As Canada’s BornBroken prepares to unleash their latest album “Am I Invisible” on September 20, 2024, the band is giving death and thrash metal fans a first taste of their third full-length with a preview stream starting today on Decibel Magazine HERE.

BornBroken members reflect on the creative journey and the deep themes explored in their new work:

“We wanted to create something raw and real. Creating ‘Am I Invisible’ was an intense and rewarding process. This album is incredibly personal for all of us. We poured our hearts into every beat, every note. It’s a journey through our highs and lows.”

Musically, “Am I Invisible” allowed BornBroken to experiment with their roots in metal and its structures. They aimed to blend heavy, aggressive riffs with melodic elements to create a dynamic listening experience. From the relentless march of time in “Time Pays No Respect” to the existential questions in the title track, every song is a piece of their collective soul and they are proud of how the extreme music complements the powerful lyrics.

BornBroken is excited to share “Am I Invisible” with the world and invites everyone to experience the raw emotion and powerful messages encapsulated in their latest work. They are especially recommended for fans of Chimaira, Machine Head, and Slipknot.

“… the song (“How Strong You Are”) includes an anthemic and inspirational chorus, where the vocals rise into impassioned singing. But don’t expect music that feels like it’s seeing the world through rose-colored glasses. The music itself puts up with no excuses, but instead punches fast and damned hard. Backed by battering percussion and thundering basslines, the song includes fiery, writhing riffage and hard-slugging, high-howling hardcore fury. It does soar in the catchy chorus, but even there the vocals also rabidly snarl, and the band always return to pile-driving the listener’s neck, punctuated by some start-stop bursts of high-speed jackhammering and gruesomely growled words. On top of all that, the song includes a fluidly slithering and swirling guitar that itself spirals high, and a finale in which the vocals become truly harsh and scarring while the band inflict one last brute-force beating.” – NoCleanSinging

“”Am I Invisible” by BornBroken is a masterful exploration of the human experience. Its blend of aggressive metal with deeply personal themes creates an album that is both thought-provoking and sonically impressive.” – Din Intunerec

“BORNBROKEN, a name to remember which risks making a lot of noise with this monstrous and devastating new album from Neo Death Thrash groove with a little touch of subtlety.” – OdyMetal

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – September 18, 2024

Canadian Post-Metal ATOMIS Shares New Video “Awakening” Off “The Void Box Set” In Memory of Drummer’s Passing

Top Left: Taylor Johnson (Guitar), Top Right: Nathan Navetto Drums, Bottom Left: Matthew McLaughlin (Guitar/Vox/Keys), Bottom Right: Bryan Buss (Bass)

Releasing their “The Void Box Set” this past August that featured their complete discography to honour their late drummer Nathan Navetto, Calgary, Canada’s progressive post-metal act Atomis is sharing their latest video for the track “Awakening”.

The song is an epic over 14 minutes in length and featured on the band’s 2014 self-titled album. Although its placement is the 2nd track, the entire song carries you through the album like a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th track would, roaming up through hills, storms, and into the black of night. It’s down tuned to B, and even low as G# in the studio for certain parts, it gets as heavy as it gets beautiful.

Watch and listen to the video for “Awakening” at https://youtu.be/jb-TnZNrMXQ

Music Video “12 Chains” (directed by Doug Cook) at https://youtu.be/udWaS1o69UQ

Music Video “Maelstrom” – https://youtu.be/xYRM2gJZZT4

“The Void Box Set” is a complete collection that spans a decade ranging from a high production debut album of previously unheard music to an experimental version of the album – “Nathan’s version” – called “Welcome to the Void”, which includes a remix of the debut album, plus 8 bonus ambient/experimental tracks fully written by Nathan. Closing up the box set is a Live off the Floor demos album of songs Atomis performed live regularly from 2010-2014. These are the songs that the local scene would recognize and songs that sadly never made it to the studio. The band comments on the release:

“This collection is long-awaited and well-deserved. Due to a variety of circumstances, and after many false starts, and the passing of our drummer and bandleader Nathan Navetto in 2020, the album never came out. We still have fans of our first single ‘Maelstrom’ asking about “The Album”, so we’re pleased to now share the entirety of our catalog in the form of a box set. Some finished, some half-baked, and some completely raw and recorded with a single microphone inside a concrete jamspace.”

