Out Now! New EP “Born Free” via King Metal Records


CroMagnum Current Line Up: L-R – Maximus Rex: Guitar, Vocals, Keyboards – Gino LaPosta: Bass

Montreal’s CroMagnum unleashed their second EP “Born Free” this past September. Coinciding with its release, band vocalist and guitarist Maximus Rex shared his written and drawn comic book “Bigg Baby: Tales From The Id” to go with the digital version of the EP. Today, he’s proud to present the third issue due out on December 2nd and is now available for pre-order as a limited run of only 75 copies.

”It’s a double-sized Christmas special, it tells two stories, and it also includes some extra ”Behind the scenes” kind of stuff…” adds Maximus Rex.

The comic book is offered in one of the three packages available below:
1. THE BIGG BABY: Issue 3 comic book…10$
2. THE BIGGER BABY: Issue 3 comic+ signed in silver ink…15$
3. THE BIGGEST BABY: Issue 3 comic+ signed in silver ink + personalized sketch… 20$
Shipping is an extra 3$ within Canada, and an extra 4$ for the United States.
Add issues one and two (5$ each) to really make it worth your while, with no extra shipping costs!!!

The comic book can be pre-ordered at Facebook.com/ThisSearchForAUserNameIsInfuriating and for those in Montreal, QC, it can be purchased at MGComics.ca (10035 avenue de Bruxelles, Suite 101).

The five tracks on CroMagnum‘s new EP “Born Free” take the listener on a range of musical journeys, from “End Your Slavery” encouraging you to get out of the doldrums and the despair of the prison you’ve let society put you in; to the true origin story as told in “Waterval Boven”; to the reflection of trust presented in “Congregation” with its fast and furious riffs that open up into an epic chorus. There is something for everyone on this release, as the creativity is endless, as shown in the band’s released music videos and comic books.

Music Videos:
Tunguska – https://youtu.be/e3hnTgjnmRQ
Born Free – https://youtu.be/FJVLL-D7LSE

Fans who are left wanting more shouldn’t have to wait too long, CroMagnum was originally going to record a full album, but after a slight bit of turbulence among the ranks, it was decided to focus on fewer songs. The next EP, targeted for 2022, is pretty much completely written and waiting to be recorded.

Power, thunder, blood, sweat and tears, CroMagnum offers nothing less than in your face balls-out metal.

“Born Free” is available via the band’s own label King Metal Records at CroMagnum1.Bandcamp.com, Spotify, and Apple Music.

About:

Born of the frosty bowels of Montreal, Quebec, Canada comes CroMagnum, heavy metal from a simpler time. Brutal and unforgiving. Thoughtful and visionary. A forced juxtaposition that leads to an intense listening experience.

CroMagnum started when Maximus Rex and the original drummer parted ways with their previous band with an aim to keep it simple, heavy as fuck and stay as a three-piece. Since then, CroMagnum has evolved into its current form as the main duo of Maximus Rex on guitar and vocals, Gino LaPosta on bass.

With two EPs under their belts, 2014’s self-titled initial release and now 2021’s “Born Free”, CroMagnum embodies the human race’s struggle to climb out of the primordial ooze toward its future ascension to godhood. Lyrical content flows from anger, frustration, history, politics, government corruption, legends, and philosophy, complete with soaring melodies and punishing riffs.

Mythology. Tradition. Evolution. The beginning. The end. CroMagnum.

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – September 16, 2021

Montreal’s CroMagnum Are Now Streaming Aggressively Melodic EP “Born Free”

Album Stream Premiere via Metal-Rules

New EP “Born Free” Out Sept 17th, 2021 via King Metal Records


CroMagnum Current Line Up: L-R – Maximus Rex: Guitar, Vocals, Keyboards – Gino LaPosta: Bass

“Born Free” is the second EP from CroMagnum, hailing from Montreal, Canada. Leading up to this release they have given us two singles that show two different angles of the band that has only been improving since their last album in 2014.

The five tracks on the EP take the listener on a range of musical journeys, from “End Your Slavery” encouraging you to get out of the doldrums and the despair of the prison you’ve let society put you in; to the true origin story as told in “Waterval Boven”; to the reflection of trust presented in “Congregation” with its fast and furious riffs that open up into an epic chorus. There is something for everyone on this release, as the creativity is endless, as shown in the music videos and the comic book. Maximus Rex explains his process in more detail:

“I come up with the basic structure of a song, usually 2-3 riffs, and then we start building it up and jamming it, making decisions about song structure along the way. Once we have a solid base, we’ll work out finer details like solos and harmonies. During that whole process, I start getting ideas for lyrics and melodies, which usually coalesce right around when the music is done. Any subject can make for good lyrics, so I don’t ever judge a theme, because if it inspires you to write, I think it will at least come off as authentic, no matter what you’re talking about.”

Fans who are left wanting more shouldn’t have to wait too long, CroMagnum was originally going to record a full album, but after a slight bit of turbulence among the ranks, it was decided to focus on fewer songs. The next EP, targeted for 2022, is pretty much completely written and waiting to be recorded.

Power, thunder, blood, sweat and tears, CroMagnum offers nothing less than in your face balls-out metal.

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – August 12, 2021

Montreal’s CroMagnum New Music Video For Title Track Off Upcoming EP “Born Free”

Video Premiere via BraveWords

New EP “Born Free” Out Sept 17th, 2021 via King Metal Records


CroMagnum Current Line Up: L-R – Maximus Rex: Guitar, Vocals, Keyboards – Gino LaPosta: Bass

CroMagnum’s “Born Free” is both the monolithic EP and its epic title track. Pleased to finally present the fruits of their labour, the Montreal band presents the title track as its next single in support of their upcoming release. They hope that both the music and its message move listeners to take action in their lives, pushing them to start taking control of their own destiny.

