Stages Of Decomposition Releases Brutal New Single “Carve Out the Eyes”

New Album “Raptures of Psychopathy” Out Feb 2024 From Gore House Productions

Stages of Decomposition is a putrid and filthy brutal death metal band that crawled out of the underbelly of Los Angeles, USA, back in 2009. They have four releases out already and the latest “Raptures of Psychopathy” will be upon us soon, which will deliver extreme brutality and raw primitive energy. The next single is “Carve Out the Eyes”, which offers a glimpse inside the mind of murderer Richard Ramirez aka “Night Stalker”. The band shares more details:

“The idea behind Carve Out the Eyes is pure brutality. This song is about Richard Ramirez who lived and committed his crimes in the LA area in the utmost brutal ways. We wrote this song to capture pure energy and aggression where when it’s performed live you can feel the overwhelming power that Ramirez had over his victims. The lyrics, music, and energy truly make this a menacing song.”

“Carve Out the Eyes” promises to be a relentless sonic journey, delving into the raptures of psychopathy, using heavy and heart-splitting blast beats and corpulent riffage to sickening gutturals. Fans of extreme music can brace themselves for an unparalleled auditory and visual experience as Stages Of Decomposition continues to push the boundaries of Slamming Brutal LA Death Grind. Stay tuned for more bone-crushing revelations as the band gears up for their summer tour.

“On their new album Raptures of Psychopathy, Stages of Decomposition lean into the most violent and punishing aspects of their sound, and we have a prime example in the new album track we’re presenting today, along with a blood-spraying video… The song’s name is “Skid Row Slasher”. It’s based on true stories of serial killers, both of whom preyed on the homeless population of L.A…. The music is itself undeniably, and viciously, psychotic. The riffing is fast and frenzied, corrosive and cutting, and utterly crazed. The drums clatter at high speed, like automatic weaponry with a groove. The bass slugs like a heavyweight high on adrenaline. Equally rabid, the vocals expel raw guttural roars, crazed screams, and strangled gagging and gurgling excretions. It’s all macabre, and it’s all viscerally electrifying. But the band also make room for pulverizing slams capable of splitting concrete. It’s a kick to watch the band cut loose in the video, too, and of course there will be blood….” – No Clean Singing

“This is pure bang your head ‘till it pulps music. From growling guitars to smash the kit into pieces drumming, then snarling vocals, and a horror tinge (as we’ll see). It’s only right that they’re signed to Gorehouse Productions… Stages of Decomposition are tight, they can be felt as well as heard. The album (Piles of Rotting Flesh) is consistent with no weak moments. You will bleed, this will hurt. For proof check the official video below.” – Severed-Cinema

“It’s a brutal assault on your ears in the same style as bands like Cannibal Corpse.” – Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life (EP – Crawl Space Burial)

0 BLACK DAGGERS’ New Music Video “Best I’ve Got” Takes You On Car Chase With The Devil + New Album “Phantasmagoria” Out Now!

BLACK DAGGERS’ New Music Video “Best I’ve Got” Takes You On Car Chase With The Devil!

Debut Concept Record “Phantasmagoria” Out Now!

L-R: Spencer McLeod (Drums), Stanley Sullivan (Rhythm Guitar), Mike Szeles (Bass Guitar), Valentine Vandal (Lead Vox, Lead Guitar)

Making their debut this past October with their first full-length “Phantasmagoria”, Red Deer, AB, Canada’s Black Daggers are revealing their next music video for the record’s opening track “Best I’ve Got”. Vocalist/guitarist Valentine Vandal explains the track:

“The song is about feeling like you’ve given everything you can, and nothing is ever good enough. It was a cathartic song to write, and I feel like many people could relate to that. The video itself is based on a car chase between the devil and the main character of our concept album.”

The music video for “Best I’ve Got” can be seen and heard via its premiere on V13 HERE.

A concept record about a Faustian Bargain gone awry, “Phantasmagoria” sees its protagonist character making a deal with the Devil, which quickly goes wrong when they see their life unraveling. The album is as much about struggling with vices as it is dealing with depression and addiction. The band wanted to 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.

“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.” says the band.

Self-producing this first full-length, Black Daggers‘ explored different sound textures and ideas, but they also wanted to make sure the record was something they could reproduce live, which they are looking forward to doing in the coming months with plans to play across Alberta and beyond.