Atomis pulls from all aspects of inspiration, be it cinema, poetry, or nature, and tries to make an enveloping experience. The Void Box Set showcases the entirety of Atomis from the drawing board, to a polished album, but in reverse. It is recommended for fans of The Ocean, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and Radiohead.

Released on August 30th, 2024, “The Void Box Set” is available at https://atomismusic.bandcamp.com/

What the press has said about them:

“The Void Box Set’ is a tribute to ATOMIS‘ legacy and the creative vision of drummer Nathan Navetto, who passed away in 2020. This collection captures the band’s willingness to push the boundaries of post-rock and metal, blending crushing riffs with serene ambient soundscapes. ‘The Void Box Set’ is a must-have for fans of experimental metal and those seeking a profound musical journey through the void. 8/10” – Infrared Magazine

“The album of the same name “Atomis” with a running time of 38 minutes on just four songs, it’s very impressive. Here we find songs that are purely instrumental and not just suitable for sci-fi films. Let’s take it “12 Chains”, the opener With a very quickly recognizable sound structure, there are booming rhythms here that at the same time give the impression of stopping in one place. The drums still ensure further movement. With mystical tones, mixed with spherical elements, a thoroughly intoxicating track.” – Hellfire Magazin

“The songs are epic and can almost be described as soundscapes, as they incorporate everything from crushing metal riffs to peaceful ambient noise.” – Matt Petti, Beatroute Magazine

“Before the first viewing of the video, Canadian director and film-maker Doug Cook gave an introductory speech about the making of the video and working with Atomis. They created a video that perfectly complimented the band’s music and fans asked to watch it a second time (and then even a third time before the venue closed). Cook has been working with many Calgary metal bands lately, such as Divinity, Orphan Hammer and the Unravelling. He has also worked on some videos that may be a little more well known around the globe including “Breaking the Broken” by Control Denied, “Prolong the Agony” by Morta Skuld and the upcoming video for Death’s “Pull the Plug”.” – Evilg – Metal Sucks

Emerging from the depths of the Canadian West Coast metal scene, GraveMass is set to redefine extreme death metal and black metal with their fierce and unrelenting sound. Comprised of seasoned veterans from bands such as Zimmers Hole, West of Hell, The Golers, Punch Drunk, 3 Inches of Blood, Revocation, and more, GraveMass is a new force to be reckoned with in the Canadian metal landscape.

GraveMass embodies the essence of sonic brutality with their sinister riffs, bone-crushing rhythms, and unholy vocals. Drawing inspiration from legends like Slayer, Venom, Morbid Angel, Watain, and Napalm Death, the band’s music is a relentless onslaught of evil, guaranteed to leave a lasting impact on any listener. The members of GraveMass, with decades of experience between them, have united to create a sound that is both devastating and true to the roots of black metal.

The band’s debut music video “Slave to Pain” offers fans a glimpse into the raw power and intensity that defines GraveMass. The track, steeped in the tradition of early black metal and tape trading, addresses the harsh realities faced by followers of Abrahamic religions, portraying them as slaves to pain.

GraveMass is currently preparing to release their debut album later this year. The album, written by Mayan Hate and with lyrics by Lorde Heathen, promises to be a masterclass in extreme death metal, capturing the true spirit of Canadian black metal.

Prepare yourself for the extreme sonic assault of GraveMass – this is just the beginning.

New EP “Creation’s Call” Out Now!

Unveiling their monumental musical odyssey in their new EP “Creation’s Call” this past August, Denver’s fantasy power metal warriors Siege Perilous are sharing their latest lyric video for the recording’s closing track “Brothers of the Five”. The song is a massive, epic, with a triumphant sound that shows the brighter side of power metal. The lyrical story behind the track centers around a group of heroic knights who live their lives by five tenets: honor, integrity, resilience, willpower, and command.

