Montreal’s Blackened Thrash DIZASTRA To Unleash Debut Album “Elder Sun” Nov 22

New Music Video ‘Vae Victus’

L-R – Pietro Giampa (Drums), Nathan Afilalo (Bass), Matt Conti (Guitar/Vocals), Denis Stoisin (Lead Guitar)

From the bowels of Satan’s lair, DIZASTRA has come. After a long wait, their first full-length album “Elder Sun” is ready to massacre fans on November 22, 2019.

Following their 2015 EP ‘Hell’s Gate’, Montreal based DIZASTRA summons unholy ferocity in their music merging the sounds of black, thrash and melodic heavy metal to coagulate a distinct sound.

During this past summer, these evildoers unleashed the music video for the first single off the album ‘Vae Victus’. An anthem to riding a dragon through Hades, this track combines all the elements of what makes heavy metal what it is. Bringing together shrieking vocals, pummeling drums, cosmic-threatening bass, and electrifying (literally) solos.

The video for ‘Vae Victus’ demonstrates their meager budget and Tolkien level storytelling in a compelling tale of time travel and high adventure. Wizards, warriors, battle, and friendship all come together to dazzle viewers across the globe.

Watch ‘Vae Victus’ here

and on Spotify.

Other tracks featured on “Elder Sun” such as ‘The Second Coming’ and ‘Dead ov Night’, steer the listener through sonic waters vicious and dark, assaulting you with wicked verses and melodious choruses. ‘Gnosis’ and ‘Piercing The Veil’ inject the album with a dose of mayhem and speed while ‘Astaroth’ closes the full-length by bringing listeners from the profoundest deeps to high peeks of heaven.

Altogether, the alchemy crafted in “Elder Sun” brings a sound both new and familiar to the votaries of thrash and black metal. There is an undeniable shrill-heaviness to this album that gets paired with a thrilling melody to create a thing as awe-inspiring and terrifying as the flames of our solar star. And much like the forbidding beauty of a westering sky, DIZASTRA’s “Elder Sun” is not to be missed.

Album pre-order on Bandcamp.

From North Bay, Canada comes WITHIN NOSTALGIA and their gritty video for the single ‘Death Lifes’ Lover’ off their recent release “Conjuring A New Reality”.

Cold and haunting, the video shows off the band’s flair for combining styles, with a diverse mix of sounds ranging from sadness to uplifting all the while staying powerful and unique. As a live fan favourite it was chosen as their second single and ultimately a video. Going into the particulars of the track is front woman and songwriter Alyssa Broere:

“With its catchy hook and thought-provoking lyrical concept, this one is always a favorite for us to play as well. Amongst the catchiness and melody, the bridge brings forth a death metal feel that segues back into the melody.”

“Conjuring A New Reality” was released on October 5th of this year and was met with an overwhelming local response. Taking notes from bands such as Agalloch, Katatonia, and Fen; WITHIN NOSTALGIA creates a bleak melodic soundscape filled with honest emotion and aggression. The band says about the album:

“’Conjuring A New Reality’ as a whole covers much musical ground in terms of sound. Peaks and valleys emerge, evoking vast emotions. We want to create something that allows fans to expand their minds as well as think and feel life and all its highs and lows.”

Recommended for fans of post-metal, black gaze, and black metal, the video can be seen via its premiere on Bravewords HERE.

“Conjuring A New Reality” is available on Bandcamp, Spotify, and Apple Music.

Track Listing:
1. Heart In The Eye Of The Skull (8:53)
2. Air Of Deceit (6:50)
3. Code Of The Common (6:49)

5. Soul Mirror (6:00)
6. Lost In Aversion (6:34)

About:

Nostalgia began in the summer of 2013 in Burlington, Ontario as a one-woman project inspired by the beauty of nature and dark emotion. Alyssa Broere wrote and recorded all instruments (drums, bass, guitar, and vocals) with only demo songs released. With relocation to North Bay winds of change began to set in and the addition of two members James Ahola (bass and backing vocals) and Kye Bell (drums), a live and full sound were created. In October of 2016, they released their first EP entitled “Visions”. Chad Hemmings joined on lead guitar for a fuller sound and as of January 27, 2018, the much-anticipated debut album “Internal Momentum Of Fate” came to fruition.

Following a brief lineup change, Liam Ahola and Sara Vi were added to the roster and Kye exchanged his drum sticks for a guitar. Nostalgia changed their name to Within Nostalgia as a new and more sophisticated sound was created. On October 5, 2019, their full length entitled “Conjuring A New Reality” was released into the world and is being met with great response all over the globe.

“Executing a production influenced by the delicate line of the Post-Rock adorned with atmospheric Shoegaze passages, the voices interpreted by the women are aggressive roars of black metal which are interspersed with soft voices giving harmony to the compositions etc. A release inspired by the beauty of nature that must be heard by fans of the genre” – El Abismo Del Metal

From darkness, Dizastra rides forth.

First there were two: Matt Conti and Denis Stoisin. Having played the likes of Quebec’s Heavy MTL festival and qualifying as finalists for Wacken Metal Battle Canada, these were veteran performers. Together they mixed melody with ferocity, merging the sounds of Black, Thrash and Melodic Heavy Metal to create Dizastra. Within a year of forming , the band their first EP titled Hell’s Gate in 2015, bringing them recognition as a rising force within the Quebec Heavy Metal scene.

