Montreal, QC – October 31, 2023

Wacken Metal Battle Canada 2023 Champions STRIGAMPIRE Announces New Album “All To Dominate” Out Dec 2023

Unveil First Single “Liberty”

Produced by Christian Donaldson (Cryptopsy)

L-R – (Back row) James Foster / Drums – BadGuy P / Bass (Front row) – Steve DC / Vocals – Willy Thousand / Guitars – Johnny Dead / Guitars

​

Created in 2001 in Quebec, Canada, Strigampire has been recognized over the years for its eloquence and the energy coming out from each of its frantic live performances. Over two decades of hard work culminated last year when they entered the studio with producer Christian Donaldson (Cryptopsy) to record their highly anticipated third full-length album “All To Dominate”. The first look at the album is with the single “Liberty”, which addresses the psychological and emotional consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. Vocalist Steve DC explains:

“This song kicks off the album, brilliantly capturing the variety of moods that unfold through our melodies. Although precise labeling of metal styles and subgenres isn’t my forte, I would say it starts with a fast and thrashy riff, subtly guiding us towards powerful and rock-oriented sections, an evolution we increasingly incorporate into our songs. Then, a guitar solo in Johnny Dead’s style emerges, followed by a bridge that quickly returns us to the initial atmosphere, concluding with a warrior-like riff that urges one to wreak havoc all around!”

Earlier this year, after 3 years of no performances and adding new members, the band made a triumphant return to the stage and emerged Wacken Metal Battle Canada 2023 Champions garnering a spot at the legendary festival Wacken Open Air.

“All To Dominate” features 10 tracks, including 9 new original songs and one cover. Strigampire didn’t have a surplus of additional songs to include on the album, so they selected the ones with the most potential and worked diligently to complete them. The result is an album that is melancholic, unique, and powerful. It is recommended for fans of Dark Tranquillity, Children Of Bodom, Arch Enemy, and At The Gates.

Watch and listen to the lyric video for “Liberty” via its premiere on Bravewords HERE.

“All To Dominate” is due out on December 15, 2023, and is available for pre-order (CD/Digital) at https://strigampire.bandcamp.com.

“Charisma, efficiency, and talent are three fitting words to describe Strigampire’s performance. With music that blends the finest elements of black metal and melodic death metal, and a phenomenal stage presence.” Fred Laroche – Capitale Du Métal

“This group is a treasure from Quebec and they did not come back from Wacken Open Air in Germany for nothing, they were finally noticed after years of work and it is well deserved because they are in their place performing in front of us with such conviction. We are talking about musicians of great quality with a lot of movement despite the difficulty of what they play most of the time. I would have loved for them to play on the big stage with the big sound, but it was Mononc Serge and Anonymus who were coming to close the long day of festivities.” – Metal Universe

“A music group from Trois-Rivières, Strigampire, will participate in the most important death metal festival, Wacken Open Air, this summer in Germany.” CBC Radio Canada

“It’s the story of five teenagers who form a musical group at the age of 15. They rehearse at school at lunchtime, in their parents’ basement or garage in the evenings and on weekends. They have nourished their passion for more than 20 years. They could never have suspected that this adventure would lead them to the most prestigious international heavy metal music competition. The Strigampire group from Trois-Rivières will represent Canada at the Wacken Battle Music in Germany on August 2.” – L’Hebdo Journal

“Throughout the album (One Fix, Nine Clouds and Six Feet Deep), the Canadian quintet walk the line between throat-shredding aggression and accessible melodies.” – Decibel Magazine

“Strigampire are a melodic death metal band offering a unique blend of aggression, bitterness and power combined with a rock and roll attitude.” – La Grosse Radio Metal

““The Only Hell I Know” balances between ripping vocals and galloping, melodic riffs.” – Decibel Magazine (2018 – One Fix, Nine Clouds and Six Feet Deep)

“If a combo has reached a level like STRIGAMPIRE on “One Fix, Nine Clouds & Six Feet Deep”, you can’t make enough use of it. Two thumbs up for this fine piece of melodic death lead entertainment!” – PowerMetal.de

