EPK – Fall of Stasis – The Chronophagist (2022)

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

“We wanted our first album to bring something fresh to the metal scene. Each song was carefully written and fine-tuned to maintain the listener’s attention. We wanted the album to showcase every member’s musical influences without compromising the quality of our music. The result is a relentless, fast and aggressive yet melodic and symphonic opus with a different vibe and story for every track. Overall, each song blends well into the next one, yet they’re different enough to keep the listener involved for the duration of the album. We asked Christian Donaldson to record, mix and master our album since he’s easily one of the most respected and recognized metal producers in the province. Again, we didn’t want to cut corners and we made sure to partner with someone who would do justice to our music. Lyrically, the album showcases fictive storytelling from start to finish, although the lyrics often symbolize modern social issues along with some of the band members’ personal experiences.” – Fall of Stasis

“Musically the song (Baal Arise) is a brutal one that flies like a bat, discharging obliterating drum munitions, flurries of technically adept guitar work that generate sensations of jolting punishment, frenzied madness, and swirling exoticism. But it’s also overlaid with a symphonic layer that lends an air of menacing grandeur, as well as dancing keyboards that channel ebullience. The vocals combine voracious growls and vicious snarls — until they surprisingly change into singing in the song’s high-flying chorus.” – No Clean Singing

“There hasn’t been enough epic metal this week, so here’s the debut of Fall Of Stasis. There’s a lot going on with this band. You’re getting stuff that sounds like Abigail Williams, Cradle of Filth, Bleeding Through, and The Black Dahlia Murder. Then there is a light folk through-line as well. This band has just started, but I’m already excited for their future. ” – Metal Injection

“Drenched in a deluge of nuances, FALL OF STASIS are a truly genre-defying collective, ensuring the beating heart of this album is the band’s individualism and sincerity to their unique concepts and unflinching exploration of sound. “The Chronophagist” is enriched in an ingenious blend of diverse soundscapes, creating a captivating listen from beginning to end and a journey you wish could last a lifetime.” – Female Fronted Power

“The Chronophagist is a fascinating piece. One that will pull you forward with an unholy hunger for more.” – Rock Music Raider

“the first 10/10 of 2022 to these Canadian madmen and women for an album that is contemporary yet brings back memories of when Metal was at the height of its powers, and yet slays with as much ease as a tactical nuclear weapon.” – Ever Metal

“Overall, this album is unlike any other debut out there. It puts absolute chaos on the line and ensures each band member’s unique taste and abilities are available in full force. Take a listen and hear for yourself how this eccentric album puts forth one hell of a dynamic unmatched by any other.” – Metal Goddesses

“Fall Of Stasis complete a successful display of force on their debut, one which benefits massively from Christian Donaldson’s supportive production and mix. More of a name to be treasured by those attracted to innovation within the modern paradigm than those actually seeking outright novelty, The Chronophagist nonetheless ought to steal a fair bit of your time, as the title accurately promises.” – Metal Observer

“The moment I heard the first song I knew I was going to like this album as it sounded like something that you’d hear in the opening credits of a horror movie. After listening to the rest of this album I can easily say that this was one of the best albums that I’ve heard in a while – everything sounds so fresh and familiar and just super epic! Like the lyrics paint epic pictures of folk horror happenings and that was only helped by the neo-classical/folk-inspired melodies. Overall, it reminds me of the Scandinavian extreme metal albums of the late 90s coming from bands like Dimmu Borgir, and the early albums of Children of Bodom and Nightwish. I absolutely love this album and Fall of Stasis have most definitely gained themselves a new fan.” – Andrew Nasso – CFRU 93.3FM (Guelph, ON)

“Symphonic, brutal, unpredictable and loud they’ve made a melting pot of extremes only fitting for a Sith witch to stir creating bubbling brutality. So far they’ve played stages with The Agonist, Wolfheart and Beyond Creation among others.” – Covering The Scene

“The Chronophagist is restless and relentless, a bold and ambitious creative firestorm of an album that defies normal description, it will simultaneously freak you out and entertain with enthusiasm, it’s a rollercoaster high-speed assault with scant regard for weak-minded sensibilities. It may not settle for long but is an excellent gateway into their world of musical mayhem.” – Metal Roos

“With their frantic sound and otherworldly, playful yet dark ambiances, Fall Of Stasis is ready to drag you into a world where madness reigns.” – Maxime Pagé, Thorium Mag

“Ils y ont mis de l’attention, du temps, de l’imagination et de l’amour, ça c’est certain. Il est clair qu’il y a six cerveaux qui y participent, appartenant hors de tout doute à de brillants musiciens. Fall of Stasis, c’était un plaisir de vous écouter et on en veut encore! 9/10” – Ondes Chocs

“En conclusion, si vous aimez le mélange des genres musicaux, et que vous cherchez des artistes talentueux qui vont vous surprendre avec une musique de qualité qui sort du commun, vous allez trouver votre bonheur avec Fall of Stasis. Pour ma part, ce fut une découverte incroyable.” – Metal Alliance Mag

“C’est extrêmement rafraîchissant d’écouter une oeuvre qui est composée en groupe, avec tous les membres qui contribuent et donnent leurs avis. Rares sont les albums offrant une telle liberté d’expression. Si vous voulez vivre une écoute déstabilisante, où chaque piste est une expérience unique, n’hésitez pas! As-tu quelques minutes? Écoute ça!” – Ars Media QC

========================================

The album as a whole explained by the band:

Lyrically: The album showcases fictive storytelling from start to finish, although the lyrics often symbolize modern social issues along with some of the band members’ personal experiences.

Musically: This album is a melting pot of each band member’s musical tastes and influences, which makes for a pretty varied repertoire, ranging from smooth and melancholic ballads to aggressive and fast metal riffs. This gives us somewhat of an “apocalyptic” sound, something that is also reflected in most of the lyrics.

Track by Track explained:

1. Wilted Forests: A very symphonic, instrumental song that sets the tone for what’s to come by showcasing some of the musical themes of the album.

2. Fall of Stasis: This eponymous track describes an apocalyptic flood transcending both space and time. Musically the song starts with an eerie piano section which evolves into death metal riffs, followed by a soaring chorus. The final section of the song brings back the main riff and features the guitar and the piano trading solos back and forth.

3. Drunken Howl: This song tells the story of a murderous captain and details some of the most well-known torture methods used by pirates throughout history. Heavily influenced by Alestorm, this pirate metal piece starts off with an upbeat accordion riff that sets the tone for a classic folk metal song. The track ends with a guitar solo and a modulation of the main riff.

4. Baal Arise: This piece describes a demon’s awakening and his wish to enslave humanity. This is a short, fast-paced, “in-your-face” type of song that starts off with a brutal death metal riff followed by an epic chorus.

5. The Cult: This is about a pagan cult that heavily indulges in psychoactive substances. The song starts with a syncopated section followed by a folky yet intense main riff solidified by fast and sustained blast beats.

6. Twilight Carnival: This song tells the story of a carnival where tormented people end up reliving their worst memories and regrets. The song features a circus-themed chorus blended into a succession of acoustic guitar parts and brutal guitar riffs.

7. Baron: This epic tale is heavily inspired by our hometown’s most infamous alcoholic who would willingly partake in crazy antics in exchange for beer. This song is fast, eclectic, and features back-to-back riffs structured in an unconventional fashion.

8. The Last Waltz: This piece tells the story of a sorceress who takes advantage of lustful wanderers. This is a classic power-ballad type of song with an acoustic intro and melodic riffing followed by a smooth middle section. The song ends with a melodic-trashy riff and a fade-out solo.

9. Swarm of Casualties: This one is about two armies stuck in a time loop, doomed to be at war with each other until the end of time. This song has a strong melodic death metal influence starting off with an organ intro followed by a melodic section that abruptly turns into a thrash metal riff. The chorus features a catchy vocal hook that gives a very punk-ish vibe.

10. The Chronophagist: This is the final song of the album and it tells the story of a deity who has the power to steal time from mortal beings. The song starts off with a slightly modified version of Wilted Forests’s intro, followed by a heavy riff and an epic, vocally-charged chorus. The last chorus is cut short by an eclectic and odd-timed trashy riff followed by a black metal section. The song ends with an epic riff and a fading soaring guitar solo.

Fall Of Stasis, based in Montreal, Canada, was originally formed in 2014 with the intention of creating original music that couldn’t be defined by a specific genre. They started off with a very eclectic and progressive style, and as time went on, it was toned down in favour of musical cohesion and they added symphonic arrangements.

In 2017, the band released their demo and will be following it up in 2022 with the full-length “The Chronophagist”, which maneuvers closer to black metal but with definitive prog-heavy stylings. Working together on everything, there isn’t a single song where the creative input from a band member has not been blended into the mix. Fall of Stasis firmly believes that creative collaboration is one of their main strengths.

