Lead singer Joel Parent on Spüken :
“These 10 songs span a decade, so there are a lot of different feels happening from song to song that represent what we got into over the years. It’s like we spent 10 years swallowing everything life threw at us, then we threw it all back up again, and are now able to listen to the blended, half-digested version of it.”
“When most people think of ninja, they think of heartless human weapons for hire, door to door deliverers of death, medieval mailmen gone bloody postal for a price. Its true, some people who practiced ninjutsu in feudal Japan did this and profited by it, and gave birth to the modern image of the ninja in all their violent hilarity. But in the beginning the skills for which ninja have become radical and revered arose out of necessity. The ruling samurai class prized honour above all else, even life. The peasant class often reaped the deadly benefit of this disregard for life. But some of them rejected this devaluation of their lives and sought ways to survive in spite of it. They were creative, skilled and deadly in their pursuit of a way of peace. They removed the hindrance of ego and status and instead let a reverence for life shape their approach. Unbound by the protocols of oppression, they invented unprecedented survival methods that have become legend. They unified mind, body and spirit in their art, they used what they had, they broke all the rules.
Ninjaspy takes this approach and applies it to music.”

0 Insane Voices Labyrinth – Slagduster
0 Canadian Beats – Mutank – W.H.A.T.S.T.H.A.T.
http://canadianbeats.ca/2017/06/16/review-mutank/
Mutank had 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

0 Hellbound – NINJASPY – SPÜKEN
http://hellbound.ca/2017/06/ninjaspy-spuken/
Spüken is a real smorgasbord of influences, but the band also achieves the grand feat of being extremely coherent…There are no weak tracks; personal highlights are ‘Grip The Cage’, ‘Azaria’ and the splendidly titled ‘Dead Duck Dock’. Overall, a band that shines out as individual, and in our overtly uniform world that can only be a good thing!
0 Manic Mosh Mag – #6 – Matt Chanway – S/T EP
All together, this one well balanced shred affair that moves somewhere in between the classic shred work of Tony Fredianelli and Toby Knapp whilst maintaining a sound that is very much Matt Chanway’s own. Strong.