0 Let The Spirits Guide You With Video For Colombia’s ESHTADUR’s Melodic Death “Fire Above Mountain Below”

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – October 31, 2023

Let The Spirits Guide You With Video For Colombia’s ESHTADUR’s Melodic Death “Fire Above Mountain Below”

Colombian melodic death metal quartet Eshtadur once again invites listeners to get lost in their dark soundscapes with their latest single “Fire Above Mountain Below”. This is the second single they have released this year, after September’s “Umbra”, (https://youtu.be/9K60H6fn8vo), both of which are complimented with a video.

“Combining ancestral elements from folk and adding a full symphonic orchestra, this 6/8 song brings what Eshtadur likes the most, catchy melodies and deep mourning riffs all around. As we share this musical journey, we invite you to explore the echoes of the past and the spirits that continue to whisper in the mountains. Let this track be your guide into a world where the mysteries of nature and humanity converge. Discover the magic of our music today, and join us in paying homage to the eight great spirits.”

“Fire Above Mountain Below,” also incorporates traditional Colombian folk instruments like the Tiple, adding a distinctive cultural layer to Eshtadur’s music. The song tells the tale of a time long past when ancient mountain tribes lived in harmony with nature until Christianized settlers brought forth a dark chapter, displacing and even annihilating these tribes in pursuit of wealth and power.

At the core of Eshtadur‘s music lies a deep passion for poetry, mysticism, and the exploration of existence and cosmogony. Conceptually rooted in darkness, combining melodic and catchy elements that draw inspiration from a diverse range of musical genres, including Gothenburg death metal, black metal, and classical compositions They have had the honor of touring extensively in Europe and North America, playing alongside bands such as Cradle of Filth, Batushka, and Sepultura, and making an appearance at the revered 70000 tons of metal. They are recommended for fans of Behemoth, Dimmu Borgir, and At The Gates.

Watch and listen to the music video for “Fire Above Mountain Below” at https://youtu.be/Ft6AbiHlf_A

​

“Fire Above Mountain Below” is available as of October 31, 2023, on all digital platforms from Blood Blast Distribution at https://bfan.link/fire-above-mountain-below​

More Info: Eshtadur.com | Facebook.com/EshtadurOfficial | Instagram.com/eshtadur​

About: ESHTADUR was founded in the fall of 2005 by Jorg August releasing the ‘Timo Be Timo’ Demo with a sound in the vein of At The Gates, Dimmu Borgir, and Septicflesh. Since then, they have released a pair of EP’s and a strong four albums. ESHTADUR, meaning the rebellion of angels, can be most closely likened to bands such as Septic Flesh, Behemoth, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Carach Angren, and the like. Like their scene counterparts, the band embodies a deathly melodic atmosphere that reaches into realms of darkness and despair through the decay of humanity. It seeks to rebel, in its darkened way, embracing the abject reality.
​
Their rich touring history includes performances across Colombia, Peru, Mexico, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia. They have shared the stage and toured with Cradle of Filth, Vader, Graveworm, Sepultura, Aborted, and Decapitated in Rock Al Parque 2016.

Their 2017 release, via Bleeding Music Records, “Mother Gray” is an expression of planetary death and putrefaction. The scathing release saw the band touring 8 countries in Europe through 2018, and then visiting the United States for the first time for the “Gray America Tour” including Mexico. Now the band has signed the latest album “From The Abyss” with Blood Blast Distribution (by Nuclear Blast) and distributed physically by Hateworks (LA).
​
In 2022, the band toured supporting Batushka and Diabolical, this time visiting Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Austria, Slovenia, Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, and Switzerland.

In 2023, Eshtadur played at the 70000tons of Metal being the only band from Colombia. Eshtadur is gathering mist forces to fill your soul on their next visit with darkened despair as they set to release their new single “Umbra’ in September 2023 via Blood Blast Distribution.

