“The band’s noisy riffs border on doom, with yelled vocals and a punchy rhythm section; fans of Melvins, Unsane and KEN mode will find plenty to love here.” – Decibel Magazine

“Montreal’s the Great Sabatini practice sludgy hardcore with tinges of noise rock, but most importantly do it with a ferocity rarely seen nowadays. Their approach is downright venomous, hitting the midpoint between Melvins’ Stoner Witch and Unsane’s Scattered, Smothered, & Covered — violent, calculating and downright disturbing. Goodbye Audio is the band’s latest offering, fans of the aforementioned as well as Helmet, KEN Mode, Today is the Day and others, pay attention, this record is for you.” – Revolver Mag

“Goodbye Audio is a heady album in all of the best ways possible, honouring the past while also elevating the genre in ways so unexpected and desperately needed.” – Exclaim!

“Four years on from their psyche ravaging third album, Dog Years, Canadian noise sludgers The Great Sabatini return with another maelstrom of noise bred dissonance which, to continue a trend set from their first releases, is their most irresistible trespass to date. Goodbye Audio is around thirty five minutes of sonic abrasion as unpredictable creatively it is expectantly striking; an invasion of raw and toxic noise intent on caustic seduction.” – The Ringmaster Review

“If you were impressed with The Great Sabatini’s 2014 ‘Dog Years’ LP then prepare to have your jaw kicked off your silly face, because ‘Goodbye Audio’ is even better. ” – Collective Zine

“The other half is a wall of incredibly weighty, borderline-doom metal wailing, contingent upon instrumental tones that constrict like pythons and don’t let go.” – Stereogum

“…hails from further out in left-field with more peaks and valleys than the heads-down-tits-up sludgy rock they fire at you from the stage…these dudes have a 90s alt-rock edge grinding against their love affair with riffs that crash bolts of lightning into stacks of Orange amps in delivering a rumbling calling card of hellacious noise.” – Decibel Magazine

“In 2012, the unpredictability and wickedness of Matterhorn and the gritty violence of the companion release The Royal We established the group as one to watch closely; Dog Years confirms that attention was well worth it.” – Exclaim! Magazine

“The Great Sabatini are not just playing by-the-numbers sludge, but rather mixing things up, and transposing their punk attitude into new forms of musical expression beyond what you might be expecting.” – The Sleeping Shaman

SHORT BIO:

Since forming in Montreal, Canada in late 2007, The Great Sabatini has released four EPs and four full length albums, and logged seemingly endless tour dates around North America and Europe. The music is an aggressive mixture of noise rock, doom, hardcore, and metal wrapped up in a burly sludge aesthetic.

The intrepid Sabatini’s; Sean (guitar/vocals), Joey (bass/vocals), Rob (guitar/vocals), and Steve (drums/vocals) got together with the intention of pursuing their musical dreams with similar goals: slow it down, tune it down, turn it up and keep screaming. With all four of them belting out the lyrics, they play loud, and with conviction.

The raw sound compliments the persistent theme of mortality that the new album centers on, with Sean concocted most of the lyrics for, but with heavy input from his band mates. Going forward, The Great Sabatini is less focused on complicating their parts and set on being direct along with working together and highlighting each other’s strengths.

 

LONG BIO:

Since forming in Montreal, Canada in late 2007, The Great Sabatini has released four EPs and four full length albums, and logged seemingly endless tour dates around North America and Europe. The music is an aggressive mixture of noise rock, doom, hardcore, and metal wrapped up in a burly sludge aesthetic.

The intrepid Sabatini’s; Sean (guitar/vocals), Joey (bass/vocals), Rob (guitar/vocals), and Steve (drums/vocals) got together with the intention of pursuing their musical dreams with similar goals: slow it down, tune it down, turn it up and keep screaming. With all four of them belting out the lyrics, they play loud, and with conviction.

The years of hard work have paid off and to date The Great Sabatini has released an extensive catalogue of recorded works: ‘Burning Wilderness’ EP (2008); ‘Sad Parade Of Yesterdays’ (2009); ‘Napoleon Sodomite’ EP (2011); ‘The Royal We’ EP (2011); ‘Matterhorn’ (2012); ‘Dog Years’ (2014); a split with Anthesis (2015); a split with Godstopper (2016); and ‘Goodbye Audio’ (2018). To amplify on this impressive discography they have also toured extensively across North America and Europe.

After working together for 11 years, the band has refined their heartfelt noisy sludge to perfection. Overcoming situations that prohibit them from getting together often, demos and samples are passed around amongst themselves until a final cohesive body of work is completed. Their upcoming album “Goodbye Audio” due out November 16th, 2018 is a prime example of the harmony and aptitude that can only come from over a decade of being together; it’s a more robust and evolved sound, but still maintaining the caustic energy they had when they started.

When asked about “Goodbye Audio”, they responded: ‘

“We’re trying to give people a raw-ass document of abrasive sludge and noise rock in the most hi-fi package possible. We’re not interested in polish or smoothing over any rough edges… just achieving something of high sonic quality that presents the band that we are today…”

The raw sound only compliments the persistent theme of mortality that the new album centers on, with Sean concocted most of the lyrics for, but with heavy input from his band mates. Going forward, The Great Sabatini is less focused on complicating their parts and set on being direct along with working together and highlighting each other’s strengths.