The current lineup of Fall of Stasis consists of Jessica Dupré (vocals), Gabriel Bernier (lead guitar/backing vocals), Tristan Bergeron-Boucher (rhythm guitar), Mathieu Groulx (bass), Sergei Lecours (drums) and Mélissa Bissonnette (keyboard). Each of the musicians brings a wide array of influences which results in a distinct sound, which caters to folk, black, progressive and death metal fans alike, but also to the uninitiated, thanks to their original and catchy melodies.

Symphonic yet brutal and often unpredictable, they present a mix of very powerful growls and clean vocals, along with good stage presence, efficient crowd work and tight musicianship. They have had the pleasure of sharing the stage with many notable local and international bands such as The Agonist, Wolfheart and Beyond Creation.

Live Band Line Up:
Jessica Dupré – Lead singer
Gabriel Bernier – Lead guitar/back vocals
Tristan Bergeron-Boucher – Rhythm guitar
Mathieu Groulx – Bass
Sergei Lecours – Drums
Mélissa Bissonnette – Keyboard
Viky Boyer – Feature vocalist

Shared Stage with:
Wolfheart, The Agonist, Beyond Creation, Obey the Brave, Seven Spires, Burning the Oppressor

=========================================

BAND STORY ANGLES / FUN FACTS:

1. Our singer’s ex-girlfriend once came to one of our shows and she bought a demo along with 2 tickets for an upcoming show. In a fit of jealousy, her girlfriend set our demo and tickets on fire the following day.

2. When the band was just starting out, we jammed in a small shed next to a chicken coop. Our gear was questionable, to say the least, and we had to use logs and rocks to keep the cymbal stands from falling mid-song. In the winter, the temperature could easily drop to -20 degrees celsius, so we had to start a fire in the woodstove and throw logs in every once in a while. Needless to say, this wasn’t great for our instruments.

3. Our lead guitarist Gabriel and our drummer Sergei met on MSN about 15 years ago, and their friendship solidified when Sergei started regularly selling weed to Gabriel right in front of the house, which never failed to make his mother angry.

4. At some point we were jamming in a residential area and one of the neighbours made a noise complaint. When they arrived, we couldn’t hear them knocking because we were busy butchering Are you dead Yet? by Children of Bodom, so they entered the house and found an ounce of weed sitting on the table (it was still illegal at the time). Fortunately for us, his roommate saw them and handled the situation without further incident.

5. A few years ago, we were playing at the first edition of a small festival called Farmfest in Vankleek Hill, Ontario. The attendance was pretty scarce, but we still had a lot of fun. We were camping there and it was getting pretty cold outside as the night fell, so we crammed into the van of a festival-goer. While we were having the time of our life, our bassist was busy conceiving his future daughter in the tent next to us.

“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.

One can as well take this EP as a metaphor for someone very lost in love and what is right and wrong. They often feel like they can be two different people once they have suffered a tragedy or heartbreak. Resulting in self-loathing and guilt that you ruined someone and can only protect yourself by turning off the consciousness hence feeling superhuman with no emotions to weigh you down.” – Anarcheon

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.

EPK – Burned In Effigy – Rex Mortem (2022)

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

“We are psyched to present our debut album, Rex Mortem, a catalog of the first chapter of the band. This has been in the works for a long time and we couldn’t be more pleased with how it has turned out. The songs vary in complexity and intensity and demonstrate our growth as a band since its inception. Listeners will hear influences such as The Black Dahlia Murder and The Human Abstract, combining our love for death metal and progressive/neo-classical metal. The vocals are gritty and tense and the lyrics emphasize this with dark tales inspired by mythology, history, and classic literature. Many of the songs follow the story of a tyrannical king aiming to expand his power and influence, who ends up being brought down by his closest allies. We believe our album has something for all metal fans, regardless of preferred subgenre.” – Matt Watkins (Bass) – Burned in Effigy

For fans of The Black Dahlia Murder, The Human Abstract, At the Gates, Between the Buried and Me, Arsis

BurnedInEffigy.bandcamp.com | Spotify

“One of the first strong albums of 2022… a very solid debut without much in the way of a bad track. While the band tends to stick to a basic formula and not overpopulate the tracks with clean vocals, keyboards, or guest vocals which tends to the be typical melodeath experience these days “Rex Mortem” is full of infectious riffs that will grab listeners and root them in place for the full ride. Definitely, a band to watch for in 2022. 4/5” – Brutalism

“On this album there’s a sound that was both impressive technically and a lot of fun. Sure, you’re getting technical guitar playing and sinister vocals, but when that neo-classical side of the band hits you can’t help but bounce or sway with the melodies.” – Metal Injection

“Burned In Effigy gild their aggressive, though catchy, melodic death metal with ornate neoclassical melodies that give their violent proceedings a distinctly regal tint.” – Invisible Oranges

““Treachery” is indeed an exuberantly intricate song that involves plenty of fleet-fingered fretwork and dynamic drumming, and it’s even more interesting because of the ways in which melodic motifs appear, change, and re-appear — and wind up getting stuck in the listener’s head in the midst of the neo-classical and progressive instrumental flourishes. Those melodies create sensations of frenzy, torment, and bleak desperation. And thanks to vocalist Mark “Smedy” Smedbron‘s incinerating snarls and screams, it’s a damned vicious song too (please resist the impulse to scream “Hail!” along with him unless you’re by yourself).” – No Clean Singing

“Burned In Effigy, a Neo-classical Melodic Death Metal band from Chicago, weave a sublime meld of classical and progressive elements into their tracks. The result makes their debut full length, Rex Mortem, a stunning and essential listen.” – Metal Talk

“This may be a self-released debut album from a young band, but the level of professionalism and genre fluency on display here is mind-blowing. Burned in Effigy have a killer melodeath sound, and I hope that they will take their neoclassical side even farther in the future. Its front-loaded nature may have kept me from giving Rex Mortem an elite score, but I think fans of aggressive melodeath and neoclassical metal alike will feel the burn.” – Angry Metal Guy

“This album is chock full of leads that earworm their way right into your head and won’t come out, and the moments that will bring you back for more listens are plentiful…If you’re looking for a talented new band that writes engaging songs and showcases a plethora of stylistic influences, look no further. Burned in Effigy are here to blow you away with their relentlessly catchy debut LP, and you can expect to dig it if you like quality metal, period. Rex Mortem, as far as I’m concerned, is this year’s Secrypts of the Egochasm by Vaelmyst: a tight powerhouse of a melodeath record that is likely to land the band a deserved swathe of new fans.” – Noob Heavy

“This record is straight to the point, brutally beautiful, effortlessly ruthless and an incredibly fun listen. ‘Doomsayer,’ ‘Artorias’ and ‘Nightfall’ consist of chunky riffs, solos galore, rapid drumming and frequently alternates between classic death metal growls and more black metal-esque shrieks… Despite being a self-released record, the level of production and professionalism from such a young band cannot be questioned and is absolutely mind-blowing. I completely vibed with this record and give it a solid 8/10.” – This Day In Metal

“The bombastic guitar soloing on “Vendetta” puts a showmanship quality on the spot… Rex Mortem does share qualities with other groups of this nature, such as The Black Dahlia Murder and The Human Abstract, but their superb musical ability keeps the album away from listless comparisons.” – Heavy Music Headquarters

“if you’re looking for that ultimate mix of savvy Tech and Melodic Death Metal high on a yet unknown number of energy drinks, Burned in Effigy is your band. Rex Mortem effortlessly latches on to the string of excellent Extreme Metal pieces of that ilk from 2021. This is just pure metal geekery, rough-hewn, harsh, and truly delicious.8/10” – Rock Music Raider

“Indeed so mature is the song writing here you keep pulling yourself up and uttering surprised little grunts on the continued recollection that this is Burned In Effigy’s debut album; If this is what they can come up with first up, the melodic death metal world would appear to be their oyster – If this style of music is your thing, get in on the ground floor while you still can and remember to tell them who sent you!” – Sentinel Daily

“BURNED IN EFFIGY is a great new band on the scene. “Rex Mortem” is an album that checks all my boxes. Melodic, violent yet pretty; hard edges framed by Victorian lace. And so, I would like to formally introduce you to this new and awesome band. Definitely check it out. If you’re anything like me, you’ll love it. 9/10” – Metal Temple

“Guitar fans will be salivating at what is on offer… Rex Mortem is a highly impressive debut from Burned In Effigy, my money would be on them being snapped up to a label sooner rather than later.” – Musipedia of Metal

“It is technically proficient, exuberant, flashy but not overly so, and features plenty of proper songs that are memorable and well thought out. ‘Rex Mortem’ isn’t the finished article by any means, but the signs are all there that Burned In Effigy might be a big name within the melodic death metal genre in years to come. I’m certainly looking forward to finding out – come join me!” – Man of Much Metal

“Exciting debut between Prog, Melodic Death Metal and modern Metalcore.” – PowerMetal.de