​

Red Deer, AB, Canada’s BLACK DAGGERS debut album “Phantasmagoria” is now available as of October 31st. The concept record is about a Faustian Bargain gone awry. With its protagonist character making a deal with the Devil, it quickly goes wrong when he sees his life unraveling. The album is as much about struggling with vices as it is dealing with depression and addiction. The band wanted to really dig into the idea of drug-induced psychosis and explore where that might lead to paranoia and further self-destruction. They think in some ways the character will be relatable to people who’ve dealt with battling their inner demons with mental health issues or lived with addictions.

The band comments:

“We’re excited for people to listen to Phantasmagoria and to see everyone’s reactions to the story we’ve put together. This album was a labour of love with many hours of work put into it trying to make it the best we possibly could. We want fans to experience this record by putting on their headphones, closing their eyes and just imagining themselves drifting into this world where nothing is off limits and excess is the norm. The character struggles to cope with their newfound euphoria and it leads them down a dark path of self-destruction. If anything, after listening to this record people get a slightly deeper understanding of the struggles some people face.”

To celebrate the full-length’s release day, the band is sharing their next video for the track “City Limits”. The song tells the final chapter for the character of the album’s story where they realize they have made a mistake by making the deal with the Devil and try to run away and escape from their fate. Unfortunately, by this point, it is already too late and the Devil comes calling.

“This song is kind of a warning about addiction and the path it can lead you down and the destruction it can inevitably cause.” adds the band

​

Canadian Black Metal ARTACH Unleashes Infernal Horror Homage “Hell on Halloween”

In the haunting, frost-bitten depths of Canada, where the chilling winds of anticipation gust and the eve of Halloween draws near, ARTACH emerges from the shadows to bestow upon their dedicated followers a macabre musical offering of diabolical proportions. Behold, for in the dead of night, they unveil their latest creation, a sinister serenade aptly christened “Hell on Halloween.”

This unholy composition is a tribute to the malevolent specters that once graced the silver screens of the 1980s, an infernal homage to the iconic horror malefactors of that blood-soaked era. Leatherface, Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, Pinhead, and The Lost Boys, their names spoken in hushed reverence, each infuse their dread into the dark tapestry of this diabolic opus. As the chilling notes of “Hell on Halloween” reverberate through the abyss, they conjure forth the very essence of blackened thrash metal, seamlessly binding these two malevolent musical realms into a symphony of terror and power that will send shivers down the spines of all who dare to listen.

Stream or buy the single at artach.bandcamp.com/track/hell-on-halloween and watch the lyrics video at https://youtu.be/obScYv_KIqQ

​

Unleashing their latest and sixth full-length “Kill.Bury.Repeat.” via Gore House Productions, Kansas City, USA’s Torn The Fuck Apart drummer Dylan Watts is unveiling his latest playthrough for the track “Stuck In A Trunk”.

“I’ve been drumming since age 9 and started playing in bands around 13. I’ve been in bands of a wide range of genres, from metal, rock, and hip hop, although I’ve always focused on a metal drumming style. In recent years, while working with TTFA, I feel I have found what I can call a sound of my own in the extreme drumming style. That being said, I aim to bring some familiar yet refreshing heavy drumming into an ever-growing and evolving community.” adds Watts.

The playthrough can be viewed via Sick Drummer Magazine‘s YouTube Channel at https://youtu.be/OhcwSS_QDC0

​Torn The Fuck Apart (TTFA) has been amassing a brutal and gory discography since 2006 and now they continue their triumphant evolution as a three-piece powerhouse with their sixth release “Kill.Bury.Repeat.” that will bury listeners in a fury of death metal. Their sound features groove, aggression, and technicality layered with lyrics growling out themes of horror and homicide.

“We in TTFA are extremely excited to bring you our newest album “Kill.Bury.Repeat.” a collection of horror stories from our imagination or inspired by true events. We believe this album represents the next level of brutality that we have worked to achieve over the years not only musically but also lyrically, something that any fan of metal can enjoy.” says the band.

