SPREAD THIN’s New Album “World Of Snakes” Is A Hardcore Feast With A Heavy Helping Of Power-Violence

New Album “World of Snakes” Out July 26th, 2024

Spread Thin, a Wisconsin hardcore quartet, is ecstatic to share their debut full-length album “World Of Snakes”, which hits online platforms today. This record is their introduction to the scene and they are looking forward to the reception of this no-filler, straightforward hardcore album with pungent power-violence and grind influences. They comment on the album:

“We are extremely proud of this record. The songwriting, production, and overall flow is what we wanted for this debut full length and we feel that previous fans so the band will hear and appreciate the evolution, as well as new fans discovering us for the first time.”

Over the course of 18 minutes, Spread Thin demonstrates earnest lyrics with fervent delivery, vocalist Ben Deml thrashes through raucous, scraping guitars wielded by guitarist Alex Dewall. An acute focus on syncopation of the rhythm section is executed by the chaotic, strategic percussion of drummer Tristan Wells and the garish, lively bass arrangements of bassist Bryan W. Fleming.

The album artwork for “World Of Snakes”, was created by Alyssa Servizzi who, according to the band, absolutely nailed the mood and imagery they were looking for and they feel that it best describes the album visually. Unapologetic and impassioned, Spread Thin defines a volition of candor in their songwriting and live performances with forthright emotion and presentation. They are recommended for fans of Rotting Out, Magrudergrind, and Weekend Nachos.

What the press is saying:

“Located an hour and a half east of Calgary is the town of Drumheller, Alberta. With a population in the neighborhood of 8000 and existing smack dab in the middle of Canada’s desert and dinosaur country, it’s not a place one would immediately associate with any sort of metal scene, let alone a big-ass outdoor metal fest. But that’s where you’d be wrong. Going into its 11th year, the Loud as Hell Festival is set to roll on August 4-6th with the likes of Narcotic Wasteland, Jungle Rot and Incite headlining three days of metallic fun featuring 40 or so bands, including The Convalesence, Gorgatron, Necronomicon, Untimely Demise, Eyes of Perdition and more.” – Decibel Magazine

“Western Canada’s loudest heavy metal festival brings fans to town more known for dinos than drum solos.” – CBC Calgary

“What’s more metal than the badlands? Drumheller, AB, is known for being the dinosaur capital of the world — but it’s also the home of the Loud as Hell festival, an event celebrating none other than the loudest music known to man (and, by proxy, prehistoric reptile).” – Exclaim!

“Loud as Hell – one of Canada’s top underground metal festivals – was a metal family reunion. If you walked around the grounds, where tents covered the landscape like flowers, you would experience concert goers laughing, hugging and just enjoying the moment. The music played non-stop and the people were some of the best you’ll meet. What else do you need? If you’re a metalhead fan, mark it down for next year because this is a concert you don’t want to miss.” – Blackfalds Life

“Headbanger alert: Loud As Hell festival to ramp up the volume” – Calgary Herald

“Nevermind the bug spray and sun tan lotion, as August approaches Drumheller residents should stock up on earplugs.” – Calgary Herald

“Loud As Hell returns to the southern Alberta city for its seventh year and as its name implies, will rock the city to its core.” – Calgary Herald

“Loud as Hell has celebrated eight years in the Badlands to date, with acts from all over the world-shattering the peace and quiet of the hills in a camping and music extravaganza.” – Hanna Herald

“Drumheller with its dinosaur bones is the site of the annual Loud as Hell heavy metal festival Friday through Sunday. Dozens of the heaviest bands known to Man will be taking the stage, many of them Canadian” – Gig City​

Brace yourselves for an auditory bloodbath as Heinous Exsanguination releases their first single “Severed Limbs, Mangled Remains”, off their upcoming EP “The Stench of Decaying Flesh”. Featuring a ferocious guest appearance by Richard Smihula of Desoectomy, this track is inspired by the graphic aftermath of conflict and disaster, horror, human suffering, and the enduring impact of violence. And also severed body parts. The band comments:

“This will be the next single released from the upcoming EP. This is a fast and relentless track, starting with chaotic blasts leading into a groovy slam section with no breaks to be found. The song then speeds up again before culminating in a vocal feature by Richard Smihula of Descoectomy. Richard brings some amazing gutturals to end the track in a brutal and uneasy manner.”

