NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – October 27, 2017

For fans of Experimental Prog Funk Djent, Animals As Leaders, Felix Martin, Plini, Between The Buried And Me

Out Now! VVON DOGMA I Streaming Debut EP “Communion”

Created By Ex-Unexpect Bassist ft. 9 String Bass Frankenstein 

New Video “Communion”

Inspired by artists as diverse as Radiohead, Meshuggah, Deftones, James Blake, Jean Baudin, Die Antwoord, Clint Mansell, Igorrr, Arvo Part and Hans Zimmer, Montreal’s VVON DOGMA I’s was created by lynchpin Frederick Filiatrault aka ChaotH whom was driven to form the group when his previous band Unexpect parted ways.

Experimenting with elements of prog, djent, funk, and electronic sampling plus featuring his frankenstein 9 string bass, VVON DOGMA I are now streaming their debut EP “Communion” for its official release today on October 27th. Frederick hopes that fans will get something truly special from the music that is a blend of everything he is musically and is definitely more accessible than what he has done in the past. The EP is a true trip for lovers of outside the box thinking with its bashing low ends to its pummeling and dominating 9 string bass accompanied by the ripping of an 8 string guitar along with some morbid electronic samples for good measure.

“I wanted to feature my freak instrument of a nine-string bass. It is often a Frankenstein of bits and pieces of writing. But I also want people to know it’s not about shredding or anything. I wanted to see how I could apply this weird playing style in a musically accessible venue. My art is song writing plus arranging and the 9 string is only one aspect of it. I find it definitely adds an interesting flavor. Hopefully people will see it for what it is as a whole.”

“What would happen if you lock Daft Punk, Meshuggah, Apoptygma Berzerk and Scorn into a rehearsal studio? Well, I have no idea but this fascinating EP by Vvon Dogma I might give you an idea. To say that this EP is quite varied would be a tremendous understatement. Elements from industrial (techno ànd metal), progressive rock, trap, funk, house, djent and metal pummel you down until have no idea where you are or what musical age you’re living in. Of course, there is ChaotH at his 9-string bass, but that is just one aspect of the unique and eventful sound of this band. Or in one word: Wow !” – Merchants of Air

It’s a very unique EP.” – Games, Braaains & A Head-Banging Life

“Fans of an old school thrash/speed sound will find plenty to enjoy throughout Invaders. 10 tracks of meaty metal that makes you want to dig out the old patch jacket & head-bang until your neck fuses.” – Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life

“If you enjoy old school thrash, early speedy rock ‘n’ metal MOTÖRHEAD or DARKTHRONE in their thrashy black metal/crusty punk phase then WARCALL will wet your appetite and get you salivating! Dig out your battle vest, your white washed denim jeans and white trainers and bang that head furiously!” – All About The Rock

“If you’re looking for a new school band that respects and incorporates old school cool into their sounds almost flawlessly, then you’ll wanna be all over Invaders.” – Blood Rock Media

“A fucking great, ass kicking debut from one of the best acts of the 2K era of Canadian Metal Scene.” – ArcBasstard/ Impaled Nazarene

“The creativeness they’ve put into their debut far surpasses anything else I have heard from new Canadian bands this year…Inventive, fun, crisp and a great first offering”. – Exclaim!

“Warcall is its own band and a good one at that”. – Metallian.com
 
“WARCALL’s delivery is fresh, powerful, with good drive and melodies and this tight-knit feeling that just gives you this sense of urgency.” – The Metal Observer

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – October 24, 2017

 

For Fans of Lamb of God, DevilDriver, Chimaira, Hatebreed, Machine Head

ARISEN FROM NOTHING Premiere New Video “Chaos” via Bravewords

New EP Out Now “Broken” via Collective Wave Records

Unleashing their latest EP “Broken” via Collective Wave Records this past September, Seattle groove metallers ARISEN FROM NOTHING have a new music video for their track “Chaos” exclusively premiered on Bravewords.com.

Watch “Chaos” at this link: http://bravewords.com/news/exclusive-arisen-from-nothing-premier-chaos-video

Inspired by Lamb of God, Five Finger Death Punch, Disturbed, Killswitch Engage, ARISEN FROM NOTHING’s sound can be best described as “aggressive, driving, groovy, powerful, brutal”. Their new EP draws influence from the state of the world around us and is a strident call for unity. As a whole, the EP is best described as their own twist on modern heavy metal, doing their best to deliver an element of groove that you can bob your head and tap your feet too, while remaining aggressive and fast enough to windmill and mosh. Rich melodic choruses, a lot of underlying melody in the riffs and solos, and drums that you feel in your chest.

Guitarist Troy Elmore comments:

“There’s a lot of subject matter fans should be able to relate to so I’m hoping it will be received well. Fans will appreciate the new AFN sound, and new direction the band is going in. We wanted songs that had moments of musical complexity but maintain a groove that gets your toes tapping and your head banging.”

“Broken” EP Full Stream – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ezasMAk4ak

EP is available on iTunes, Amazon and CD Baby.

Limited Edition blue vinyl (only 200 copies) available Collective Waves Records online store at https://www.collectivewave.ca/shop.

Track Listing:
1. Chaos (4:37)
2. American Patriot (3:57)
3. Better Off Dead (3:39)
4. Falling From Grace (3:59)
5. Born Hated (3:41)

In reference to BROKEN, Gary “G.A.” Allen of KHTQ Rock 94½ FM said, “Having followed you guys for awhile now I can honestly say this is one of those DNA in a bands evolution, really well done!”

“Broken opens with a bang. Chaos is a groove-laden slab of metal with killer riffing & a mix of guttural & clean vocals.” – Games, Brrraaains And A Headbanging Life

“Seattle natives Arisen From Nothing have pointed to a possible bright future with the release of this new EP. Modern metal they definitely are, but they employ enough old school techniques – you know, good playing, good songwriting, that kinda thing – to attain a sort of ‘best of both worlds’ state of metal grace that definitely marks them out as ones to watch.” – Sentinel Daily
 

“Broken, proves to be a 5 tracker of considerable pace and power featuring fluid solos, aggressive verses, semi-melodic choruses and all manner of Disturbed meets Chimaira (oh how we miss Chimaira!) meets Devildriver shenanigans to take a hefty bite out of…Big songs, big performances….Arise From Nothing could rise to be….BIG!” – Worship Metal
