up and dives down throughout, via some funky bass work and nice riffs before reaching a belting crescendo where Wanless let’s rip and roars his vocal.” – Metal Planet Music

“modern metal, and some groovin’ hard rock. Cool catchy music.” WORT 89.9 FM – Mosh Pit Radio (Madison, WI)

“They’ve got the loud/quiet/loud thing down to perfection… An idea that they understand the past but want to look to the future.” – Maxmium Volume Music

“a modern yet ass kicking five piece outfit that sound ready for the future.” – Headbangers Lifestyle

“These guys cover several bases sonically at the same time, giving them an edge – and an unexpected addition to my summer listening!” – 100 Percent Rock

“Of course, 3 leaves you wanting more. Maybe it’s a teaser for more stuff to come from Sven Gali? ” – Boston Rock Radio

“SVEN GALI have proved that, even after a twenty something year absence, they still know how to rock!” – Rock Out Stand Out

“I was super excited to be given the opportunity to review 3. I remember picking up their debut album when it was first released and being blown away then. In 2020, I have been reminded of that overwhelming feeling. The songs are extremely well written and do not sound dated at all. When June 12th rolls around, grab yourself a copy of this killer EP.” – I’m Music Magazine

“Musically, it is still a juicy mix of hard rock and heavy metal, with some even harder passages” Metalized Magazine (DK)

“And thank God the Canadians have mostly found their hard rock sound again…’3′ is the first bundled sign that Sven Gali is obviously up to something again” – Stormbringer

“Crunchy guitar runs, rich grooves and a good knack for exciting songs come together here… `3` gives hope for a good, third album” – Streetclip 

“Welcome back Canadian rock blokes!… Frank, Wanless and bassist Shawn Minden are all Sven Gali originals, and it’s this spine that gives the band it’s pleasing link between ancient and modern… Good to have them back, and worth a listen, if you like a well-played rock song.” – The Rock Pit

“Sven Gali is back. That is obvious. These Canadians show at 3 that they are ready to really treat the listener to that third long player. Hard rock in its full glory.” – White Room Reviews

“My tip on this entertaining EP is the Smasher Now . There is no better way to play melodic hard rock with a noble metallic alloy. That makes a whopping 9/10.” Sound Magnet

Signing with RFL Records & Entertainment, SVEN GALI will be releasing their new EP entitled “3” on June 12, 2020. Known for their fusion of 80s screaming hard rock and 90s blazing metal, the new EP features their two previous released singles “Kill The Lies” (2018) and “You Won’t Break Me (2019) both produced by David Bendeth  (Paramore, Breaking Benjamin, Bring Me The Horizon) along with new tracks “Now” and “Hurt” produced by Jon Howard (Threat Signal). 

SVEN GALI built a name fast with their live shows; drawing growing crowds on the Canadian and US circuit while building their songwriting chops and a wild reputation. David Bendeth signed the band to BMG Music Canada in 1991 and produced the self-titled debut, released in 1992.

The masterful debut album includes the hit, which was the MuchMusic Best Metal Video award of 1993, “Under The Influence” and the emotional sweet balladry of “Love Don’t Live Here Anymore”, a song that came no. 6 CanCon song of 1993. Following their profound release, the band was nominated for Hard Rock Album of the Year and Most Promising Band by Canada’s most prestigious music awards, the Junos. SVEN GALI also went gold in Canada that year.

Following extensive touring worldwide, being a major event on stages with legends (April Wine / Foreigner / Pearl Jam / Def Leppard), SVEN GALI didn’t stop there, and continued their journey with the release of their sophomore, “In Wire”, in 1995.

Just recently, after a long time in the shadows, Twenty-five years after their debut album went Gold in Canada, in 2018 SVEN GALI came back rockin’, kicking out the jams with the modernized edged rock covered in metal with an early version of “Kill The Lies” and “You Won’t Break Me” in 2019.

It appears that SVEN GALI are here to take on the 00s, and it has been evident with sold out Canadian shows in 2018 and 2019 and a promise to continue to play solo and festival dates in North America and Europe through 2020 and beyond.

New Album “Eradicate” Out Now!

This past March, Montreal’s Your Last Wish performed at Quebec City’s Le FestEvil, a festival celebrating women in metal and created to coincide with International Women’s Day. The goal of the festival was to highlight the great contribution and need for more presence of women in the Quebec metal scene. Le FestEvil was founded by the Canadian death metal band The Flaying guitarist Didier Samson and co-produced by Rope Dancer Productions and District 7 Production.

During their set at Le FestEvil, Your Last Wish captured live video of their track ‘Pandore’ with guest vocals from The Flaying‘s William Murray. The video can be viewed HERE.

The studio version of the song is on the band’s new album “Eradicate” released this past February and is a tribal prog duet that features Simon Girard of Beyond Creation. Listen HERE.

With roots in classic death and thrash metal, the melodic death metallers are darker, heavier and have matured in their sound. Their new concept album “Eradicate” beautifully exploits post-apocalyptic themes. It is a bilingual album with songs in both English and French along with being composed and recorded entirely by guitarist David Gagné, while all lyrics were written by vocalist Roxana Bouchard.

Friend and fan of the band Dan Mongrain of Voivod had this to say about the band:

”Your Last Wish’s new Album “Eradicate” will take you on an epic journey through extremely powerful musical landscapes that will transform your mind and emotions forever. That’s what quality art is for, and that’s what they do!”

For fans of old school Arch Enemy, Soilwork, and Black Dahlia Murder, “Eradicate” is available for stream and download on Bandcamp.com, Spotify, Apple Music.

About:
Formed in 2003, Your Last Wish is a death metal band with thrash metal overtones, melodic yet aggressive, which should appeal to fans of The Black Dahlia Murder, Hatesphere and Darkest Hour. Hailing from Montreal, Canada the group has encapsulated a wide variety of influences to produce a sound that is haunting and harsh, delicate and disciplined.

Using 8 strings guitars, the band has even more possibilities to achieve the desired sound of frantic riffs and evil vocals. You Last Wish has intrigued and entertained audiences across the region, appearing at festivals including Grind Your Mind Open Air and sharing the stage with bands such as Kalmah, Beyond Creation and Archspire.

Eight years after their sophomore album 2012’s “Desolation”, Montreal, QC melodic death metallers Your Last Wish is back in full force with a new darker and heavier sound with their third studio release 2020’s “Eradicate”. The concept album beautifully exploits post-apocalyptic themes. The album was composed and recorded entirely by guitarist David Gagné, while all lyrics were written by vocalist Roxana Bouchard. More than half the songs on this bilingual album are in French. Track ‘Pandore’ features a guest appearance by Beyond Creation’s Simon Girard.

With their new lineup of experienced and talented musicians, Your Last Wish is ready to conquer the world with their new album!