TTFA‘s lineup consists of Michael Langner on guitars/vocals, Brandon Mitchell on bass/vocals, and Dylan Watt on drums/vocals. Notably, Langner and Mitchell also double as members of Troglodyte, while Watt remains active in Sedlec Ossuary. Over the years, their sound has matured and evolved, partly due to their refusal to limit musical influences, thus drawing inspiration from various metal subgenres and incorporating different styles into their music.

In essence, they sum up their sound simply as “death metal,” but their music offers a vivid and detailed portrait of the horrors of death, the cycle of rebirth, and humanity’s morbid fascination with these themes. Not ones to sit idly by, they are overflowing with creative ideas and ensure fans that there will be a continuous stream of death metal devastation in the coming months. They are recommended listening for fans of Suffocation, Cryptopsy, and Cannibal Corpse.

Brutal, gory, fast, and technical, “Kill.Bury.Repeat.” was released by Gore House Productions and is available on CD, Digital, and Vinyl at the following link – https://orcd.co/kill-bury-repeat​

​“”If you’re just after some brutality and aggression, you’ll find it on ‘Kill.Bury.Repeat’ and you’ll be happy with it.” – Metal Underground​
​
​“Torn the Fuck Apart is one of the most unpretentious band names in extreme metal, and it’s also an example of “truth in advertising”: their music delivers what the name promises. Much the same could be said for this Kansas City’s band’s new album that’s due for release next month: Kill. Bury. Repeat.” – No Clean Singing​
​
​“The new full length sees the band trimming down to a trio from the quartet from which we last heard, and the result is ten songs which are lean, mean, and designed to punch a hole in your head like the blast from a 12 gauge shotgun. Unsurprisingly, the music is uncompromisingly aggressive, the lyrical content intense, and cover art suitably intimidating.” – The Pitch (Kansas City’s independent source for news and culture)​
​
​“If you’re into any sort of extreme metal, then you will love this. It’s got all sorts going on and I can hear shades of Obituary, Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, Goatwhore and others. TTFK might be a trio but they make one hell of a noise and are as tight as a ducks butt. Death metal is in safe, but dangerous, hands with these guys and I’ll be sourcing their back catalogue ASAP.” – My Global Mind​
​
​“Classic brutal death metal, a little black metal vox, otherwise, a meaty cannibal corpse type sound” – The Moshpit – WORT 89.9 FM (Madison, WI)​
​
​“With grim and guttural intent, Torn the Fuck Apart take no prisoners here. Sticking rigidly to the brutal death metal formula, but also infusing the album with a level of horror that makes for a bloodcurdling listen.” – Games, Brrraaains & A Headbanging-Life​
​
​“If you’re into any sort of extreme metal, then you will love this. It’s got all sorts going on and I can hear shades of Obituary, Cannibal Corpse, Deicide, Goatwhore and others. TTFK might be a trio but they make one hell of a noise and are as tight as a ducks butt. Death Metal is in safe, but dangerous, hands with these guys and I’ll be sourcing their back catalogue ASAP.” – Jace Media Music​
​
​“The title track is a collation of everything here and is an absolute cracker of how they can build songs that fit within the brutal genre without being one note. Great stuff. The later songs chart similar paths but album closer sees them go full tilt with Scratch the Bone which is just storming. That tightness, the changing modes just deliver one of the best metal songs of 2023. This and the title track represent a high watermark, and they should be proud of them, just total quality… They have achieved what they set out to do, raising their game in order to move forward and sit at the table with the likes of Dying Fetus et al.” 4/5″ – Metal Epidemic​
​
​“TTFA’s musical technique is undeniable” – Amplified Magazin​
​
​“With a band name and album title like that, of course it’s some brutal death metal. I’ll tell you what, it goes hard for it’s 40+ minutes, too. Heck, even the mixing is in-your-face, with everything feeling like it’s turned up to 11 and right there at the front. If I’ve written those in a way that make them sound like bad things, they aren’t at all. I surprisingly liked this album way more than I thought I would! There are a lot of fantastic riffs throughout, and the low growls are really impressive… I’d LOVE to see these tracks live and if anyone’s into this sort of music you’ll love it!” – Overtone Magazine