This song was heavily inspired by slam royalty, Vasculitis. At the time of writing this album, songwriter Mitchell Christian was heavily into Vasculitis. Expect everything you would want from a slam band -blasts, breakdowns, slams, slow-downs. This track really shows the ability of Christian and vocalist JP to create parts that really blend together. JP’s vocals fuse into the track to become another instrument.

Driven by relentless brutality and spine-chilling intensity, “Severed Limbs, Mangled Remains” is a testament to Heinous Exsanguination‘s dedication to creating the most punishing death metal possible. They are recommended for fans of Embryectomy, Kraanium, and Parasitic Ejaculation.

0 Manuel Barbará Announces New CyberPunk EP “Whisper in a Storm” Out Sept 2024 and Debut Single “Dead Hand”

  • July 24, 2024

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – July 24, 2024

Manuel Barbará Announces New CyberPunk EP “Whisper in a Storm” and Debut Single “Dead Hand”

East Coast metal guitarist and composer Manuel Barbará is excited to announce his upcoming EP “Whisper in a Storm” set to release on September 13, 2024. The EP blends the aggression and technical mastery of heavy metal with the formal and harmonic concepts learned from the great composers of the 19th and 20th centuries. The first single off this EP is “Dead Hand”, which features Jody Miller, a renowned violinist in the video game music scene. Barbará comments on the single:

“The first song that came together for this project, Dead Hand is 6 minutes of unapologetic Monuments worship featuring an incredible violin solo and some creepy textures that I couldn’t have done better myself (I told Jody to play weird stuff, and boy did it work out)”

Musically, “Dead Hand” features a big heavy riff that keeps returning with slightly different feels and that Barbará says gives him an image of a big snake that you definitely don’t want to get in the way of. That riff gives way to all kinds of spacey ambiance and twisty strangeness, ending with a riff that he explains is one of the heaviest and weirdest things he’s ever written, and the scary violin textures tie the whole experience together.

As a Berklee College of Music graduate (2020, Guitar and Composition), Barbará brings his love of modern “classical” music to the progressive rock that has always inspired him. All songs are written and performed by Manuel Barbará and self-published with distribution via Distrokid. The EP promises a heavy, slamming journey to four distinct musical places, showcasing some of Barbará’s best work to date. It is recommended for fans of Monuments, Tesseract, and Periphery.

Listen to the video for “Dead Hand” via its premiere on GhostCultMag HERE.

Due out September 13, 2024, “Whisper in a Storm” is available for digital pre-save at https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/manuelbarbar/whisper-in-a-storm​

Track Listing:​
1. Dead Hand (feat. Jody Miller) – 5:43
2. A Different Horizon (feat. Jake Howsam Lowe) – 5:49
3. Aphelion (feat. Michael Nystrom Bala) – 4:13
4. Whisper in a Storm (feat. Thalia Tymowski & Millisa Henderson) – 4:51
5. Whisper in a Storm (instrumental) – 4:51
EP Length: 24:42

“With its rhythmic elements and heavy riffs, Manuel Barbará’s debut album is in the purity of modern instrumental progressive metal. But his influences from classical composers add an interesting extra touch.”- Music Waves (2021 – Moonrise – LP)

“a spectacular showcase of the progressive qualities of Manuel Barbará.” – Games, Brains and A Headbanging Life (2021 – Moonrise – LP)

“This is an astounding first record. Especially for a single composer. If you are a fan of atmospheric instrumental metal, give it a shot. I give the album a solid 8/10. Manuel is already looking forward to the future with new compositions which are even more refined and elaborate. I’m looking forward to it with great anticipation.” – Belgian Metal Shredder (2021 – Moonrise – LP)