Mandatory listening for fans of Queens of the Stone Ages, Foo Fighters, and Alice In Chains, “Phantasmagoria” is available on all digital platforms at https://linktr.ee/blackdaggersmusic

Spotify – https://spoti.fi/40gqFML

In additional news, Black Daggers have also been confirmed to perform at this year’s The Electric Highway Music Festival being held from April 4th – 6th in Calgary, AB. Event info.

Track Listing:
1. Best I’ve Got – (4:00)
2. These Broken Bones – (3:46)
3. Surfin’ A Vibe – (4:04)
4. Voices – (4:21)
5. I’m Here – (4:15)
6. Wasted – (3:23)

“The ideas, the story, the connection to the characters are there as if one is reading a book or watching a movie. Phantasmagoria is cohesive in its songs, music, and mood and that cohesiveness of Phantasmagoria is what makes the debut album from Black Daggers brilliant. MUST LISTEN TRACKS: “Best I’ve Got”, “Im Here”, “Wasted”, “City Limits”, “Carpe Diem”” – Amplify The Noise

“Solid. God knows we need more music like this, especially in Canada. If you’re into anything from Alice in Chains and Soundgarden to Mastodon and Big Wreck, this is for you.” – Alan Cross – Undiscovered Gem of the Week – Corus Media

“‘Surfin’ a Vibe’ really conjures a dark, horror-laced image. The raw vocals perfectly capture the feeling of impactful shock rock. I like the bold confidence and furious brutality. It’s well-structured but raucous.” — What CRB thought of ‘Surfin’ a Vibe’

“I really like what they did with the solo coming in a bar early. Really interesting stuff. Song of the night!” – @the_ghosthouse (Twitch)

0 CONFINED TO OBLIVION Pay Homage To Quebec History With Metal Cover Of “Les Étoiles Filantes” (Les Cowboys Fringants)

CONFINED TO OBLIVION Pay Homage To Quebec History With Metal Cover Of “Les Étoiles Filantes” (Les Cowboys Fringants)

Originating in Montreal, Canada, Confined To Oblivion emerged onto the music scene in early 2015, drawing inspiration from melodic death and extreme metal genres. Thus far, they have released two EPs and a full-length album all to great reception and now they are taking a step in a different direction to pay homage to Karl Tremblay, a highly influential songwriter in 21st-century Quebec culture with their rendition of the classic “Les Étoiles Filantes”. It’s a wildly fun cover, even for those who don’t speak French. The band comments:

“For this song, we wanted to emphasize the catchy melody of the original by Les Cowboys Fringants. Starting with a tribute to the song, taking liberties by adding a modern breakdown, and concluding with an epic build-up. We tried to bring an epic and heavy version of a classic Quebec song. The same singalong choruses but we added a renewed energy that’s perfect for a metal Saint Jean Baptiste party.”

Typically, most of the foundational ideas for Confined To Oblivion’s songs come from the guitarists Yannick Fortin and Simon Chenard. However, for this cover, they made an exception as bassist Antony Lepage had an obsession with this song, and he adapted and recorded it in one day shortly after hearing about the passing of Karl Tremblay. The premise of the song is that life is short, filled with both joyful and sorrowful events, and that, despite it all, we must make the most of the time we have on this earth.

Not only does Confined To Oblivion take this classic song and make it theirs, but they pay attention to the single art and pay tribute to the original, featuring a drawing of a dead fish, but since vocalist, Jean-Charles Carrère is more of a photographer than an illustrator, he decided to buy a fish at the Jean-Talon Market in Montreal for the recreation.

Heavy, melodic, and very catchy “Les Étoiles Filantes” is recommended for anyone interested in Quebec history and fans of In Flames, As I Lay Dying, and The Agonist.