Watch and listen to “Brothers of the Five” at https://youtu.be/g4zclFvUHk0

A culmination of years of storytelling and musical craftsmanship, Siege Perilous’ EP “Creation’s Call” will immerse power metal fans in a world of adventure and intrigue. With each soaring guitar solo and thunderous drumbeat, Siege Perilous invites fans to delve deeper into the realms of their imagination, where epic battles and ancient prophecies unfold. From the thunderous opening chords of “Oathsworn” to the triumphant crescendo of “Brothers of the Five”, the EP takes listeners on a journey through realms both ancient and mythical.

Drawing inspiration from LARP, historical events, and fantasy literature, Siege Perilous crafts a cinematic landscape that resonates with fans across the spectrum of metal and fantasy fandoms. They are highly recommended for fans of Alestorm, Manowar, and Iron Maiden.

Vocalist Shaughnessy McDaniel comments

“Our goal with ‘Creation’s Call’ is to present fans with an opportunity to escape the modern world and join us in the worlds of history and fantasy. For the more technically inclined, we have tight, complex arrangements and shredding solos that show off how incredibly talented my bandmates are and how fortunate I am to work with them. I like to think of this EP as a sampler platter of lyrical themes, musical ideas, and narrative storytelling that highlights what we are about in a very diverse array of 5 tracks.”

“Creation’s Call” was released on August 23, 2024, and is available digitally at https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/siegeperilous/creations-call-2 and CD at the band’s online store – https://siegemetal.com/store.

1. Oathsworn (3:13)
2. Across the Rubicon (3:42)

“It gives me great pleasure to tell you that Creation’s Call is a blast. Siege Perilous has succeeded in creating what I would call Epic Power Metal for the Working Man. They don’t waste your time with overlong symphonic interludes between tracks, melodramatic narration, or overproduction that tests the limits of your sanity. The band gets right to the point and pulls you into their epic tales of heroic daring immediately. This is a nice breath of fresh air and if this EP is anything to go by, Siege Perilous has a great future ahead of them. Yes, this could be considered power metal but the no-nonsense approach and urgency to the songwriting makes this release absolutely worth checking out for those of us in the NWOTHM scene. Plus, it’s really just a lot of fun. This one is highly recommended. THENWOTHM SCORE: 9/10” – The NWOTHM

“‘Creation’s Call’ never gets boring, even on Heavy Rotation. Five gifted musicians have succeeded in creating a varied EP. The twin guitar solos are convincing the whole time. It’s just a shame that it ends after twenty-one minutes. It makes you wish for a full-length album. And, of course, a thrilling live performance. 9.3/10” – Metalheads Forever Magazine

“solid power metal style that should satiate any LARP-attendees or Dungeons and Dragons mavens. Keep an eye on this quintet – wield thy sword as they lead the battle charge for more quality power metal from the states. 8/10” – Dead Rhetoric

“Denver metal mob reckon that their goal on “Creation’s Call” was to build a world and tell a story in “three to five minutes.” It’s a world of fantasy, as “Oathsworn” proves, where metal rules and swords are held high. “Across The Rubicon,” however, is delivered with such skill that you can’t resist getting sucked in with them. Shaughnessy McDaniel has a brilliant “metal” voice, roaring on “Sons Of The Verdant,” and guitar duo Scott Hancock and Cody Martinez can knock out a NWOBHM riff like it’s 1982, as the title song underlines. “Brothers Of Five” brings the epic one last time, galloping in proper fashion, and it’ll be interesting to see how Siege Perilous develops. This is one hell of an opening statement, mind you. 8.5/10” – Maximum Volume Music

“Creation’s Call not only highlights Siege Perilous’ dedication to epic storytelling but also emphasises their versatility within the power metal genre. With influences ranging from historical events to high fantasy, this EP offers a rich and varied auditory experience that will captivate fans. Prepare to embark on a grand journey through myth and history as Siege Perilous delivers their latest saga.” – Amplify The Noise

“Creation’s Call it is a cohesive and well-crafted work, where the combination of rich letters in history and fantasy, with a meticulous musical execution, it makes mandatory, regardless of its short duration. [82%]” – Via Nocturna
“Creation’s Call doesn’t get boring even in heavy rotation. Five gifted musicians have created a varied EP. The solos of the twin guitars are convincing across the board. It’s just a shame that it’s over after twenty-one minutes. You want a full-length album. And of course a sweaty live performance. 9.4/10” – Keep On Rocking