“I really enjoyed my time with this album. I’m a big fan of djenty riffs, dissonant tones and atmosphere which this album provided aplenty. The record shows that Manuel is a master craftsman in composition. The album clocks in at about 35 minutes. In this case that’s a plus. It doesn’t overstay its welcome and makes the tracks stand out more. The album is instrumental, which could be a turnoff for some people. But to me it benefits from it. It’s more of a listening album than an all-out headbang/rocking out record.” – Belgian Metal Shredder (2021 – Moonrise – LP)

“without a doubt that we have a talented musician and composer in front of us. The approach is in large parts of the material progressive metal with the corresponding hardness and complexity… You can’t deny the band’s instrumental quality…” – Metal-Heads.de (2021 – Moonrise – LP)

“Manuel Barbará shines bright on Moonrise… this is a fascinating listen and it is easy to appreciate Manuel’s complex musical narrative… this deserves a listen as it does embody the prog metal ideal and as such, it’s a damn good album: think Tesseract or Periphery.” – RAMzine (2021 – Moonrise – LP)

“Barbará has rejuvenated the instrumental metal genre, boldly handling what is often perceived as a deficit of vocals and composing with refinement and a brilliantly malicious sense of melody and groove.” – Jace Media (2021 – Moonrise – LP)

“It’s unbelievable that Moonrise is the debut of a musical high-flyer. Manuel Barbará releases an unbelievably mature masterpiece, which not only pays homage to its role models Dream Theater, Keith Merrow, or Periphery, but also presents crisp, progressive Djent Metal at eye level, which despite its perfection and precision still offers room for improvement. My recommendation with 8.5 / 10” – Soundmagnet (2021 – Moonrise – LP)

“Inviting the listener in with some mystical soundscapes, the tempo and mood change immediately when the trio start firing on all cylinders with a dent-driven, pushing rhythmic sound alongside Manuel’s epic and virtuosic guitar work. The overall sound is dark and mighty, but every now and then gets brightened by some gleaming tones. The use of electronic sounds add a modern vibe as well and he skillfully alternates between full-power, highly technical, and calmer, atmospheric parts, before taking us to the gigantic ending riff.” – Tuonela Magazine (2021 – Moonrise – LP)

Canada’s THE APHELION Explore Uncertainty In Powerful & Proggy Single “The Seed of Doubt”

New Album “Nascence” Out August 2024

The Aphelion, Ottawa, Canada’s premier progressive metal band, is excited to announce the release of their new single, “The Seed of Doubt”. The track is the fourth single from their upcoming concept album “Nascence”, which tells the story of a man’s descent into madness and his mind in response to the mundanity and repetitiveness of the world around him. The album is set to release on August 9, 2024, and the band shares their thoughts on their next single:

“Musically, this song takes influence from the 70s prog rock era. It features guest appearances by Brian Asselin on saxophone and Eric Littlewood on trumpet. At this point in the story, the protagonist meets the love of his life, and while their new love is beautiful and for a time he is fulfilled and happy, eventually the relationship sours as he becomes afraid of her hurting him, and grows distrustful and controlling.”

“The Seed of Doubt” is a compelling exploration of the inner turmoil that arises from self-doubt. The Aphelion wanted to reflect that tension and resolution through dynamic shifts and intricate compositions. It is a crucial part of the narrative crafted for “Nascence”. The album is the first of a double album that merges personal experiences with sci-fi themes.

“The Seed of Doubt” is a full prog-rock fusion power ballad, with tons of funky rhythms, catchy choruses, and a wild 70’s Deep Purple-inspired organ solo by keyboardist James Cabral dropped in the middle. It is recommended for fans of Rush, Opeth, and Devin Townsend.

Watch and listen to the video premiere for “The Seed of Doubt” on TheProgSpace HERE.