“Confined To Oblivion has everything to be serious. Resumption is only their first album, but it showcases every element of a mature band, which knows to melt its influences to create a vortex of heady intensity.” – Acta Infernalis

“c’est toujours de plus en plus lourd” – Ondes Chocs

“Heavy as f*ck, catchy when it shouldn’t be, immense instrumentation and tons of energy, this is a very fine melodic death metal release.” – Games, Brrraaains & A Headbanging-Life

Formed in 2009 in Regina, Canada, Kelevra continues to supply a serious dose of progressive metal to the masses. Since releasing their debut EP “Overthrown” in 2013, and follow-up EP entitled “Lividity” in 2016, the band has developed a loyal, local fan base, and continues to spread the noise outside of their prairie hometown. Their third album “Oneiric” is set for release on March 8, 2024, and it takes us through some of Kelevra’s best work to date – thoroughly aggressive yet at times epic and heartfelt. They are unveiling the album artwork along with the opportunity to pre-order to get fans ready for engaging lyrics, powerful riffs, and dynamic time signatures. The band shares what listeners can look forward to:

“Every track on the album contributes to a very unique product overall that is hard to categorize within a specific metal subgenre. The album is very heavy-hitting, while still incorporating catchy melodies and epic mellow passages. We think fans will take interest in the constant change of pace and will continue to look forward to each and every riff.”

With this album, which was both deliberate and coincidental in the writing process, Kelevra will be providing listeners with an experience that leaves them on the edge of their seats. Each song is crafted to take the listener on a progressive metal journey from beginning to end. Despite each song being very unique from the rest, together the tracklist presents itself as a cohesive and complete package.

The entire Kelevra catalog, especially the songs found on “Oneiric”, feature distinct and significant contributions from every member of the band. This dynamic has introduced three unique styles of lyricism, some songs express personal battles and experiences, while others demonstrate fictional and non-fictional storytelling. “Oneiric” is not a concept album by any means, but each song was written with the other songs in mind to ensure there is a consistent sound and message from front to back. Recommended for anyone who enjoys adventurous and progressive metal, Kelevra is best suited for fans of Threat Signal, Chimaira, and Lamb of God.

The band will be unleashing their first single “The Distance” accompanied by a music video in the coming week and fans can a sneak peek via its teaser at https://youtu.be/JSY73r2ATm4

Running on the strong momentum of their sophomore album “From the Ashes” released during April 2023, along with multiple cross-Canada tours and a performance at Loud As Hell festival, Edmonton’s Fall Of Earth is unveiling their latest music video for the track “The Dead and The Soon To Be”.

“We are very proud to present the official video for “The Dead and The Soon To Be”, from our latest album “From The Ashes”. Ever since its conception, this has been one of our favourite tracks and a live staple for us. We were thrilled to have had the opportunity to capture the essence of this track by working with videographer Derek Kovacevic. As the song is about life being short and unfortunate with most people throwing it away before it’s too late, the comedic approach to this video was appreciated by all of us as we all need to enjoy the little things in life.” adds the band.

Watch the video for “The Dead and The Soon To Be” via its premiere on Bravewords HERE.

Fall of Earth has embraced labeling itself as “Hybrid Metal”, as its sound is a contagious mélange of genres, that is continuously being refined. The primary elements come from progressive, death, and thrash, and over time, they find a lot of their tracks becoming longer, more epic, and more dynamic becoming more melodic and groove-oriented, as well as utilizing a healthy balance between heavy sections and clean sections. The latest iteration of the Canadian quartet can be experienced with their recently released sophomore album “From the Ashes”.

Since writing this second album, Fall OF Earth says that they have a better understanding of what they want their music to become and where to steer the direction of their future works. All across the board, their lyrics come from a very personal place and hold a serious connotation.

Creative, unpredictable, and melodic, with a wide variety of influences, Fall Of Earth offers a little bit of something for everyone.

“Fresh Tracks: Fall of Earth offers a smorgasboard of metal on From the Ashes… What if a band took numerous metal genres and combined them to form a monstrous kaiju ? This is the modus operandi of Edmonton’s Fall of Earth. Known more succinctly as “hybrid metal,” Fall of Earth’s sound encompasses death, thrash, progressive, metalcore; you name it, they have it cranked to 11″ – Edmonton Journal

“From the Ashes is an impressive album that showcases Fall of Earth’s growth as musicians and their ability to create powerful, impactful music. The band’s unique sound and technical skill are on full display, and Rye’s vocals are a standout feature throughout the album. From the Ashes is a must-listen for any Metal fan, and Fall of Earth is a band to keep an eye on in the future. Look for them on tour in Canada and many other places.” – Metal Express Radio

