About:

LAST BULLET was forged by a deep passion from five individuals striving to become the very embodiment of rock n’ roll it-self.  Taking great pride in knowing exactly what it takes to get asses shaking, fists pumping and heads banging, LAST BULLET are best known for their utterly intense and electrifying live show. For this Toronto-based quintet, pursuing a career in music is akin to war. The stage is a battlefield, leather is their armour, instruments their weapons, music their ammo and failure the enemy.

With the ambitious goal of re-igniting a market almost completely devoid of swagger and attitude, this is a band that reveres the historical significance of rock music and gladly embraces the blood, sweat and tears necessary to succeed in this industry. The sole reason LAST BULLET has found any success is by holding themselves accountable for giving fans every ounce of their souls on stage. The very integrity of the band relies on this self-imposed creed:

Every song will sound better than it does on the album, every time.

Every note will be performed with charisma, emotion and intensity.

Every dollar of every ticket will be earned in sweat, effort and passion.

Every single fan will be thanked and appreciated every time, every show.

Nothing is ever good enough. Always strive for perfection and NEVER plateau.

“The EP ’80-69-64′ in general is a killer release 6 tracks of pure classic sometimes blues infused always sleazy rock, no fillers just pure fashion killers.” – We Rock Webzine

“80-69-64 is a short, six-song album that packs a lot of punch and no filler.” – The Frontrow Report

“Do you like rock music that gets your hips moving and head bobbing? Did you enjoy the swagger of Guns and Roses when they broke on to the scene many moons ago? Do you enjoy a touch of the old Stone Temple Pilots rock groove or Def Leppard’s sensible pop rock? These are some of the thoughts that came to mind when listening to Last Bullet’s self-released E.P. 80-69-64. Neatly giftwrapped for your listening pleasure, each song has the strength to stand on its own. There is no filler here folks.” – Adrenaline 101 Radio 

“these guys certainly have that late Skynyrd-esque sound to them that I just love! … Rock on lads!” – Wayout Radio

“In the vein of Velvet Revolver, Stone Temple Pilots & Buckcherry, Last Bullet are a hard rock band with a little bit of a filthy swagger about them.” – Games, Brains & A Headbanging Life

“Their musicianship is top notch, their energy is off the charts…” – Shannon Ambrose, Writer at The Portal Magazine

     We live on the layers of deep time and history, strata of times past; life literally depends on centuries of decay. Now, progressive extreme metal visionaries CENTURIES OF DECAY build on the metal that has come before to create the metal of the future. Known for creating an intense powerful atmosphere and letting the metal speak for itself in their live performance, the Toronto based quintet are bringing that experience to fans in their debut self-titled concept album set for release on August 4th.

Teaming up with EchoesAndDust.com, the band is premiering the exclusive full album stream at the following link: http://echoesanddust.com/2017/08/centuries-of-decay-centuries-of-decay-review-exclusive-album-premiere/

Drummer Derrick Doucette comments:

“We’ve often thought about the fragility of civilization throughout history and the idea of events repeating itself. With that in mind, our concept album tells the story of society being born, corrupt and destroyed in an endless cycle. It can be taken as a literal piece of fiction, or even a social commentary. It also comes from more personal issues such as depression, disillusionment and failure.”

Album pre-order available on Bandcamp here and Amazon here.

About:

We live on the layers of deep time and history, strata of times past; life literally depends on centuries of decay. Now, progressive extreme metal visionaries CENTURIES OF DECAY build on the metal that has come before to create the metal of the future.

Formed in 2013 in Toronto, Ontario, CENTURIES OF DECAY sound is ‘atmospheric, intense, powerful, dynamic, and heavy’.

Drummer Derrick Doucette explains the roots of the band’s name.

“The intention of the name is to paint an image of nature reclaiming the lands and cities and erasing the traces of humanity once people have been removed from the world. This can also be open to interpretation. Some may see Centuries of Decay as being in reference to an extended period of social degradation or the idea of the planet being a barren land void of life entirely. We chose this name because we felt it conveyed a powerful image and atmosphere, which appropriately went hand-in-hand with our musical style.”

That style will be unleashed by the four-piece on their self-titled debut album due out August 4, 2017, which drummer Derrick Doucette is eager for fans to hear.

“I was told recently that someone found our sound very unique and refreshing. That really meant a lot to me and I would love if that opinion was shared by both old and new fans. I find we’ve taken our influences from various sub-genres of extreme metal and turned them into a tasteful blend of compelling, climactic and devastating intensity on these seven tracks.”

Fans can also expect more music in the future.

“We are already looking forward to writing more material and refining our sound more. I’m excited to see how our sound will evolve…Our fans can expect multiple albums as that was the intent from day one!” adds Doucette.

Live, CENTURIES OF DECAY have their own unique approach to performing, they make every set flow together, creating a huge atmosphere and letting the metal speak for itself.
(bio written by Steve Earles)

“”Centuries Of Decay bring together old styles to create new, exciting sounds on debut…From the lurching behemoth of the aptly titled “Centuries of Decay” all the way through to the grandiose finale of “Demise”, Centuries Of Decay bring familiar sounds together and forge a glorious new path forward.” – Rock and Roll Fables

“This is not a one-dimensional album that’s easily described. Each song has its own style and flavour, mixing different styles together with well-deserved contempt for genre restrictions and constraints. Centuries of Decay have crafted a modern extreme metal release that effectively combines these different strains of metal into something all of their own.” – Wonderbox Metal

“A concept record regarding the changing times & how life depends on centuries of decay, the ten minute self-titled opening song showcases melodic metal with deep oceans of imagination. Haunting but with a real sense of beauty, the guitar melody alongside a fascinating drum beat is such an appealing sound. A sound that suddenly takes on a darker tone, upping the heaviness & dealing out an absolutely stunning chugging guitar attack. There is no arguing with that start, absolutely mesmerising.” –  Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life

“Up next was Centuries Of Decay, who gave us some atmospheric death metal. Devin Doucette and Rob McAllister shared guitar and vocal duties. Devin sang lead and handled a chunk of the brutal vocals but they gave a few great harmonized melodic vocals. Their last song had an additive time signature, which is something that really catches my attention as a musician.” – Metal Master Kingdom (Live Review Wacken Metal Battle Canada 2016 – Toronto)
