Out Now! One Man Shredder THANATOS Unleashes Debut Self-Titled EP

Focusing on creating an inspiring, yet unsettling experience for the listener, Thanatos, brings brutal and technical groove to your ears. Created by Ian Waye, Thanatos is a one-man project, coalesced as a method of metaphorical storytelling and a means to culminate the riffs, melodies, and licks crafted through years of composition, some ideas dating back to 2012.

Unleashing his latest single ‘Shores of Styx ’, the track completes the release of his debut self-titled EP by following his previous discharged shredders over these last few months.

For fans of Necrophagist, Beyond Creation and Psycroptic, Thanatos’ debut EP was recorded, mixed and mastered by Ian Waye.

Waye expands on how he wants his listeners to react:

“It should floor them. The aim of Thanatos is to instill a deep desire to develop oneself and master your arts. The lyrics speak to this and the instrumentation of cultivated with meticulous care. The music represents an apotheosis, achieved through a commitment to being the best musician possible and the lyrics embody this.”

Montreal, QC – December 13, 2018

Enter “The Dark Dimension” w/ Nova Scotia’s Atmospheric Prog MARC DURKEE’s Shredding Guitar Video
via TechnicalMusicReview

New Album “Remain In Stasis” Out January 2019; Album Pre-Order Starts Dec 14th

New Music Video Offers “A Way To Escape”

When an artist uses his own name to present his music to the world, he is being truly fearless, with no identity to hide behind but his own.

This is as it should be, no great art was ever produced without great bravery, and Nova Scotia’s Marc Durkee is an artist unafraid to dig deep into both his own personal suffering, and the world around him for inspiration.

Inspired by Katatonia, Tesseract, Anathema, Devin Townsend, Coheed & Cambria, Durkee describes his music as “a blend of progressive, metal/rock, doom metal, post-hardcore, and post-rock.”

Durkee’s new album, solo in the true sense of the word, is entitled ‘Remain In Stasis’, and is loaded with deep meaning to this courageous and talented artist, as he explains.

“The first meaning is personal. I’ve been stuck in a state of depersonalisation for almost five years now. For me, it’s been a chronic symptom of dealing with years of depression and stress, and it’s unrelenting. When it’s at its worst, it removes mostly all motivation and enjoyment from my life. While that is unfortunate, it does serve as major source of inspiration for song-writing…The second meaning is more political and universal. I feel that humanity is at a unique point in our history, with technology and social media allowing us to communicate and express ourselves in ways that were previously unimaginable. And yet, nobody really DOES communicate. It seems as though it’s mostly used as a platform to bicker over political ideals and agendas and create discourse, or for anyone to use as their own personal performance venue. Everyone wants to be seen and heard, even those who really don’t deserve to be.”

Marc Durkee is one artist who really does deserve to be heard, and with his new guitar playthrough for his second single, he’s shredding fans into “The Dark Dimension”. The single is the first track on the album and it kicks off things from the very first heavy, progressive note and features a catchy chorus plus a technical, synth-laden bridge.

0 PureGrainAudio – Trollwar – Oath of The Storm “The whole record is an adventure… At the end of the day, I definitely think Trollwar is onto something here; they are proudly waving the folk-metal banner and are destined for big things.”

“The whole record is an adventure; the sequencing flows well from song to song and is bumpered nicely by an intro that sets the mood, plus an outro that gently brings things to a close, returning the listener safely back to their respective realities. At the end of the day, I definitely think Trollwar is onto something here; they are proudly waving the folk-metal banner and are destined for big things.”
