Introducing their self-described Aggro-Metal and new EP entitled “M.T.M.D (Maximum Threshold, Minimum Decay)” this past October, Montreal, Canada’s CHÜZO is ready to continue their vengeance with their latest music video “Brand New Cell”. The song is about dedicating your life to achieving retributive justice upon your enemies, yet sacrificing your life, your loved ones, and your sanity to get your revenge.
Watch the music video via its premiere on MetalInsider HERE.
Produced with Kevin Jardine (Slaves On Dope, Uplift Recording Studio), “M.T.M.D (Maximum Threshold, Minimum Decay)” is a three-track record that marks the next chapter and true representation of what CHÜZO‘s sound is meant to be with its fresh new lineup who are hungry to showcase what this EP will spark.
“This new EP was to showcase our new lineup with our newest songs that are truly representative of our musical style, a style that we proudly call ‘Aggro-Metal.’ Very aggressive metal songs that have relatable themes that anyone can listen to and understand. This EP is our audio shotgun blast to the world to pay attention to and to mosh intensively during our live sets.” adds guitarist Cristian S.
CHÜZO‘s new lineup features the ensnaring vocals of Taiwanese Brazilian transplant Mischa M joining local first-generation Chilean Canadian and mastermind Cristian S. along with Carlos G from Venezuela and Alex S from Russia who all have found Montreal, Canada to be their home-to-breed their blender of grindcore, Swedish death metal, thrash, and hardcore punk to transform a sub-genre dubbed ‘Aggro Metal’.
The EP’s lyrics are driven by self-reflection and daily struggles. The inspiration for writing comes from life experiences and trying to live past them, especially the traumatic ones. Using all bad energy from bad experiences to create something positive for yourself and the world. This EP speaks of vengeance and the bad side of dedicating your life to achieving your desired revenge despite your own life and sanity. Brutal Social Justice.
For fans of Sepultura (Cavalera Bros era 84-96), At the Gates, Napalm Death, Slipknot, and Fuck the Facts, “M.T.M.D (Maximum Threshold, Minimum Decay)” was released on November 15, 2024.

“‘A Brazilian vocalist, a Chilean guitarist, a Russian bassist and a Venezuelan drummer walk into a Montreal metal bar’ might sound like the beginning of a borderline funny joke, but it, in a roundabout way, speaks to the christening of thrash, punk, death-beat quartet CHÜZO. The band’s latest EP — M.T.M.D.(Maximum Threshold, Minimum Decay) — is the latest in a long line of releases since forming in 2020 and sees the light of day today. The band has a lot to say about their latest endeavour, but fans of old Sepultura, Napalm Death, At the Gates and Fuck the Facts should find something of interest ” – Decibel Magazine
“M.T.M.D is a crucial chapter in Chüzo’s evolution, showcasing a lineup that’s finally found its voice. Their journey is a testament to the transformative power of music and the ability to channel personal struggles into a collective outcry for justice.” – Amplify The Noise
“It might be something of a cliché but it remains true; this isn’t simply an EP. It’s a promo for helping Chüzo find a major label for a debut full length… [8/10]” – Metal Noise
“CHÜZO have achieved several things on “MTMD (Maximum Threshold, Minimum Decay)” that other bands dream of for an entire career. On the one hand, the clever balancing act is impressive between old school credibility and new school influences. A factor that plays a striking role in the overall absolutely high-class work is that Canadians walk in a straightforward and focused manner in the ear. The three songs on the EP entitled “MTMD” are fast-paced in nature, mill into the ear canals at massive speed and –’s most important aspect – remains there… The EP is catchy, intense and yet has matured, multi-layered and serious Half-life to be equipped. Conclusion: Check in, buy, leave, killer!” – Metal Division Magazine

Set to rattle mosh pits around the globe with their forthcoming album “Think Before You Think” at the end of this November, Canadian demolition thrash crew MUTANK is injecting onto screens their late music video “Bad Magnitude”.
“This is an easy one: there are no lyrics. An ode to thrash, this track is meant for fans to stretch their neck and bang away to the best instrumental you’ve ever heard!” adds the band.
