Out Now! Vancouver, Canada’s Anarcheon has a “Scary Tale” to tell you on their new three-track EP. Delivering a creepy, but groovy vibe, their EP “Scary Tale” takes you through a vampiric journey into the dark side of Anarcheon. The EP tells the story of a woman transitioning into a blood-thirsty beast who obsessively desires her lady lover, but only to realize once she is turned, she is someone she never imagined she could be.
The EP has been in the works for a while and it’s lyrically very different from what Anarcheon have released in the past, but keeps that groovy instrumental element they have honed. These new songs are all horror-based and blood lustful, but with a twist of metaphorical magic.
“We are excited to showcase what we have been brewing up. With bassist Sylvain being our main writer, this has taken a turn in the direction we have always needed to go in. Get ready for some scrap metal! Kaija our vocalist and lyricist tends to write very emotionally and personally. A lot of writing in the past has been the struggle to find yourself with the ever-impending doom of meaninglessness and hopelessness. We are hoping to get everyone grooving and moshing, but also leave you with a sense of fright and uneasiness. Like ‘what’d this demonic gal just say?!'” adds the band.
One can as well take this EP as a metaphor for someone very lost in love and what is right and wrong. Those who could feel like they can be two different people once they have suffered a tragedy or heartbreak, which can result in self-loathing and guilt that could ruin someone and/or can be seen to protect themselves by turning off their consciousness hence feeling superhuman with no emotions to weigh you down.
Bassy, and groovy, Anarcheon is suitable for fans of Sepultura, The Agonist and Carcass.
“Scary Tale” is now available as of November 26th, 2021 on the following platforms: Anarcheon.bandcamp.com, Spotify, Apple Music.

Vancouver, Canada’s Anarcheon is putting out a new three-track EP “Scary Tale” this year, and the first single “Transyldrainia” is now out complete with a video. The hard-hitting song is a happy medium for the first release off the EP being the favourite of everyone in the band because “it just goes off”, they continue to detail the track:
“In this EP we flip the sequence and start with “Transyldrainia” We wrote this last but it really almost tells about the psychology of trying to make someone see the sheer pleasures of being immortal. The big question: Have you ever wondered, Have you ever dreamed, Of a life not bound by hours, Not life or death But somewhere in between? As humans, we are very fragile. This song suggests life can end at any moment so why not just come to the dark side where you will be free of the disease of death. It tells of how the person could be torn, but in the end, begs to be free with the coercion of this magical beast.”
Delivering a creepy but groovy vibe, the upcoming EP takes you through a vampiric journey into the dark side of Anarcheon. The new recording takes you through a transition of a woman to a blood-thirsty beast. She longs for her blood-thirsty lady lover only to realize once she is turned she is someone she never imagined she could be. The EP has been in the works for a while and it’s lyrically very different from what they have released in the past but keeps that groovy instrumental element they have honed. These new songs are all horror-based and blood lustful, but with a twist of metaphorical magic.

“The EP takes you through a transition of a woman to a blood-thirsty beast. She longs for her bloodthirsty lady lover only to realize once she is turned she is someone she never imagined she could be. Out for souls and feeling no remorse. Feeling godly and that these mortals should just be thankful to be graced with such exquisite beauty.

STORY ANGLES / FUN FACTS ABOUT THE BAND
1. Kaija – When I was first meeting Sylvain I asked him to meet me at a local pub. What I didn’t tell him was that it was a pub my cousin works at. I made sure we sat at the bar where she was working just in case she had to save me from a weirdo. HAHAHA. But of course, the meeting went amazing, we clicked right away and immediately wanted to work together. Later I found out it was actually Sylvains birthday, haha!
2. We track and produce all our new music with Matt Roach at Rain City Recorders.
3. Sylvain the bass player is the main writer for the band.
4. We are all pretty nerdy and funny. When we aren’t playing music you can catch us laughing our asses off at stupid stories we make up, doing karaoke, drinking hot sauce or playing Magic the Gathering in the jam house basement.

Track by Track Explained:
1. Scary Tale: “Scary Tale” is a story of a girl most likely from the 1600s. She is in love with a vampire that has seduced her through love and promises. When this vampire love of hers shows up she is greeted by two vampires. Thinking she is being betrayed she freezes. Her love reassures her she’s there to turn her and be together for eternity. Once she is turned she loses all sense of love and compassion and starts her murderous spree.
2. Vlad To The Bone: “Vlad To The Bone” is a tale of a sexual bloodlust between two vampires. She plays with her black swan for years, draining him little by little but grows impatient. She sires him and essentially makes him her bloodplay lover.
3. Transyldrania: “In this EP, we flip the sequence and start with “Transyldrania”, We wrote this last but it really almost tells about the psychology of trying to make someone see the sheer pleasures of being immortal. The big question :
Have you ever wondered
Have you ever dreamed
Of a life not bound by hours
Not life or death
But somewhere in between
As humans, we are very fragile. This song suggests life can end at any moment so why not just come to the dark side where you will be free of the disease of death. It tells of how the person could be torn but in the end, begs to be free with the coercion of this magical beast.