IMMORTAL GUARDIAN has been building awareness and anticipation towards a full album by releasing new songs digitally alongside some great music videos every few months. Today (October 27th) that all culminates in the release of their stellar new album ‘Unite And Conquer.’ A masterclass of progressive and power metal, full of shredding guitar and keyboard interplay (played simultaneously by the gifted Gabriel Guardian) as well as an array of vocal acrobatics from Brazilian-born Carlos Zema who seamlessly graces us with a traditional melodic timbre while at others experimenting with harsher heavy singing as well as higher pitched screams.

Since spring 2022 fans of the band have enjoyed the development and creativity of the album’s content and evolvement as the self-labeled ‘super metal’ group shared their progress building the concept and final work – the 10-song album ‘Unite and Conquer.’ In stores and online today in the US and Canada, as well as Asia via a licensing deal with Ward Records, followed Dec. 1st on a new deal for European release through Massacre Records. Domestic copies are available on jewel case CD, as well as colored vinyl options including the red/black splatter and the exclusive 100 copies on bone/black vinyl only available from their webstore and Bandcamp. Check out the link here for ordering or digital options https://lnk.to/immortalguardian

​

‘Unite and Conquer,’ like its hailed and successful predecessor 2021’s ‘Psychosomatic’ was written and recorded by the band themselves with credit going to Gabriel Guardian and bassist Joshua Lopez, who also mixed the album at his Widowmaker Studios. They enlisted the help of artist/photographer Masiha Fattahi (Threshold) with further design work by Jobert Mello (Sabaton, Primal Fear, Acid Reign), as well as guest vocals by Ralf Scheepers (Primal Fear, Gamma Ray) and Vicky Psarakis (The Agonist, Sicksense) to create a stellar new album.

“We definitely took a new direction with our writing process and overall sound on the new album. We tried some new things Immortal Guardian has never done, but also kept a taste of our classic sound in the process,” explains guitarist/keyboardist Gabriel Guardian. “We were all going through some crazy experiences in our lives while making this album and I think it really reflects in the music. As we did during our ‘Psychosomatic’ album, we were writing these songs in real time as we lived through these major events in the world and in our personal lives.”

“For generations, humanity has longed for a truth. The right to unite what has been divided. We long to be free from all our differences, genders, colors, nationalities, religions, beliefs, and any other type of separation,” elaborates vocalist Carlos Zema. “This real freedom relies on our minds, in being free from all these fears, repressions, oppressions, and everything else that stops us from being united. In the name of this truth, our voice will echo endlessly – Freedom!”

“Immortal Guardian’s ‘Unite and Conquer,’ lyrically traverses a multifaceted emotional journey, from introspection and self-discovery that passionately calls for unity and change. The poetic verses entwine seamlessly with the captivating melodies, delivering a musical narrative that resonates with the listener on a profound level, leaving an indelible mark on the heart and soul. With a simple message — this is the time to Unite and Conquer.”

Always lyrically insightful and pushing musical boundaries, the latest from IMMORTAL GUARDIAN will please fans of progressive, power, and traditional metal with so much tasty playing and melodies. Evidence is already obviously apparent in the six songs released to date, but there is still more to enjoy.

As stated earlier, the album was proceeded by six digital singles/music videos so check out “Rise of the Phoenix” “Ozona,” “Echoes,” “Southern Rain” “Perfect Person” and “Roots Run Deep” (feat. Ralf Scheepers). All can be heard online already through your favorite streaming or download platform, or watch the videos on YouTube.

