“I can’t even try and place Within the Giant’s Reach into any genre as they seem to cover most genres in one track. There are elements of Thrash, Death, Death-core, Hardcore and Tech Death. How it is possible to manage this in one track is beyond my imagination. If their forthcoming EP is anything like this track, then I am sure that Within the Giant’s Reach will find themselves a lot of new fans across the globe.” – The Metal Review

0 SHOVELHEAD Celebrate 10 Year Anniversary of “Arson & Lace” Album With New Video “Big Time Loser” via SpaceUntravel
(contact info below)
NEWS RELEASE
Montreal, QC – April 11, 2018
For fans of Stone Temple Pilots, Deftones, Foo Fighters, Soundgarden
SHOVELHEAD Celebrate 10 Year Anniversary of “Arson & Lace” Album With New Video “Big Time Loser” via SpaceUntravel
L to R – Alex Rakic (Bass), Youri Targiroff (Lead Guitar), Marko Rakic (Vocals, Rhythm Guitar), Nikola Rakic (Drums)
A family affair comprised of the Rakic brothers, Marko (vocals, guitar), Alex (bass), Nikola (drums) along with their long time childhood friend Youri Targiroff on lead guitar, Montreal’s SHOVELHEAD have been offering sonic gems that are simply irresistible since forming in 1995. Having toured Eastern Canada to garnering praise on the local scene to living their dreams in Southern California and back to their hometown, SHOVELHEAD has always been unstoppable with their bone crushing heavy rock to their subdued ballads.
Serenading with melodic vocal lines and a signature guitar style, the alternative rock quartet have released three full lengths Pocus Cadabra (1996), Dark Horse (1999), Arson and Lace (2007). Now after a 10 year hiatus from recording, they return in 2018 with an anniversary video “Big Time Loser” for “Arson and Lace” plus are currently working on their planned fourth full length entitled “Killer Waves”, which will be recorded once again with award winning producer/engineer/mixer Glen Robinson who has worked with names such as The Ramones, AC/DC, GWAR, Annihilator and Voivod.
Watch “Big Time Loser” via SpaceUntravel at the following link:
The band comments:
“Lyrically the song is about hope and failure. It’s about the hopefulness of youth and blind ambition followed by the reality of limitations, life and failure. It’s about setting out goals that ultimately never come to fruition and looking back at them in perspective. The reality of failure is difficult to accept and equally difficult to let go of the hope. Overall, the video is an artistic rendition of the emotions of the song. It’s in black and white to define the absolute between the hope and the failure. Not intended to be literal, but more so to emote the feelings of the song.”
SHOVELHEAD‘s latest album “Arson and Lace” plus previous releases available on www.shovelheadmusic.com, CD Baby, iTunes and all other major online retailers.

A Heavy Brew of Blackened Stoner Psych
Montreal’s WYKAN Premiere “The Gathering” via NoCleanSinging
Debut EP “Solace” Out April 13th
Featuring Guest Vocals Matt McGachy (Cryptopsy) & Barrie Butler (Eohum)
L-R – Bass : Daniel Paras – Bass, Jeremy Perkins – Vocals and Guitars, Morgan Zwicker – Drums
Founded in 2017 by guitarist/singer Jeremy Perkins (Eohum), Montreal’s trio WYKAN delivers a heavy brew with its touch of black metal, old stoner / psychedelic rock and blues. Blending these genres, the band evokes spirits of heavy riffs and hot amp tubes overridden and pushed to the limits soon to be heard on their debut EP “SOLACE” due out on April 13th.
“After releasing very heavy black metal for 3+ yrs with my band Eohum, I wanted to return to blues and doom oriented music and expression, with atmosphere, blues solos and more feeling. Both Morgan Zwicker (drums) and Daniel Paras (bass) are distinct musicians / vocalists with jazz/blues backgrounds whom had the will to jump on board.” says band founder Jeremy Perkins.
Hitting the jam space and recruiting some special guests Matt McGachy (Cryptopsy) and Barrie Butler (Eohum), WYKAN‘s debut EP “Solace” features three punishing tracks full of atmosphere and mystery where you can hear black metal rage meet the finest components of blues and harsh psych stoner riffs. The theme of the EP follows inspiration of Ethnobotany and magic along with a tribal take on ritual and ceremony. More specifically with the Northern European Tribes known as the Saami from Finland/Norway/Sweden areas of today and their usage of Amanita Muscaria mushroom for Shamanic practices. Overall, the EPs concept is a reminder of the brisk realities of our lives in relation to the spirit world.
Teaming up with NoCleanSinging, WYKAN are premiering their next single “The Gatherin” featuring guest vocals from Eohum‘s Barrie Butler.
Band founder Jeremy Perkins comments:
“Is a poetic/fictional poem/story which ( would have taken place) when the Saami’s lands where colonized, told from generation to generation among the Sammi people speaking of the new schools of thought hitting their lands during Gatherings. A reminding piece of literature to not forget their cultures relation with the Amanita.”

“an impressive debut, with enough hooks to catch ears wherever it gets play. So grab yourself a copy, turn it up, and consume some mean doom.” – The Burning Beard
“A strange and bewildering piece of psychedelic doom metal, inspired by both old school doom and black metal, this debut by Canadian act Wykan is certainly something special. ” – Merchants of Air
“Montreal riff metallers Wykan make their debut April 13 with the SolaceEP. It is not intended for background listening. Even at three tracks/24 minutes, it’s not the kind of thing you “just put on” while you’re picking up around the house or working or whatever you might be doing. It demands attention and demands it early.”