The live clips in the video are taken from MUTANK‘s 2017 cross-Canada tour with Annihilator and Australia’s Mason. The video was filmed and edited by Chalky of Moshriff.com.
Watch “Bad Magnitude” via its premiere on Ghost Cult Magazine HERE.
MUTANK‘s new album “Think Before You Think” will be released on Boonsdale Records on November 29th, 2024, following 2017’s EP “W.H.A.T.S.T.H.A.T.” and the first taste of new neck-breaking tunes in seven years. Featuring ten volcanic thrash tracks to blaze a new path to jackhammer a pure audio assault. Live favourites such as “Running Reds”, “Abortron”, and “Thrash Primordial” are sure to please die-hard fans for easy repeat listens.
“This is Thrash for Metalheads by Metalheads we evolved from crossover to a more refined thrash band with longer and more intricate songs… The level of seriousness in songwriting is evident in the new album. We want this album to energize people and make them feel the way we do when we listen to some of our favourite artists. This album is the most material we have ever put out! 50 minutes of pure metal across 10 tracks. The songs picked themselves as we kept writing tracks we enjoyed playing.”
With a passion for classic thrash and a desire to play radical riffs, MUTANK made a deservedly big impression on the Canadian metal scene with their debut EP “M.E.C.H METAL” and a performance at Wacken Open Air after being declared champions of the 2014 Wacken Metal Battle Canada competition.
Live Video – MUTANK at Wacken Open Air 2014 – https://youtu.be/yQrLaG8BPL4
With their distinctive sound, the band moved forward in 2017, touring across Canada supporting ANNIHILATOR alongside Australia’s MASON in support of their EP “W.H.A.T.S.T.H.A.T” (Boonsdale Records). Metal Injection also named the band “1 of 8 Hidden Gems in Canadian Metal You Need To Know” (Read here).
2024 will be a tour de force for MUTANK with the launch of “Think Before You Think”. Fans of D.R.I., Suicidal Tendencies, Havok, Megadeth, Overkill, and Exodus are sure to join them in the circle pit when it releases.

Highlight: #2 – Canadian National Loud Chart – August 2017 – Top 20 Loud (Earshot)
“they play good-natured thrash a la Overkill and Exodus… perfectly serviceable and enjoyable, definitely more effective when they are playing fast.” – Decibel Mag
Metal Injection named MUTANK 1 of 8 Hidden Gems in Canadian Metal You Need To Know
“Based out of (arguably) the metal hub of the nation, Montreal, Mutank are a ferocious and frenzied crossover-thrash band that infect its listener with an ear worm that no amount of Michael Buble ballads can remedy. The 2014 winners of the Wacken Metal Battle Canada contest have churned out consistently crushing thrash riffs for years and have all the tools and check off all the required boxes to make a major play in the global metal market. For first time listeners, check out “Corporate Child” from their 2014 album M.E.C.H. Metal and the pulverizing headbanger “D.E.A.T.H.” from their 2017 EP W.H.A.T.S.T.H.A.T” – Metal Injection
“Montreal punk/thrash crossover act MUTANK has quickly become my favourite new discovery in the world of metal. They’re fast, funny, and equal parts smart and stoopid, with lyrics like “Who do Mu Tank you are?” and a band name that gets likened to a cross between a “mutant” and a “tank”. MUTANK’s music hearkens back to vintage Suicidal Tendencies, D.R.I., or the more metal moments of the Dayglo Abortions or SNFU.” – Georgia Straight
“Killer drumming, awesome bass hooks, great rhythm & furious sounding vocals. It’s a statement of intent from Mutank. That they are not to be underestimated & written off as just another ‘thrash throwback’.” – Games, Brains & A Headbanging Life
“They have a lot of thrashing songs that have abbreviated titles, and they kick some serious ass with their old school music and hardcore attitude.” – The Headbanging Moose
“Mutank have gotten creative with each song on the album, by coming up acronyms to fit the title of the album, they describe their sound as a “T-rex skateboarding down a volcano”. If your a fan of old school Overkill, Megadeath or Exodus or if you just want a fast and thrash album check it out” – Canadian Beats
“Fast riffs, Heavy tempos crazy yelling.. its got all you’ve asked for. A mix of Suicidal Tendencies Punk/Thrash debut, Nuclear Assault fast moshing killer speed assault…a great funny and entertaining mini album for all beer drinkers fans of Tankard and ready to get into the moshpit 100/100.” – The Metal Mag
“grab you battlejack, studs and spandex trousers and feel like you are back in 1985.” – Lords of Metal

Brazilian-Canadian guitarist, music teacher, and songwriter with an impressive career in the music industry, Rod Rodrigues presented his latest creation and his first full-length this past October. Entitled “Tales Of A Changing Life Part 2”, is a conceptual album, and is the second part of a story inspired by his move to a new country and starting a new life to follow his 2022 EP “Tales Of A Changing Life Part 1”.