“Musicianship shines throughout; carefully controlled chaos, excellent melodic passages and a classical nature often draped in devastating fury culminating in a surprisingly remarkable flow helping to keep predictability at a minimum.” – Cult Metal Flix

“Burned in Effigy has the skills and a sound that will propel them upwards in both the techdeath and melodic death metal scenes. They’ll be one to watch closely” – The Progressive Subway

“I have to say that I was blown away by this album. The yet so simple mixture of melodic metal with dark doom metal, accompanied by “Smedy’s” voice, can be heard. I particularly like “Nightfall”, “Atlas” and “Vendetta”… Anyone who loves a myriad of solos and defining guitar riffs must have “Burned in Effigy” on their shelves. For this symphonic horror scenario, I give Hellfire 9 out of 10 points.” – Hellfire Magazin

“Burned in Effigy is composed of a lot of influences, and they are all gathered on Rex Mortem. However, the album stays really coherent, offering as many complex parts as hooking rhythmics.” – Acta Infernalis

“the highlight goes to the fantastic guitar work that manages to pull out memorable melodies and those that seem to be part of the common lexicon, especially for those who appreciate the neo-classical side. Add the caustic weight we’re used to in Black Dahlia Murder and we’re set for a great start to 2022. 8.5/10” – Word of Metal

========================================

The album as a whole explained by bassist Matt Watkins:

Lyrically, the album is the introduction of a tale of a tyrannical king’s rule and demise, including some other minor themes and stories from mythology and classic literature. Musically, the album is high-energy, but also diverse. It takes elements from multiple subgenres within metal, mainly melodic death metal and progressive metal, while infusing neoclassical elements into each track. No two tracks sound the same. We try to skillfully and tastefully change keys and time signatures throughout, so the feel of the music is constantly shifting but also smoothly flowing between each section.

Track by Track by Explained:

1. Doomsayer – Doomsayer is a fast-paced and technical introduction to the album. The guitar progressions alternate between tight and muted and open and harmonized, building to a crushing pre-chorus and open, melodic chorus. The lyrical themes deal with the world burning while a tyrannical king watches from on high with contempt.

2. Artorias – Artorias has the most emphasis on groove on the album. It has multiple movements, including a latin-influenced clean departure in the middle of the song. It starts with a syncopated riff that really comes together with the drums’ half-time groove, going into a verse section with a thundering double kick pattern. The middle section continues the groove between the bass and drums, and the final section builds into a climactic finale with a ripping guitar solo. Lyrically, it describes a doomed path for humanity with no chance of redemption.

3. Nightfall – Nightfall’s lyrics are based on the tales of Vladimir Dracula and Count Orlok (Nosferatu) and seek to illustrate the neoclassical themes in the song. Musically, it incorporates multiple clean sections that outline the main musical themes that then appear in the riffs, including fast-paced tremolo picking sections with blast beats.

4. The Empiricist – The Empiricist steadily builds emotional tension throughout the song and shifts keys multiple times, demonstrating the main theme in multiple different ways. The lyrics deal with the king’s closest advisor and right-hand man betraying him and destroying what the king had built. This song really benefited the most from vocals as opposed to its instrumental version, in our opinion.

5. Hades – Hades is the fastest song on the album and shifts between multiple time signatures rapidly, with a mid-tempo melodic chorus and solo section. Though the groove is constantly shifting, it transitions smoothly so it feels natural instead of jarring. The lyrics illustrate the king’s descent to the afterlife.

6. Atlas – Atlas is likely the most melodic song on the album, though it also has plenty of groove. It was originally called “Jupiter” on our first EP and now has proper production and includes vocals. The lyrical themes follow Atlas, who was cursed to bear the weight of the world on his shoulders.

7. Treachery – Treachery is the most melodically and harmonically complex song on the album. It expresses its themes in multiple keys and includes lots of counterpoint, including sections with 3-way counterpoints between the guitars and bass. The vocal chants throughout the song hammer home the lyrical themes of divine right and corruption. The king aims to present an image to his subjects as a just and noble ruler, while he plots to spread his treachery across the land.

8. Vendetta – Vendetta is one of the first songs written by the band and deserved a rendition for the album release. It has some speed/power metal influences and includes very lead-driven choruses and a climactic solo. The lyrics detail a murderous revenge upon one’s oppressors.

Burned in Effigy is a neoclassical melodic death metal band from Chicago, IL. Formed in late 2016 by founding members Brad Dose (guitar), Vito Belino (guitar), Eddie Dec (drums), and Matt Watkins (bass). Starting as an instrumental melodic metal band, the four were brought together by their love of complex, melodic, and heavy music and sought to bring more of that to the Chicago extreme music scene.

Burned in Effigy released their debut EP, Terrestrial, in April 2017. The band focused on playing shows after and building an audience through top-notch live performances while opening for prominent bands such as Scale the Summit, Angel Vivaldi, Oh, Sleeper, and Mushroomhead. While supporting this EP, Burned in Effigy worked with a couple of different vocalists and eventually recruited vocalist Mark “Smedy” Smedbron in December 2019 while in the early demo stages for their first full length.

Instrumental recordings for the band’s masterpiece, Rex Mortem, were finished in early 2020. Shortly after, the band parted ways with guitarist Brad Dose. Vocal recording, mixing, and mastering was finished in mid-2021, after which guitarist Vito Bellino left in order to focus on music school. Shortly after, the remaining three members Eddie Dec (drums), Matt Watkins (bass), and Mark “Smedy” Smedbron (vocals) rallied and recruited guitarists Mike Hisson and Steve Bacakos, who naturally fit with and complemented the band’s signature sound.

Fans can expect a diverse high-energy album. It takes elements from multiple subgenres within metal, mainly melodic death and progressive metal while infusing neoclassical elements into each track. No two tracks sound the same. The quintet skillfully and tastefully changes keys and time signatures throughout, so the feel of the music is constantly shifting, but also smoothly flowing between each section.

“Rex Mortem” is due out January 28, 2022.

BAND STORY ANGLES / FUN FACTS:

1. While the story of the tyrannical king was not planned from the start, it naturally arose during the vocal/lyrical writing process and felt it complimented the sounds of the songs on the album. It isn’t fully a concept album, but does include an ongoing story that we will definitely continue in future material. We don’t want to limit ourselves, so some songs may depart from the theme, but we can also expand the scope of the saga to include other stories from within the same universe.

2. Opening for Mushroomhead was unexpected for us, as we were asked by the promoter day-of to fill in since the previously scheduled opening band had to drop the show. We cleared our schedules and showed up to play, though as an instrumental progressive band at the time we were more than a little out of place. We still gave our best performance and a decent amount of people in the crowd were vibing to it, despite the audience expecting something more in line with the main industrial lineup. It ended up being a great experience.

3. The candles in the background of our video for Doomsayer were made by the band the night before the video shoot. We made them by hot-gluing assorted lengths of PVC pipe together, adding extra dribbles of glue, and painting over. The extra amount of hot glue gave them a melted candle look, and we just placed small tea lights on top to provide light. While it was a last-minute idea and kept many of us up until the early morning hours, they turned out looking really cool, and we plan on bringing some of them for our live setups in the future.

EPK – Caveat – Alchemy (2022)

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

“The creation of Alchemy has been one that has taken a few years to come to fruition, due to the stage & challenges of the modern world, but with that, we feel like the subject matter & music is more relevant than ever dealing with subjects such as addiction, the loss of a loved one, personal growth & even finding that light at the end of the tunnel.

Being the band is now going on two decades of making music together, Alchemy is the first album putting newest member Amanda Marie Bourdon on lead vocal duties. Amanda joined during the recording of Caveat’s last album Consummation showing a glimpse of her vocal potential with songs like Misunderstood & Seven Jackals. This time around Amanda steps into the limelight as the main vocalist, which still shares vocal duties with Greg Musgrave, but offering a new & fresh take on the Caveat sound taking the listener to uncharted territories that have turned out amazing.” – Caveat

For fans of Megadeth, Unleash The Archers, The Agonist, Meshuggah, Opeth, Cynic, Devin Townsend

Album Title: Alchemy
Release Date: February 11, 2022
Label: Self-Release

#8 on Canadian College Radio – National Loud Chart – For the Week Ending: Tuesday, March 29, 2022 (source: Earshot)

“I’d recommend the album (Alchemy) for fans of Meshuggah, Unleash The Archers, Opeth, Devin Townsend and the like, along with people who like an experimental, progressive feel to their music.” – Metal-Rules

“Track three ‘Infinite’ to me is the best song on the album. Fast and heavy, it really lets rip and is a contrast to what you’ve heard so far on the album. The song is about fear and how it motivates much of our lives. ‘Black Mirror’, inspired by an episode of the TV show of the same name, starts with an almost country and western feel before becoming a full-on rock song with lots of changing tempos and vocals. ‘Ghost’ is melodic and powerful, full of twists and turns from ballad to prog rock. It showcases the talents of both vocalists well with lyrics about overcoming your personal demons.” – Metal-Rules