Like tempered steel, Dizastra’s line-up was solidified in the summer of 2017 with the addition of Nathan Afilalo of Dissension on bass and Petey Giampa of Venomenon on drums. The contributions of these new members summoned new speed and malice to the group’s sound. With the band firmly established, they dug their heels in the trenches and began writing material for their first full-length album: “Elder Sun.” And four years after forming, at last, the album is here.

Dizastra released “Vae Victus” as the album’s first single. Bringing together shrieking vocals, pummeling drums, cosmos-threatning bass and electrifying solos, Vae Victus strides in triumph through listeners ears. Accompanied by a Tolkienesque music video of time travel and high adventure, “Vae Victus” is a perfect prelude for what is to come in “Elder Sun.” The following songs, such as “The Second Coming” and “Dead ov Night,” steer the listener through sonic  waters vicious and dark, assaulting you with wicked verses and melodious choruses. “Gnosis” and “Piercing the Veil” inject the album with dose of mayhem and speed while Astaroth closes the album by bringing listeners from the profoundest deeps to high peeks of heaven.

Altogether, the alchemy crafted in Elder Sun brings a sound both new and familiar to the votaries of Thrash and Black metal. There is an undeniable shrill-heaviness to the album that gets paired with a thrilling melody to create a thing as awe-inspiring and terrifying as the flames of our solar star. And much like the forbidding beauty of a westering sky, Dizastra’s Elder Sun is not to be missed.

SHORT BIO

Tylor Dory Trio was conceived in late 2012 by guitarist/vocalist Tylor Dory and drummer Jonathan Webster. Wanting to step aside from playing in extreme metal bands, Dory and Webster decided to form the duo to explore the music close to their hearts – proggy weird stuff. The trio was completed in late 2013 after the addition of their bassist Slava Fedossenko.

Bringing together influences like Opeth, Alice In Chains, and Rush; TDT is characterized by proficient musicianship, tight songwriting, and powerful hooks. It’s progressive metal that isn’t pretentious. TDT loves pushing the boundaries of what a power trio can accomplish, but above all else, it’s about the songs.

Musically, they take their fans on a journey through light and dark tonalities, crushing heaviness to ethereal cleanliness, through peaks and valleys that end up coming full circle.

Their latest full length “Unsought Salvation” was recorded with the prolific Christer-Andre Cederberg at his studio in Kristiansand, Norway in February 2017, to be released December 20, 2019, to follow their 2015 EP “Carried Away”

LONG BIO

Tylor Dory Trio was conceived in late 2012 by guitarist/vocalist Tylor Dory and drummer Jonathan Webster. Wanting to step aside from playing in extreme metal bands, Dory and Webster decided to form the duo to explore the music close to their hearts – proggy weird stuff. Over time, the project took on new members, and other names, and by the time the first EP was scheduled to be released, it had distilled down to three. The trio was completed in late 2013 after the addition of their bassist Slava Fedossenko.

Even though Dory’s name is used for the band as the primary songwriter, writing is a collaborative process with each musician contributing equally to the process. Bringing together influences like Opeth, Alice In Chains, and Rush; TDT is characterized by proficient musicianship, tight songwriting, and powerful hooks. It’s progressive metal that isn’t pretentious. TDT loves pushing the boundaries of what a power trio can accomplish, but above all else, it’s about the songs.

After retooling their sound to complement their lineup, the band released their debut EP “Carried Away” in September of 2015. Showcasing powerful vocal harmonies, complex but catchy riffs and adventurous arrangements, “Carried Away” is a sign of things to come from a band not afraid to stretch out and think big. Musically, they take their fans on a journey through light and dark tonalities, crushing heaviness to ethereal cleanliness, through peaks and valleys that end up coming full circle. With lyrical themes involving personal events, current divides in society and the desire to see them mended and philosophical questions.

Their latest full length “Unsought Salvation” was recorded with the prolific Christer-Andre Cederberg at his studio in Kristiansand, Norway in February 2017, to be released December 20, 2019, to follow their 2015 EP “Carried Away”

About:

Born in 1989, singer, songsmith and multi-instrumentalist Morgan Rider had his earliest imaginings of life as a musician while contending with an often tumultuous childhood. Overhearing his mother – who is a trained operatic soprano – his love and understanding of music blossomed at an early age. Morgan eventually spending his adolescent and early adult years performing in touring metal bands – appearing on tours and large festivals across North America and Europe.

During the summer of 2017, Morgan’s adoration of folk, classical and blues music finally culminated into a project and the beginnings of a collection of songs. The name Deep Dark River had been stuck in his head for years, as a byproduct of his writings and alluding to the very nature of his ideas as a musician and artist. As such, Deep Dark River became the name by which he would perform beneath.

While his ideas began to take form, so did his mindset for what became the early stages of Deep Dark River. In March of 2018, the first original Deep Dark River single ‘The Golden Bough’ was released digitally worldwide. Morgan began performing live and also toured solo to the Canadian east coast to promote the single. In the summer of 2018, the debut album Deep Dark River was released and supported with a full Canadian solo tour over 5 weeks.

As 2018 neared its end, Morgan called upon his friend Nathen Morrison to contribute cello to the sounds of Deep Dark River, solidifying the project as a duo. The pair immediately began rehearsing and recording the first of a four-album quadrilogy – which Morgan had written the bulk of on his travels. The first single featuring the pair – Starfire – was released in March of 2019 along with the album “King of The Forest” released on June 21st, 2019 via North Soul Records. Not slowing down, the pair have their next album just months later “The Deep Dark Blue” planned for release via North Soul Records on November 22nd, 2019 with its lead single ‘The Seafaerers’.