“A young and rising Canadian Progressive Death Metal and Metalcore act will attack your senses mercilessly with their incendiary and very personal sophomore album.” – The Headbanging Moose

“A young and rising band from Edmonton kicked some ass armed with their Progressive Death Metal and Metalcore where rock will never die in Toronto last night…. if they’re playing in your city anytime soon don’t miss the chance to watch one of the most promising names from the Canadian Prairies.” – Headbanging Moose (Live Review – June 18, 2023 – Toronto – The Rockpile)

“Whether you see them on stage on the screen, Fall of Earth is truly a force of nature and if you’re looking for one of Canada’s next big metal bands right before they blow up, look no further!” – Dropout Ent. (Live Review – Toronto – June 2023)

“It is an extreme variety of the form we get here, and one that at the core level is defined by seamless transitions between extreme metal, thrash metal and power metal. But in between we also get quirkier parts more aligned with progressive metal, and more interestingly from a progressive point of view we also get a liberal array of acoustic and semi-acoustic passages and interludes with a more delicate and atmospheric laden style, form and orientation. The vocals come with the same amount of versatility, with harsh and melodic lead vocals being the main forms used. A production to seek out by those with an interest in a powerful and vibrant variety of extreme progressive metal expanded with a liberal array of delicate and atmospheric laden interludes.” – Progressor

“Progressive metal, with a bit of a tech death thing going on. clean and harsh vox. cool stuff” – WORT 89.9 FM (Madison, WI)

“The nine songs present some real diversity in the genre by embracing several different approaches” – Metal Temple

“Listen to Fall of Earth lead singer Alex Rye belt out the title track of the metal band’s sophomore album, From the Ashes, and you’d swear it was Beelzebub himself growling and grunting from the bowls of hell. Then hear Rye’s speak over the phone. No demonic images whatsoever. Just the sound of a well-spoken young man sporting a velvety voice that would be right at home accompanying a mainstream ad plugging the latest in SUVs.” – Sault Star (Sault Ste. Marie, ON)

“Fall of Earth coming to Victoria – Hybrid metal is sure to electrify the crowds… To say Fall of Earth is a work in progress is anything but a negative review of this immensely talented group of musicians.” – Monday Magazine (Victoria, BC)

“a mélange of genres with elements of progressive, death, and thrash.” – Penticton Western News (Penticton, BC)

“hybrid-metal heroes… It’s not your average Canadian band that can secure opening-support slots for popular American extreme-metal acts as Metal Blade recording artists Allegaeon, but then again Fall of Earth is certainly not your average Canadian band.” – E-Know (Cranbrook, BC)

“For Edmonton’s Fall of Earth, the Road to Purgatory is one that they’ve decided will take them across the country.” – Barrie Today (Barrie, ON)

STRIKER’s New Music Video Captures ’80s Saxophone Metal At Its Best!

Seventh Studio Album “ULTRAPOWER” Out Feb 2024

Produced by Josh Schroeder (Lorna Shore, Tallah, King 810)

Remember the glory days of the ’80s…. and the world’s most jacked and shirtless saxophone player Tim Cappello (Tina Turner, 1987 vampire film The Lost Boys)…? Well, the shred masters in Striker have resurrected that nostalgic sound from those iconic years with their saxophone mashup track “Give It All” beautifully wrapped up in a retro-fitting music video that can be viewed below.

“‘Give it All’ is a song written for the soundtrack of an 80s action movie that doesn’t exist. It’s for the kid risking it all to win the big game, or the down-and-out cop that’s gotta push it to the limit to survive.” adds the band.

Watch the video for “Give It All” at https://youtu.be/jRKsJp49Lwc

Spotify – https://spoti.fi/48z6X2b

This latest single from Striker is off their forthcoming new album “ULTRAPOWER” produced with Josh Schroeder (Lorna Shore, Tallah, King 810) and due out on February 2, 2024. The seventh full-length from Striker follows their Juno Award-winning self-released record “Play to Win” (2018) unleashed on their label Record Breaking Records and features the band’s latest lineup addition of long-time friend and guitarist John Simon Fallon (The Order of Chaos).