“There is some stellar musicianship here from all members and the seven songs are well written and engaging. The highlight of Alchemy is definitely the lead vocals of Amanda Marie Bourdon, who has a simply excellent voice… Alchemy is definitely worth adding to your collection. 4/5” – Heavy Music Headquarters

Alchemy opens with “Silver,” a relentless sonic assault of massive riffage that showcases Amanda Marie Bourdon’s powerful vocals with guitarist Greg Musgrave’s vicious growls. His gruffness injects several songs here, as do Bourdon’s keyboards. At times, she sings like a pissed-off Pat Benatar, and the rest of this quintet—Joe Sikorski on guitars, Matt Petti on bass and Casey Rogers on drums — matches her fury… this is an engaging listen for metal fans who don’t mind straying beyond the genre’s increasingly blurry lines.” – Shepherd Express (Milwaukee Weekly)

“they are more like a Dream-Theater-on-steroids or like Rush-gone-mad form of prog. ” – Metal Bulletin

“This is classic Melodic Death Metal, but different than the forefathers we all know. The harmonized clean vocals bring that element of temperance to the album, while the harsh vocals keep things rough and dark. A clean female singer and a harsh male singer have surely been done before many times, but I really like the interaction between these two. As a seasoned band, they have experience with songwriting, yet their sound isn’t old and tired. Indeed, it is energetic and infused with passion, and the bass work is fantastic…an instrument that often gets lost in the Metal genre. This was a nice surprise for me.” – Metal Temple

“On their new album CAVEAT offer seven songs, diverse in their compositions. While the guitars come up with dark, hard-hitting riffs as well as beautiful melodic parts, the mostly powerful, complex rhythmic brings in a great dynamic. By alternating between the different expressions of two strong singers, they lay all kinds of emotions into their music… All-together, “Alchemy” is an amazing listen, recommended for fans of genre-bending music. ” – Mostl Metal

“this album’s claim to take an experimental route is justified. With elements of many Metal subgenres flowing in their songwriting veins, it’s hard to stick Caveat into one category… Nevertheless, Caveat brings strength, and wonder to the Metal scene and has given us only a glimpse of what is to come.” – Metal Godesses

“A production that should be most satisfying for many fans of progressive metal, and perhaps a bit more for those who approach this style of metal from the metal rather than the progressive rock direction at that.” – Progressor

“I should say something about the musicianship. Frankly, it’s first-rate. I’ll start with bassist Matt Petti, who plays a major part in the band’s sound. If you want an excellent example of his virtuosity, listen to the first fifteen seconds or so of Black Mirror (yes, the song is based on an episode of that TV show). His fluidity and, in this case, almost funky tone proves him to be a bassist of the first rank. Then there are guitarists Greg Musgrave and Joe Sikorski. Versatile is the word to start with when describing their work. Check out closing song Zero Hour to hear the pleasing (to my ears, at least!) combination of crunch and melody that these two achieve. Silver, on the other hand, will blow you away with the virtuosic near-blast-beat playing of drummer Casey Rogers. Finally, Until Dawn is probably the best place to find the most effective blending of the two vocalists’ voices. I believe that Bourdon will become a truly essential part of the band if more use is made of her voice to complement that of Musgrave. On songs like this one, while one can hear, yes, Opeth and Cynic somewhere in the background, Caveat really comes into its own. This is a well-written, well-produced, engaging, and promising album. ” -Dprp.net

“Violent passages, a heavy metal opera space approach, and everything in an incredibly perfect osmosis, and for almost 50 minutes. This innovative breath is once again coming from Canada, a country where the number of talented groups blush many countries. “Alchemy” is a must-have album and brings something to music. We’re rocking the genius! A true musical experience and what a singer! Awesome” – La Legion Underground Webzine

“Caveat releases a heavy, melodic, harmonic, hard album, full of interesting beats, very well done and short riffs and sharp solos, an elegant and structured production, high and strong chords, more than anything with serious sounds, combining metal styles – progressive rock and death metal which have a bit of faster and groove metal oriented sounds like in Alchemy and Infinite, an album full of energy, clean, heavy and hard, with a technical and rhythmic metal with precise drums and guitars as well than keyboards, at no time does it move away from one another. The combination of 3 voices makes it interesting, clean male and clean female voices that give it light and harmony, with a clean and high register, and the heaviness is given by the part of the guttural voice that appears at times. 9/10” – Darzen Metal Angels

“Thrashing riffs and funk-infused bass grooves melded with aggresive metal death growls and three-part vocal harmonies are just a few of the guilty pleasures on Caveat’s Red… The 53-minute musical journey leaves a crushing inferno of melodic sound in its wake through skilfully executed guitar riffs winding passages that never talk down or leave the listener behind and haunting balledesque moments that you wouldn’t expect to find on a metal album but feel right at home here with Caveat.” – The YYScene

“Caveat focused on music over visuals and blasted through a no-frills set featuring their unique and feverish style of prog metal.” – Metal Master Kingdom (Live Review – Wacken metal Battle Canada 2019 – Calgary Final)

#9 on Top 10 – Caveat – Self-Titled – Canadian National Loud Chart – For the Week Ending: Tuesday, December 20, 2005

“Vindication” is a masterpiece. All the right sounds, rhythm’s phenomenal guitars and great lyrics with plenty of meaning” – Prog Archives

“Within This Weakness”…a brilliant finale to this adventurous, untamed album called “RED”. This is “Caveat” and progressive metal at its finest.” – Prog Archives

========================================

BAND STORY ANGLES / FUN FACTS:

1. Caveat was one of two bands ever signed to Scarab Metal Productions management company, headed by Terese Fleming who later went on to become one of the leading metal festival organizers in Western Canada from 2005 – 2015. Caveat released our self-titled EP on Scarab Productions in 2005

Three of the five members of Caveat (Casey, Joe & Greg) simultaneously played in Alberta death-grind band Exit Strategy, from 2005 – 2017, which are largely considered one of the most influential death metal bands to ever come out of Alberta & also went on to perform in the Canadian Wacken Battle finals in Toronto in 2014.

6. Vocalist / keyboardist Amanda Marie Bourdon also plays bass & sings in Calgary band Greybeard along with drummer Casey Rogers. Matt Petti also plays bass in the instrumental progressive metal band Illuminated Minerva.

===================================================

The album as a whole:

This album has an almost soundtrack vibe to it, which really separates it from anything that we’ve done in the past. The lyrics are both dark & light with switches in feeling & mood ever-changing throughout the album.

Track by Track:

Silver: One of the more melodic songs on the album with catchy hooks, verses & an infectious chorus that touches on the silver lining of your actions & how they create the foundation for one’s existence.

Alchemy: One of the more proggier songs on the album, this song really showcases Amanda’s powerhouse voice as well as Matt’s incredible bass performance. This song deals with addiction & how we are in search of the magic elixir (in so many cases alcohol) that will make us a perceived better version of ourselves, which in almost every case turns out to be the opposite.

Infinite: This was the first song written for this album & is by far the heaviest song on the album with an almost Gojira feel at times. The lyrics explore peeling away & coming to terms with our own fears & how fear motivates so much of our human lives, with lines like “We feed upon the will of what grows in shadows”.

Black Mirror: One of the more experimental songs on the album, this song was written, inspired & lyrically based on the Black Mirror episode called White Christmas, which is based on the idea of imprisoning the human mind with modern technology & basically playing God. Dark stuff.

Ghost: This was the last song that was written for this album & is probably the best indication of what is to come for future Caveat music. This is probably the most progressive song on the album, with twist & turns galore. The lyrics deal with trying to overcome your personal demons that keep pulling you down the rabbit hole into depression & personal turmoil. Kind of like a ghost that haunts you that no one else can see or feel but you

Until Dawn: The music for this song was written by Casey & was an exploration of the idea of writing an epically big Devin Townsend type song with huge chords, massive vocals & a positive message about finally finding someone that truly connects with you & takes you from the dark to the light so to speak. Lyrically this song was written about Greg’s family & the positive impact that his wife & kids have had on his life. Super metal I know…

Zero Hour: Probably the most melodic song on the album, this was one of the last songs written for the album & really focuses on Amanda’s incredible voice & creating huge hooks with soaring melodies throughout the song. Lyrically this song was written around the time that Greg’s mother was dealing with dementia throughout the last month of her life before eventually passing away peacefully Very personal & introspective lyrics make this one very near & dear to the band; Greg & Amanda in particular who both went through losing their mothers during the making of this album.

Caveat was formed in mid-2001 by founding members Greg Musgrave on guitar and vocals, Jawad Baloch on drums & Terry Baldwin on bass & backing vocals. Shortly afterward Casey Rogers was asked to join as the new drummer of Caveat. This lineup would go on to record and release the debut album ‘The Biggest Secret’, which they released on May 14th of 2003.

After supporting the album, Caveat decided to expand and recruited Joe Sikorski in 2004 to the second guitar, who had been playing with Thorazine since the mid-’90s.

