0 It’s A Grunge Comeback w/ BADGUYSWIN Debut Video ‘Needle Beach’ via GhostCultMag + New Album “Cowards” Out April 10th
(contact info below)
NEWS RELEASE
Montreal, QC – March 4, 2020
For fans of Higher Power, Nirvana, Queens Of The Stone Age, Clutch, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains
It’s A Grunge Comeback w/ BADGUYSWIN Debut Video ‘Needle Beach’ + New Album “Cowards” Out April 10th
L-R – Alex Huber – Bass Guitar, Vocals, Shane Sherman – Vocals, Guitar, Zak Waterlow – Drums
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” due out April 10, 2020 was written to give the listener an experience that doesn’t repeat itself over 12 tracks.
“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.” says vocalist/guitarist Shane Sherman.
Their debut single/music video ‘Needle Beach‘ is ready to be revealed and can be viewed via its premiere on GhostCultMag HERE.
The band adds:
“This song came together easily. We had been searching for a very rhythmic groove to insert under the guitar riff. Once Zak added the pulsing kick drum to the steady thumping bass riff we all squealed in delight. Our goal of creating a fun video to represent the vibe of the music while contradicting the lyrical content of the song resulted in the “Alien Pool Party” idea, stemming from Alex’s persistent insistence on having sexy aliens in some sort of minimal clothing atmosphere. Aiming for an old school look with psychedelic overtones; we definitely achieved it.”
“Cowards” is 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.
After years of writing complex and intricate music, members of Slagduster embrace their musical roots in BADGUYSWIN and write a rock record that defies decades. Taking a more minimalistic approach, they’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, they are ready to deliver to this newborn puppy of hard rock that even the coldest of plaid wearing hipsters can enjoy.
“Cowards” is set for release on April 10, 2020 and 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.

0 Halifax’s TURBO Kick Nitro Rock Into Full Gear w/ Single ‘Alive’ via Bravewords
(contact info below)
NEWS RELEASE
Montreal, QC – March 3, 2020
For fans of Motorhead, W.A.S.P., Kill Cheerleader, Pantera, Black Sabbath
Halifax’s TURBO Kick Nitro Rock Into Full Gear w/ Single ‘Alive’
Cruising in from the Canadian Maritimes is TURBO, brandishing their signature brand of potent “Nitro-Rock”. To introduce this onslaught of riffs and madness to the world, they are releasing their debut album “Fast As Fvck” later this year and kicking the party off with the single ‘Alive’.
Between them, the members of TURBO have played every loud-music genre there is to name and these experiences have worked together to shape the current sound with an emphasis on rock and punk. These genres formed the base for their planned debut full length, which TURBO explains in their own words:
“Fast as Fvck is a sort of homage to true rock and roll in its most vicious and visceral form. Each of the seven tracks hit like a swift kick to the teeth from a whole new angle of attack, but the assault is far from a mindless battering to the eardrums. The album ebbs and flows through different moods and subtleties with sophisticated craftsmanship.”
Coined as a gateway drug into the gritty rock-and-roll lifestyle, it’s raw, real and punches full of passion. The in your face attitude that radiates from the album, is translated into the stage presence of the group and they quote:
“Alive, which is more or less a written testament to bad-decisions with one of the most badass riffs on the album slapped on top of it. The song features a call-and-response guitar harmony and an anthemic chorus. There’s not too much more to say on it apart from being among the most fun songs on the album; definitely one to do a keg stand along to.”
Recommended for those who like W.A.S.P., Motorhead and Guns n’ Roses, fans that take interest in this fresh record shouldn’t have to wait too long for another dose, as writing has commenced for more tunes to follow once the debut album is out.

Like your disheveled uncle on Christmas morning, Turbo is trashed, pissed off, sleazy, mean, and sick of your shit. Coming at you hard and fast from the east coast of Canada, rages Turbo. An eclectic mix of rock, punk, and metal, this is what would happen if nitroglycerin had a soundtrack. High impact is the name of the game for them and they are bringing the grit to listeners around the world.

The focus is that all the bandmates are able to relate to everything they sing about. It’s real, edgy, and visceral.
The highly potent debut album “Fast as Fvck” is on the way for 2020; metal enough for the heshers, punk enough for the threshers, and rocking enough to satiate the haughtiest of purests; welcome to Turbo’s patented “Nitro-Rock”.