With the band writing material since 2018, “ULTRAPOWER” is a collection of Striker tinkering and exploring new avenues. From the album’s opening track “Circle of Evil”, a Malmsteen-esque metal banger about secret societies and the evil dealings behind closed doors to their previously released single “BEST of the BEST of the BEST” serving up some big riffs and hockey arena vocals to “Blood Magic”, which might be one of Striker‘s most progressive songs, taking cues from bands like King Diamond, with its unconventional structure and punctuated guitar solos. From the band delving into their obsession for late 80s AOR and pop rock with “City Calling”, an ode to 1987, and bands like Toto and Kenny Loggins with their hook-powered albums. To fans experiencing the band’s first attempt at a synth-wave track with “Live to Fight Another Day”, this new offering sees Striker making a shredding love letter to the hard-rocking era of guilty pleasures.

The band comments on the upcoming album:

“Starting with the album cover, we wanted the artwork to represent how we feel as a band right now. We are an engine that is fired up and ready to roll. We’re made of metal and our circuits gleam! The album itself is an amalgamation of 5 years of writing and exploring music. With influences from AOR to Speed Metal, Hardcore to Hair Metal, Steely Dan to Deathcore, you name it, it made its way into the album. In the end with the help of Josh Schroeder’s guiding hand, we melted it all together to present something uniquely Striker. Lyrically we’ve stuck to the Striker tradition of writing montage songs for movies that don’t exist, songs about our spiraling serfdom, and lyrics about the evils that lurk in the shadows.”

“ULTRAPOWER” is due out on February 2, 2024, and is available for pre-order at http://kck.st/3P6Gws6

“Play to Win, which might be their most balanced effort yet. It’s their most catchy, too: the likelihood you’ll be singing along with every song before they finish is very, very high.” – Metal Sucks

“expertly combined killer arena rock choruses with well-done, cleaner verses.” – Metal Injection

“Six albums in six years. That is something almost unheard of, even in the modern era of production that considerably lessens the time needed to record and mix albums. Striker always seems to provide a new album right around when I start to wonder, “Hey, I wonder what Striker is up to?”. PLAY TO WIN is the band’s 6th LP and to my ears, one of their best. Rest assured, the band has not altered their sound. This is still classic metal, mixed with modern elements that continues to leave all pretenders in a cloud of choking dust.” – Metal Rules

“You can hear influences ranging from Dokken to Metallica on Play to Win, and it’s all done with masterful songwriting, performances and production. This is a slick, aggressively-mixed record that drips with excitement and replayability… Striker have produced their best record since City of Gold, and all fans of straight-up hard rock and metal need to own this album.” – Heavy Music HQ

“Striker have knocked this one out of the park and into the stratosphere. You’d be hard-pressed to find a catchier slice of fine cheddar this year, and I’d highly recommend it.” – New Noise Mag

“STRIKER have done it again. They hath given unto thee one monster of a metal album that simply begs to be put on REPEAT.” – Amps And Green Screens

““Catchy choruses, well-crafted riffs and squealing solos are woven throughout… Play to Win is another solid effort from Striker.” – The Metal Crypt

“Striker gush with so much enthusiasm here, with explosive riffs swirling between the vibrant harmonies and choruses, that it’s hard not to notice…Tracks like “Former Glory” and “Born to Lose” are anthemic, catchy as hell and feature soaring vocals from Dan Cleary and terrific guitar work by Tim Brown…On Striker, the band take a host of influences and hone them into a sound they can call their own.” – Exclaim!

“From the first storm-summoning power chord on the opener Former Glory, Striker (CAN) proves their new album’s initial claim of not dwelling on the past, a high and appropriate cry of “Yeah, I’m back again!”… If you haven’t witnessed this inspiring resurrection of classic metal, the band plays Friday, April 14 at Starlite with Ravenous and Tylor Dory Trio, no doubt sharpened from the faithful overseas audiences.” – Edmonton Journal

Wacken Metal Battle Canada Champs STRIGAMPIRE’s New Music Video “Brave The Tempest” Is A Dark Energetic Death Metal Force

New Album “All To Dominate” Out Now!

