Formed in 2010, Italian Folk Metal band Kanseil are a 21st century version of their land’s rich-story telling tapestry, they are bards with instruments, musical archaeologists, excavating the sounds and stories of their country’s past to create something new, beguiling and beautiful. They are a musical time machine, bringing forth riches from the past into the present.
In 2014, Kenseil signed to Nemeton Records, and released their full-length debut album ‘Doin Earde’ the following year.
Between 2014 and 2016 Kanseil played more than 60 shows with the likes of Korpiklaani, At The Gates, Enslaved, Folkstone, Manegarm, Arknoa, and Omina.
Inspired by Eluveitie, Skyforger, Arkona, Agalloch and Alcest , lead vocalist Andrea Facchin describes Kanseil’s music as “evocative, overwhelming, heavy, varied and dynamic!”
This year Kanseil will release their second full-length album ‘Fulische’.
Andrea explains that “’fulische’ are the sparks of a fire moving away from the element they were born from, they shine in their own glow and you can watch them for a few instants before they disappear forever in the dark…In the same way mankind’s stories live in the collective memory until they take flight and you have a limited time to look at them and catch their beauty before they’re lost.”
Unlike so many bands, Kanseil really are able to recreate their sound on stage.
“Live concerts are our great passion. We have fun giving them and we always get a great feedback from our audience. We care and say that all of the instruments used in the tracks of this album, such as the bagpipes, the whistles, and so on, will be used in live concerts as well. Our lyrics regard local tales and legends and traditions and pretty recent events that are worthy of attention and deserve to be remembered and saved from oblivion for the listeners!”

Vancouver, BC’s progressive tech death metallers NECK OF THE WOODS have issued an update of North American tour dates in support of their debut album “The Passenger” released last September via Basick Records. The debut album was recorded at Rain City Recorders and produced by Stu McKillop and the band, with art direction by vocalist Jeff Radomsky and layout design by Kevin Moore at Soft Surrogate. The nine-track offering truly captures the band’s crushing blend of progressive, death-inspired, technical, and groove-laden metal.
Guitarist Dave Carr comments:
“We can’t wait to hit the road and make some new friends. Being from Ontario myself, I’m personally very excited to bring this band back to where I grew up and play the circuit. This is a huge opportunity to get our music out to a whole new fan base, especially with the US dates. We’re ready to hit the road and show everyone what NOTW is all about!”
Vocalist Jeff Radomsky adds:
“We’re all looking forward to playing for a ton of new audiences across Canada and the Eastern U.S.. We’ll be branching into so many new areas, most of which I’ve never traveled to! Save the date, this tour will be one you won’t forget!”
Unrelenting in their live performances, NECK OF THE WOODS have quickly earned themselves a reputation as one of the most exciting acts to emerge from Vancouver’s metal scene. Making appearances at multiple Canadian festivals (Loud As Hell, Sled Island, Armstrong Metal Fest, Calgary Metal Fest) along with supporting major touring acts such as CONVERGE, EVERY TIME I DIE, MISERY SIGNALS and more, NECK OF THE WOODS have established themselves as a high energy set not to be missed. Their sonic palette is one that is complex, dynamic, and progressive, continuously pounding away at the wall of death.
“The Passenger” is available digitally through Basick Records here and on physical CD through the band’s Bandcamp here.

“This is an assured slab of stylish and progressive extremity from an obscenely talented band with shitloads of potential..” – METAL HAMMER
“Progressive metal outfit Neck Of The Woods have combined deep grooves, technicality and progressive elements and merged them with death metal on their upcoming debut release, The Passenger.” – DECIBEL MAGAZINE
“Their influences come from all over the prog metal spectrum (and beyond), and as such there really is no way to get any more specific. You’ll be tempted to compare them to Opeth, Between the Buried and Me, Soilwork and even Every Time I Die… and then there’s the guitar solo, which some straight up, epic Zakk Wylde shit. And that’s just on this one track from an album of nine.” – METALSUCKS

Discography:
2015 – Self Titled (LP)
The Cambridge English Dictionary describes the universe as ‘the whole system of created things.’ Well… Saskatchewan’s HARNESSING THE UNIVERSE are a band more than capable of living up to the infinite possibilities of their name, harnessing the power of the universe to create music of great spirit and originality. As the great Stephen Hawking memorably said, “Always look up at the stars not down at your feet!”
Inspired by Black Mountain, Stoned Jesus and Brant Bjork, the band’s sound is best described as “powerful, interesting, serious, spacious and epic!”.
Their upcoming album ‘In The After’ shows great progression from their 2015 self-titled debut.
“We are trying to bring the listener on a ride with us…Longer song lengths allow for peaks and valleys in the soundscape and the change in feel from upbeat to chill and back again in the course of the same track…We want to take the listener on a musical journey of epic highs and lows. It’s not party music! It’s something you put on when you’re thinking about life and you need a soundtrack to back up your thoughts.” says drummer Travis Weibel.
The band are psyched for fans to hear their new music.
“For true fans who can sink their teeth into it, they should really enjoy it. Lots to take in! The music will hit you in big waves if you are patient and hang on for the ride!”
In fact, HARNESSING THE UNIVERSE have created their own genre of music.
“We’ve evolved into better players. That’s caused our music to grow into larger than life songs… Meditation Music For Metalheads!”
Live is the natural environment of a proud jam band.
“You can expect the whole spectrum of sound. Expect five passionate artists who have spent their life honing their craft…for you! From ambient noise to a wall of sound that will blow you away!”
HARNESSING THE UNIVERSE’s debut album is available on iTunes, Amazon and the HTU Online Store.