Today, Rodrigues unveils his guitar video for the track “Inukshuk”, which features guest musicians John Macaluso on drums and Angel Vivaldi, who plays the second guitar solo.
“This was the first song I wrote for the album, and it’s the heaviest track. I play it on a 7-string guitar, giving it a modern prog feel with some fusion elements,” adds Rodrigues.
The video can be seen and heard at https://youtu.be/00i4UQ45AGw
Fusing prog rock with Latin rhythms guitar virtuoso Rod Rodrigues has studied with renowned musicians Kiko Loureiro (Megadeth) and Greg Howe (Justin Timberlake, Michael Jackson) and has received degrees from IG&T and Claretiano University. Since 1997, he has been sharing his knowledge and skills as a music teacher in Brazil, Canada, and Europe. His e-book Guitar Shred (2016) was released in both languages, Portuguese and English, and in 2018, the guitarist and teacher launched his online training course Extreme Guitar Workout, which has attracted hundreds of students from around the world. Over the years, he has also been a member of various bands, including Enemies of Reality and Falling Into a Dream (a Dream Theater tribute band).
As a solo artist, Rodrigues released his first EP in 2010, titled “The First Step: Introduction”, which gained recognition in several music publications, including Guitar Player, Cover Guitarra, and Guitarload, among others. In 2019, he released his single “T.A.G.” followed by his concept EP, “Tales of a Changing Life Part 1” in 2022. Notably, “Tales of a Changing Life Part 1” featured the talented Marco Sfogli (James LaBrie, Premiata Forneria Marconi) on the track “Woodbine Sunset”.
Thanks to his outstanding work on “Tales of a Changing Life Part 1”, Rodrigues was voted one of the top 20 Guitar Players of 2022 by the readers of Brazilian Roadie Crew Magazine.
Rod Rodrigues produced his first full-length, “Tales of a Changing Life Part 2”, with mixing by Renato Osório and mastering by Kris Crummett (Nick Johnston, Issues, Sleeping With Sirens). For the album’s guests, Rodrigues recruited guitarists Hugo Mariutti, Angel Vivaldi, and Roy Ziv; bassists Heitor Tenorio and Bruno Ladislau; drummers John Macaluso (ARK, TNT, Yngwie Malmsteen, Riot), Rodrigo Abelha, and Lucas Emidio; as well as Orlan Charles (keyboards, piano, and saxophone), Rodrigo Sperandio (Brazilian viola), and vocalists Wesley Poison, Ana Carla de Carli, Andressa Alves, Caroline Grossi, Matheus Grossi, and Francis Botene.
“With Tales of a Changing Life Part 2, I believe I reached my peak as a musician and composer. Truly able to convey through music all the emotions of the transformation my life has gone through in the past 10 years. Moreover, I was fortunate to have the best team of musicians, each adding their unique and special touch to the work.” adds Rodrigues.