During 2005 Caveat partnered up with Scarab Productions to record and release a self-titled EP, which ended up landing on numerous campus radio charts and found the band playing larger shows than ever before. After parting ways with Scarab Production in late 2006, the sound of the band evolved yet again, writing more progressive and technical sounding songs, resulting in their 2007 magnum opus full-length album entitled ‘Red’.

To release ‘Red’ Caveat partnered up with Toronto-based indie record label Cyclone Records. To the band’s delight, ‘Red’ was very well received in the metal community and the band played more than ever in & around Western Canada.

Just prior to the release of ‘Red’ several members would branch off and form the deathgrind side project Exit Strategy with Shane Hawco (ex-Thorazine). Exit Strategy quickly became popular in the Western Canadian extreme metal scene. In 2008, after a successful several-year run, Caveat would elect to go into indefinite hiatus to focus on Exit Strategy.

Five years later saw the brief reformation of the band when Calgary Metalfest organizer ‘Big’ Nate Reno asked Caveat to reform to play the inaugural festival in the summer of 2013, and the band obliged. Original bassist Terry Baldwin elected to not be involved with the reunion show, so Caveat turned to former Verbal Deception and current Illuminated Minerva bass player Matt Petti to handle bass duties for the Metalfest performance. After that short hiatus, the band officially reformed at the end of 2014 with Matt Petti replacing Terry Baldwin permanently on bass duties.

Songwriting began for a new album while playing a handful of shows and several metal festivals across western Canada. Recording began in May 2015 and the new album entitled ‘Consummation’ was released on June 24th, 2016. ‘Consummation’ was also a moment of further evolution of Caveat, as local musician Amanda Marie Bourden was asked to join the band as keyboard player and second lead vocalist. Amanda accepted the invitation, and her powerful vocals were featured throughout ‘Consummation’ providing a great contrast to Greg’s clean & brutal vocal attack.

In 2017 and 2018, writing commenced for the album and would feature new vocalist Amanda as more of the primary voice in the new material. This culminated into the most diverse ambitious collection of songs to date. Then in late 2019, recording began for the new album with both Joe and Casey handling main production duties this time. Production was completed in late 2020, but due to the Covid pandemic-related shutdowns, the band decided to shelve its release for the duration of 2021 as a result.

Now Caveat’s delayed fifth album, entitled ‘Alchemy’, is for release in early 2022, and once again Caveat promises to deliver a majestic metallic assault on the senses. Stay tuned and expect the unexpected.

EPK – Thunderor – Fire It Up (2022)

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

“I think we’ve created a truly original album with Fire It Up. It was a blast writing these songs and putting my personality into the lyrics for the first time. We’re proud to have done all of the tracking ourselves (it was a learning experience!) and to have done things the old-school way without any quantized drums or pitch correction. I think the result is a more natural-sounding recording, which gives a better human connection and allows the songs to shine through with the real attitude. The songs on the album are meant to inspire a life journey – an adventure with friends, motorcycles, romance, danger, and victory. I hope it will be a soundtrack for your adventures.” – JJ Tartaglia – Thunderor

Track by Track Explained:

1. Fire It Up: Up-tempo track with 2 different choruses, massive hooks and melody. The lyrics are about motorcycle riding, romance, and escape.

2. How We Roll: Groovy, catchy song, reminiscent of Twisted Sister, Slade. The lyrics are about motorcycle riding, friends, and not wanting to go home.

4. Dangerous Times: Catchy 80s style piano-driven song, reminiscent of Toto, Journey, with a massive synth middle section. The lyrics are about romance and love.

5. Thunderor: Up-beat fun heavy metal song similar to the style of Skull Fist, some Pennywise influence, harmonized guitar solos and mini drum solo. The lyrics are about pulling up on a motorcycle and other guy’s girlfriends wanting you.

6. On the Run: Driving mid-tempo song, reminiscent of 80s Ozzy Osbourne. The lyrics are about being on a mission, romance, danger, and double cross.

7. Into the Storm: Guitar & synth instrumental, reminiscent of Yngwie Malmsteem.

THUNDEROR is an 80’s-infused heavy metal band formed in 2020. Featuring a lead-singing drummer and an all-star lineup, the Canadian power trio delivers hook-driven stadium caliber songs with an untamed spirit.

Since 2019, drummer JJ Tartaglia had felt a calling, one which grew stronger each day. Being a member of several prominent metal bands over the last decade (most notably Skull Fist) and having essentially served as a disciple of heavy metal for many years, the time had come to take his quest even further. A new course was being charted for his musical mission. He would share a vision, a feeling… a message he could deliver only with his own voice.

Fueled by his passion for adventure, JJ began to work on drum arrangements and piano pieces that would become the skeletons of the Thunderor songs.

In 2020, with the addition of ex-Skull Fist bandmate Jonny Nesta on guitars, combined with JJ also composing on keys and vocals, songwriting began in full force and quickly yielded an album’s worth of material. Close friend and monster player Oscar Rangel (ex-Annihilator) was then called upon to do bass and the line-up was complete. Thunderous drums, lightning hot guitar licks, dreamy synths, and piercing vocals would form the musical storm that is THUNDEROR.

The band would spend the next year self-recording the album, priding themselves on recording the natural way, producing an energetic record with a strong human connection. Fall of 2021 would see the release of the 1st single HOW WE ROLL, immediately garnering a worldwide audience. The debut album FIRE IT UP is set for an early 2022 release backed by an European tour.

If you’ve ever felt a longing for escape, a thirst for adventure, wrapped in romance and danger, well what are you waiting for? Get after it and let THUNDEROR be your soundtrack!

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

For fans of Morbid Angel, Immolation, Suffocation, Aborted, Blood Incantation, John Williams

EP Title: Kyr’am Beskar
Release Date: January 14, 2022
Label: SBDC Records (Slamming Brutal Death Community)
Distribution: DIY Digital

“Kyr’am Beskar (Mandalorian for “Death Metal”) is 4 grinding tracks of crushing death metal inspired by the Dark Side! Each song is a gruesome tome from the Canon Arcane, serving shredding riffs, ripping thrash solos, epic overtures, and inhuman drums!” – Ecryptus

Ecryptus.bandcamp.com | Fremendeathcommandorecords.limitedrun.com | Spotify | Amazon

“Over this EP’s four track Ecryptus created death metal about lightsaber death, dying in a sarlacc pit, and more.” – Metal Injection

“it’s such an adrenaline-fueled shock-and-awe campaign, one that’s technically eye-popping, eerie and evil, and terrifically obliterating.” – No Clean Singing

“Crushing display of death metal, Ecryptus delivers…” – The Razor’s Edge

“the performances here are razor sharp and these tracks have proven to be fun and crushing in equal capacity. 8/10 ” – Metal Trenches

“The universe of Ecryptus is as thick as a bantha and as sharp as a lightsaber. With Kyr’am Beskar, the group shows us that it is always present and ready to take up arms to keep its place in the scene. 8/10” – Acta Infernalis

“Planetary Enslavement is possibly my favourite song on this release. It shows a degree of technicality and proficiency that is a little too uncommon. It’s exceptionally precise in its musicianship and understands that just because you go fast doesn’t make you good. This however is both fast and excellent. 8/10” – Rock Out Stand Out

“Ecryptus brings us gurglegrind riff salad ” DeathMetal.org

“Kyr’am Beskar is a more than good EP for fans of complex music. I really don’t know why they are not in a big label with good distribution to the deathbangers. And after all of that I’ve just realized there is a baby yoda burning in cover art. What the actual fuck? 10/10” Dark Souls United

“Live, the group takes the stage sporting sith-corpse paint, robes, armor, Dragoncon-acquired lightsabers, and their friend Scara Slayfield wearing her best “Hutt Slayer” Princess Leia outfit, serving drinks to the stage, and adorning the monitors.” – Rad ATL

““Rancorous” opens with a mighty roar before a spiraling assault of blast beats and demonic incantations rise over searing guitar leads that burn with the heat of Vader’s red lightsaber.” – Rad ATL

Ecryptus are an elite group of assassins from Korriban, now based in Atlanta, Georgia. We dispense galactic death metal inspired by the Dark Side and brutal tales of the Canon Arcane.

=====================================================

The EP as a whole:

Kyr’am Beskar features 4 grinding tracks of crushing death metal inspired by the Dark Side! Each song is a gruesome tome from the Canon Arcane, serving shredding riffs, ripping thrash solos, epic overtures, and inhuman drums!

Track by Track Explained:

1. Cauterized Saber Wound Massacre – Grinding out the macabre scene of an entire field of bodies, cleaved effortlessly by a maniac wielding a laser sword.

2. Planetary Enslavement – The morose tale of an entire species being forced into slavery under the rule of an invading empire. The track chugs into a furious battle, a bitter and tragic loss of life.

