The Sky Is On Fire’ is quite ethereal in the instrumentation, with acoustic and electric guitar parts complementing each other well. It is more of a ballad than the first two tracks, but at the breakdown there is definitely an Alter Bridge feel to the guitar playing, and I really like the track.

OMINOUS ECLIPSE To Unleash New Album “Sinister” September 2018

A very ambitious band passionate about writing and playing extreme music, Ottawa ON’s OMINOUS ECLIPSE draws their inspiration from a wide variety of genres to create a unique hybrid sound with death metal being the main aspect combined with elements of thrash, groove, black, melodic, etc. Active since 2014, OMINOUS ECLIPSE has been making waves on the local scene opening for names such as Revocation, The Agonist, Kalmah, Archspire, Incantation, Vesperia, Beyond Creation, Rivers of Nihil to name a few. In the same year of their conception, they unleashed a four song EP “Beyond The Apocalypse” with a full length “End Of Days” following not long after in 2015. Now in 2018, they return with their sophomore album “Sinister” due out September 14th.
The band comments:
“There’s no concept or theme on this album so all the songs have different meaning. The title track itself divulges into the inevitable end to humanity and potentially the world with it. It discusses the issues around the globe and also addresses the ignorance and selfishness of those indirectly affected by the chaos. It has a strong “United We Stand, Divided We Fall” theme in regards to how people can turn their backs on those in need in order to save their own skin, which ironically will lead to our end as it causes people to turn on each other. Musically for this album, you will notice we have evolved from the first release and have moved away from thrashy overtones to become more diverse including more heavily stated melodic and technical with a solid groove and death foundation.”
OMINOUS ECLPISE‘s first three singles, the album’s title track “Sinister”, “Spiral Into Insanity” and “The Horde” were assaulted upon metal fans earlier this year and can be heard at the following links:

“Their new song “Spiral Into Insanity” has a strong death metal foundation, including very melodic leads, but there’s more than enough groovy thrash inspiration and even a hint of black metal there. ” – Decibel Magazine
“‘Sinister’ is a high-energy track launched by heartless riff jabs, ear-scouring string squeals, and neck-snapping drumwork. The vocals come for your throat, too, in an effusion of heartless roars and face-scraping shrieks, and the song is accented by flurries of spidery, darting fretwork and by a pair of flashy, fluid, but demented solos. It becomes a thrashing gallop, but without becoming any less venomous in its delivery.” – No Clean Singing
“As the evolution of Ominous Eclipse has progressed, the band have hybridized a seething core of death metal sound with elements of thrash, black metal, and melodic death metal. But if “The Horde” is a sign of what’s to come next, they’re reaching for new levels of monstrous and electrifying destructiveness.” – No Clean Singing
“Whilst we wait with anticipation to hear the rest of the record ”Sinister” is yet another outstanding track on what looks set to be a very exciting record from ‘Ominous Eclipse’.” – Spirit Level Magazine
“The crowd was stellar at Mavericks, where each of the four bands were well represented by their fan bases. Opening on the night were Ominous Eclipse, whose chunky, frantic thrash metal din was led by their howling frontman. Largely drawing from their 2015 album End of Days, the four-piece pounded through six songs, tackling tracks like “Pestilence,” Abandoned” and the album’s particularly solid title track. Helping to limber the crowd for the chaos to come, they called for a “wall of death” in the confines of the club and the fans delivered, clearing the centre of the floor before the opposing sides barrelled into one another, bodies flying everywhere.” – Exclaim! (Live Review opening for Kalmah April 2016)

0 La Grosse Radio – Infrared – Saviours
0 Battlehlem – INFRARED ”Saviours”
If you have dreamed of a cross between Annihilator and Vio-Lence then this might very well be the album for you. It is both melodic as well as aggressive with a just enough dose of technical tomfoolery.
0 Metal Gods TV – Infrared Album Review: “Saviours” – “a savage and brutal journey of eighties inspired thrash metal, laden with heaviness and menace, heads will be banging hard from start to finish.”
“a savage and brutal journey of eighties inspired thrash metal, laden with heaviness and menace, heads will be banging hard from start to finish.”
0 Overdrive Music Magazine – Review: Infrared – Saviours
“I can happily say that if you’re a fan of that classic balls to the wall thrash metal sound then you will most certainly get a kick out of Infrared’s “Saviours”… a prime example of what thrash metal is and what it should always be. These Canadian thrashers have stayed true to the sounds they knew when they were in their earlier years and have bought that sound back to the modern era.”

0 PureGrainAudio.com Launches Painted Movie Poster Art Series “Epilogue” by Damon Kardon
(contact info below)
NEWS RELEASE
Montreal, QC – July 6, 2018
PureGrainAudio.com Launches Painted Movie Poster Art Series “Epilogue” by Damon Kardon
PureGrainAudio.com announces their new mixed-media art series “Epilogue” presented by artist Damon Kardon. The art series honors classic horror/sci-fi films and the creative promotional art that was presented to the public at the time of their premiere dates. All of these films represented in this art series are celebrating a milestone anniversary of their release and the impact they have made in pop culture history. Artist Damon Kardon has chosen specific films that influenced him over the years through their distinct tone, cinematography and direction. He is expressing his emotions felt from viewing each film through his art process of painting key images and colors that also represent the story of each film. Each poster design starts as a painting and then is manipulated in photoshop.
Kardon comments:
“As a kid who loved going to the movies and also enjoyed the classic painted poster designs of Drew Struzan, I dreamed of bringing my art style into the world of interpretive movie posters. The term “Epilogue” in film represents the final scenes in which a recap or narrative of what happens to the characters is given. It can be represented in a montage, which is how I interpret these works I’m creating.”
Epilogue #1 will be a 35th anniversary movie poster design for “Christine” and can be viewed at the following link: http://puregrainaudio.com/reviews/epilogue-painted-movie-poster-art-series-feature-1-christine-35th-anniversary

Released on June 10th, 2018 the new track is no throwback to the 90’s, but a heavy, modern rock song that doesn’t look back.

Sven Gali built a name fast with their live shows; drawing growing crowds on the Canadian and US circuit while building their songwriting chops and a wild reputation. David Bendeth signed the band to BMG Music Canada in 1991 and produced the self-titled debut, released in 1992.
The album included singles and videos for “Under The Influence”, “Tie Dyed Skies”, “In My Garden”, and the ballad, “Love Don’t Live Here Anymore” (#6 CanCon song of 1993). It included a cover of Teenage Head’s “Disgusteen” featuring guest vocals by Frankie Venom. The video for “Under the Influence” won the MuchMusic Best Metal Video award in 1993. The band was nominated for Hard Rock Album of the Year and Most Promising Band at the 1993 Juno Awards. Sven Gali went gold in Canada that year selling over 50,000 units.
Sven Gali toured extensively throughout Canada and the USA, Germany, Belgium, Ireland and the UK, headlining and on the bill with acts including April Wine, Foreigner, Candlebox, Pearl Jam and Def Leppard.
Their follow up album, Inwire (1995), recorded at London Bridge Studios in Seattle, was produced by Kelly Grey (Candlebox, Brother Kane, Dokken) and featured guest musicians Christopher Thorn of Blind Melon, and Candlebox’s Kevin Martin and Scott Mercado.
The band toured for the next year before disbanding in 1996.