Due out on August 9th, 2024, album pre-order for “Nascence” is available at https://theaphelionofficial.bandcamp.com.

“The sonic goal is one of innovation, dramatic flair, and emotional gravity, with unexpected shifts in genre to create contrast and bring levity. With upcoming double album “Nascence” and “Senescence”, The Aphelion are once again telling an album-spanning story inspired by philosophy and the human condition; a tradition that began with their 2018 release “The Labour Division”.” – The ProgSpace
​
““Fragility!” It’s a wild track that really highlights the bands composing ability, and heavy, yet soulful side.” – Ghost Cult Mag
​
“The Aphelion’s phenomenal vocal range and enticing clashing of instrumentals will prove to be nothing short of intoxicating.” – Canadian Beats

“What strikes me most about the album is how well the themes fit into the music, as well as the level of care they put into their craft. The music has this thread of tension that runs through it in nearly every song, and the musicianship is outstanding. It can go from calm to on fire in a second, and it keeps the listener actively engaged in both the music and the tale. Bravo. 9/10” – Metal-Temple
​
““The Seed Of Doubt,” breathes into the liminal testing of time. A song that shimmers and shivers into bright sparks.” – The Median Man
​
“The Aphelion are very different and refreshingly intriguing. The musicianship is complex as you would expect with prog-metal, but that’s where their genre similarities end. The vocals are wonderfully unique and the tracks from their new album “Nascence” (dropping Aug. 9th) are also full of unique metal passages to take you on a conceptual journey. Tune in & catch The Aphelion on your Home for the Best New Rock…” – WJOE – Findlay’s Home for Rock & Roll
​
“In this single – which I highly recommend – THE APHELION wanted to capture the essence of the vulnerability we all experience. “Fragility” is a testament to the beauty and strength found in our moments of weakness. For them, it is a piece that resonates on a deeply personal level, both musically and lyrically.” – Plus PROG de Vous

Never Elected, a deadly grungy rock group from Washington DC, USA has recently re-released their album “Turbulence” this past April and are stoked about the reception that they’ve gotten so far from it. Now they have a music video for the single “Hate Breeds Hate” that shows off their proactive politically charged lyrics and grungy rock riffs. Reflecting on the band’s journey, Altan Aydin shares:

“Somewhere between hard rock from the late 80s and the early 90s grunge era, our music delves into the turbulent times of our vocalist’s life. The reactions from our live performances range from pure exhilaration to deep emotional resonance, a testament to the raw honesty embedded within our songs.”

Formed by Sujit Kumar and Altan Aydin, both fueled by a shared passion for grunge and rock n’ roll, Never Elected has evolved into a powerhouse ensemble with Dr. T’s melodic bass riffs and Wesley Meyer’s driving force on drums. Despite facing challenges brought on by the pandemic, the band persevered, showcasing their resilience by recording and releasing two singles/music videos during this unprecedented time.

With plans to embark on a tour to promote their upcoming album release, Never Elected invites audiences to join them on a journey of introspection and exploration. They are recommended for fans of Guns N Roses, Soundgarden, and Foo Fighters.

Watch and listen to the music video for “Hate Breeds Hate” via its premiere on Outlaws of The Sun HERE.

“Turbulent” was released on April 19th, 2024, and is available on https://neverelected.bandcamp.com and Spotify.

“Washington D.C.’s Never Elected are bringing back some of the best elements of the ’90s, including the long hair. Fusing the socio-political consciousness of Rage Against the Machine, Living Colour’s furious bass-riffs, and the Foo Fighters’ driving guitars, the band is an in-your-face grunge-revival explosion.” – New Noise Magazine

“It’s really about time that you “Wake Up” and start paying attention to the world around you, including the hard rockers known as Never Elected. The band has just released a visually-stimulating music video to accompany their recent single, a revved-up, riff-driven sonic assault that has been the band’s most successful track since its November 2019 release. “Wake Up” is a preview of what’s to come on the group’s next record which they have been hard at work on this year and are on the verge of completing. If it wasn’t already evident by its title and socio-politically themed lyrics, the hard-hitting music video for “Wake Up” illustrates the fact that the band is out to convey a serious message.” – V13