3. Compulsion to Disintegrate – A lightning-fast barn burner, rife with gravity blasts and all the shred! Follow a Mandalorian bounty hunter on a ride through the galaxy to collect undead trophies!

4. Digested Over a Thousand Years – This track invokes the doom, dread, and insanity of being slowly digested, regenerated, and digested again over the course of a millennium. The song begins a doom-laden funeral overture, then blasts into a movement of insanity before slowly fading into oppressive doom.

======================================

BAND STORY ANGLES / FUN FACTS:

1. Ecryptus hail from planet Korriban, now stranded on Earth in Atlanta, Georgia.
2. Ecryptus dispense galactic death metal inspired by the Dark Side and brutal tales of the Canon Arcane.
3. Danny Ryann was in Gigan – whose members were in Hate Eternal – that was created by Erik Rutan – Who was in Morbid Angel. Ecryptus is less than 3 degrees of separation for one of their most influential bands.

EPK – Hammerdrone – A Trinity of Rage (EP) (2021)

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

“As once aggressively heavy and hauntingly melodic, the EP incorporates a variety of black and progressive metal influences to present an EP that both pushes the boundaries and embraces the roots of our old-school, melodic death metal origins. We deliberately eschew clean singing as a dilution of the heavy intensity that we try to create with our music, so we have been described as ‘death metal that happens to be melodic’, rather than the ‘melodeath’ that many bands describe themselves as. Lyrically, this is a concept EP that tells a tale in a traditional trilogy form – the rise of the hero against a force of evil; the struggle of that hero against his own doubts and the rising power of the evil that threatens to crush him; and the hero’s final, bittersweet triumph.” – Hammerdrone

For Fans of Be’lakor, Carcass, Amon Amarth, Rotting Christ, Kataklysm

“”… here with Dark Harvest confirming itself as a heavy hitter, no doubt. Check out the title track for a killer example of intense melodic death paired with catchy songwriting” – Greg Pratt, Bravewords (CAN) 8/10 – Dark Harvest review

“”There’s no substitute for good songwriting, and Hammerdrone have that concept well in mind. If you are looking for a new death metal band to seek out, Hammerdrone is a great starting point.” – Kyle McGinn, Dead Rhetoric (USA) 7.5/10 – Dark Harvest review

“‘Dark Harvest’ is a triumph of Old School Death Metal and what all the other bands should be striving to match.” Nik Cameron, Glacially Musical (USA) – Dark Harvest review

“Imagine a cross between Dark Tranquility in ‘The Gallery’ stage with Rotting Christ in the ‘Dead Poem’ phase and Tiamat in the ‘Wildhoney’ phase, without forgetting Sentenced in the ‘Amok’ phase. Ready? Good. ‘Dark Harvest’ is better.” – Fernando Ferreira, World of Metal (POR) 9/10 – Dark Harvest review

“If the last few Amon Amarth albums actually had balls, their music would sound like Hammerdrone.” – The Metal Advisor, The Metal Advisor (May 11, 2014) – Clone of Europa review

“…melodic death of this calibre may not be hard to find, but it rarely has this much classiness and energy behind it.” – Greg Pratt, Bravewords (Apr 07, 2014) – Clone of Europa review

“Hammerdrone’s songwriting prowess, attention to detail and willingness to push itself to try different things is what really sets Clone of Europa apart..Somebody sign them already!”- Roswell47, Metal Psalter (Jul 15, 2014) – Clone of Europa review

“these Canadians have recaptured what made Soilwork (and Dimmu) great in the first place…Somebody sign these guys already”- Kelly Hoffart, Full Metal Attorney (Mar 02, 2014) – Clone of Europa review

“Hammerdrone offers a no bullshit, no synths, no clean vox, in your face fifty minutes of the most exciting music 2014 has delivered so far to my ears”- Jonathan, TZEEEAC (Feb 14, 2014) – Clone of Europa review

“a perfect combination of melodic and extreme…this Metal band helps give the underground of Metal its grand reputation”- Stone, Metal Odyssey (Jul 01, 2013) – A Demon Rising review

“Their music has a certain unholy majesty to it that few bands can obtain…” – Matt Baggins, Two Metal Guys Reviews (Mar 13, 2013) – A Demon Rising review

“a great, hard-hitting Death Metal experience”- The Circle Pit, The Circle Pit (Jan 11, 2013) – A Demon Rising review

“Lead vocalist, Graham Harris, had impeccable skill, projection and charisma – as did bassist Teran Wyer and guitarist Curtis Beardy. Their stage dynamics exuded chemistry, adrenaline and drive…Lead guitarist, Rick Cardellini stood out with his intricate solos and expressive musicianship. All in all, Hammerdrone were my favourite band of the night, and – in my opinion – the Wacken Battle winners.” – Amina Abdelwahab, Metal Master Kingdom (Jun 9, 2018) – Live Review

“Frontman Graham Harris was on fire during the entire concert, growling and roaring (and also making faces) like a beast, while his bandmates…delivered a well-balanced fusion of the more harmonious lines from Melodic Death Metal with the sheer heaviness and aggressiveness of old school Death Metal…after Hammerdrone’s concert was over, I knew the judges were going to have a very difficult time deciding who should be crowned the 2018 champions.” – Gustavo Scuderi, The Headbanging Moose (Jun 9, 2018) – Live Review

“This was the third time I had seen them play live over the past three months, and no lie, these adepts of melodic death metal never fail to awe…”- Xavier Catterinch, Metal Master Kingdom (Apr 6, 2018) – Live Review

Calgary, Canada’s death metal juggernaut, Hammerdrone, return with their most ambitious recording yet: “A Trinity of Rage”.

Deliberately written as a concept release and painstakingly crafted over the course of four years, the EP is accompanied by an original short story, “Eversor” (available as a bonus download via Bandcamp). The story revolves around the fictional second book of Revelation, in which is foretold the threat of Heaven’s destruction at the hands of Eversor, The Destroyer.

As the written story of “Eversor” ends, the EP begins, with both the music and lyrics of the three songs completing the narrative arc that the story introduces.

At once aggressively heavy and hauntingly melodic, the band incorporates a variety of black and progressive metal influences to present an EP that both pushes the boundaries and embraces the roots of their old-school, melodic death metal origins.

Mixed by the band and then burnished to shine by the professional mastering skills of the legendary Jens Bogren (Amon Amarth, Be’lakor, Rotting Christ, etc) at Fascination Street Studios in Sweden, the result is an epic and forceful musical expression of betrayal, broken faith and vengeance

“A Trinity of Rage” is due out December 10th, 2021, and will be available on all digital music platforms.

EPK – TYMO – The Art of A Maniac (2022)

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

For fans of Megadeth, Slayer, Lich King, Municipal Waste, Exodus

“The Art Of A Maniac” is a great representation of where we are at now! Playing live with other Alberta thrash bands such as Hazzerd and WMD has definitely influenced this record! It feels good to have finally written a full-on thrash album and it was good to take the extra time over the pandemic and make sure we were satisfied with everything! We pushed our speed and playing boundaries on this record, it’s really different from our last album Purge & Reset. Any fans of thrash metal will definitely appreciate this record and we hope it’s added to their collection. Definitely our most aggressive and most focused record yet!” – TYMO

Album Title: The Art Of A Maniac

“THE ART OF A MANIAC is probably one of the best thrash releases of the month!” – Metal Hammer Germany – February 2022

“In the mood for a good ol’ fashioned thrashing? Feeling the need for speed? Is it party time? If the answer to any (or all) of the above is/was a resounding “fuck yes!” then Tymo’s The Art Of A Maniac was the thrash album for you… Relentless and, most importantly FUN, Tymo’s clean, crisp lethal riffage and Tim Tymo’s feral barks combined to create a detailed thrash canvas liberally sprayed with blood, sweat, tears and beers….Bob Ross would approve (probably).” – Worship Metal (The 5 Greatest Canadian Thrash Albums of 2022!)

