There is no doubt they should have a record label signing them in the near future and hopefully a full length LP to follow. This album was a very pleasant surprise to me. I used to love this kind of music back in the day and to hear it still being done in modern times with the old sound was a great treat. I love the fact that it has such a raw sound and it is not overly polished. I can’t wait to hear more music from this wildly talented band.

0 Voir – Insurrection – Extraction

https://voir.ca/albums/insurrection-extraction/

L’influence d’Obliveon a toujours été présente dans le style death technique d’Insurrection, mais sur Extraction, elle s’exprime aussi à travers la production calibrée, qui évoque par moment la mécanique sonore de Cybervoid, paru en 1996 (écoutez Parasite). À cela s’ajoute la présence du chanteur d’Obliveon, Bruno Bernier, sur Data Extracted… End Transmission. Au-delà des parallèles avec le groupe culte des années 1990, Insurrection garde le cap en proposant des morceaux accrocheurs, qui s’inscrivent dans la continuité de l’album Prototype (2013).

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – October 12, 2017

 

For fans of Motorhead mixed with Dissection

WARCALL Premiere Album Stream “Invaders” via Decibel Mag

Out October 13th via Plan B Music

European Tour Dates (FR/DE/BE/CZ)

L-R: Phil – Drums, Mat – Guitars, Gord – Vocals and Bass

Inspired by Iron Maiden, Metallica, Motorhead, Dissection and Slayer, WARCALL’s music is fast, aggressive, melodic and dramatic. Unleashing three well-received albums under their bullet-belts (‘Demonarchy’, ‘Blood, Guts and Dirt’, ‘III’), this Montreal, QC power-trio’s fourth assault “Invaders” hits the mosh pit on October 13th via Plan B Music.

Featuring 10 tracks, the album is concept release based on humans fighting back an alien invasion with a message of fighting oppression, resisting, reconquering, but without knowing if it is really over.

Teaming up with Decibel Magazine, WARCALL are premiering the album’s full stream at the following link: https://www.decibelmagazine.com/2017/10/12/full-album-stream-warcalls-invaders/

Vocalist / guitarists Mathieu Simard comments:

“Everybody who has followed WarCall since our beginnings will be extremely satisfied with ‘Invaders’.  It is our best sound, best production, best song writing and best musical performances.  The new album is a return to the style on the first two albums.  On album ‘III’, we wanted a raw approach so it was recorded live in the studio on analog tape for a truly rock and roll feel.  With ‘Invaders’, it’s a more polished production with more energy and experience.”

Album order via Bandcamp – https://warcallmetal.bandcamp.com

Music Video “Riding With Zombies” (features stock footage from George A. Romero’s “Night of The Living Dead” movie and is a track about the grueling life of touring.) – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5e1izPPyeI8 

Following the release of “Invaders”, WARCALL will be embarking on their third European tour (dates listed below).

Simard adds about their live set:

“We want our fans to travel into the universe that we create. For a three-piece, we make a lot of noise. We also include scenic elements that remind the audience of a battlefield so the mood is set up from the beginning of the show. And we dress up military style so there is really no confusion as to who is on stage when we play.”

1. Mission Commando (4:45)
2. Riding with Zombies (3:32)
3. Bully Bastard (3:13)

Toronto-based metal messiahs DECATUR will be unleashing their debut album “Badder Than Brooklyn” produced by Joe Duplantier of Gojira on October 6th, 2017. In preview to its release, the band have teamed up with MetalUnderground.com for the premiere of its full stream. The debut is all-killer, no filler! It doesn’t hide behind its production; it compliments it. These are truly songs of power and empowerment, a clarion call for strength in life’s battles…healing through headbanging. From the power shredding of “Into The Night” and the storytelling of the album’s title track “Badder Than Brooklyn” to the brutal beat down of songs like “Bottled Inside” and “Internal War”, DECATUR feel modern metal has lost its way and they’re here to provide the roadmap forward to the future!

Vocalist/guitarist Jay Sarrazin comments:

“Working on this record was a dream come true for us. We were honoured to be able to work with Joe Duplantier. His vision and knowledge of music is so vast that he opened up so many gates for us. There are so many musicians in the world, but very few true artists and Joe is definitely one of the artists. Getting the chance to work side by side with him was an amazing experience for us. This album turned out better than we hoped. We put a lot of time and effort into the final product. We really scrutinized every piece of it. Our goal was to bring metal back to its hay day. To write a great album and not just a great single. We definitely created something original with this album. Something that’s not happening in metal at the moment. It’s for real fans of real metal. We couldn’t be more excited to take this across Canada to kick off the tour. You should expect us to come for the kill live. We are very excited to unleash this album on the world and to start touring it.”

– 30 –

“Badder Than Brooklyn is one of those wonderful albums that will give you little to complain about…one of the best heavy metal releases this year. Shatterproof & Internal War Pt. 2 confirm this with the former a very traditional & groove-layered slab while the latter goes for a more melodic approach.” Games, Brrrains & A Head-Banging Life