“After releasing the thought-provoking and socio-politically themed video for their song “Wake Up” last year, Washington, DC’s Never Elected is back with a new video for their song “Where You Belong”. The video touches on yet another serious topic. This time dealing with the struggles of mental health, a topic that is taboo to discuss openly in many cultures.” – All About The Rock

Gigantum, the innovative hard rock band from Los Angeles, USA continues to experiment with the genre norms as they release their second single “Necron99” from their upcoming self-titled debut album slated to hit online retailers on September 6, 2024. Following the successful launch of the single “Monkey King” last month, this new track delves deeper into the band’s eclectic influences and creative synergy, offering fans another taste of what’s to come. Vocalist/bassist Mia X comments on the single:

“A lot of the songs are about conversations that we have at practice. Necron99 came about when Mark told us about this movie he was really into and wanted us to check out called, WIZARDS. After watching it, I went down a rabbit hole to learn more and when he started playing the riff that is now Necron99, I started thinking about the importance of what the movie was portraying.”

“Necron99” has a very heavy, doomy industrial feel that takes the listener into darkness. Gigantum works collaboratively, coming up with riffs that bounce off each other, and in each track, the different ideas and musical influences of the musicians can shine through. The result is an EP that is as complex as it is compelling, offering listeners a glimpse into the band’s creative process.

“Necron99” could be considered the modern-day “War Pigs” and is recommended for fans of Fu Manchu, Mastodon, and Red Fang.

Watch and listen to the lyric video for “Necron99” via its premiere on Outlaws of The Sun HERE.

Due out on September 6th, 2024, Gigantum‘s self-titled album is available for pre-order at https://gigantumband.bandcamp.com.

0 Rockshots Records – Finnish Prog DARKNESS IS MY CANVAS New Video “Day Zero” Off New Album “The End Of Times” Out October 2024

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – July 22, 2024

Finnish Prog DARKNESS IS MY CANVAS New Video “Day Zero” Off New Album “The End Of Times” Out October 2024

​

Finnish prog rock Darkness Is My Canvas is set to release its debut album “The End Of Times” in October 2024 on Rockshots Records. “Day Zero,” the latest single from the album, reveals a new side of the band. While it retains all the familiar elements of their previous tracks, the band has pushed their melodic creativity to the limit, resulting in the magical “Day Zero”. This song is the 7th chapter (and 7th track) of the album, portraying the moment when a path ends and a decision must be made to begin on a new one. “Day Zero” is about starting fresh, from ground zero.

“I wouldn’t call it a concept album because this universe has been around since our last EP. We’ve been telling stories from these same characters’ perspectives in previous releases,” says Pete Erkintalo, responsible for the story and lyrics of Darkness Is My Canvas. “I think ‘Day Zero’ is a beautiful and nuanced song, allowing listeners to feel it from their own perspectives,” Pete continues. The lyrics for the song had been in reserve for a while, part of a few other stories yet to be told.

The song’s structure, vocals, and melodies came together in one evening when guitarist Panu and singer Pete were tired of tweaking another song’s arrangements. “Sometimes these things come together so easily. One night we were just goofing around with guitars and vocal ideas on the studio couch, and it just clicked. A few hours later, we had a nearly finished song with arrangements, melodies, and vocals pretty much done. Sometimes Pete has too many vocal variations, but this time I just let him sing and enjoyed it from the control room, thinking, ‘Yes, that’s it,'” says Panu. “Of course, we made several versions in our signature style to find the right arrangement, and we kept tweaking balances, sounds, and the overall finish until the end.” The guitar melodies came right after the bass track using the “direct från hattan” method. Only the odd section in the middle of the song needed some more time. “I came up with a bass riff in a 15/16 time signature by accident, and we had no choice but to build a solo around it. We even tried a Simon Phillips-style drum solo with our drummer Juza (like the end of Steve Lukather’s ‘Party In Simon’s Pants’), but ended up with a guitar solo. I probably played like 50 versions while struggling with the time signature, but the final version came together effortlessly in one take. The audience has really enjoyed the song live, and it’s fun to play!”