Recommended for fans of Dream Theater, Rush, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, and Angra, “Tales of a Changing Life Part 2” was released on October 18, 2024, and is available at the following links:

“Rod Rodrigues’ upcoming release, Tales of a Changing Life Part 2, represents more than just a continuation of his musical journey—it’s a deeply personal reflection of the changes he’s experienced over the past decade. After a 12-year hiatus from releasing solo work, Rodrigues returns with an instrumental album that captures a rollercoaster of emotions through complex compositions and masterful collaborations. His ability to mix diverse musical influences is evident throughout, weaving together personal experiences, Brazilian rhythms, and progressive rock.” – Prog-Sphere (2024)
“In Tales of a Changing Life Part 2, Rodrigues not only showcases his technical virtuosity but also his ability to convey deep emotion and narrative through his compositions. His work stands as a shining example of how diverse musical influences can be melded into something both experimental and accessible. This is an album that takes listeners on a transformative journey, and in doing so, solidifies Rod Rodrigues as a unique voice in contemporary progressive music.” – Prog Archy (2024)
“Following closely the work of legendary drummer John Macaluso already brought great discoveries to my proggy table, and Rod Rodrigues’ new album makes no exception here. In best instrumental prog fusion manner, he tells the “Tales of a Changing Life” with the focus on his virtuoso guitar playing, carried by challenging yet groovy rhythm patterns, cool bass lines, and some beautiful keyboard interplays. All-together a wonderful listen if you’re into instrumental wizardry. ” – The Prog Space (2024)
“Obviously, much of the spotlight here is placed on Rodrigues’ prodigious grasp of the electric guitar. Although the album’s metal-ish side doesn’t stand any bit above what we’ve already heard from that corner of prog metal, Rod makes himself out to be an absolutely brilliant fusion guitarist, possibly one of the best I’ve heard in recent years. “Dust in My Eyes” might be my favorite track on the album for this very reason; Rod’s marriage of keen instrumental wandering and tight melodic passages is gorgeous.”- Riffage (2024
“Guitar virtuoso Rod Rodrigues latest release ‘Tales of a Changing Life is a conceptual record celebrating the changes in Rod’s life that have taken place over recent years. Straight from the Satriani-Vai-Johnson line of melodic guitar shredders, Rodrigues infuses his guitar playing style with prog, metal, fusion and jazz. While only a 5 song EP, there is a lot of great guitar work in this collection with an abundance of melodies. Perhaps not as much of a household name, Rodrigues is definitely worth getting to know.” – The Prog Report (2022)

“I’ve been playing guitar for over 30 years, performing in all kinds of bands—from cover bands to wedding bands. But I reached a point where just playing in those bands and teaching music wasn’t enough. I felt the need to express myself more creatively. With Tales of a Changing Life Part 2 I believe I reached my peak as a musician and composer. Truly able to convey through music all the emotions of the transformation my life has gone through in the past 10 years.

====================================================
Album The Album Artwork
This album is a conceptual album, the second part of a story inspired by my move to a new country and starting a new life. The cover art shows a man with open arms (me), finally feeling happy after overcoming many challenges. He’s standing on a cliff, looking toward the horizon, and realizing that, despite all the struggles, everything was worth it. On the back, there’s an image of a young boy, a reflection of my younger self, gazing forward with dreams of the future. This mirror connects to the cover art of my previous EP, Tales of a Changing Life Part 1.
Track by track (LYRICALLY & MUSICALLY)
1 – Inukshuk
This was the first song I wrote for the album, and it’s the heaviest track. I play it on a 7-string guitar, giving it a modern prog feel with some fusion elements. The song features two guest musicians: John Macaluso on drums and Angel Vivaldi, who plays the second guitar solo.
2 – On The Road
I wrote this song as a tribute to my dad. It blends influences from Rush, Van Halen, and a touch of Brazilian country music. My goal was to create an uplifting, feel-good track that’s perfect for listening to while cruising down the highway.
3 – East Coast Memories
This is a melodic song featuring a long, expressive piano section in the middle. I was inspired by both Prince and Dream Theater when writing it. The first guitar solo in the song is played by Roy Ziv.
