NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – May 18, 2017

 

For Fans of Lamb Of God, Pantera, Slipknot, Mudvayne, HellYeah

Antichrist Mag Premiere NUCLEAR OATH “Faith Let Go”; New Album “Toxic Playground” Out June 9th

     NUCLEAR OATH is a five-member groovy, heavy, sludgy, intense, and interactive metal wrecking crew from Medicine Hat, Alberta. Influenced by such bands as Pantera, Slipknot, Sylosis, Lamb of God, and Avenged Sevenfold, they will be releasing their new album ‘Toxic Playground’ on June 9, 2017 to follow their debut EP ‘Ashes of the Unborn’. The forthcoming album will take the listeners on a journey inspired by the band’s personal experience and struggles combined with intense energy. They hope each individual who listens takes something different from the band.

“We feel it is an aggressive album from start-to-finish, which generates different emotions as the album progresses.” says the band.

Teaming up with Antichrist Magazine, NUCLEAR OATH premiere the third single “Faith Let Go” off “Toxic Playground”.

Vocalist Peter Mercer comments:

“”Faith Let Go” is about releasing the old faith and beliefs you had build up in life and making room for yourself to grow and change your viewpoints, letting go of the past and looking to the future. It’s a short song with a clear message, thunderous kicks in the chorus and groovy, but heavy bass and guitars throughout the song.”

“This beast (Razor Blade Regrets) is a mid-pace rumbling steamroller pierced by shattering, acid-spewing shrieks and wild howls, and following a bridge, it punches into destructive nail-gunning mode as well. Heavy-grooved and battering, it’s an infectious, high-energy track.” – No Clean Singing

“Bringing a groove side of heavy metal and death metal, Nuclear Oath is giving you a punch and a dance with their new song and NSFW artwork ‘Razor Blade Regrets‘” – Musicology


“They were super professional from start to finish when they filled in on short notice for a show we had a cancellation on, including playing a wicked set of modern thrash that the crowd responded to big time. Would book them again. I’ve also played them on the air and will play them again on the podcast too. Thumbs up from CC Getty!” – C.C Getty (MetalHeads United)

 
“Nuclear Oath are a tight , high energy act with a professional attitude and good stage etiquette (in terms of set-up, tear down) and I’d be pleased to recommend them for a slot on Armstrong 2017” – Joshua Wood – CJSW – Megwatt Mayhem / Metal-Rules.com
 
“I really enjoyed working with Nuclear Oath when I booked them in Edmonton. They have an energetic and terrifying live show and great attitudes! They had an incredible ability to read the crowd and really cater the show to fit what the audience wanted. I would happily book them again and again.” – Cara Ashbey (Odessa Management)
 
“Hard as fuck no bull shit metal” – Mark Russell (Calgary Beercore/ Citizen Rage)
 
“Intense live band, wicked songs with a high energy sound and stage performance that the crowd can really get into. They treat their band as professionally as they can and are very easy going guys who are fun to work with.” – Nate Reno (Calgary Metalfest)

the way that Karkaos infuses all of their elements that make it a standout record. This is a band that can strike hard and fast if they want to, and on a number of occasions bring out some rather pleasing, death metal-induced heaviness.

0 Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life – Album Review: Karkaos – Children of the Void (Self Released)

  • May 17, 2017

  • · Karkaos

The 12 tracks of Children of the Void take you on a symphonic journey, a journey filled with pace & intense metal riffs blended with soaring melodies. The mix of female vocals against the death metal growls, the super-fast drum beats, the screaming guitar solos & action packed orchestral elements really push Karkaos to another level.

Think the guitar style of Children of Bodom with the brutality of Arch Enemy & the melodic nature of Epica but with their own unique sound.

Montreal Alt-Rockers THE RISING FEW Post Time Lapse Mural Video For New EP “Adult Entertainment”

Montreal EP Launch Presented by Hennessy – May 26th @ Le Plateau Lounge

The EP is now available as of May 12th on iTunes, Spotify and all major online retailers.In support of the EP, vocalist and illustrator Karim Terouz has put together a time lapse video painting a mural of the release’s cover artwork to background samples of their new tracks.

