“The production of the song gives the music a raw, abrasive tone, accentuated by bouts of bleeding feedback. The music gets under your skin and writhes like worms in your head. Its dismal melodies tend to stay in your head, too. The finishing instrumental segment over the video’s closing credits is eerie, dramatic, and powerful — and it offers no hope either.” –NoCleanSinging.com

Edmonton’s own IDOLATRY was involved in a car accident on May 28 on Highway 17 East of Wawa, Ontario. While travelling down a gravel road their vehicle veered off the road and into the ditch. Lord Matzigkeitus (Vocals) sustained some cracked ribs during the accident ,but no other members were severely hurt. The black metal group has been on tour performing in Quebec, Ontario, and were on route to their show May 29th show in Brandon, MB, which would have been their last date of the tour and has now been cancelled. The band apologizes to fans who were hoping to see them perform.
IDOLATRY has launched a crowdfunding campaign through GoFundMe.com to raise money for vehicle repairs and fuel to get back to Edmonton, Alberta.

The band comments: “Our band Idolatry went out east for our first Canadian tour and right before our last show had a vehicle accident. We are all fine, bruised but fine. Unfortunately, we have to cancel the remainder of the tour and need your help to make it back to Edmonton, Alberta. If you can make a donation we would be incredibly grateful.”
IDOLATRY has a goal of $350 CND and hopes fans and friends will donate so they can make arrangements to make it back to Edmonton.

Biography:
Creaking, bleak and articulate in its fury, Idolatry perform dynamic black metal that is at once cold and calculating, and then a schizophrenic catharsis. Comprised of members from Edmonton’s finest pedigree of extreme metal with singular vision to be old Norway’s soldier in Canada’s frozen tundra of misery. Live, Idolatry is corpse painted, spiked, and manic, raiding crowds of their attention to all else….terrifying. At the pen, Idolatry is wise and ancient. Heavily steeped in philosophy and the defense of Atheistic Satanism and the expulsion of abhorrent inner turmoil.
Fear what is coming….. Lest the mirrors paint your face in our madness.
