0 BLQ – Benevolent Like Quietus – ‘Kill The Bliss’ (Self-Released) – Uber Rock “Over the course of its 11 tracks, ‘Kill The Bliss’ delivers solid, traditional, old school goth rock, driven by deep, doomy bass lines and broiling guitar melodies, topped off by Daniel Louden’s rich, dense vocals, which lie somewhere between the aforementioned triptych of goth gods, the late Peter Steele and, if you can imagine it, Tomi ‘Mr Lordi’ Putaansuu… a highly accomplished album, one which inhabits the darkest corners of the most febrile of gothic minds, dark and dense yet exploding with energy and life, accomplished and mature and capable of standing alongside the dust-coated shoulders of the genre’s finest exponents.”

Calgary’s Benevolent Like Quietus are now streaming their debut album “Kill The Bliss”. The brooding quintet has been working on this album for quite some time and are very excited to show off the product of their hard work which includes everything from writing to recording and mastering.
The album gives a well-rounded introduction to the Canadian band, encompassing everything from heartbreak, death, depression, to religious criticism.
The band adds:
“Overall, the album has a tortured feel for sure. It’s brooding, depressive, dark, uneasy and often aggressive. Listening to it you can understand why we named it “Kill the Bliss”. It’s not all doom and gloom though. There are some positive moments as well. As a whole, the album encompasses everything from heartbreak, death, depression, to religious criticism. Pluses and minus.”

About:
Hailing from the cold, dark winter nights of Calgary, Canada; Benevolent Like Quietus brings forth a bounty of brooding, goth rock-influenced melodic metal. Laden with heavy riffs, catchy melodies and crushing breakdowns, the 5-piece metal act lyrically exploits the joy in sorrow and strife within life, love and death.
Dabbling in gloom, BLQ is a dark, musical metaphor for the sweet kiss of death. Collectively drawing influences from far and wide across the metal and rock spectrum BLQ has worked tirelessly to craft their own unique sound within the Canadian music scene.
Keen to revisit the era of 90s European goth/melancholic rock, BLQ is a heavy and brooding whirlwind of emotion and melody. Each song starts with Ryan Spencer (drums) who writes the music on guitar and together with Daniel Louden (vocals) put together the basic guitar and vocal structures before being worked through by the rest of the band, Ty Frederick (guitar), Killian Murphy (bass), and Matt Springer for the final breath of life.
Despite the melancholic lyrics and themes, Benevolent Like Quietus is straightforward and energetic music. No gimmicks, no BS, just 5 guys playing their hearts out and creating a moment.
Having the pleasure of sharing the stage with touring acts such as Katatonia, Wednesday 13, All Hail The Yeti, Final Drive, Caspian and Invidia along with being nominated in 2018 for Metal Recording of The Year by Calgary’s YYC Music Awards, BLQ continues to build on their live performances delivering a healthy dose of heavy, gloomy tunes to their audiences with no foreseeable end in sight. Their debut album “Kill The Bliss” is slated for release on March 13th, 2020.

“it is simply impossible not to walk away from Kill The Bliss without a huge smile on your usually stern-faced dial after close exposure to this album. It’s hard to imagine a better album of its type emerging from the gloaming this year, so why not leave me to my reveries and just hurry on and secure a copy as soon as you can. Satisfaction’s guaranteed, I promise.” – Sentinel Daily

Calgary’s Benevolent Like Quietus release their second single ‘The Rise and The Fall’ off the upcoming debut album “Kill The Bliss”. The brooding quintet has been working on this album for quite some time and are very excited to show off the product of their hard work which includes everything from writing to recording and mastering.
The album gives a well-rounded introduction to the Canadian band, encompassing everything from heartbreak, death, depression, to religious criticism. The second single starts with a modern goth rock feel right out of the gates. BLQ explains the track in further detail:
“Layered with a dynamic vocal melody and captivating, poetically descriptive lyrics describing a battle of mortal love and immortal life. The chorus is probably the catchiest on the album. It’s the perfect blend of rhythm, beat, vocal melody and a lead picking arpeggiated chords that give the chorus a lot of dynamic and depth.”
Listen to ‘The Rise and The Fall’ via its premiere on Metal-Rules HERE.
Also, check out their first single ‘Dawn of Rust’ here.
BLQ is recommended for fans of Type O Negative, Moonspell, Lacrimas Profundere and The 69 Eyes.