“Born Free” is a creed to live by and its core message is for people to have the absolute necessity to proactively exercise their rights, their liberties and their freedoms. Musically, CroMagnum presents a refined metal attack that is fast-paced and in your face, leaving you with absolutely no chance at being apathetic or indifferent. The band explains the imagery behind the track:

“The very heart of the here and now. That’s what you’re getting with ‘’Born Free’’. A blistering creed splashed in blood on the walls of your city. The wailing cries of the unwashed masses rising from the alleyway. A growing movement of resistance against the restrictions imposed by the unworthy. The beast grows hungry, and it’s time to feed.’’

Compared to their previous record, CroMagnum has become more melodic, adding in a second guitar that has allowed them to push some ideas further than they could with just a single guitar and some pedals. The sound of this EP should be familiar to the listener, but will definitely bring them to new, unexpected and refreshing places.

Fans of classic heavy metal and thrash should prime themselves to unleash the beast that is “Born Free”.

Listen to “Born Free” via its premiere on Bravewords HERE.

The full EP “Born Free” is out on September 17th, 2021 via the band’s own label King Metal Records.

Canada’s CroMagnum Come Ripping Out The Primordial Ooze With “Tunguska” Off Upcoming EP “Born Free”

New EP “Born Free” Out Sept 17th, 2021 via King Metal Records

 
CroMagnum Current Line Up: L-R – Maximus Rex: Guitar, Vocals, Keyboards – Gino LaPosta: Bass

Years in the making, Montreal’s CroMagnum recently released their first single with the music video “Tunguska” from their upcoming EP “Born Free”. According to the band, this EP is more involved than the last, with a second guitar and more refinement in the melody. The music video for the single shows that CroMagnum is bringing the same power riffage and dirt, as the band explains in their own words:

“The song “Tunguska” mirrors the blazing atmospheric entry of this song’s subject, the mysterious space object that fell to Earth in the northern tundra of Russia over a hundred years ago! Musically, an absolute monolithic blitzkrieg of searing riffs thrown at you at breakneck speed! No time to even take a breath!”

The five-track EP delivers thundering waves of primordial power and aims to give listeners a feeling of empowerment, an interesting variety of dynamics across the whole record, a few unexpected surprises, something original that stands out from other releases in the genre.

The musical production on the video was supplied by Alain Londero and it was filmed by one-woman film crew Maude Baillargeon. If the music video and the song aren’t enough for fans, Maximus Rex has also written and illustrated a comic book that shares a title with the EP.

All out pandemonium awaits! CroMagnum is recommended for fans of Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, and Judas Priest.

The video for “Tunguska” can be viewed on YouTube – https://youtu.be/e3hnTgjnmRQ

Single stream and download –  Spotify, Apple Music

The full EP “Born Free” is out on September 17th, 2021 via the band’s own label King Metal Records.

Publicist – Jon Asher – jon[@]ashermediarelations[.]com

EP Title: Born Free
Release Date: September 17, 2021
Label: King Metal Records
Distribution: King Metal Records

“A call to arms to exercise your freedom as assertively and aggressively as you can!!! Born Free is the soundtrack to a revolution in ideas and human thinking!!! It should pump you all the way up and encourage you to kick some ass, no matter what your goals, no matter what you choose to do!” – CroMagnum

Comic Book Order – Facebook.com/ThisSearchForAUserNameIsInfuriating

“From the opening intro “End Your Slavery” into the title track song “Born Free”, “Waterval Boven”, “Tunguska” and lastly “Congregation”. Every song has a powerful message, and that message is delivered with even more powerful heavy metal riffs. There is no messing around with CroMagnum. These guys are true musicians and it shows in this album, and live it shows even more.” – CGCM Radio/Podcast

“a short and sweet release which should definitely appeal to fans of thrash metal, US power metal and perhaps even traditional heavy metal.” – Metal Music Archives

“Instrumental opening “End Your Slavery” is the ideal tone setter for the EP bringing flavours of Spirit Adrift and Crowbar while cleansing the mind in preparation of the onslaught that you might not even see coming. The title track is a whirlwind of staccato riffs that come from the pre-Thrash era with a raw rhythmic power cut but melodic leads that float above them like a friendly ghost, adding a touch of quality to the otherwise driven attack.” – Metal Noise

“”Tunguska” is a beautiful thrash piece…” – The Pit of The Damned

“Canadian band CroMagnum are out with the EP “Born Free”, and this is a production for metal fans to take note of. The variety of the style explored here is a dark and dirty one, with chugging riffs, groove-oriented barrages and occasional more intense runs, blending elements from plain heavy metal, thrash metal and possibly also speed metal to into a tight and slightly grimy package. The kind of metal you would expect to hear played as the soundtrack in a greasy car mechanic shop or performed at a more run down club, complete with dark and raspy, aggressive lead vocals that fits the premises quite nicely indeed. ” – The Viking in The Wilderness

#10 – CroMagnum Self-Titled on Top Metal Albums of 2014 – CJLO 1690 AM (Montreal, QC)

‘’… the band looked like they had just come off a tour opening for Amon Amarth, or more likely, just finished chasing down hordes of orcs using their instruments as weapons. I’m inclined to believe the latter is one hundred percent accurate.’’ – BucketList Music Reviews

“For a night of heaviosity, catch the riff-tastic Cromagnum” – Cult MTL
