Renowned Greek guitar hero CONSTANTINE has just unleashed his brand new video of “Bushido”.

After almost 7 years of absence, CONSTANTINE from Athens, Greece is releasing his most promising work to date, his second solo album “Aftermath” on May 31, 2019.

”Aftermath” itself is a modern metal masterpiece with CONSTANTINE delivering his most soulful, technical, inspired performances & compositions with collaborations with some of the most prominent vocalists in the world of metal & rock, such as: Ralf Scheepers (Primal Fear), Bjorn ”Speed” Strid (Soilwork), Schmier (Destruction), Apollo Papathanasio (Spiritual Beggars, ex-Firewind) & Chris Clancy (Wearing Scars).

With a wide variety of influences, this release promises to question genre boundaries and push limits:

“The new record is in its entirety a collection of songs that cover the whole spectrum of the heavy metal genre combining the best elements of modern & classic metal/rock as well. I think that it’s an album that will provide a listening pleasure to everybody who’s into this genre of music.”

CONSTANTINE is confident that his work will invoke a great response from fans around the world:

“I’m actually very eager and to be honest, I cannot hide my anticipation to share the new music with the fans. I’m also really positive about how the fans will receive it since the album itself includes not only some brilliant guitar work, but phenomenal performances from the vocalists participating on the songs as well.”

”Aftermath” will be released May 31, 2019 through Rockshots Records.

Bio:

Constantine was born & raised in Athens, Greece. At the age of 12, he began learning to play the guitar by copying songs from his record collection of his favorite bands such as Iron Maiden, Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Judas Priest & Exodus. As a young teenager, he soon started to evolve more on his study & approach on the guitar by getting influenced from guitar heroes like Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, Marty Friedman, Michael Romeo & Zakk Wylde.

Constantine’s playing over the years has evolved & ranges from shredding riffs to soaring solos with memorable twin guitar melodic harmonies, fluid tapping-arpeggio lines, wide vibrato, and melodic pentatonics.

Despite the young of his age, time and work had proved that Constantine’s flexibility is undoubted both in performances but in compositions in different genres/styles of music. Constantine’s efforts over the years have taken many forms including playing in Nightrage (2007), Descending (2008-2012), Mystic Prophecy (2008-2012), Nightfall (2010-2013), Primal Fear (2012).

His first solo album ‘Shredcore’ was released in 2010 and the follow-up ‘Aftermath’ will be released in May of 2019.

Guitarist Frankie C. (Vesperia) Unleashes His Shredding Playthrough “Fall of The Hammer”

Debut EP “Cellular Damascus” Out Now!

Frankie C., known for his guitar work in Canadian symphonic death metal band Vesperia recently released his side project entitled “Cellular Damascus” this past March. An instrumental solo project that came to light after he was crowned champion of season one of “Shredders of Metal” presented by Banger TV. The EP is technical, groovy and energetic, and lets the listener focus on the guitar work that he takes great pride in orchestrating.

Posting his latest playthrough video for his track “Fall of The Hammer”, Frankie C. comments:

“‘Fall Of The Hammer’ was the main inspiration for the intro, ‘So It Begins’. The idea was to come out of the intro and keep building and building. You will notice this song gets darker and heavier as it goes. There are an array of melodic passages, driving grooves as well as fast picking and arpeggio sections. This song will keep you headbanging throughout the tune.”

Watch the shredding power of “Fall of The Hammer” at the following link: https://youtu.be/ScxRxFp-QUs

Frankie C. adds:

“I want fans to have fun listening to ‘Cellular Damascus’. I wanted to create interesting melodic phrases, but still have heavy riffs to headbang along with, shred hard, but not lose sight of the music and try to have a clear mix where things aren’t overly processed but all instruments/parts are still clear and audible.”

All four tracks on this debut flow together and show off excellent musicianship. Excited to be focusing on more solo work in the future, Frankie C. has confirmed another release in the future.

“Cellular Damascus” is now out as of March 13, 2019, and available for stream and download on Bandcamp, Spotify, Youtube, iTunes.

Track Listing:
1. So It Begins (1:06)
2. Fall Of The Hammer (2:55)
3. Cellular Damascus (3:14)
4. Life By Fire (3:19)

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – April 17, 2019

For fans of Mastodon, Baroness, High On Fire, Black Tusk

PALE MARE Announces Eastern Canadian Tour Dates (QC/PEI/NS/NB)

Self-Titled EP Out Now!

As their name foretells, Toronto heavy metallers PALE MARE are stampeding across Eastern Canada (QC/PEI/NS/NB) this May bringing with them death in the form of crushing, fuzzy groove over a total of nine stops.

Centered around big loud riffs, PALE MARE can be defined as thick and groovy with their upcoming album that is a “substantial step up from the first effort”, 2017’s self-titled EP released via Medusa Crush Records. The band explains further:

“The songs are heavier, louder, groovier, more crushing and they showcase a much more diverse side of the band, where we are able to explore different sonic territory. When we hit the road, fans will get some new sounds to feast on!”

Quoting their music as “loud, intense, ugly and heavy as fuck”, PALE MARE looks forward to devastating fans especially those who also enjoy Mastodon, Baroness and High On Fire.

“When fans listen to the music we want to a black hole to tear open in their mind and suck all the mundane dregs of life into the nothingness of the void, and the listener can experience freedom as they surrender to the sheer power and might of the riffs and the music.”

Fans can accept their fate on the following tour stops listed below.

PALE MARE has shared the stage with Eyehategod, Corrosion of Conformity, Windhand, Satans Satyres, Weedeater, Mutoid Man, Serial Hawk, Black Wizard, King Buffalo and Perturbator.

PALE MARE‘s 2017 self-titled EP is available for stream and download on Spotify, iTunes, Youtube plus cassette and vinyl on Bandcamp.

About:

Pale Mare is a Toronto-based heavy metal band, born out of the desire to play music that is loud, aggressive, and full of thick groovy riffs.  The band released their self-titled EP in November of 2017 through Medusa Crush Records and was met with high praise from the likes of Metal Hammer, Exclaim!, and many more.

Having provided local support for Eyehategod, Corrosion of Conformity, Windhand, Satans Satyres, Weedeater, Serial Hawk, Black Wizard, King Buffalo, Set and Setting and Perturbator, Pale Mare have established themselves in their home town of Toronto as a massive force to be reckoned with, and have attracted a loyal fan base through relentlessly crushing live performances. Their sound has been likened to early Baroness, High On Fire, Mastodon, and Black Tusk; full of fire, attitude, brimstone, tone, and soul.

“Sounding like Motorhead developing a penchant for doom, this self-titled EP is raw, heavy and filthy in the best possible way.” – Metal Hammer

“Filled with dense, High On Fire-style groove-laden riffs, the release combines crushing aggression with doomy rhythms and harsh noisy soundscapes” – Exclaim!