0 Alt-Metal YESTERDAY’S HERO To Release Debut Album “Ways To Hate” Out Nov 2023 + New Music Videos “Be” & “Life So Good”

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – October 27, 2023

Alt-Metal YESTERDAY’S HERO To Release Debut Album “Ways To Hate” Out Nov 2023

+ New Music Videos “Be” & “Life So Good”

Hailing from the bogs of the black swamp, deep in the cut of corn country, Ohio’s Yesterday’s Hero is an alternative metal quintet fueled by backroad burnouts and small-town shenanigans. Blending high-energy grooves with timeless melodies, their music will make you hit repeat. Having shared the stage with bands Escape the Fate, Powerman5000, The Convalescence, and Gemini Syndrome, among many others, they will be releasing their first full-length “Ways To Hate” this coming November 2023.

Fueled by broken hearts, and personal turmoil, vocalist Chris Neller had unlimited lyrics when the band was ready to hit the studio to create the album. “Ways To Hate” features previous re-recorded tracks from their 2021 debut EP “Killing Me” along with a few new songs such as “What I Needed”, “Bounce” and the title track “Ways To Hate” to complete the seven-song album sure to get your blood pumping and moshing in the pit. The band prides itself on using raw gritty tube amps, no backing tracks or plug-ins. There is no need for a laptop as they intentionally step back from today’s norm. They explain further:

“In a digital age of singles, we are going analog and releasing an album. Why? Because when you hear a song as it finishes your head is already starting the next song. Thus must be passed on. The songs are arranged in an order specifically to create a feel. You can’t do that with singles! We write with simple intentions. Simple catchy riffs with relatable lyrics. The nostalgic taste of our music experience with a bit of new raw live sound.”

The band has two previously released singles accompanied by videos, “Be”, a song that describes the frustration of having a partner who is constantly blame-shifting, and “Life’s So Good”, a simple banger inspired by the rebirth of oneself focusing on the positive.

“Life is good and it’s even better without the pressures of trying to please someone else.” adds vocalist Chris Neller.

Both videos can be viewed and heard at the following links:

Out Now! New Music Video “Queen of Thorns” + Debut Album “Human Deeds” – RAINING NAILS (ft. members Eternal Silence, Fallen Arise, Oracle Sun, Sound Storm)

​

Featuring members of Eternal Silence, Fallen Arise, Oracle Sun, and Sound Storm, Italy’s Raining Nails are proud to finally unbind their 1ten tracks of power and symphonic-influenced heavy metal from the debut album “Human Deeds”, which is now available as of October 27th from Rockshots Records at bit.ly/HumanDeedsCD

​

To celebrate the full-length’s release, the band is sharing their new music video “Queen of Thorns”, a mysterious track, that captures and slowly pulls you into a place that seems far away, but actually lies within you, its slow whirlwind that intoxicates the mind and makes you forget the world around you, bringing you back to a primal essence.

“This song evokes in each of us deep, strong, and conflicting sensations and feelings, sharp and blurred images that intertwine into a unique and unrepeatable cocktail. I think, above all else, this is the reason why we chose it as a single.” adds bassist Massimiliano Flak.

Watch “Queen of Thorns” at https://youtu.be/3DhuRV7meOI

​

“Human Deeds” was produced, recorded, mixed, and mastered by bassist Massimiliano Flak at Evolution Recording Studios in Turin (Italy) www.evolutionstudios.it, with album artwork and booklet designed by Caio Caldas at www.cadiesart.com based on a concept from the band. All lyrics were written by Alessia Scolletti, except Anthem by Marika Vanni and Close To You by Massimiliano Flak.

“We hope that this album will be received with curiosity by future listeners, we are musicians from different bands and we each put our own ideas and origins into this project, making it an interesting recipe. Being a debut album, there is no certainty. What is for sure is that this album will also appeal to those who do not usually listen to metal. This album talks about the bad situation of the world, but also keeps a light of hope for the future. You can clearly see what we mean by looking through the artwork. We think our overall goal was to create songs that punch people’s heads and shake their hearts. What’s better than heavy metal to reach this goal?” adds the band.

Creating something that was particularly close to their hearts, Raining Nails is trying to make listeners more involved in their ideas and emotions. Fans of bands such as Battle Beast, Powerwolf, and Kamelot are highly recommended to check out “Human Deeds”.
