THIS GUN FOR HIRE Posts Vocal Playthrough ‘Infection’
Debut Album ‘Something A Little More Sinister’ Out March 31st
Vancouver’s THIS GUN FOR HIRE will be unleashing their upcoming debut album ‘Something A Little More Sinister’ due out March 31, 2017. Leading up to its release, the metalcore tycoons have posted a new vocal playthrough video with frontman Shelby Tanaka for their track ‘Infection’ at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOuXWpO2gvM.
The music video for ‘Infection’ can be watched at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yzmajgdyTk
Last week, they also unleashed their other single, ‘Good Evening Deacon’ with New Noise Mag at the following link: http://newnoisemagazine.com/premiere-gun-hire-good-evening-deacon/
‘Something A Little More Sinister’ was recorded with engineer and producer Roger Swan (K-OS, Battle Axe) to present their first clutch of original songs to showcase to the world. The twelve track album displays a keen awareness of pace and dynamics. Moving deftly from the seething chaos of the eponymous opener to the grandiose and melodic epic of ‘To The Fallen And The Faithful’, and back again for the staccato grunt of ‘Barn Burner’ to finish the record, THIS GUN FOR HIRE leave you in little doubt as to their capabilities.

Canadian horror inspired symphonic power metallers MALACODA (named after a demon from Dante’s ‘Divine Comedy’) unleashed their new six track EP ‘Ritualis Aeterna’ this past December. The EP is the follow up to their well-received 2014 self-titled debut album. Packed with dark atmosphere, originality and innovation, this is gothic power metal for the 21st century with intelligence and intensity to rival that of their infernal inspirations.
Teaming up with New Noise Mag, MALACODA are premiering a new video for their track ‘Linger Here’, which captures their behind the scenes time in studio recording ‘Ritualis Aeterna’.
Vocalist Lucas Di Mascio comments:
“The introspective video for Linger Here is a private look into the studio I (vocalist Luca Di Mascio) own (Old Haunt Recording Studio) where we write, rehearse and record all of our ideas.”
To view the video, please visit the following link: http://newnoisemagazine.com/video-premiere-malacoda-linger/
‘Ritualis Aterna’ is now available digitally on iTunes and on CD at MalacodaMetal.com plus can be heard in full stream at http://www.malacodametal.com/music.

Taking their name from a demon from Dante’s ‘Divine Comedy’, Malacoda’s dark gothic vision is indeed divine but no laughing matter.
As band leader Lucas, who studied Literature and Religion at University explains: ‘Malacoda was the name of a very minor character in the book, a fallen angel who flies around with a small army of demons torturing helpless souls in Hell. From a literary perspective, I found it interesting that he wasn’t merely an evil creature being tortured for his sins, but was given free reign to do what he pleases and takes it upon himself to torture other wicked souls in the spiritual prison that is Dante’s Inferno. I wanted a powerful name that fit not only the sound of the band but also the lyrical themes I touch upon. I wanted something dark, but not something that would be blatantly devilish sounding. The name translates roughly in Italian to ‘Cruel Tail’ and most people don’t see it and think “this band is named after a demon” and see it as something more romantic sounding.’
Like the ‘Inferno’ that inspired their name they forge metal without limits in sonic shapes endless and horrifying in equal measure. Malacoda’s music vision shares much in common with Dante’s, they are unafraid to gaze into the abyss, unafraid to be inspired by the myriad of human horrors within and without. They are not blind to the worlds within them waiting to be born.
Malacoda are about to follow their well-received self-titled debut with the horror-themed ‘Ritualis Aeterna’, which enters this world on December 2, 2016. Festive it most certainly isn’t, magnificent it certainly is. Full of dark atmosphere, originality and innovation, this is gothic power metal for the 21st century, intelligence and intensity to rival that of their infernal inspirations!
