NEWS RELEASE
Montreal, QC – February 14, 2020
For fans of Skeletonwitch, Darkthrone
Montreal Black/Thrash Maudiir Offers Debut EP “Le Temps Peste” For Free Download
Recently unleashing his debut EP “Le Temps Peste” on February 7th, Maudiir, the one-man-band black /thrash project created by F. is offering the release for FREE download via Bandcamp HERE.
Coming from the underbelly of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Maudiir is an outlet for observations on obedience and industrialization riddled with man-made waste. With 80s heavy metal influences alongside black metal and punk, Maudiir is unique in sound; hauntingly dark while being corrosive and galloping.
Starting with guitar, F. works his way through each sullen track, adding drums, recording all the colorations and textures of the guitars, adding bass, and finally writing the words, very often at the same time they are being recorded.
The pessimistic aura of the music combines with lyrics about consumer society, religion, science going awry, addiction to technology, and environmental decay. “Le Temps Peste” is intense dark music. Another release is currently in the works.
F. adds:
“‘Le Temps Peste’ is a riff-driven EP, corrosive and galloping, mixing black metal, thrash metal and NWOBHM, that makes it a unique listening experience. The blood, sweat, and tears of a one-man project.”
F. (ex-Deeply Confused, Tears for the Dead Gods) is also currently leading prog/thrash metal outfit Trinity Blast.
Maudiir is F.
Track Listing:
1. Product (5:14)
2. Abuse The Used (4:30)
3. Wasteland (5:15)
4. Surge of Fire (4:39)
5. Snakes of Creation (6:43)
EP Length: 26:23

“Métal de bord en bord, ce projet fait partie de ceux dont les sonorités sont parfaitement heavy, mais ô combien inclassables, où se mêlent habilement les influences et saveurs auditives les plus diverses. Avec Maudiir, on fusionne avec brio black, thrash et death mélodique, avec une touche de métal classique et de NWOBHM dans les acérés riffs. Le temps peste inclut tout plein de riffs aussi corrosifs que galopants, qui rendraient très fiers autant un prêtre traître qu’une vierge de fer, risquant très bien de vous donner un sale mal de cou.” – BoulevardBrutal.com
“Metal through and through, this project is one of those whose sounds are perfectly heavy, but oh so unclassifiable, where the most diverse influences and flavors are skillfully mixed. With Maudiir, black, thrash and melodic death are brilliantly merged, with a touch of classic metal and NWOBHM in the sharp riffs. Le Temps Peste is full of corrosive and galloping riffs, which would make proud a traitor priest or an iron virgin, most likely to leave you with a bad neckache.” – BoulevardBrutal.com

0 Rockshots Records: Finnish Melodic Death Metal TORCHIA Unleash New Single “Memoirs”

NEWS RELEASE
Montreal, QC – February 14, 2020
For fans of King Diamond, At the Gates, Morbid Angel
Rockshots Records: Finnish Melodic Death Metal TORCHIA Unleash New Single “Memoirs”
New Album “The Coven” Out March 27th
Pre-Orer Available
Finnish death metallers TORCHIA have unleashed their next single ‘Memoirs’, off their forthcoming sophomore album “The Coven” due out March 27th via ROCKSHOTS RECORDS.
The track is now available for stream and download at the following links:
YouTube – https://youtu.be/kH8CHJc_1qg
Spotify – https://spoti.fi/2Sxom5n
https://spoti.fi/2Sxom5n
Apple Music (immediate download) – https://apple.co/37eurt0
Edward Torchia comments about the track:
“‘Memoirs’ presents TORCHIA at our very core. I think the signature melody of this song is one of the most memorable our guitarist Ville Riitamaa has ever written, and I love the fact that he paired it with an onslaught of death/thrash riffs. In a way, I feel ’Memoirs’ is a hybrid between ’Fury’ and ’Face of Hate’, two of the most popular songs from TORCHIA’s debut album. Lyrically, it’s a story of black magic, betrayal, and of course, death.”
Arising from the inner darkness of composer and lyricist Ville Riitamaa, TORCHIA takes inspiration from a multitude of metal subgenres and their mission is to revitalize the genre of melodic death metal by bringing in a sense of danger and unpredictability.
“The Coven” is now available for pre-order at the Rockshots Records‘ official store – http://bit.ly/Torchia_PREORDER