“Colorfully mixed NWOTHM/Epic Heavy/Power Metal elixir that appeals to a broad range of fans between ALESTORM, BATTLEROAR, ETERNAL CHAMPION, GATEKEEPER, IRON MAIDEN, RUNNING WILD and WRATHBLADE. Awakens a huge appetite for a full long-play album. On this EP you can clearly see that the band has enormous potential and has already given a great taste of their skills. Conclusion: Strong-looking genretobak that falls out of the usual range! 8,5/10” – FFM-Rock

““Oathsworn,” hits the guns from the get go, slamming through the turnstiles of time and building the great beyond.” – The Median Man

“America’s Siege Perilous release new EP CREATION’S CALL – 5 slabs of hard and heavy metal with a twist of power metal.” – Loud Enough Magazine

““Oathsworn” simply explodes out of the gate. The band ratchets every possible dial up to 11 and charges into battle with an epic statement of intent.” – Nine Circles

““Brothers Of The Five” offers classic power metal as you would appreciate it. The strain on the neck muscles is correspondingly high and in some places the number cannot deny a slight Maiden stable smell.” – Hellfire Magazin

Third Album “Shattered Elysium” Out Sept 27th, 2024 via Moribund Records

Canadian thrash metal Gods Triskelyon will be delivering stainless steel fury on their highly anticipated third album, “Shattered Elysium” this coming September 27th from Moribund Records to follow “Artificial Insanity,” (2023) and “Downfall” (2022).

In the lead-up to its release, Triskelyon is sharing their latest music video “Eternal Conflict” featuring guest vocals from Tiina Teal of Detente.

“Eternal Conflict is about us, humanity, as we live in a violent world engulfed in perpetual war and conflict. It highlights the devastation and despair caused by continuous warfare, with imagery of crumbling cities, blood-soaked grounds, and lives destroyed. The relentless nature of the violence is a cycle that perpetuates itself without end.” says band founder and guitarist Geoff Waye.

Founded in 2021 by guitarist Geoff Waye of the acclaimed true metal band Category VI, Triskelyon is again back to enthralling the metal world with “Shattered Elysium”. With this lethal third strike, Triskelyon’s band leader Geoff Waye once again drafted some of the finest emissaries of the Canadian metal scene. Enlisting the vocal talents of guests Amanda Kiernan (Into Eternity, The Order of Chaos), Eric Forrest (E-Force, ex-VoiVod), Tiina Teal (Détente), Amanda Jackman (Category VI), Armin Kamal (Infrared), Dale Drew (Sea Dogs), Fíochmhar (Artach), Des Mason and Pete Healey, this album detonates as a pure and true thrash metal masterpiece. The record features a unique style along with refreshing variations of thrashing classics! Traditional, yet intricate, drum duties are exceptionally executed by Raul Marques (Burning Torment), while Dwayne Pike, Keith Jackman (Category VI), Rick White, and Darrin Pope are conscripted on bass.

“Shattered Elysium” runs the gamut from pure 80’s thrash and speed metal to classic power metal, and traditional heavy metal, and even includes some brutal death-thrash. It attains an impressive new milestone in classic thrash metal, with far-reaching appeal across all heavy metal sub-genres. “Shattered Elysium” truly resurrects the glory days of the 1980s, while maintaining a fresh and modern sound!

In keeping with Triskelyon‘s tradition of closing their albums with an iconic cover, this release delivers a thunderous metal rendition of Duran Duran’s mega-hit “Hungry Like the Wolf.”