“Both of this Canadian band’s two first albums were solid thrash outings but nothing prepares you for the absolute mauling and downright punishing assault this third one subjects you to. Every tune here is a thrasher’s delight, the blistering and wholly savage intent being there for all to hear, as opening instrumental ‘Tymonicide’ proves, and then some. What gets your attention is the wicked production, giving this one of the most vicious guitar sounds you’ll hear in 2022… Relentless. energised and thoroughly riveting, this is a thrasher’s dream. Play loud and it’s guaranteed to piss your neighbours off, or have them join the pit. 9/10” – Powerplay Magazine

“a thunderous cacophony of thrash, fuelled by aggression and menace, ‘The Art Of A Maniac’ is terrific. 10/10” – Metal Gods TV

“Why I like it: Heavy, frantic thrash metal.” – AlanCross.ca

“another kick ass Canadian thrash act I will need to add to the ever expanding library of metal.” – Apoch’s Metal Reviews

“TYMO are an enrichment for the thrash scene. Tempo, joy of playing, song hosting – a whole lot fits together wonderfully. I’m excited to see what’s to come.” – My Revelations

“The Short List: 6 Titles You Want to Hear. these are the albums I’ll be spinning – TYMO” – Tinnitist

“My puny gripes about the lightning velocity aside, this record has won me over after multiple listens thanks to its frenzied riff work, hilarious themes & hooks, brilliant cover art, and sheer stubbornness. It definitely will take a few repeats to reveal all the enjoyable bits and bobs it has to offer, because it will inevitably whizz through your ears in a blinding flurry of shredding at first. The Art Of A Maniac will, quite simply, grab you by the face and keep hammering your skull into a wall at mach-speed until you’re forced to admit that you’re actually having a fantastic time. That’s what the ‘war beneath the skull’ was for me, anyway… 8.5/10” – Metal-Observer

“If you want uncompromising thrash metal with the edge of the likes of Municipal Waste, look no further than Canadian thrashers TYMO… Overall, ‘The Art of a Maniac’ is an aggressive, full-on thrash record that stands solidly as a sophomore release. Jagged, thick riffage dominates but not to the detriment of the other elements. If you like your thrash violent and fun, TYMO should be a band you check out.” – The Razors Edge Rocks

“these Alberta-bound Canucks not only walk the walk but talk the talk, contributing another mighty slab of unrelenting party-thrash to the never-ending thrash revival. Throw in plenty of nods to fellow genre miscreants like Municipal Waste and Gama Bomb and a few classic flourishes, and you’re in for one riffy ride.” – Angry Metal Guy

“this is a quick hitting assault that delivers plenty of punch, ideal transitions, and potent rhythms/lead play for even the newcomers to incessantly headbang and throw themselves about… Those into the work of Lich King, older Megadeth, and Exodus could easily enjoy and savor Tymo. 8/10” – Dead Rhetoric

“Canadian thrash metal group Tymo know what its audience wants on The Art Of A Maniac: 32 minutes of neck-smashing music meant to be consumed in an environment with bodies flying around. The urgency behind songs like the anthemic “Alcoholocaust” and rambunctious instrumental “Tymonicide” is a feature that elevates this album above their last one.. The Art Of A Maniac is a step up for Tymo, a no-nonsense thrash album with mayhem on its agenda. 3.5/5” – Heavy Music Headquarters

“It’s a fast and aggressive but precise and melodic sound Tymo have crafted, combining elements from both the European and American schools.” – The Metal Crypt

“In the World of Tymo there is no holding back and no time to waste as scores are settled and riffs fly like bullets with deadly accuracy, leaving no place to hide and no time to run for cover. The fretboard smoking Speed Thrash attack begins with instrumental “Tymonicide“, the conjoined twin of “Sanity Clause” as together like Butch Cassidy and the Sun Dance Kid they blast their way out of the record and into your unsuspecting ear drums.” – Metal Noise

“The Art Of A Maniac Tymo manages to combine riffs full of the heaviness of 1980s thrash with their own modern means and ingenious solos, and can thus appeal to fans of old-school veterans like Megadeth or Exodus as well as younger fans of convincing with more progressive metal. For me the first highlight of 2022, and therefore 9 / 10” – Soundmagnet Magazin

“straightforward classic thrashy stuff. cool!!” – WORT Mosh Pit Radio 89.9 FM – Madison, WI

“nothing beats a good album of “brain-breaking music” – Olivier No Limit

“The Art Of A Maniac is a solid album… Highly recommended for fans of Megadeth, Slayer, Lich King, Municipal Waste and Exodus.” – MetalFan.nl

“This really hits the spot. From the opening instrumental “Tymonocide” to the final blur of “Alcoholocaust”, this bunch never lets up on the gas. This isn’t the chunky, chugging kind of thrash or the more, melodic progressive variety…this is pure manic speed, chock full of shifty riffs and acid-spitting guitar solos.” – Wormwood Chronicles

“”The Art of a Maniac” is a thrash orgy whose title lives up to its promise… Incessant continuous barrage with breakneck tempo dynamics, rock-hard precision and purposeful, to the point attitude. A mighty furious Thrashorkan, taking no prisoners with furious power, mercilessly blowing everything away!” FFM-Rock.de

“I’m hearing what could be roughly described as a mixing of the riffs of EvilDead and Tankard, the thrashier backline of Suicidal Tendencies, the lyrical nods to Acid Reign and Exodus, and Al Jourgensen-style vocals.” – SDMetal

“the “axes” are fluid and sharp… The vocal registers are violent and seasoned… Don’t hesitate to listen to him.” – Broken Tomb

“it’s a flurry of aggressive riffs and angry vocals that we’re talking about. In addition, the solos are phenomenal and the tempo remains frantic from start to finish. Fans of the first Megadeth, Exodus, Slayer or more recently of Lich King or Municipal Waste will find themselves there.” – Soil Chronicles

“‘The Art of a Maniac’ is a thrilling thrash metal album that doesn’t reinvent the wheel of metal. It is the pure energy that drives these songs, tracks that unfold their dynamic and powerful vibe right away. It’s just what you need for a good metal party.” – Markus Heavy Music Blog

“Drenched in classic thrash’s greatest hits but carving a determined identity from all this 80s goodness, Tymo’s work is exemplary. At what point could you want anything else from a modern thrash record? Seriously, put that title track on and tell me if you’ve heard a better thrash track than that in the past year or so? I’m not sure I have. Get this now!” – Killchain Blog

“Riffs cutting like a razor”- Hardrocker Magazine

“Frontman Tim Tymo’s vocal style is in the vein of Black Album-era James Hetfield with a great melodic grit” – Metal Master Kingdom

“When I hear the instrumental tune Flames To Frost, I think of early Iron Maiden” – Hard Rock Info

============================

The album as a whole:

The album has a common theme of destruction and chaos! Themes of destroying to gain control and take over! Lyrically and musically the album moves very fast, we wanted to create a feeling of chaos happening all around the listener! We touch on subjects of mental illness, alien invasion, civil conflicts, social media, and substance abuse! We accompany that with fast riffs, shreddy solos and thick angry vocals! – Tim Tymo

Track by Track Explained:
1. Tymonicide: A fast instrumental opener to warm the listener up to the band and the new record! It leads directly into the next track “Sanity Clause.” Similar to Megadeth’s “Into The Lungs Of Hell” leading into “Set The World Afire.”

2. Sanity Clause: An angry thrasher touching on the subjects of suicide and the journey to hell to relive the pain over and over again! The riffs accompany the vocals in anger and it cuts through the pain like a razor! A fast punch in the face to start off the album!

3. Mars Attacks: Possibly Tymo’s new thrash anthem. Lyrically it’s about the film and the comics “Mars Attacks.” It tells the story of the Martians annihilating the human race and taking over the Earth! The riffs morph into each very smoothly. If you love old school Exodus, you will love Mars Attacks!

4. Estrogenocide: One of the groovier and gallopy tracks on the album! Lyrically it tells the story of women taking over the Earth and slaughtering all of the men to create a Utopia! Surviving men are enslaved for their seed to continue the human race! This track was inspired by the Rick & Morty Episode “Gazorpazorp.”

5. Age Of Deception: A groovy, progressive, jazz fusion inspired track, similar to Megadeth’s first two records “Killing Is My Business” and “Peace Sells.” The song touches on the subject of social media abuse and how people change once they get behind technology! The human race is now very connected yet very distant from each other!

6. The Roy Parson Project: A song with a mix of fast thrash and groove metal! It’s inspired by Roy Parson from the Rick & Morty episode “Mortynight Run.” It touches on the subject of Roy’s journey and the effects of video game addiction. We like to escape real life to find more enjoyment in the virtual world! If you’re a Lich King fan, you love this track!

7. War Beneath The Skull: The slowest and most progressive song on the album. A journey through different time signatures and feel changes. It’s a groovefest with some industrial elements! Lyrically it’s about the internal fight that comes with mental illness. Always having a battle with yourself!

8. The Art Of A Maniac: The title track of the album is definitely the angriest and most ferocious song on the album! The riffs are fast and will satisfy any thrash metal fan, this song has a little bit of everything from the album. The lyrics were inspired by “Art The Clown” and “The Devil’s Rejects.” It follows the point of view of a mass murderer on a killing spree. A full on maniac!

9. Alcoholocaust: Tymo’s party and drinking anthem! This is Tymo’s “Whiplash.” Fast open string riffs that take you on a wild ride! It tells the story of Tymo on tour and partying their way through every town! Very Municipal Waste inspired! We wanted to end the album with a bang and we feel this song delivers!

==============================

BAND STORY ANGLES / FUN FACTS

1. So far most of Tymo’s song subjects revolve around destruction, aliens, and Rick & Morty!

2. Tymo started out as a hard rock band but we were a metal band at heart! We were pulled aside by a promoter after our second show and told we should be ourselves and play what we want to play, which is metal. The rest is history!