In additional news, those local to Montreal are invited to the band’s FREE entrance CD launch presented by Hennessy at Le Plateau Lounge (901 Rue du Square-Victoria) on May 26th. THE RISING FEW will be joined by friends Po Lazarus opening the event with an acoustic set. The launch will also be in a gallery-like setting with a hand drawn replica of the massive mural painted by THE RISING FEW vocalist Karim Terouz (watch here) up for auction along with installation art. Plus on location at the event, THE RISING FEW will be joined by The Vocalist Magazine, the Bell Media documentary show that highlights Montreal artists on Bell Fibe TV.

About “Adult Entertainment”:

Cairo born singer-songwriter, Karim Terouz, fronts the now expanded THE RISING FEW, a culturally diverse group of Montreal musicians from scattered points of the world (Haiti, France, Syria, Canada, Brazil, Armenia and Egypt) that seem to converge in their shared love for melodically constructed, Springsteen inflicted rock and roll storytelling.

With their new EP, ‘Adult Entertainment’, the follow up to their 2014 debut album “Sinners On St-Laurent’”, THE RISING FEW have transitioned from their beginnings as a folky local singer songwriter/backing band to stadium-worthy rock for the world’s global mainstream stage.

Delusional behavior is the main theme driving this new EP’s lyrical and musical content. Songs like “Big Boy Games” illustrate the act of treason while ‘’The Sinking of The I’m Alone’’ depicts the historical sinking of the Canadian schooner the ‘’I’m Alone’’ during the prohibition era. Other songs like the hypnotic “Try Try Again” flirts with the delusion of failure while the subtle ‘’Lights and Shadows’’ tackles melancholy in love-loss, as you cannot fight without loving. The generous EP also contains 2 additional bonus tracks.

“It was GO BIG or GO HOME! We’re all recent immigrants to Canada and in a time where cultural differences are threatened, THE RISING FEW take the chance to promote their unity, by tackling these issues and presenting them in classy, colorful, adult contemporary rock.” says Karim Terouz.

Track Listing:

1. Try Try Again (Gonna Need A Helping Hand) (4:24)
2. Gullible (4:08)
3. The Sinking of The I’m Alone (3:22)
4. Big Boy Games (2:52)
5. Save Yourself (2:52)
6. Lights And Shadows (5:16)
7.Try Try Again (Bonus) (3:40)
8. Hit The Monarchy (Bonus) (2:46)

EP Length: 29.24

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – May 17, 2017

For fans of  Ghost, Mastodon, Opeth, Agent Fresco

Montreal’s ECKMAN DREDGE Premiere Debut Single “Get Away Closer’ On PureGrainAudio

The mysterious mind of Montreal’s Eckman Dredge is finally being revealed with the debut of his first single “Get Away Closer” premiered on PureGrainAudio.com. The track off his forthcoming debut self-titled album produced by Glen Robinson (Voivod, GWAR) with mastering by Howie Weinberg (Nirvana, Muse) and is planned for release later this fall 2017.

“On behalf of myself and the wonderful musicians I serve with, thank you for engaging with our music. The opportunity to connect with people is why we do what we do. Love always!” – Eckman Dredge.

Listen to “Get Away Closer” at the the following link: http://puregrainaudio.com/audio/eckman-dredge-unveils-stream-of-new-single-get-away-closer-exclusive-premiere 

To Eckman Dredge, the world is a strange and dangerous place. But those of courage can break through its placid surface and peer at the naked mystery of life. They can open their eyes and escape the dull monotony of an existence lived as it is served. They can reach out and hold firm to that which lies beyond; pulling themselves along. And what do they see out there? A chance, an opportunity. A burning moment of singular choice that can reveal a path of discovery beyond the shackles of assumption.

Welcome to the journeys of one who lives beyond. These are the experiences of a man; of a warrior wandering the planes of greater realities. This is the journey of Eckman Dredge. For him, and those like him, there are no guarantees. Nothing is given. But out here there is hope; a march towards revelations that lie beyond the horizon. His music; built from a world beyond the one we know; let it take you. Let it push you beyond the limits of yourself. Join him as he plunges headlong into the unknown. Out here the risks are great and deadly. But ahead there is light. Just ahead there is the brightness of day. And that is where we are headed. So sit up, take heart, and follow him to a place beyond the stars.

As Eckman Dredge continues his journey, his experiences find rhythm through a band bearing his name. They pull his message from their instruments and envelope those with an ear for it. One of their first performances where they will preview Eckman Dredge‘s material will be in Montreal on July 17th at Piranha Bar supporting Cave of Swimmers.

Show Dates:
July 17 – Piranha Bar – Montreal, QC w/ Cave of Swimmers