4 – Dust in My Eyes
I wanted to write a more modern song with strong riffs, unique rhythms, and fewer guitar solos. It’s probably the most different track on the album, and it includes some nods to “La Premiere Experience” and “Physical Distancing” from the previous EP, Tales Of A Changing Life Part 1.
There’s also an electric saxophone solo played by Orlan Charles.
5 – Saudade
“Saudade” is a Portuguese word that means “missing,” but in a much deeper, more emotional way. It captures the feeling of longing for moments with loved ones or someone who is no longer here. This track features a beautiful poem written and performed by Wesley Poison. It’s a short, acoustic song that serves as a kind of interlude, leading into the next track.
6 – Mom’s Lullaby
This is the most emotional song I’ve ever written. It’s a heartfelt ballad dedicated to my mom, who has always been my biggest musical influence and supporter. When I was little, she would sing lullabies to help me fall asleep, and this song is my own lullaby for her.
7 – Tales Of A Changing Life Suite
This is the longest track on the album, running 11 minutes and 30 seconds. It’s an epic piece filled with rich orchestrations and intense shred solos. Hugo Maritutti, from the Brazilian metal band Shaman, recorded the bowed guitar for the intro. The song features duets between guitar and keyboard, as well as an extended solo section inspired by Latin music. It’s definitely the most challenging song on the album.

========================================================
About The Album Artwork:
I mean an ancient sanctuary in ruins that keeps alive its cult of cannibalism. Mythical monsters of the underworld against men.
The sanctuary is a tenebrous structure with aberrant iconographic forms with a monster in it.
Chaotic and overwhelming landscapes where there is a tenebrous Ancestral Oracle that has a connection with another dimension in the Cosmos by means of an Energy that unites them.
The cosmos is a dimension in chaos
The ancestral oracle maintains its cult offering rites of human flesh through cannibalistic fights of mythical monsters of the underworld thirsty for blood that tear eyes, hearts, organs, and limbs mercilessly to humans. Showing horrendous death scenes.
Hemorrhages of blood, guts, and viscera shoot swiftly around the ancestral oracle. Limbs, dismembered bodies, brains, heads, bones, and skulls everywhere.
About the album as a whole (LYRICALLY & MUSICALLY):
The theme of the album “CHAOTIC SCHATOLOGICAL MADNESS” deals with the cosmological existential anguish as an answer to the absurdities of the world, searching for the true essence of nature in the phenomenological subjective experiences and cosmological knowledge, manifested in the cult of ancestral eschatologies as a symbolic cognitive cultural legacy that is shown in its original way of conceiving the universe (cosmological prefiguration).
This cult is vivified in the ancestral oracles which have a connection with other dimensions in the cosmos by means of an energy that unites them, their fervor is kept alive with cannibalistic offerings and autophagy. From these ancestral oracles emerge aberrant mythical monsters from the underworld that exterminate the human race. In addition, the oracles ask for sacrificial retribution for the answers to existential cosmological questions.
The album also talks about catastrophic natural phenomena, the regeneration of time, and the extinction of the human race as a misanthropic seed because of its self-destructive nature.
Track by Track (LYRICALLY & MUSICALLY):
1. Eternal Cosmic Darkness – It denotes a journey through the confines of the immense and immeasurable interdimensional cosmos that transmits and fills us with all its unfathomable energy.
2. Embryonic Mutation of Baalcetrorus – Terrifying fusion of genetics with the power of the cosmos giving life to a horrendous misanthropic being that puts an end to humanity for its capital flaws.
3. Time Regeneration – It speaks about the possibilities of returning to the possible diachronic preconfigurations of the genesis time of the world as an antagonistic reason for the destruction/correction/new beginning of the present world and the historical formations relative to the temporal.
4. Oniric Experience – It talks about the development of the state of being that becomes to achieve an extrasensory dimensional transmutation as an unfolded experience through the dissolution of the mind-body (since the brain and the human body prevent the energy from transcending!!!) issues that are pointed out in quantum studies, astrological psychology, Hindustani sacred texts, as well as the studies of Jacobo Grinberg.