“It’s refreshing, for once, to discover a thrash band that aren’t geared towards utter devastation but, rather, crafting a record that an audience can simply put on and vibe to. With more than forty-five minutes to work with, the band still stuck to their guns and applied songwriting that saw every minute feel earned and needed for what their performance entailed.” – The Razor’s Edge

“Waye has shown he can write in any metal style and the guys he got together to perform are world class. The production is pretty big too so, if you like Megadeth, Agent Steel, Exodus, Overkill, etc. then there will be something on here that you like. Me? I liked it all! Hopefully, Canadian metal will be taken a bit more seriously with this release.” – My Global Mind

“classical Thrash Metal tracks and many 80s vibes.” – Metal-Temple

“Heavy, pounding, in-your-face, power metal-laced thrash” – Metal Crypt

“A who’s who of musicians in the Canadian Thrash scene! Riffs and soloing are nothing short of fantastic!” – MetalNoise

“Powerful at the right point but also epic, with sharp and anthemic vocal parts” MetalHead.it

“Power-Thrash equipped with murderous riffs on a technically first-class level with changeable exciting vocal variability.” – FFM-Rock

“Minimal filler and maximum melody!” – Heavy Music HQ

““Fallen” is a brutal, pummeling track with vocals that range from a guttural growl to a nasal screech, creating a blistering death metal assault. The black-and-white video with its flashing lights and quick cuts combines imagery of nature and religion in a way that perfectly complements the sonic onslaught of the video. It’s a breakneck track that leaves carnage in its wake, and you’ll want to check it out.” – New Noise Magazine

Canada’s progressive metal outfit Maitreya is set to release unique instrumental trumpet renditions of their tracks “Traveler” and “Still Motion”. These innovative releases showcase the band’s commitment to complex compositions and genre-bending tendencies. The releases give a nod to the band’s influences in the jazz-fusion realm, offering fans a fresh perspective on their intricate songwriting. They comment on the tracks:

“We’ve always been interested in exploring the intersections between different musical styles. These trumpet versions allow us to showcase the melodic intricacies of our compositions in a completely new light. Sometimes as a band, we ask ourselves if we are a metal band that plays jazz, or a jazz band that plays metal. These reiterated versions, featuring trumpeter Paul Callander, are representative of the bridging of these two worlds.”

These two singles are the last teases before the new EP “Auxesis” EP drops on October 11th, 2024. It offers listeners a glimpse into Maitreya‘s evolving sound and their commitment to musical exploration.

Formed in 2016 in Whitby, Ontario, Maitreya has quickly established themselves as a force in the progressive metal scene. Their sophomore album “Hyper Reels” (2021) solidified their reputation for creating music that is both beautiful and devastating, exploring themes of metaphysical reality and artificial intelligence.

From intricate rhythms to powerful breakdowns, Maitreya is redefining what progressive metal is. They are recommended for fans of Twelve Foot Ninja, Leprous, and Thank You Scientist.

“Just relaxing and enjoying a catchy riff is not an option with Maitreya anyway. If you like complex song structures and styles that are woven together without compromise, Maitreya is the right place for you.” – Musika

“We’re always on the hunt for interesting new metal bands, and Canada’s Maitreya certainly qualifies. The band’s newest single, “Catalyst”, treads familiar progressive metal territory – think vocals similar to Leprous and instrumentation akin to older BTBAM – but rest assured it sounds fresh.” – New Fury Media

“Heavy metallers Maitreya recognize the value of dreams with their new single and music video for “Bloom,” a rifftastic blast of progressive metal.” – V13

“What’s on the menu here is a wide range of flavours. There’s something to suit the taste of any serious metal fan. This relatively new band has some good ideas and knows how to execute them. Despite the current restrictions, these guys have plenty of time to bring the Maitreya brand to the fore.” – The Prog Space

“What we have here with Hyper Reels is a fresh take on both progressive metal and metalcore in general. Ten high-powered and heavy efforts that go in a myriad of unexpected and thrilling directions. If there’s one thing Maitreya do well on Hyper Reels, it is to keep you guessing all the time.” Games, Brrraaains & A Headbanging Life

“Ambitious and aggressive, Canada’s Maitreya break boundaries from the beginning with Departed. Heavy, contemporary metal chords are underscored by droning, chorusing vocals, but blink and you’ll miss them as Maitreya soon change direction to a growling verse pandemonium. Their riffing is adventurous and deadly, cutting through weighty, rolling rhythms and movements.” – Jace Media