3. Tymo is well known for how well they cover other metal songs! The band performed as “Megadeth” at a Bands As Bands Halloween show back in 2019! The band covered Holy Wars…The Punishment Due, Skin O My Teeth, Wake Up Dead, The Conjuring, Devil’s Island, & My Last Words!

4. Songs Age Of Deception and We The Pawns include gang vocals from all four band members! Both parts were recorded in a cramped vocal booth with the band circled around a vocal mic! Social distancing at its finest!

5. While filming the music video for Killer Krom, the band invited a bunch of fans to be a part of the video! Everyone was paid with pizza and all you can drink Lucky beer! It was one of the drunkest Sundays we have ever had, it definitely shows in the video!

“A golden shower of thrash metal!” Six words to sum up Tymo! A band whose attitude lives up to the title of their debut album “Purge & Reset”. Lead guitarist and vocalist Tim Tymo explains that the origin of the title is more than words; it is a statement of lost faith in humanity. “Let’s just say we have a creator or superior being. If this god gave up everything we needed to flourish and returned to see all the wars and corruption, it would want to wipe the slate clean and start over. Hence…PURGE AND RESET!

Formed in Edmonton in 2015, Tymo is comprised of Tim Tymo as the lead guitarist and vocalist, Nick Schwartz on rhythm guitar, Harlen Jacobs on bass, and Marc Durie on drums.

Tim Tymo describes the band’s sounds as “loud, angry, and explosive thrash”. Tymo has a serious mission to entertain their fans. “We love writing and performing, and we all share a common passion for thrash metal. We wanted to reference our heroes and mix up that inspiration with our own brew and see what we came up with, and here we are. We want to give people a source of inspiration and excitement!

Tymo’s debut album “Purge & Reset” was released in August of 2017 and Tymo performed shows in support of the album throughout 2018. The band returned to the studio in early 2019 to record a single entitled “Sanity Clause.” It was released in late 2019 with very positive reviews and sold-out shows! Due to Covid 19, the band spent much of 2020 in the studio recording their follow-up album to Purge & Reset!

As of 2021, Tymo performed at the Loud As Hell Festival 2021 and has finished recording their next full-on thrash album! Much faster and more aggressive than Purge & Reset. The album entitled “The Art of A Maniac” is planned to be released in 2022 and Tymo has a mission to expand its audience and dominate the world! Planning to tour Europe and many other countries.

See you out there!

Barbosa explains the track:

“Sound Of Rain is a soundtrack for a resting session at the end of a long and tiring journey or just an exhausting day. In every journey, there is a moment when we sit down, take a deep breath and try to make sense of all the learnings, mistakes and lessons we collect along the way. It is part of the learning process and it feeds the creative and constructive loops of any thought or idea we might be forming. Our subconscious does this process automatically during our dreams when we sleep. So, Sound Of Rain talks about owning this process, about Lucid Dreaming, by the sound of pouring water, in a comfortable and warm environment, where we lead the process of making sense of all what we learned so far in our life journeys, what is yet to discover and what path should we take to get to the final goal. In this case, the formation, comprehension and harvesting of the perfect Idea, the one that represents the best version of ourselves, a Hypercube on the top of the mountain. In order to transmit this message, elements of percussion, finger-style classical guitar, exploring harmonic features of the instrument, and organic rhythmics were used, over smooth by dynamic harmonic progression were implemented”

Terra brings a combination of musical, audiovisual and artistic experience that translates the personality and ideas of Brazilian composer and multi-instrumentalist Lucas Barbosa, resulting in a musical journey for those who love music and exploration of the new.

“The idea of Terra was always there, I believe. I have been composing and writing songs since I was 15. I needed a platform to structure and back these songs. This platform should allow me to combine some passions of mine: folk and metal music, traveling and photography. When I was around 20, I came up with the concept of TERRA, a project that would combine all the influences that made the musician and the person I am, in an organic manner, which would allow me to tell my stories of discoveries and exploration, including my experiences traveling through Brazil and throughout the world. It took about 10 years to actually find the environment and opportunity to bring this idea to life by recording Hypercube and kick-starting this journey.” comments Barbosa.

Terra’s first record is the outcome of the combination of elements put together to tell a story of a journey of growth and self-discovery, that frankly, could be the tale of every human being at some point in their lives. Ten songs are there to paint a picture of the artist’s personality and explore each step of the way with the respective deserved depth. Although heavy metal is the glue that unites all the musical nuances presented on this album, “Hypercube” does not shy away from a rich range of influences such as American Bluegrass, Country Music, Classic Rock, Classical Music, Western Folk, traditional Brazilian, Caipira and Sertanejo music along with passages of Samba, Capoeira, Bossa Nova and many others to convey its message. Lucas Barbosa was responsible for playing almost all instruments, including rhythm and lead guitars in all their forms (electric, classical, 6 string, 12 string), bass, Brazilian guitar (or Viola Caipira), Andean guitar (or Charango), Pan flute (Andean flute), harmonica, percussions and piano, in addition to performing all of the vocals in the songs.

Terra‘s debut album “Hypercube” is due out November 19, 2021.

“A huge sound, massive riffs and ferocious roaring, the drums providing a thunderous backdrop.”” – The Razor’s Edge

“Canadian metal band Sinful Ways are on a quest to bring you, well, metal. With influences that span multiple subgenres (especially including a helping of thrash metal influence), the band are offering up Darkest Days – their sophomore EP. Many of these songs are truly written with the moshpit action in mind, making for a solid introduction to the band. It’s only 18 minutes long, too, so tracks like “Vow Of The Devil” (an EP standout) manage to not drag on too long” – New Fury Media

“The band have spent the last two years or so releasing content, slowly piecing together where they want to go. Like the title track to their first EP To Hell Tonight, there’s an attempt at loftier songwriting with closer “Pursuit.” Its grandiose guitar solo and ensuing breakdown are an excellent snapshot of the group’s evolution.” – Heavy Music Headquarters

“…as the crows kraa an arty spoken word sets the tone as “Welcome” bursts into “Vow of the Devil“, a classic Trivium esq all out riff attack that blends elements of Thrash, Groove and Metalcore into one homogeneous seething beast accompanied by a scathing vocal attack encased in a classic Thrash bark at very much acts as a wake up call before “Bury The Hatchet” comes in swinging like a wrecking ball. The band made the statement that they had worked at their instruments while unable to play shows and in the second offering that time spent comes into its own with dedication to their craft and attention to detail shining like a lighthouse beacon over stormy waters.” – Metal Noise

“loaded with good, strong and energetic sounds, ready to conquer your ears.” – Zone Nights

“Canada’s Sinful Ways have a loud new single “Burst Into Flames” out that is ready to launch listeners into a fray of melodic heavy metal. This new single is a little different from what they have previously released and it shows that they are a diverse band who explore different sounds and can write different metal compositions from different genres. The result is a smooth blend of a few different genres in one refreshing, fast, melodic song.” – Metal Nation

“The guitar work is very well done, the riffs compliment the drums perfectly, the transitions are very well done. The bridge/breakdown fits perfectly, it sounds like they used a light octaver on the guitars to give them an extra punch there and it worked amazingly. The guitar solo afterwards was well executed.” – The Ottawa Sound

“Sinful Ways practice a very aggressive and fast thrash sound in the Machine Head and Lamb of God line, crossing growls with clean voices. It is the type of band that easily captivates: professional musicians, excellent notions of composition, modern contagious sound and a clear desire to win. Uncompromised, but still serious, these Canadians will please fans of elite and quality metal” – Metal Hammer Portugal

“With a kickass attitude, drive and awesome production this band is destined for greatness” – Henric Liljesand (The Unguided, Night Crowned)

“Burst into flames brings the pain. The song is very well written and structured by blending modern and old school metalcore aspects” – Michael Labelle (A skylit drive, horcrux)

Sinful Ways is Canadian heavy metal that embraces the roots of the genre while also exploring thrash, groove, and metalcore.

The band began when Andres Pierce (guitar/vocals) and Brad Lake (guitar/vocals) were in high school. They went through many different name changes and tried out different drummers and singers for a long time before the Sinful Ways we know today was formed with the addition of Georgio Karapanos (guitar) and Dave Matlak (drums/backing vocals).

The first EP “To Hell Tonight” was launched in 2019 and the band cemented their heavy melodic metal with substance. Sinful Ways channel energy and enthusiasm both on their recordings and live. They are an engaging band that will play each show as if it were their last compared to other bands that don’t have the attitude or energy of a true metal band.

In 2020, Sinful Ways began releasing singles to capture the attention of listeners, starting with “No Escape” and “Burst Into Flames”.

Now in 2021, the band is ready to offer up their sophomore EP “Darkest Days”, a solid blend of melodic and thrashy elements creating a mix that sits beautifully between the two. Lyrically, you will read the anger they share towards faulty governments and the treatment of people in other areas of the world.

“Darkest Days” is due out December 10, 2021 and will be available on all digital platforms.