“Goodbye Audio” will be available on vinyl from No List Records, Ancient Temple Records and No Why Records. Cassette version will be available from Pink Lemonade and feature an exclusive bonus track “Drain The Swamp” only available on that format. Digital download available on TGS’ Bandcamp here.

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – October 1, 2018

Lutharö, from Hamilton, Canada is proud to premeire their music video for their single “Unleash The Beast” via Bravewords.com. The single is the title track off their upcoming EP and is an enticing amalgamation of death metal growling and punchy double kicks accompanied by power metal cleans and fiery guitar solos.

The myriad of dynamic elements and groovy bits make this one powerhouse of a song. Its lyrics follow the familiar situation of someone restraining themselves for too long in  fear of judgement or emotional pain; as this goes on they feel an anger grow inside of them until it eventually turns into a full on monster seeking vengeance. The range on the vocals masterfully paint a vivid image of all hell breaking loose.

Further expanding on where Shipperbottom’s lyrics come from:

“The lyrics specifically on this EP were all inspired by emotional experiences in her day to day life with a more morbid twist and added metaphors.”

The band has crafted this EP in the hope their listeners will have a positive and and lasting experience, finding it enjoyable and authentic but also relatable. Giving nods to some of their noticeable influences including Arch Enemy, Metallica, Black Sabbath, Behemoth and Iron Maiden, Lutharö sits imposingly on the border of the death, power and thrash sub-genres.

The video for “Unleash the Beast” can be heard at http://bravewords.com/news/exclusive-canada-s-lutharo-premier-unleash-the-beast-music-video-new-ep-out-in-november

“Unleash the Beast” is due out November 16th and will be available on Bandcamp, iTunes, and Spotify. Download of the EP title track is available on the band’s Bandcamp here.

1.Intro

BIO:

Born in 2013, Lutharö (Elvish for “the enchanter”) has been refining their sound which is complete with catchy riffs, blazing solos and vocals ranging from vicious growls to cleans that will send a chill down your spine. Starting out as more of a fantasy band, Lutharö has deviated into taking a more intimate path and now explores more relatable concepts.

Victor Bucur (guitar) initially starts the writing process with an idea or a few cool riffs which John Raposo (guitar), Cory Hofin (drums) and Ruslan Lypovsky (bass) add their own ideas to. Krista Shipperbottom (vocals) then adds the lyrics and melodies twisting the songs together into something dark and charismatic. Dominating the stage with an enormous presence, they have so far produced two EPs “Incarnadine” in 2015 and Unleash the Beast in 2018. They have hinted at returning to the studio late 2018 to start work on an anticipated third album.

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – October 1, 2018



For fans of In Flames, Soilwork, Trivium

ATRIA Unleash New Video “Someone With Me”; Debut EP “New World Nightmare” Out Nov. 16th

L-R – Tim Ross (Guitar), Brent Westmoreland (Bass), Tom Emmans (Vocals), Matt McGuire (Drums), and Travis McGinnis (Guitar)

Playing heavy, yet catchy music with prime influences including Lamb of God, Soilwork, Tool and Slipknot, Canadian anthemic metal band ATRIA will be unleashing their debut EP “New World Nightmare” on November 16th.

The debut release for the band is just a teaser of what is to be expected from them. Not just sticking with the usual heavy formula of the genre, they also add plenty of synth and orchestral parts and experiment with varying degrees of technicality over four introductory tracks.

Vocalist Tom Emmans expands on his vision for the band’s direction:

“I’ve always been a fan of catchy choruses. I like when bands can bring something dark and heavy, but also give me something to sing along to. We’ve tried to do that with our new single and I think we’ve accomplished that. Also the lyrics have a great deal of depth and personal meaning to them. The rest of the album is much heavier but there are still plenty of good hooks worked in there.”

Their new music video for that single “Someone With Me” can be viewed at the following link on Spaceuntravel Youtube channel:

Even as a relatively new band, ATRIA is finding their place in the Canadian underground scene and making their name known among a wide variety of metal fans.

EP pre-order available on Bandcamp here along with playlist pre-save on Spotify playlist here.

Track Listing:
1. New World Nightmare
2. Someone With Me
3. Less Than Equal
4. Follow You Home
EP Length: 24:24

Tom Emmans – Vocals

BIO:
Founded by Tom Emmans (vocals) and Tim Ross (guitar) in August of 2017, ATRIA takes its name from a music venue in a nearby city at which Emmans and Ross played their first gig at with a different band. The experiences had at that place resonated enough to be cemented as the band’s moniker. Eventually they recruited Matt McGuire (drummer), Brent Westmoreland (bass) and Travis McGinnis (guitar) to fill out the lineup and have played a handful of shows and festivals with a great response and are hungry for more. The debut release for the band, New World Nightmare EP, is due November 16th, 2018. Even as a relatively new band, Atria is finding their place in the Canadian underground scene and making their name known amongst a wide variety of metal fans.

0 HITMAN – The Offering: Side 1 – “an attention grabbing slab of stoner metal ferocity blended with classic and fresh essences of rock and metal. It is a mixture which has a familiarity as potent as the individuality it breeds and most of all a concoction which incites thick enjoyment as neck muscles keeps busy and the body bounces…It maybe only four tracks but side 1 of The Offering is a rich and thick morsel of rock ‘n’ roll.”