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

The future looks incredibly promising for Canadian metal act Strigampire, who has just recently released their third album “All To Dominate” in December. This comes after they played the monolithic Wacken Festival this past summer, a spot they earned as the 2023 Canadian Wacken Metal Battle champs. The record is a musical explosion that straddles the line between death metal and black metal, and the newest single “Brave The Tempest”, is a melancholic track that offers melodic introspection. Vocalist Steve DC shares his thoughts:

“In the final track of the album, I share my perspective on the importance of being attentive to external signs that indicate the need for a change in order to achieve inner well-being. There is a slower-paced refrain, tinged with melancholy, where hope and determination linger. This song encourages us to rise up and confront life with a determined attitude. I quickly got to the refrain to explain why, in my opinion, it’s our ballad, but in reality, the song is very energetic and mainly composed of catchy riffs.”

Watch the music video for “Brave The Tempest” via its premiere on Lambgoat HERE.

Compared to their previous releases, Strigampire has maintained a similar recipe while also reinventing themselves a bit. Some songs have a more black metal style, others lean towards rock; some are highly aggressive, while others are more melodic and tempered. Even though it remains melodic and has nothing to do with mathcore or technical death metal, we showcase each member’s musical skills through frantic guitar solos and high-energy drum rhythms.

Get ready to be transported into a whirlwind of raw energy and incendiary riffs because the best is yet to come for this exceptional band. Released on December 15, 2023, “All To Dominate” is recommended for fans of Cradle Of Filth, Dark Tranquillity, and Children Of Bodom.

“All To Dominate” is available at the following links:

“Feverishly jittery riffing, a booming low-end pulse, and bestial snarls build anticipation for what’s to come, and what comes is a rushing phalanx of jolting grooves, slashing and searing chords, riotously swirling leads, and scorch-the-earth vocals. The song (Sold Our Soul) hammers the pulse, and there’s abundant devilry in it too, as well as near-sung gang yells, tumbling percussive fills, deliriously exultant soloing that soars to screaming heights — and a break for a beer. But there’s a kind of mystical melodic line that also slithers through the heavy metal exultation until the soloing rockets it high.” – NoCleanSinging

“Hailing from Trois-Riviers, Quebec, Strigampire were this year’s Canadian Wacken Battle winners. So, belated congrats to them for that. The second feather in this year’s successful cap has been added with the forthcoming release of their latest and third full length, All to Dominate. Weaving in a variety of extreme styles under a banner of extensive melodic crafting and the sense that they are the life of any party they RSVP to, Strigampire (the name is a combination of the Italian word for “witch” and the English word for “vampire”) offers up a seat on a carousel powered by rapid fire compositions, shredding guitars and a vocalist who’d just as tickle your funny bone as bounce a hammer off it. Think Children of Bodom, Arch Enemy, At the Gates, Dimmu Borgir and Cradle of Filth.” – Decibel Magazine

“Huit albums métal à découvrir en décembre…. Strigampire All To Dominate” – Thorium Magazine

“This has a bit of a Children of Bodom vibe, melodic, keyboardy, catchy and heavy thrashy too.” – The Mosh Pit – WORT 89.9 FM (Madison, WI)

“Five years beyond the last album One Fix, Nine Clouds & Six Feet Deep, Strigampire appeals to a great cross-section of underground (and above) metalheads through the work present on All to Dominate. Prepare to be devastated in a firestorm and crawl out in survival mode to these songs – as the future looks quite bright for these musicians. 8.5/10” – Ded Rhetoric

“”All To Dominate” is a solid release, especially for fans of Dark Tranquility and At The Gates.” – Amplified-Magazin

“All in all, the new STRIGAMPIRE silver disc still impressively underlines why the five-piece won the preliminary decision for the Wacken Metal Battle Canada. With their mix of melodic black and death metal, which is driven forward by a very pronounced rock DNA, the Canadians have a very unique mix of styles with them…. you have to put the quintet on your musical notepad for the future. 8/10” – PowerMetal.de