5. Return to Saturn – Es una Oda alegórica al ancient Saturn (Saturn planet and Saturn god) y una representación primigenia del diablo
6. Eruption – It is a personal theogony and the struggle to solve existential problems. It ends with an eruption entrusted by the ancestral god Pakal that would finish with all humanity.
7. Abyss of Atrocities – It is a fight for the end of the world that ends with one’s own autophagy reflecting itself in the narrative as a mirror, but it is oneself.
8. Sacrificial Retribution – It narrates a mythical journey that ends with sacrificial self-flagellation in retribution for the answers to existential cosmological questions.
9. Relic of Chaos – Acoustic guitar instrumental as an outro to end and soothe the overpowering brutality of the monster that is the album itself, which furiously and hatefully complains full of misanthropy throughout all songs wanting to extinguish humanity at all costs.
====================================================
Fun Fact:
If there were brutal death drummers in our country we would already have 5 albums hahaha.
Getting a suitable drummer trained in brutal death and with the techniques of the style developed that has the same expectations of the band has been and still is the most difficult thing.

INTESTINAL LACERATION was formed in 2009 by twisted minds obsessed with the extreme, ancestral eschatology, existential cosmology, anti-Christianity, cannibalism, genetic mutation, and pathological malformations.
Thus, constantly meeting in the underworld of the dirty streets of Lima, Peru, they began rehearsals where compositions of fast and rotten riffs, extreme blast beats, and overwhelmingly chaotic guttural vocals converged.
During that time, INTESTINAL LACERATION gave several live releases of extreme brutality. In 2014 the band recorded its first music video “ENJOY THEIR PUTRID FLESH”, and released some copies of this first single. In 2015 the band recorded the EP titled “SPECIES OF PUTRID MINDS” which was released by Coyote Records (RU).
The band is signed to the label Gore House Productions (USA) who made the first full-length album entitled “CHAOTIC ESCHATOLOGICAL MADNESS” in 2022.
Currently, the band is working on their second full-length album.

Canada’s UTILITY PROVIDER Shares Lyric Video For Title Track Off Groovy Prog Album “Challenger” Out End of Nov 2024
|
|
L-R – Vadim Cartovenco – Drums, Chris Thomas – Guitar/Backing Vocals, Tyler Mayfield – Lead Vocals, Shayne Gold – Bass/Backing Vocals
Vancouver, Canada’s UTILITY PROVIDER is set to release their third full-length “Challenger” at the end of November 2024 produced with Nick Bergeron at Starport Studios (Langley, B.C.) with mixing and mastering by the renowned Michael Kraushaar at Little Red Studios (Vancouver B.C).
With a fresh new lineup, the band is excited to unveil this latest offering to newcomers of their sound along with their current fan following.
“I truly believe this album is going to blow our fans away. The writing is much stronger than in the previous releases and the production as a whole is miles ahead of them. What I love about this album is how each song has its own identity; its own sound, and its own story. There are definitely some surprises in store for our fans. One song that in particular stands out for me is “Independent Soul” because it sounds absolutely nothing like anything U.P. has put out before. I’m really excited to see what everyone thinks!” says vocalist Tyler Mayfield.
On this record, the band’s main ambition is to take fans on a unique, powerful, and intense listening experience. The overarching theme of “Challenger” is one of triumph over adversity and having the courage to throw off your “chains” (both physical and mental) and strike out on your own. UTILITY PROVIDER wants fans to be able to make a connection with the music and connect with them on a very personal level. They showcase this with a concept of a side “A” and a side “B”.
“Up until this album, all U.P songs were written in drop C tuning. The first 6 songs of the album stay in that same drop C tuning, however side “B” is written in A# tuning – it’s literally a whole new sound for our fans! The transition from side “A” to side “B” is marked by a beautiful instrumental track written solely by guitarist Chris Thomas called “Northern Storm”. We hope the listeners will enjoy this nuance within the album. We sure had a ton of fun recording it!” adds Mayfield.
