Growing Indie Label TEST YOUR METAL RECORDS Seeking A&R Agents

Vancouver, BC based TEST YOUR METAL RECORDS (https://www.testyourmetalofficial.com) is actively searching Artist Relations (A&R) to build its team across North America.

“A&R are the first wave of creativity and the lifeblood of any record label.” said Mujeeb Basha, artist relations for USA-national.

Multiple positions will be filled geographically across North America, mostly the USA and metropolitan areas where heavy metal has a strong scene. This is an investment and business opportunity.

A&R focuses on the discovery; the nurturing and the development of musical talent, which helps define the creative identity of any record label. Ideal candidates will understand that the job can be a balancing act between the desires of the artist and the desires of the label. Ideal candidates will have professional skills such as human resources management, strong organizational skills, technical skills in recording music; communication skills, and project management are considered a bonus.

Inquiries may be directed in confidence via email to info@testyourmetalrecords.com.

TEST YOUR METAL RECORDS was founded in April 2015, by Grant Truesdell – a fellow musician and heavy metal advocate – out of the frustrations of seeing all of the underpaid and unsigned talent from all over the world not getting the recognition or help that they deserve. Realizing that there has to be a better way to help bands not just make a living, but to help them define a career for themselves.

0 Outlaws of The Sun – Woodhawk – Beyond The Sun

Woodhawk have a new album – Beyond The Sun – and it’s one that ticks all right boxes if you’re a serious fan of Stoner Rock. Taking influence from bands such as Kyuss, The Sword and Truckfighters. Woodhawk offer a refreshing style of Psych Stoner Metal with moments of Fuzz and Desert Rock that add extra grit to their music.

0 Cadaver Garden – Woodhawk: Beyond the Sun

Beyond the Sun is incredibly infectious and memorable and right from the get go, you know that you are in for a ride. Even if for whatever reason you are in a bad mood, this record will straighten that out in a hurry as it has you nodding your head and belting the lyrics out with the vocalist in no time….a release that is easy to listen to and get into but isn’t easy to put down by any means. Once you begin listening you have a hard time tearing yourself away from your speakers.

Vancouver’s NINJASPY, a trio of blood brothers that have created a metal fusion of hard, heavy, hook-laden music that runs the gamut of reggae, surf and more will be releasing their next full length ‘Spüken’ due out April 14, 2017. The album is once again produced by GGGarth Richardson (Rage Against the Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Mudvayne, Gallows) and Ben Kaplan (Biffy Clyro, Atreyu, Haste the Day) to follow NINJASPY‘s 2013 EP / graphic novel ‘No Kata’ and their 2007 debut ‘Pi Nature’. The crowd funded album that raised $15,000 for the band to record the new full length features a culmination of nearly a decade of songs that have been narrowed down to an epic 10 track experience to demonstrate all their downbeats to breakdowns to their weaving of reggae, hardcore, metal and much more.

Before ‘Spüken’ hits stereos and iPods around the world, NINJASPY has teamed up with PureGrainAudio.com for the premiere of their second single ‘Become Nothing’ at the following link: http://puregrainaudio.com/audio/ninjaspy-debut-new-track-become-nothing-from-spueken-out-april-14th-exclusive-premiereThe band’s first full single / music video ‘Speak’ off ‘Spüken’ can be watched at the following link below and can be downloaded from their online store, iTunes, CD Baby and Bandcamp.

0 The Punk Site – Gnash Rambler – S/T

Gnash Rambler‘s self titled full length is twelve tracks of straight up punk rock whose influences are worn firmly, and proudly, on their sleeves. Gnash Rambler have produced an album that is born of the early days of punk rock, and of the bands that came before, whilst this is an album that treads a well worn path it does so with a self assured swagger. For those with a preference for punk’s halcyon days, and the garage and rock bands from the 60’s and 70’s who were considered to be ‘proto punks’, then Gnash Rambler would be well worth investigating.
