0 Games, Brrrains & A Head-Banging Life – Album Review: Ashen Horde – Fallen Cathedrals (Extreme Metal Music/Rockshots Records) “With opener Parity Lost, Ashen Horde set the bar very early on and surprise too. What initially seems as though it’s just a wild and furious blackened death metal opener transforms the further it goes on. A clean vocals segment really stands out but even the deep, beefiness of the riffs and rapid pace impresses. A hell of a start.”

0 The Metal Crypt – Accursed Spawn – The Virulent Host (PRC Music) – “The Virulent Host one of those albums on which you discover something new on a regular basis, which helps keep it fresh… One hell of a debut and one that sets expectations high for the next album. Oops!”

  • March 16, 2019

  • · Accursed Spawn

What makes The Virulent Host fun and interesting to listen to is how much they have going on “behind the scenes”. More often than not you’ll find the guitars doing something a little bit more intricate in the background—something you can easily miss if you’re not paying close attention—and this really gives the songs another dimension. It can be a guitar going on a speedfest of its own or kicking it down a notch for a little bit of melody… The Virulent Host one of those albums on which you discover something new on a regular basis, which helps keep it fresh. Mind you, even if it weren’t for that, just the “basic” death metal elements in here slay like there’s no tomorrow and there’s more than enough here to fuck yourself up trying to headbang to it for 41 minutes. One hell of a debut and one that sets expectations high for the next album. Oops!

SHORT BIO

In the wilderness of Kimberley, British Columbia, Canada, with a fascination for astronomy, Kevin Thiessen (guitar), Daniel Airth (guitar), Colin Righton (percussion), and Ferdy Belland (bass) united to create the interplanetary, instrumental prog metal that would come to be known as Phaeton.

Since 2017, they have been working quickly as a collaborative unit, honing their skills and orchestrating an attention-focused listening experience. One drenched in joy and wonder and the emotional, visceral release that only prog-metal can deliver. And the lack of lyrical interference only allows the listener the better opportunity to let their imaginations run wild with the music, drifting emotionally away on the solar winds to wherever they wish to soar.

Phaeton can be experienced with the release of the self titled debut album out now as of December 21, 2018.

LONG BIO

In the wilderness of Kimberley, British Columbia, Canada, with a fascination for astronomy, Kevin Thiessen (guitar), Daniel Airth (guitar), Colin Righton (percussion), and Ferdy Belland (bass) united to create the interplanetary, instrumental prog metal that would come to be known as Phaeton.

Named for the theoretical proto-planet which collided with Ancient Earth during the Primordial Era, Phaeton combines technically ferocious compositions of modern metal with the ambitious song-arrangement mindset of classic prog-rock, formulating and intense and unique approach to instrumental prog-metal.

Conceptually, the idea of life itself, in all its beauty and wonder and majesty, emerging from an instant of catastrophic cosmic violence became the primary inspiration for their dramatic music birthed from the void in thrilling bursts and unexpected turns.

Since 2017, they have been working quickly as a collaborative unit, honing their skills and orchestrating an attention-focused listening experience. One drenched in joy and wonder and the emotional, visceral release that only prog-metal can deliver. And the lack of lyrical interference only allows the listener the better opportunity to let their imaginations run wild with the music, drifting emotionally away on the solar winds to wherever they wish to soar.

Phaeton can be experienced with the release of the self titled debut album out now as of December 21, 2018.
