NERVCAST Announce Ontario Show Dates
New Video “Fallen Angels”
Debut EP “Locked And Loaded” Due Out October 21st
Toronto, ON’s NERVCAST announce they will be performing a series of Ontario dates in October and November (dates listed below) in support of their forthcoming debut EP “Locked And Loaded” due out on October 21st. Just as the title describes, this EP introduction from the band is full of four hard hitting tracks that are catchy and have lyrics that are relevant. The EP was mastered by Joey Sturgis (Asking Alexandra, The Devil Wears Prada) plus produced/engineered by Collin Young (Animal Faces, Godstopper, Yonder Peak) and captures the band’s love for classic rock while maintaining today’s standard in modern production.
The band’s music video for their first single “Fallen Angels” can be viewed at the following link:
Vocalist / guitarist Everett Mason comments:
“I would like to introduce the world to our brand new band Nervcast. This video is for our debut song “Fallen Angels” off our upcoming EP “Locked And Loaded”. The video features British actor Paul Mason and in the storyline kidnaps the band and holds us captive while we perform a classical arrangement of our song. In Paul’s mansion, he has installed a jail cell in the basement where he keeps us as prisoners until he wants us to perform for him. We had a lot of fun working with the talented Aaron Alter, who put this whole video together.”
“Locked And Loaded” is available for pre-order on bandcamp with immediate download of Fallen Angels here.

Oct 12 – St. Catharines, ON – The Warehouse – info

NEWS RELEASE

Singles and Album Download here. (for media use only)
On Tour Now! Aussie Thrashers HIDDEN INTENT – Kangaroo Thrash USA Tour 2017 w/ Lich King
Like the riotous music they play, since their inception in 2011, Aussie thrash trio HIDDEN INTENT have been carving their way through the masses with their unabashedly unapologetic ‘80s-throwback thrash metal, a form of music that wholly embraces its American and European roots in the Bay Area, Scandinavian and Teutonic thrash scenes. Being lauded for their “energetic” live show and the “party thrash” they play for their audience, the Adelaide trio have continued to build their name well into the now, which has currently taken them on their “Kangaroo Thrash USA Tour” supporting Lich King plus a last-minute slot on Full Terror Assault this past September performing right before Havok and Toxic Holocaust (dates listed below).
Over the years, HIDDEN INTENT have hit the mosh pit hard releasing their 2013 debut full-length album “Walking Through Hell”, which was re-released in 2014 via Italian label Punishment 18 Records plus unleashed two other singles the same year “Apocalypse Now” and “Addicted To Thrash”, which was mastered by American record producer, mixer, guitarist and songwriter, Chris “Zeuss” Harris (Municipal Waste, Queensrÿche, Revocation).
Song Stream – Apocalypse Now
Music Video – Addicted To Thrash
HIDDEN INTENT have previously supported Danish thrash metal icons Artillery for their ‘Made in China’ 11-date tour in April/May 2015 plus have been national tour support for Nuclear Assault, local Adelaide support for Helloween and Queensryche along with performing at numerous large festivals in both Australia and abroad, including The New Dead Metalfest, headlining the Bangkok Thrash Festival in Thailand, and Perth’s Metal Down-Under among many more.
Following their “Kangaroo Thrash USA Tour”, HIDDEN INTENT will return to the studio to record their much anticipated second full-length album slated for a 2018 release.
HIDDENT INTENT is:
Chris McEwen (ex-Abyzmal, ex-Obsidian Aspect) – Vocals/Bass
Phil Bennett (ex-Desert Eagle/TKBF) – Lead Guitars /Backing Vocals
Paul Lewis (Hawkai, ex-Death Boundaries, Tidal) – Drums

What the press is saying:
“In the past, metalheads had to travel to Germany to experience the rush a big festival, such as Wacken Open Air. But local headbangers decided to bring that feeling home with Armstrong Metalfest.” – Vernon Morning Star
“Go Big or Stay at Home: Armstrong has that welcoming feeling for rock show.” – The Valley Voice
“To witness such a gathering of talent is an absolute privilege, and for that fact alone, I will certainly be returning to Armstrong Metal Fest.” – Beatroute BC
“This festival is now going to be my yearly must-go-to event and if you’re a metal head that hasn’t attended, or a curious metal voyeur, do yourself a favour and check it out, you will not regret it.” – Abort Mag
“The Armstrong Metalfest is one such event and has grown from its initial, humble beginnings seven years ago to be a regular mainstay, with its south-central BC location making for a popular summertime destination for fans and bands alike.” Decibel Mag
Named one of the out-of-town music festivals worth the trip by The Vancouver Sun
“For metalheads, this is a great vacation where groups of all sizes can enjoy their favourite musical genre in a fun, energized environment. Not to mention, the camping!” The Permanent Rain Press
