SkullsNBones Premiere FALLEN LEGION EP Stream “Downfall”

New EP “Downfall” Out May 18th

“The Weekend Warriors Tour” Across Ontario

Set to unleash their next EP entitled “Downfall” on May 18th, 2018, whiplash tyrants FALLEN LEGION are offering fans to hear the full stream of their new release via SkullsNBones.com at the following link: https://skullsnbones.com/premiere-stream-fallen-legions-downfall-ep-in-its-entirety/

The band comments:

“This EP is about dealing with stress- mortal blows, drugs, thoughts of suicide, the inner struggle, and the wrath of it all. The EP represents the outcome of painful experiences. Songs like ‘Escapegoat’ deal with not being able to handle the consequences of one’s actions and pushing them onto those weaker than yourself, and ‘Monster Reborn’-about letting the guilt build up inside, trapping one within their own mental anguish.”

“Downfall” features six energetic, unorthodox, progressive, spirited and memorable tracks plus guest vocals and keyboard from Cradle of Filth’s Lindsay Schoolcraft on “New Skin”. The EP follows FALLEN LEGION‘s two well-received demo EPs “Screams From The Dungeon” (2012) and “Infinite Archive” (2015). Consisting of Nick Sauter on guitars, Jon Kal on bass, Josh Masterson on vocals and Dylan Waybrant on drums, the band presents an eclectic metal brigade of influences from Gojira, Korn, Iron Maiden, Dethlok and Antonio Vivaldi.

The band is not shy when it comes to hitting the road having performed with bands like Soilwork, Havok, Unearth, Battlecross and 36 Crazy Fists, FALLEN LEGION will be touring Southern Ontario in support of “Downfall” on “The Weekend Warriors Tour” (dates listed below).

0 Progressive Music Pplanet – The Slyde – Awakening – “The Slyde have written a full-length rock record that is retro yet contemporary, edgy yet smooth. There are plenty of dynamics while staying high-energy and never boring or overwrought. Well-balanced and entertaining, these songs are progressive but not pretentious.

0 Heavy New York – Xael- The Last Arbiter Review

May 16, 2018
by Asher
· Xael

The Last Arbiter by Xael and I have to say, that this is easily one of my personal favorites of 2018. This Album was an adventure through all different territories. This album can be a soundtrack for Star Wars AND a soundtrack for Lord of the Rings. It can be in a Zelda game or a Halo game. This album was able to bring in many different elements that one would think would never go together and brought them together so well. To bring in Symphonic elements, Sci-Fi elements, folk elements and so much more. Each song was an adventure and all came together to make listening to this album a terrific experience. Thank you for sending this over. Looking forward to hearing more.

SHORT BIO

Hailing from the Ottawa/Gatineau Capital Region of Ontario, the five members of Hatred Reigns compose original brutal music and have been taking the local scene by storm. Fusing both old school death metal and new school tech elements, each song they create is unique and full of beastly hammered drums, brutal aggressive guitars, sonic booming bass, and demonic vocals appealing to a diverse audience.

Looking to develop a new project with big ambitious goals to create a concept album Hatred Reigns was founded in 2015 by Jeff Calder, (guitarist,and conceptual artist). They performed their inaugural performance in 2017 to a sold out crowd and thus very high standards were established and word spread to promoters in other cities of their performance.

Their debut album “Realm: I – Affliction” is due out May 25, 2018.

LONG BIO

Jeff explains the decision on the bands name:

“Hatred Reigns is self interpretive and encompasses the state of the world be it politics, human challenges, and over all Good vs Evil states that everyone can relate to. Determining a band name is a challenging thing to come to and as it happened I was listening to an album by the band Hate and was examining the artwork for Slayer’s Reign In Blood and it clicked.”

In the future months, they will begin recording their next release, with a goal of releasing a 13 song concept album recanting the travels of a damned soul to purgatory where their fate will be determined as they face numerous challenges. They will release their debut EP “Realm: I – Affliction” ion May 25, 2018 with 3 random songs in preview to their planned full length to be unleashed at yet to be determined date.

Hatred Reigns is:
Brandon Mayhew – Vocalist
Jeff Calder – Guitarist
Adam Semler – Guitarist & Vocalist
Kyle Hnatyshin – Bassist
Eric Cooper Lefebvre – Drums

Set to unleash their debut album “The Last Arbiter” on Test Your Metal Records on May 18th, 2018, North Carolina sci-fi extreme metallers XAEL have a new music video story to share with fans for their track “Srai (The Demon of Erring)” premiered on Toilet Ov Hell at the following link: http://www.toiletovhell.com/premiere-xael-chained-to-the-demon-of-erring/

Nassaru (lead vocalist, guitarist, studio drummer) explains the video’s story:

“Srai is poetically seen as a demon, but is a captured ancient entity that has a dismal past with the protagonist being that there is lore that predates this album’s story line. In an attempt to kill the main character, it was captured and bound by technology using a quantum field. It hungers to kill the wayfarer, but being immortal makes that difficult as one can presume. But there is a problem with the wayfarer’s immortality as he suffers from an odd illness poetically called “soul sickness”, where he loses consciousness and it is during this episode that his immortality is suppressed. Srai seizes this moment to sit upon the wayfarer’s chest to steal his last breath. In this song you can see the relationship with “sleep paralysis” and how it ties into the lore.”

Combining elements of extreme metal with orchestrations and folk music to create soundscapes for the imagination, XAEL‘s sci-fi inspired music focuses on the endeavors of its members in a science fantasy epic. From the wastelands of war torn planets to the pits where the fallen gods dwell, XAEL paints an odd and fantastic world musically and visually. The band was founded by Nassaru of Rapheumets Well as well as Sorgiem “Daniel Presnell,” Tuurm “Alex Rush”, and Xolotl “Fernando Ortega and is joined by musical artist is Rei Haycraft, Firran “Joshua Morse” and Zabrûz “Chris Hathcock.”

Nassaru comments:

“Xael started out as a personal project that evolved into a unity of like-minded musicians. The music derives inspiration from extreme metal, folk and tribal music, as well as 80’s synth and sci-fi textured scores. We are very excited to for people to see the handwork and detailed time we put into this album given the limited resources we had. Xael “The Last Arbiter” is not just a musical regurgitation but a unique experience that follows an intrinsic story. Our characters, emotions, and trials of life are woven throughout the album as we aim to bring a very diverse and immersive album to our growing fan base.”

“The Last Arbiter” Album summary:

The sky ghost, the wayfarer, the shadow of time, the exile; he is called by many names yet for the Immortal, he is cursed to traverse the cosmos aimlessly, searching for an unattainable purpose. Chained to him is a beast, a demon from antiquity who the immortal keeps as a reminder of his past.

Upon the corridors of the Tymeer capitol the immortal presents his seemingly profound doctrine called the “Compendium of Ethical Symbiosis” which outlines a harmonious way of governing and regulating the various civilizations under the ruling regime through casting down warmonger ideologies and laws which degrade the value of its species.

Though momentarily entertained, the ruling counsel of Tymeer dismisses the wisdom of the wayfarer. Passing through the city gates tired and morally degraded, the immortal along with his insidiously chained demon wanders into the wastelands of Tymeer. It is here that his journey begins.

Album pre-order available on XAEL‘s official website here and TYM’s Bandcamp here.
