0 Kultur 666 – Valfreya – Promised Land

  • February 6, 2017

  • · Valfreya

Well produced and written with talent, Valfreya has released a really interesting album that, in my opinion, might please death metal fans, more than some bands in the folk/pagan metal style, where some times volktroll is more present and aggressiveness less put up front. With Valfreya you have blast beats and guttural vocals along the chants of the lovely female bandmate Crook. So, if you’re looking into epic metal, but is still into the death realm, try ‘Promised Land‘ by Valfreya.

      Hailing from Calgary, AB, the imaginatively named FROM THE WOLVES mix melody with metalcore, creativity with carnage, and intelligence with aggression, something they’ve nailed with their new EP ‘Nightmares’ produced by Rob Kukla (Arbitrator) with mixing and mastering done by Sacha Laskow (Every Hour Kills, ex-Divinity). Teaming up with fellow Calgaryians Shark Infested Daughters for the ‘Van Flip And Die Tour’, the metalcore tyrants are taking their self described sound of “an absolutely horrifying unnatural train-wreck” across British Columbia in February along with a hometown show.

‘Nightmares’ EP stream available via Bandcamp here plus digital download via iTunes.

About:

Hailing from Calgary, the imaginatively named From The Wolves mix melody with metalcore, creativity with carnage, and intelligence with aggression, something they’ve nailed with their new EP ‘Nightmares’ , which captures their live fury forever like some creature in amber. Describing their sound as “an absolutely horrifying unnatural train-wreck” and live as “a very high energy show”, From The Wolves are taking their music to the next level with inspiration from The Ghost Inside, Parkway Drive, Emmure, Norma Jean and The Acacia Strain.

As drummer Layne Frank says of the new EP. “Our fans will love it. It is fast and aggressive with hard hitting riffs with some melodic hooks thrown in…we want our listeners to go through an emotional roller coaster when listening to us.”

The creative well for From The Wolves is deep. “We wanted a fast and aggressive EP and these three songs were perfect for what we were going for. Fans can expect a lot more music from us.”

Fantasy plays no part in From The Wolves’ lyrical influences as they are inspired by “life experiences and anything we strongly believe in.”

Layne feels that From The Wolves’ sound is evolving rapidly. “We have grown a lot as a band, when we started, we were mainly writing with a more ‘hardcore’ style as you can hear with songs like ‘Empty Promises’, ‘Sheep’ and ‘Antagonist’ but we were always pushing for metalcore with ‘Legacy’. ‘Dead End Horizons’ and the latest song, ‘Calloused’. We have come a long way when it comes to song-writing and how we structure songs…We are influenced by a ton of different styles of metal. The main influences for us would have to be metalcore, deathcore and everything in between.”

As Layne sums up confidently. “On the whole the EP is just an angry statement towards the world and everything we all deal with on a daily basis.”

‘Nightmares’ was released October 14, 2016.

“A Cold Embrace,” is metal to the core.  With an intense mixture of hardcore and metal, “A Cold Embrace,” features amazing music, amazing song writing and amazing intensity…The vocals, riffs and backend bass and drums, are technically on point and make this an amazing EP.  From the churning guitar on “Dead End Horizon,” to the technical masterpiece, “No Miracles,” this EP has an intense vibe running through it that sounds like a prison riot set to music and that means, it kicks ass.  No matter if you like hardcore, metalcore, metal, etc, “A Cold Embrace,” is a big sounding EP from a band with a big future and a Bro-Metal rating of, 9/10″ – Bro Metal

“FTW were a lot of fun in the studio and they came with professional attitudes about their music. Hopefully this will be a band that continues to stick around the scene and develop their music, I’m really looking forward to how their sound develops” – Rob Kukla (Producer)

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – February 6, 2017

‘Don’t Forget The Business In The Music Business’ Author Antonio Ponce Posts 3 Tips To Schedule Your Time For Success



‘Don’t Forget The Business In The Music Business’ author Antonio Ponce has posted a new blog on tips on how to budget time, the most precious resource for an artist.

“Most people have no idea where their time goes. These same people will tell you they have no time. If they were to document what they did last week hour by hour I bet they would be surprised to see where their time goes. Most people are busy to be busy doing things that are not moving them towards achieving any goals. If you are not scheduling your time with purpose, then you will stay stuck.” says Ponce.

Entitled ‘3 Tips To Schedule Your Time For Success’, the blog mentions tips on how band should organize their time towards the things that will really move them forward such as marketing, engaging fans, networking and more. The blog entry can be read at the following link: https://www.apjonespublishing.com/blogs/news/band-3-tips-to-schedule-your-time-for-success 


Ponce
recently released his debut educational music business book ‘Don’t Forget The Business In The Music Business’ to enable up-and-coming bands to ascend the ladder of success, in his own words, it’s a “lean valuable quick simple guide.”.

The book is based on his band’s experience from playing his first show to six months later being invited to play a festival in Tokyo, Japan. The book is a great starting point for those interested in the business side of the music industry. Think of it as a quick business foundation musicians can use to get things going.

Ponce explains:

“I would have loved to have this information when our band started. There were so many unanswered questions that took years of searching and experience to learn. If this book had existed back then, we could have leaped over the fire instead of trying to walk through it! I know a lot of new and current bands stuck on the ‘what to do next?’ question will find value in the book’s contents. I hope this book is a tool musicians can use to help them get into a position to get to the next level and notice what we were able to do as an unknown band and that they can do it too!”

‘Don’t Forget The Business In The Music Business’ is now available both digitally and paperback on Amazon here and AP Jones Publishing here.

“Don’t Forget The Business In The Music Business is absolutely worth the time of any aspiring musician or music band. There are a numerous gems presented in the book which would be beneficial to anyone interested in pursuing a career in the music business.” – The Gateway

“He teaches a few different skills  throughout the book, which are typically things that bands focus on less, like budgeting, how to move to a different city, book shows and tours, run social media, marketing, selling music and building relationships…Biggest piece of advice Ponce offers is to focus on goals, have goals set and make sure everyone is on the same page.” – Edmonton Examiner

“The novel points bands towards the more ‘behind-the-scenes’ areas of the music business; the much less known side of the entire project” – Playlist Play

“Costumes, and accordian, and epic synths; Oh My!  If you like to ham it up with bands like Equilibrium, you’re in for a treat.  This is some full-on, honey baked metal that wavers between melodic death and folky, clean-sung tavern songs.  Windir-styled Neoclassical guitar harmonies one minute, grand larping tunage the next…an extravagent atmosphere…I want to throw on a kilt and swing a sword…Fav’s: Odin’s Fury, Mortal Supremacy, Promised Land” – Metal Trenches