Lyrically, the album “Challenger” was mostly penned by vocalist Tyler Mayfield who wants to tell a story. He elaborates:
“As the lead vocalist, I feel that it’s my duty to put into words the message that the music is trying to convey. There is a lot of teamwork between Chris and myself to get that right. So in this way, the lyrics don’t always necessarily reflect my personal life, but are more tailored to reflect the story within the music.”
Drummer Vadim Cartovenco adds:
“This is the title track of the album so we spent a lot of time making sure the production was exactly what we wanted. Music was written by Vadim and Chris during 2023 and we played the song live a lot. The music, I think, sounds like a cool mix of thrash and power metal. The guitars are especially highlighted in this song to give it that power and distinct U.P tone that Chris is known for. The verses have quick guitar licks overtop of the main melody to add flavor. The vocals are mostly clean so listeners can hear the lyrics, which embody the theme of the album. Drums is a combination of thrash metal and progressive metal, Vadim’s favorite part is the groove section where China played with off beat pattern. This song in particular focuses on overcoming physical challenges with a fighting spirit. You will notice that the lyrics repeat in each verse – this was done on purpose to really drive home the point.”
With members individually influenced by different elements of metal. You will hear their sonic meshing of blues rock, prog metal, thrash, and grunge as they reveal their single and title track accompanied by a lyric video. The song itself is a mix of thrash and power metal with the guitars highlighted to give it that U.P. tone that Chris Thomas is known for. Lyrically co-written by Mayfield and Thomas, the track focuses on overcoming physical challenges with a fighting spirit.

SHORES OF NULL Teams Up w/ THUNDERFLIX To Debut Full Live Video of HELLFEST 2024 Performance
New Album “The Loss of Beauty” Out Now!
|
|
Touring Europe this past summer in support of their latest and fourth record “The Loss of Beauty” (Spikerot Records), Italian melodic death-doom force Shores of Null performed at this year’s Hellfest Open Air (Temple Stage) in Clisson, France.
Delivering a powerful performance that encapsulates their signature blend of heavy, melodic gothic doom. This live set showcases tracks from their rich discography, including highlights from their latest album. As they perform under the iconic lights of Hellfest, the band’s dynamic soundscapes and emotional depth resonate through the crowd, creating an immersive experience for all in attendance. This performance at one of Europe’s premier metal festivals marks a significant moment for Shores Of Null, further solidifying their place in the metal genre.
Capturing that full set on live video, Shores of Null is ready to unveil it for fans by teaming up with ThunderFlix, the world’s premier on-demand video streaming service dedicated exclusively to heavy metal music.
Vocalist Davide Straccione adds:
“Hellfest was the culmination of an intense promotional cycle during which we had the privilege of taking ‘The Loss Of Beauty’ far and wide. Stepping onto that stage was an incredibly powerful experience, rewarding us for years of relentless hard work, dedication, and a deep love for what we do. We felt the energy of the crowd resonating with us, and in that moment, it truly felt like we were exactly where we were meant to be. On a personal level, it was a dream come true, and I believe I can speak for the entire band when I say it was the highlight of our career so far.”

“The Loss of Beauty” is Shores Of Null’s fourth album and follows the acclaimed “Beyond The Shores (On Death And Dying)”, unanimously considered by fans and critics as one of the Doom Metal gems of recent years. Both albums were recorded between 2019 and early 2020, and although “The Loss of Beauty” was initially conceived as the band’s third album, ‘Beyond The Shores’ took its place as it better reflected the doom and gloom sentiment of the ‘annus horribilis’ 2020.
Across 11 tracks (plus two bonus tracks), Shores Of Null once again submerges listeners with tempestuous and turbulent riffs. The band continues to hone its sound and take its melancholic dark metal to new heights by mastering an assorted palette of genres with inbred poignancy. The lyrics celebrate beauty in imperfection and transience and are meant to be an invitation to seek beauty in little things, especially those unexpected and ephemeral.