“For a band hovering in the darker sides of metal, the songs are surprisingly upbeat. It’s often the vocals that sound the darkest and more extreme—here we have a cross between melodic death growls and black metal screeches. The songs are fast and melodic, and I found it very hard to sit still while listening to them as they all, without exception, just get you going —prepare for intense headbanging, air guitaring, maybe trying to sing along, or at the very least get the foot tapping. My favourite song is “Sold Our Soul”; the beginning always makes me stop whatever I’m doing, and then it’s just headbanging frenzy. The songs have kind of a European power metal energy to them: fast (I’ve said that), heavy, pounding, and very catchy. If they used cleaner vocals, I wouldn’t be surprised if heavy/power metallers who don’t mind harsher, rougher music would get into this, though I would advise the band not to try that—the vocal style is a perfect match for their music. The album ends with a cover of AC/DC’s “T.N.T.”, probably my second favourite (as of this writing) as it is an excellent cover of that classic song. The vocals here are different, a good hybrid of the harsh style and that of Bon Scott’s—definitely interesting, and the band’s rendition of the song is fucking excellent. I think Bon Scott would approve… Fucking good stuff, and no wonder they won that Wacken contest with such quality material. 4.75/5″ – The Metal Crypt

Unleashing their thrash madness this past September on Exitus Stratagem Records with their latest EP “Below The Summit”, Israel’s Sinnery was forced to take down the music as war broke out. Ready to re-upload their latest headbangers, the band announces that thrash fans can rejoice as the music is now back on all digital platforms as of January 16th, 2024 along with it being available on CD and Vinyl.

Spotify – https://spoti.fi/3vEGZfb

Apple Music – https://apple.co/3ShenRN

Vinyl – https://bit.ly/48xO9jQ

CD – https://bit.ly/3TUPKM8

The EP picks up where Sinnery‘s 2022 album “Black Bile” left off, continuing their self-actualization journey through searing guitar work, pummeling basslines, and vocals that cut through like a razor. “Below the Summit” is a very fast-paced piece of music where a lot is happening all at once. It’s a journey further into the minds of Sinnery, the music and lyrics are a barrage of exactly what they feel in the most authentic and exaggerated way pummeling the listener with a wall of intensity. It is a very human experience that has been etched into this recording, detailing the strange times we are currently living through. The band comments:

“This record marks another important milestone in our lives and careers as we continue to explore further and expand the horizons of what Sinnery’s music can be. We put a lot of thought and effort into Below The Summit to try and get everything we can into it. We sat for hours producing it and sharpening every riff or word in it to make it an experience like we never did before. BTS is a moment in time when we didn’t know exactly how things will turn out for us, we were isolated in our homes when we began writing this, sharing ideas from afar. It was a special experience for us to write this record like this and we feel like we really put that into it.”

On this EP, Sinnery introduces new drummer Liam Fine who has written and recorded on the EP all while learning the band’s older material. In just four months Liam learned 19 songs and wrote four more. Doing so much all at once is probably the most “Sinnery” thing that could have happened to anyone joining in.

“Below the Summit” was mixed and mastered by Arie Aranovich and the album artwork was done by Xul1349 and inspired by a famous Japanese painting called “Thunderstorm Beneath The Summit” by legendary artist Katsushika Hokusai. The EP is recommended for fans of Sylosis, Metallica, and Power Trip.

“Fans of Kreator, Testament, The Haunted, Nuclear Assault and Exodus hopefully gathered ‘round and checked the band out, if not because they deliver thrash with passionate fierceness and frantic ferocity, but because it’s always interesting to check out what’s emerging from smaller and more obscure metal scenes from other corners of the globe.” – Decibel Magazine

“As we’ve come to expect from Sinnery, the EP is an electrifying high-speed romp, packed to the brim with blistering and bludgeoning drumwork, earth-moving bass-lines, blazing and eviscerating riffage, and strikingly intense vocals that manifest in different ways, from hardcore screaming to death metal roars and wrenching singing. But, also as expected, Sinnery switch things up as they fly. The opener “Somber“, for example, is a full-throttle and heavy-grooved assault, and a great example of Sinnery‘s incendiary intensity, but when the tremolo’d riffing and glittering lead-work take a bleak and even anguished turn, you understand the song’s name. It’s also a vivid example of why no one who’s heard Sinnery would ever brand them as “party thrash”. There’s too much passion in the music that’s born of difficulty and dismay.” – No Clean Singing

