The album throws up some punchy punk sounds, gets grimy with rock riffs and lays in the hay singing some country. Does this mean you get three albums for the price of one? Well, if so, I think all three should be worth a listen.

Montreal Alt-Rockers THE RISING FEW Have A Bigger Sound On New EP “Adult Entertainment”
Montreal, QC’s THE RISING FEW are upping their game with a bigger sound and larger than life songs with the launch of their taunting new EP ‘Adult Entertainment’, a high-energy, anthemic songbook sure to resonate with all rock enthusiasts.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 forthcoming 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.
“Adult Entertainment” is due out May 12th and will be available on iTunes, Spotify and all major online retailers.
Try Try Again – Lyric Video – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwbN2X0tJCU
Big Boy Games – Music Video – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SwivNY81Ugc
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.
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)

FREEDOM’S NOTE Posts Tribute Video For Fort McMurray Wildfire Fire Fighters & First Responders
As a tribute to the fire fighters and first responders of last year’s wildfires in Fort McMurray, local rockers FREEDOM’S NOTE have released a special edition video of their song “The Fight” for the 1-Year Anniversary to honour those who worked to save their city.
The video is premiered exclusively on PureGrainAudio.com at http://puregrainaudio.com/videos/freedom-s-note-share-touching-fort-mcmurray-tribute-via-the-fight-acoustic-video-exclusive-premiere
“All of us in the band, like so many more living in Fort McMurray are from other parts of the country and the globe. The day we left our homes we had no idea if we would ever return to the city. Those brave men and women sacrificed so much to ensure we had a community to come back to. They were an inspiration to us and 80,000 plus more people. To show our appreciation we wanted to not only write this song, but share a special video as well!” comments vocalist / guitarist Donny Synard.
FREEDOM’S NOTE is currently working on their first EP album slated for a summer 2017 release and will be performing with Finger Eleven & Buckcherry on August 25th in Fort McMurray at the East Coast Garden Party…. More dates to be announced!
Previous FREEDOM’S NOTE music can be found on iTunes:

NoCleanSinging Premiere 360⁰ Video “Ghost Walkers Exodus” By Sci-Fi Metal RAPHEUMETS WELL
‘Enders Door’ Due Out May 26th via Test Your Metal Records
Pre-Order Available Now!
Playing Mexico City May 26th
Hickory, N.C. sci-fi metal band RAPHEUMETS WELL (Ra-few-mets) will be releasing their next full length ‘Enders Door’ via Test Your Metal Records on May 26th. Once again they will being bring forth a voyage enriched with lore and a sound that is a complex mix of classical orchestrations, cosmic synths, and extreme metal to portray the epics of parallel worlds.
The synopsis of this album is in the fifth era of the Avomenian Empire, amidst the planetary ruins of Vaath, a rogue traveler would discover an artifact that would forever change his place in the cosmos.
Upon arriving to retrieve the artifact, it became apparent that Eryos’s brother Nathyiem would never make it to their arranged meeting point. In departing from the planet Vaath, Eryos received a distress signal from his brother’s ship, coming from an uncharted planet. Upon arriving, he found a odd world inhabited by a mysterious species called the Dreth led by lecherous matriarch named Eishar. It is here that he would uncover a faced-door, an inter-dimensional gateway to the Ender.
Teaming up with NoCleanSinging.com, RAPHEUMETS WELL premiere their new 360 degree video for their second single “Ghost Walkers Exodus”.
Drummer Joshua Nassaru Ward comments:
“”Ghost Walkers Exodus is a metal opera in itself. It is both a tactic and the experience of traversing the odd and hellish lands they are trapped in. We feel this song really embodies our past writing style in harmony with where we have evolved to. We decided to make a 360 video so you can visual explore some of the art of our new album “Enders Door.”
To check out the 360 degree video ‘Ghost Walkers Exodus’, please visit the following link on NoCleanSinging.com: http://www.nocleansinging.com/2017/05/03/an-ncs-premiere-rapheumets-well-ghost-walkers-exodus/

About:
Inspired by the fictitious universe of Sovael, RAPHEUMETS WELL is the name coined to the conscious deity who oversees the anastomosis of the multiverse, the master of portals and inter-dimensional travel. Being personified as a trickster, Rapheumet often creates chaos for unsuspecting voyagers. The word “Well” refers to the gravity wells, which like black holes, are catalyst of change and gateways between the cosmic plains.
Formed in 2008, 2011 and 2012 saw their first two demos followed by their first self release full length ‘Dimensions’ unleashed in 2014 that progressively told a larger story portrayed in a complex saga of Atai (ancient architects) who aid in the propagation of sentient life throughout the multi-verse. In 2016, they released their highly praised sophomore album ‘The Exile’ via Test Your Metal Records.
Now in 2017, from the birth of organic matter to great wars that tear the fabric of space/time, the story of RAPHEUMETS WELL‘s music serves to immerse you into a world of oddities once again with the band’s third release ‘Enders Door’ due out on May 26th via Test Your Metal Records.

“Hickory, NC’s Rapheumets Well(pronounced Ra-few-mets) is a band heavily steeped in science fiction and fantasy. And when I say heavily, I mean HEAVILY. They slam dunk their lushly orchestral and luxurious symphonic melodic blackened death metal into a fantastical and fantastically creative and complex world that I don’t even want to embarrass myself trying to explain. But, you gotta give mad ol’ props to any band willing to dive head first into something as elaborately conceptual as this costumed and inventive septet have from the off.” – Decibel Magazine
“if you like the theatrical havoc generated by Fleshgod Apocalypse and Dimmu Borgir, for example, you’ll fall in love for the music found in The Exile, the brand new concept album by the symphonic horde known as Rapheumets Well. ” – The Headbanging Moose
“As you’re about to find out, this first song from the new album combines turbocharged death metal vehemence with sweeping orchestral melodies, interweaving blazing drumwork and rapid-fire riffing with cosmic synthesizer vistas and fluid soloing, vicious growls and hair-raising shrieks with a vaulting clean-sung passage that coincides with the protagonist’s decision to end his apathy.” – No Clean Singing
“The Exilebrings symphonic elements to more intense and sometimes speedy death metal. Solid bursts of adrenaline, with the symphonies effectively working to provide a balance to these heavier moments, as heard in “The Epic of Darmak.” But the band is more than a one-trick pony, and frequently gives way to other flights of fancy while keeping the death metal sharp…an album that is well-written and enjoyable from start to finish. The potential is there for the band to really spread their wings for album number three.” – Dead Rhetoric