“Those who follow Shores Of Null from the very beginning know that our influences touch many genres, and I think those who loved ‘Quiescence’ and ‘Black Drapes For Tomorrow’ won’t be disappointed. I consider ‘The Loss Of Beauty’ to be the natural evolution of those records, while ‘Beyond The Shores (On Death And Dying)’ represents a slight detour from the main road, a quite successful experiment in which we gave vent to our most dark and dramatic side, focusing exclusively on gothic/death/doom metal, almost funereal at times. Those who have known us with ‘Beyond The Shores’ might find ‘The Loss Of Beauty’ a bit different, faster in tempos but still very gloomy and melancholic, so I’m pretty confident the album will be well received by fans in general.” adds vocalist Davide Straccione.
Dark and heavy, tinged with feelings of despair, “The Loss Of Beauty” was released on March 24th, 2023, and recommended for fans of Swallow The Sun, Borknagar, and Paradise Lost.

About: Shores of Null stand out from their contemporaries with their ability to blend seemingly disparate elements into their sound, overwhelmingly heavy and soothing at the same time: blackened aggression stands alongside gothic-doom sections without either sounding out of place. Their music can be both melancholic yet majestic, made of chorale-like guitar textures across the instrument’s entire range, sustained by a powerful rhythmic section and punctuated by a refined mixture of clean and growled vocals, along with extensive use of pleasing vocal harmonies which have become the band’s trademark through the years.
The Rome-based metal band has been an unwavering presence within the metal underground since their musical outset in 2013, churning out three impressive records: the melodic and somber “Quiescence” (Candlelight, 2014), the darker and more complex “Black Drapes For Tomorrow” (Candlelight/Spinefarm, 2017), and finally their most ambitious work to date “Beyond The Shores (On Death And Dying)” (Spikerot Records, 2020), a 38-minute long opus which continues to prove the band’s willingness to go off the beaten path while creating their ultimate doom manifesto.
The band’s fourth album “The Loss Of Beauty”, recorded during the same sessions of “Beyond The Shores”, was released in March of 2023.

Metal Hammer writers’ top metal albums of 2023 – Edwin McFee – #20 – Shores of Null – The Loss of Beauty
“Once again, Shores of Null continue to impress with yet another slab of high-quality doom/death that seems the quintet on an upwards trajectory. Their “Alice in Chains gone doom” recipe needs no repairing, thank you kindly, and while they’ve been around for nearly a decade, it’s still exciting to see where they go from here, because it still feels like The Loss of Beauty is hinting at even greater things to come. Add this to your overcast morning breakfast coffee moments, or your sunny afternoon chillout sessions.” – Angry Metal Guy
“With The Loss of Beauty, Shores of Null have released a hot contender for my album of the year, which I can warmly recommend to every fan of melancholic metal with doom, gothic, melodic death and black metal influences! I give this masterpiece the highest grade!” – Soundmagnet Magazin
“I highly recommend spending a quiet hour listening to the record with headphones.” – Powermetal.de
“It is a highly entertaining set of songs that comes together well nonetheless and leads to an emotional impact upon the listener. Fans of melancholic doom metal will find a lot to like here.” – Metal Bite
“with this new work, the Shores Of Null have shown all their majestic talent: The Loss Of Beauty is an album that mixes evil and joy, clarity and impurity, melodies and distortions with extreme dexterity. An album that will attract you thanks to its enchanting idyllic and romantic scores but which will make you unleash as soon as the rough and atrocious parts come into play: a record capable of transporting the interlocutor into a mystical and fairy environment but simultaneously unhealthy and distressing. Nothing to add: listen to them and I’m sure you will have yourselves confirmed everything I said!” – Metal Wave
“”The Loss Of Beauty” has not lost its beautiful melodies And it is exactly this mix that SHORES OF NULL keep to the end of the album… “The Loss Of Beauty” convinces by far Stretches through its refreshing heterogeneity. Straccione’s very strong vocal performance does the rest.” – Metal.de
“The Loss Of Beauty offers melancholic dark metal with a wide range of influences, from gothic metal to doom metal to melodic black/death metal. With frequent use of clean vocals and deep growls. A must for fans of Paradise Lost, Amorphis and Enslaved.” – Metalogy