New York power metallers LOST LEGACY have released their latest lyric video for ‘Will You Remember’ in support of their new album “In The Name of Freedom” due out March 20, 2020 via Pure Steel Records. The track mixes power metal and thrash into an exciting tune that delivers great guitar riffs and amazing guitar solos from both guitarists along with showcasing vocalist Dave Franco’s range.
The band comments:
“This song has an early “Fates Warning” vibe that is followed by a thrash style riff that is fast and furious. This song features a twin lead guitar attack that shows Jorge’s melodic style and Scott’s shred fest that will excite the guitar fan listeners. This is another song that Dave shows his range and fire with his inspired performance.”
Watch and listen to ‘Will You Remember’ – https://youtu.be/UTrxwRJZ7Kk
Featuring forty-six minutes of pure metal, LOST LEGACY‘s sophomore release is a concept album serving as an act II to their debut full length, which was inspired by the tragedy of 9/11.
The band explains:
“The concept of ‘In The Name of Freedom’ is our way to thank our men and women of the armed forces for their sacrifice. It’s not about glorifying war, but these gallant people give so much and are often forgotten.”
LOST LEGACY has been around since 1998 and their dedication to their craft shows. Having four excellent musicians and a vocalist that can play guitar and write riffs makes for a plethora of ideas. With Franco’s vocal capacity and range, it has transformed them to write music that enhances his vocal performances and gives the band the freedom to play intellectual metal.
LOST LEGACY discusses their expectations of the album:
“We believe that this album is a genuine representation of how we sound in a live setting. We take great pride in putting on a great show and when we approached this record, we wanted to have a live band feeling. Our fans will be pleased with the songs, the sound, and the production. The music has catchy guitar-driven riffs and soaring vocals. We promise it will deliver great energy and inspiration to fans of classic power metal.”
For fans of Fates Warning, Metal Church, and Testament, LOST LEGACY is classic power metal with a modern edge.

“NY’s Lost Legacy Has Been Turning Out the Metal for Over Ten Years. A Killer Six Piece Band Who Know Their Instruments And How To Use Them. Raw Power And Pure Talent Is What You Get.” – Mike The Big Cheese, Heavy Metal Mayhem
“Lost Legacy a metal band out of Bronx NY, that formed in 1998 The latest album “The Aftermath” came out in 2009 which was a tribute to those who lost their lives in 9/11. Some of the songs are Towers, Time Will Heal, Light The Candles, their music is packed with energy, catchy riffs and powerful vocals. A tour de Force.” – Robin Souls, Metal Messiah Radio
“It has been my pleasure to work with the band members of Lost Legacy. I found them on social media back in 2008 and was immediately drawn in by the timbre of David Franco’s voice, the guitar riffs are executed in their presentation, and the bass and drums finish off this bands talent by providing a solid foundation for metal madness at its best! Their original music content is well written and has a powerful impact, as in one of their songs Towers. Their music will engulf you and take you on a journey, one that no one would easily forget. The metal world needs to move over and make room for Lost Legacy.” Syria, Producer, and former DJ on Renegade Radio

0 Lycanthro Announce Canadian Tour Dates + Hyperspace Metal Festival
(contact info below)
NEWS RELEASE
Montreal, QC – March 3, 2020
For fans of Manowar, Blind Guardian, Helloween, Iced Earth, Saxon
Lycanthro Announce Canadian Tour Dates + Hyperspace Metal Festival
New Album “Mark of The Wolf” Coming 2020 via Alone Records
Ottawa power thrash quartet Lycanthro announce they will be hitting the road this coming April for dates across Central and Western Canada along with performing at this year’s Hyperspace Metal Festival in Vancouver, BC, which includes Helion Prime, Iron Kingdom, Unleash The Archers, Immortal Guardian, and Power Glove among its three-day line-up. (tour dates listed below)
Combining power, thrash and speed metal with lyrical themes based on classic horror and mythology, Lycanthro unleashed their debut EP “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse” in 2018. The EP introduced the band’s heavy, yet melodic sound, with influences from both European and American power metal styles, along with classic thrash. Frontman James Delbridge’s howling high vocals meshed with piercing guitars, a booming rhythm section as well as uses of instruments such as piano and classical guitar forged a lasting powerful sound on their local metal scene and beyond.
With 2020 kicking into full throttle with their first-ever Canadian tour, Lycanthro found it to be perfect time to announce the release of their first full length “Mark of The Wolf” via Greek label Alone Records later this year.
Vocalist/guitarist James Delbridge comments:
“This album will be a diverse listening experience. Even though everything in one way or another is under the umbrella of power or thrash metal, there is something for everyone on ‘Mark of The Wolf’ in terms of melodic metal. There are soaring high vocals, epic guitar solos, lots of harmonies, heavy chugging riffs, a few odd instruments, and even a breakdown or two. Lyrically, the content is varied and we think fans will appreciate the different dimensions this album goes to. Some songs are homages to different stories from pop culture and media that we hold near and dear to our hearts, other songs are meant to bring the listener on a journey through the worlds within the song, and others are just to the listener can marvel in the epicness of metal!”
“Mark of the Wolf” will feature 10 high voltage tracks, all recorded once again at Wolf Lake Studios in Lac-des-Loups, Quebec. The album was mastered by Jack Kosto, who is best known as the lead guitarist for power metal band Seven Spires. Lycanthro also brought in a professional chamber choir for the song ‘Fallen Angels Prayer’, which is a planned single off the full length.
Delbridge adds:
“It’s always a unique experience to record there, as essentially, it’s a studio in a cabin in the woods. The area is very atmospheric and there’s isn’t that many outward distractions around so we can be productive and focus on the music. It’s like a camping trip mixed with recording!”
