Show Dates:
May 30 – Arnprior, ON – The St, John Pub – info – w/ Flotsam and Jetsam

The 80’s thrashers recently unleashed their new single “All In Favour” in support of their upcoming album “Saviours” due out May 25th.

Vocalist / guitarist Armin Kamal comments:

“Anyone who likes a more classic thrash sound, and longs for those days, just like we do, will dig this album. Since we are from that era, we are not trying to bring back that style of music, we are simply continuing what we know and do best! The Big Four will stand out as we have been described as a band with a bay area sound…But our influences are truly rooted in 70s and early 80s metal. Accept, Scorpions, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest are all bands that laid the foundation and the love of metal for us!”

Listen to “All In Favour”

Making an impact on the Canadian’s 80s thrash scene, Ottawa legends INFRARED have returned to cement and carry on their own legacy, with their new album “Saviours”featuring all new music to follow their EP “No Peace”, which featured tracks all written in the 80’s and only recently heard by fans in 2016. “Saviours” features eight tracks that are thrashy, aggressive, melodic, heavy, and tight.

“Saviours” is available for pre-order on iTunes here.

1. Project Karma (6:48)
2. The Demagogue (6:52)

(Bio written by Steve Earles)

– 30 –

“Straight up thrash metal with the heavy and fast riffs, pounding drums, and the thumping of the bass.” – Sleaze Roxx

“After sitting down and listening to Infrared’s ‘No Peace’ over a period of days, it’s safe to say that this is a solid thrash metal album that will easily please genre purists. It’s an aggressive offering, but it doesn’t take too many risks, nor does it have to. This band is extremely talented and this album is well worth your money.” – Metal At The Gates

“At times reminiscent of old school Metallica, sometimes Megadeth, sometimes something else entirely. In short, if you dig 80’s metal you should really give this album a listen. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. I’m already looking forward to the next.” – Skull Banger

“No Peace grabs you by the balls from the first power chords of Inframental and doesn’t let up until the final note of In Search Of.” – Korea Guitar

“Overall, classic sounding, old school thrash metal from an era when thrash was still evolving, this album (No Peace) is a cracking introduction to the mid eighties thrash metal sound.” – Metal Gods TV

“For the sound and style, this is one of the top releases over the last year. The style was getting stale with many sound a-likes, now Infrared are here, so pick up your jaw and enjoy this bruiser of an album. “- Acier Doux Metal Management & Promotions Tunisia

LONG BIOGRAPHY

Switzerland’s Majesty of Silence was founded in the spring of 1996 by Peter Papadimitriya (drums), Peter Mahler (guitar) and Christian Geissmann (first bass, then guitar) who shared a passion for black metal. In regards to their decision of the name, the band quotes “the contrast between our sound and silence gave the impulse to the name. It had something mystical, sublime, and magical to it.”

Citing a wide variety of influences including Dimmu Borgir, Immortal and Sonata Arctica the band affirms “Silence differs from absent noise and that it’s obvious that this is no mass music.” With lyrical themes encompassing everyday problems, an ongoing lack of humanity, and the control that wrath has over a person, the band works collaboratively to write music that truly resonates with listeners.

In 1999 by the first album “Darkness Has No End” was released. The ongoing contrast between their sound and silence gave the inspiration to the band’s name. It was well received, and soon after new songs were written that dwarfed the album. This culminated in the release of a succession album in 2003 titled “But There’s a Light” which brought out the band’s musical versatility. With only three members, the band performed live in various venues and continuously received good responses.

After appearing on various compilations Majesty of Silence began working on the new album entitled “Lichtsille”. It saw the light of day in early 2006 after the band enlisted Simon Huber (keyboards) to finalize the line-up. After four successful years of playing live the departure of keyboarder Simon Huber and drummer Peter Papadimitriya sent Majesty of Silence into hiatus between 2010 and 2016.

Since 2016, Peter Mahler and Christian Geissmann continue the band as a two man project. In spring 2018 the long-awaited follow-up album “Zu Dunkel Für das Licht” will be released on Extreme Metal Music / Rockshots Records on May 25th.

This is defiantly the perfect record for everyone to pregame to while we wait for the next At the Gates record. While each song does have similarities, it is not repetitive by any means. Anyone who loves the classic sound of Gothenburg Death metal will appreciate this.