The song follows Darkness Is My Canvas‘ signature style, featuring strong melodies, relatable stories, and excellent arrangements that resonate with listeners. Panu’s atmospheric guitar arrangements complement Pete’s powerful vocal performance, telling the story together. Two more versions of the song will be released: one featuring an up-and-coming indie artist and another as a shortened radio edit.

For those who appreciate bands like Muse, Ghost, and My Chemical Romance, prepare to rock out with Darkness Is My Canvas!

“Darkness Is My Canvas has a ton of catchy tracks on this, their debut album. White Noise is an excellent first offering and is the kind of record that makes you want more from them as soon as you can get it. I look forward to hearing more from this band in the future.” – Metal Zenith

“In terms of prog-oriented albums, ‘White Noise’ is often chunkier than the most melodic Opeth, but always more accessible than their black metal infused earlier outings. It’s got more of an interest in old fashioned rock than ninety percent of the riff heavy Dream Theater wannabes that have flooded the market over the years but occasionally is happy to share as much of a heavy edge, and from a metal viewpoint, the album’s weighty musical canvas reaches further than most.” – Real Gone Rocks

=====================================================

About The EP Artwork:

The album artwork by Armaada Art depicts a scene that does a great job portraying the EP title. With pieces of flesh and body parts scattered throughout a grim setting, and the skull being ripped in half center stage, listeners will get the tone being set by this release.

The album as a whole (LYRICALLY & MUSICALLY):

This album is what happens when two people come together who have a passion for making heavy music simply because it brings us great joy to make. We love listening to and creating brutal music. We love the sound of raw, straightforward production and slamming riffs. This really shows musically on this album, as it is comprised of a combination of slamming riffs, blast beats, and groovy sections. Lyrical and theming influence for the music comes from a combination of horror movies, actual events, or stories based on torture, murder, etc.

Track by track (LYRICALLY & MUSICALLY)

1. “Engorged with Hatred” explores the depths of rage and loathing within the human experience. Sonically, you’ll hear a build-up similar to growing up in the human experience. Explosions and collisions along the way. This song explores multiple different styles of grooves and riffs. Ranging from slams, thrashy sections, polka beats, driving beats reminiscent of Motorhead, and of course triplet breakdowns and pinch harmonics. At the end of the track, you’re hit with brutal double kicks and chainsaw-like high-gain guitars, setting the tone for the EP.

2. “Vile Rotting Mass” depicts the grotesque decay of a once-vibrant entity, exploring hopelessness, death, and decomposition. This song starts off with a brutal lo-fi Slam riff into a head-spinning intro that will surely make the ancient primate within you want to dance. The song then explores different riffs including hardcore-like riffs fused with the classic Slam we all know and love. The “classic Slam riff” will be mentioned a lot! Don’t forget blast beats either. Nothing wrong with too many blast beats. This song then leads you into a swing section reminiscent of mid-century America. If you aren’t exsanguinated by two minutes into the song, you’ll hear slam/brutal death metal legend, Angel Ochoa (Cephalotripsy, Abominable Putridity, Disgorge) spit the filthiest vocals known to man over once again, that classic Slam riff.

3. The song “Savage Evisceration” finds its inspiration in themes of brutality and carnage, violent acts, and the raw, primal instincts that drive them, exploring human nature and aggression. This track hits you hard right away. A riff that will make any caveman shit his pants. Over the top, you’ll hear JP unleash hell on the world with his piercing and grueling vocals.