Vancouver, BC’s ANARCHEON was formed in 2015 and features vocalist Kaija Krimson, founder of Metalocalypstick Fest, the BC metal fest celebrating women in metal, along with guitarist Mike Watson, bassist Sylvain Maltais and drummer Mac White. With a band name playing off the word Anarchy, ANARCHEON is more of a Frankenstein of their various influences. Demonstrating shemonic screams, catchy riffs, and energetic heavy bass leads, the band has released an EP “Stratusfear” in 2017, two stand-alone singles in 2020 “Sir.Traline” and “Headless Horseman” along with a lone single to kick off 2021 with “Bloody Merry”.
Now, this coming Fall 2021, the band is ready to serve up their next recording “Scary Tale”, a story EP to take fans through a vampiric journey into the dark side of Anarcheon. Lyrically it’s very different from what Anarcheon has released in the past, but musically this EP is a maturing step forward for the band’s brand of grooving melodic death metal.
ANARCHEON has shared the stage with multiple bands from the Western Canadian metal scene and beyond such as Nervosa, The Agonist, Butcher Babies, and more.

Vancouver’s Anarcheon have unveiled a new stand-alone single “Bloody Merry”, which is our first look at the dark path the band is currently exploring. Multiple line-up changes over the past few years have put the band into an experimental phase, in which they are pushing their creative boundaries. One of the things that are setting Anarcheon apart is their bassist taking up main songwriter duties, leading to heavily groovy riffs with a focus on the bassy low end.
The new direction that “Bloody Merry” alludes to is also leading towards a new EP, slated for release later this year entitled “Scary Tale”. Both the single and the EP give off a creepy and groovy vibe, taking the listener through a vampiric journey into the dark side of Anarcheon. They explain further:
“Our single “Bloody Merry” is about the longing and aching for blood through seduction. Making people succumb to the seduction or be my next meal. Though this is a fairly newer song that we wrote we wanted to release it as a single before our EP came out. The song sets the tone for the EP “Scary Tale” nicely and prepares you with a little taste of crimson liquor.”
A little spooky, a little melodic, and completely creative, “Bloody Merry” is an excellent starting point for new fans to be enticed by the heavy, horror-themed, passionate metal that Anarcheon flaunts while current fans can enjoy the new, yet familiar direction the band is headed in.
Vampirism, harmonies, and emphasis on the low end are key for Anarcheon, who is recommended for fans of Sepultura, Carcass, and Thy Art Is Murder.
The single “Bloody Merry” can be heard first via its music video premiere on TheCirclePit‘s YouTube Channel – https://youtu.be/iL3AblI8DwA
Stream and download available as of March 5th on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music.

Shemonic Metal ANARCHEON Posts New Video “Etherous Claws” + New EP Out Now! “Stratusfear”
L-R = Bass – Sylvain Maltais, Guitar – Clayton Bach, Drums – Steve Richardo, Vocals – Kaija Kinney
Formed in 2015, ANARCHEON features vocalist Kaija Kinney, founder of Metalocalypstick Fest, the BC metal fest celebrating women in metal, along with guitarist Clayton Bach, bassist Sylvain Maltais and drummer Steve “Machine” Richardo (ex-Messiah, ex-Green Jellÿ). With a band name playing off the word Anarchy, ANARCHEON is more of a Frankenstein of their various influences with their powerhouse of shemonic screams, catchy riffs and energetic heavy bass leads. Stealing the hearts and souls of fans in the Vancouver area and beyond since their inception, the quartet recently unleashed their new EP “Stratusfear” this past October.
Their first music video “Etherous Claws” directed by Markham Samuels and produced by Whitelf Films tells the story of ANARCHEON using the power of heavy metal to summon an ancient vampire from her slumber.
“This is our first music video so of course we are super stoked about it. We wanted to have a bit of a back story on the song in a more poetic way rather than literal. Our good friend with Whitelf Films did an amazing job getting our vision onto screen and looking sharp!” says vocalist Kaija Kinney.
“And for those checking out our EP, it’s basically a coming together of all four members. We had so much fun writing these songs. All four of us have very different music tastes so it was very interesting coming together with such chemistry and creating something that we were all stoked about. We are already gearing up for a full album!”
