The band adds:

“The album as a whole is an eclectic mix of slow dark black metal jumping into extreme black riffs sometimes slowed down with a death metal riff and into acoustic guitars. There is no set template for this one, just a groove and feel that each of us has brought to the table.”

Calgary’s RED CAIN are thrilled to announce their music video for “Zero” in support of their recently released debut album “Kindred: Act I” has won the Award of Recognition in the Best Music Video category at the Accolade Global Film Competition in Los Angeles.

Music Video – Zero – https://youtu.be/UdlOEHxi1-E

The band comments:

“This is a brilliant and unexpected development that nevertheless validates the work and passion we placed into every track, video, and live performance for “Kindred: Act I” and inspires us even more to share what we do with you – the Red Cain Army!

We want to extend a massive thank you to Rik Zak and Jun Ren – their passion for their craft, for our music, and their relentless pursuit of perfection in the vision all of us created, was a key driver behind the success of “Zero”. We cannot wait to continue collaborating on many more outstanding film projects with these incredibly talented filmmakers.

And of course, we want to thank the entire team that was crucial in making the music video, compelling story, and incredibly cool project that is “ZERO”: R.A.V., Gina Zak, Blaise Zak, Igor Zayarny, Noah Bockmuehl, Arun Chaturvedi, Lucie Brouillard, Gary Walsh, Shae Dean Barry, Kristen Fischbuch, and Violet the hedgehog.

Check out the video, let us know what you think, and stay vigilant – there is much more to come!”

Born out of the emerging metal scene of Calgary, AB, RED CAIN is a modern melodic metal project with European roots. With intricate songwriting, a heavy yet melodic feel reminiscent of progressive acts, and eerie ambient elements, RED CAIN champion a fluid, dynamic, and unique musical style centered around telling dark, conceptual Faustian sagas and constructing those into an unforgettable live experience. Listeners might well pick out elements reminiscent of such luminary acts as Kamelot, Symphony X, Tesseract, Draconian, Marilyn Manson, whipped into a venomous new shape.

The band released their first full-length “Kindred: Act I” on March 1, 2019. The album was produced by Sascha Laskow (Every Hour Kills, ex-Divinity) with the band at Perfect Filth Studios and features guests Kobra Paige (Kobra And The Lotus), Daniel Louden (Benevolent Like Quietus) and guitarist Tyler Corbett. The album’s artwork was done by Timur Khabirov with cover design by Igor Zayarny.

“Overall, this was a very original album. I find it very difficult to locate a counterpart for RED CAIN, as they have clearly created their own sound in the genre. What we have here is a two headed beast of sad and melancholy music on one side and angry and raging music on the other. The two combine somewhere in the middle with flair for the dramatic and impassioned vocals. This is definitely worth your time if you are looking for something off the beaten path.” – Metal Temple

“Kindred: Act I is all about raw and unbridled metal power. A thoughtful brand of metal that – for once – does not base itself on mindless growling about the stage along normal lines of metal conduct. Instead they rip the established status quo to pieces and attack with a very unusual metal dish. One that comes with a distinct groove to boot… a very tasty fusion of Progressive and Power Metal that we have rarely seen to date. A metal dish best consumed red-hot. Have some, you will not regret it.” – Rock Music Raider

“I couldn’t be more impressed with this band and album from the opening track “Snake Bouquet” to the last track “Wing Of The Crow” which is an awesome closing track with guest vocals from Kobra Paige of Kobra and The Lotus. This album takes you on an epic and melodic journey, I feel fans of bands from Avatar to Kamelot to Marilyn Manson and anything in between will really love this album.” – Crannk

“Red Cain have produced a very awesome album. It sounds and looks very professional, has great riffs and epic melodies. Keep an eye on these guys, they will come very far.” – Lyrical Spell Magazine