4. “The Stench of Decaying Flesh” serves as the title track of the project. It paints a grim picture of the suffering and pain that can be inflicted upon people, and the stench that exudes from their rotting corpses. Chainsaws and slow heavy guitars. That’s what will infect your ears upon first starting this song. Into another head-spinning slammy section you’ll be transported to the perspective of the victim at the beginning of the song. Blasting, groove, brutality. The Stench of Decaying Flesh brings just that. At the end of the journey, you will be pounded by huge sub drops and the demonic vocals from beneath performed by Azerate Namakura (Ungraceful).

5. “Severed Limbs, Mangled Remains” is inspired by the graphic aftermath of conflict and disaster, horror, human suffering, and the enduring impact of violence. And also severed body parts. This song was heavily inspired by Slam royalty, Vasculitis. At the time of writing this album, Mitchell was heavy into Vasculitis. Expect everything you would want from a band in our genre. Blasts, breakdowns, slams, slow-downs. This track really shows the ability of Mitchell and JP to create parts that really blend together. JP’s vocals fuse into the track to become another instrument. A groovy break in the song signals the start of California legend, Richard Smihula (Desectomy) to end with a hard-hitting slam that will definitely have you exsanguinated by now if you aren’t already.

5. “Bodies Open Easier Than You’d Think” is a fun song with a very straightforward subject, it’s very easy to open a body. Whether it be surgical tools, a knife, or even bullets, human skin and muscle isn’t that strong. This song is also a reminder to us and anyone else that we are all living our own journey. We all have our own perspectives. We are all somehow living together on a huge rock floating through an infinite universe. To sum that all up, “we ain’t shit”. This song has been released for quite a while now so hopefully if you’re reading this you have heard it. The track takes you through different moments of beatdown, slam, and thrash. Ending with a car crashing breakdown filled with double kicks faster than a hummingbird’s wings.

6. “Meat Cleaver Meltdown” is the culmination of what happens when you just can’t take it anymore. This is another track with a very straightforward subject matter: if someone reaches a breaking point then you don’t want to be around them especially when they’re holding a freshly sharpened meat cleaver. Ah yes, we all love the evil butcher. This last track is another one that will have any caveman getting down. Inspired by the almighty Suffocation, but with a modern slam twist. This song is powerful, making the listener feel like they’re the king or queen of the world. Or underworld. And of course, finishing you off with one last brutal Slam.

=====================================================

====================================================

The album as a whole.

Dark and energic, with surprising turns, but at the same time sticking to good old thrash recipe. Lyrical themes that touch the political specter, but also some the darkest thoughts humans can have. Every song is different and easy to tell apart from each other.

Track by track (LYRICALLY & MUSICALLY).

Strife – The shortest song on the album. Plenty of catchy riffs and a melodic chorus. Dark-themed lyrics.

Fifth Estate – The banger on the album. Old school riffing, angry and fierce. A fast paced song that sticks to your head.

Bad Company  – Heavy song, downtempo. Your only friend is bad company, the loneliness.

Blackened Mind – A semi-ballad. Gets heavier and heavier, before the sweetest solo at the end.

Outsold – The title track. One of the more prog songs on the album. Takes the listener through a journey, with a clean part in the middle of the song.

Rebellious Tendencies – The surprising one. How can this song be placed as number six on the album? Thrash recipe.

Borregaard – The instrumental into oblivion, inspired by the heavy industrial town of Sarpsborg.

There’s Just One Escape – The end shall not be quiet. A fast-paced song, that starts off with a guitar solo.

This release is a revisited version of Tonic Breed’s 2014 album, Outsold. The genre has similarities to the old Bay-era thrash style, integrated with groove, melodic, and heavy elements. This marks the album’s 10th anniversary.

Until 2019, Tonic Breed was a full-pieced metal band, but Patrik K. Svendsen re-branded Tonic Breed to become a one-piece metal project with its first release in early 2021. After collaborating with artists such as Dirk Verbeuren (Megadeth), Björn Strid (Soilwork), and Oliver Palotai (Kamelot), a new, but old album, is now on the horizon. Outsold is not re-recorded, and the album is still credited with the same lineup the band had in 2014.