“the Israeli thrashers continue to slash open skin with voracious riffs and terrorising intensity on all fronts, even if one of the tracks is a very short interlude piece. ‘Somber ‘ smashes into the listener with full force vitriol ,super aggressive vocals, and that sense of nihilistic violence. The short fade-in to ‘An Ode (Knife Of Erato)’ gives you about five seconds breathing space before the song lacerates with acerbic riffing and caustic vocals. There is a brief semi-acoustic segment which leads into a tuneful bridging riff that I really like here and the EP spits out ‘Share This’ after the short interlude. Its incendiary attack is typical of the band’s wrathful intent and the EP closes with a very different tune called ‘Serene’. Its calm start leads into a slower riff where the far more casual and melodic approach is still balanced by harsh vocals which may indicate the direction the band will be going in future. 8/10” – Powerplay Magazine UK

“Israel’s Sinnery sound like they’d have been more at home in the New Wave Of American Heavy Metal. This mixes the best of 2000s metal core and latter-day Trivium across four high-adrenaline tracks.” – Metal Hammer UK

“the EP offers the finest Thrash Metal a la Trivium, Power Trip or Gojira. Every song pushes hard, backed up with Death Metal-like screams and plenty of tempo. A foretaste of a hopefully forthcoming album. I give it 8 out of 10 Hellfire points” – Hellfire Magazin

“”Sinnery’s “Below The Summit” is a solid concentrate of uncompromising Thrash, ready to destroy everything in its path. 4/5″ – Music Waves

“After their 2022 album ‘Black Bile’ this is a welcome return and is showing that Sinnery have got the talent to become bigger. Let’s hope for another full album soon. If it’s anything like this it will be special. 8/10” – My Global Mind

“Sinnery know how to go hard and deliver a crashing and banging level of thrash noise, with this EP serving as mighty example of that. Five tracks of dazzling speed, frenetic riffs, and pounding drums, all while the vocals roar and shout with pointed aggression. If you’re not head banging like crazy to the opening track Somber, there might be something wrong with you.” – Games Brrraaains & Headbanging-Life

“Comparisons have been drawn with Trivium and Power Trip, but it’s to Sinnery’s credit that they sound like no one but themselves, they’ve developed a signature sound that melds death and thrash to great effect, and Below The Summit finds Sinnery rising majestically.” – Devolution Magazine

“Those who live for a great amalgamation across the progressive, extreme, modern, and thrash genres may find Sinnery with Below the Summit very intriguing. A good teaser for what could be a blockbuster third album if these gentlemen push themselves into the right live show/festival action.” – Dead Rhetoric

“Only a year following the sludgy death-thrash Black Bile record, this new EP brings even greater amounts of energy and aggression.” – Metal Has No Borders (Album of the Month (Honorable Mentions))

“Full of passion, energy, and commitment, Sinnery have produced a fine EP which they can be rightly proud of.” – Ever-Metal

Moncton’s OMNIVIDE’s Debut Progressive Album “A Tale of Fire” Makes An Impressive Introduction With “Holy Killer”

Debut Full-Length “A Tale Of Fire” Out March 22, 2024

In 2020, Moncton, Canada’s progressive metal band Omnivide emerged from the remnants of the Opeth Tribute project called Sunbird. Seeking to move beyond paying homage to their influences, they dedicated themselves to crafting a unique sound all their own. The results of this hard work are being presented this spring with their debut album “A Tale of Fire”, which balances heavy, technical, and symphonic elements in a cohesive and intriguing progressive package. The first single, “Holy Killer” was one of the first tracks written as a band and it makes sense that it is the initial introduction many will have to Omnivide. The band explains:

“This song was written early in the album-making process and was one of those songs that helped us define our sound. The song tells the story of a man who has done terrible deeds in his lifetime in the name of the deities he worships, expecting a place amongst those deities in the afterlife. The song reflects this dark theme melodically, being composed of dark, grandiose sections and more brutal, in-your-face riffing that illustrate the various stages of this story.“

Watch and listen to “Holy Killer” via its lyric video premiere on TheCirclePit at https://youtu.be/gwIYIHQK_i0

Single pre-save (Spotify) – https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/omnivide/holy-killer

With this album, Omnivide is trying to provide a musical journey that people can listen through from start to finish while remaining engaged. The highs and lows in intensity and the various emotional tones of the songs, which range from dark and brutal to emotional and beautiful, provide contrasts that keep things interesting and moving.

Omnivide wants listeners to feel the pure excitement and energy of their heavier sections, moments later vibe to a beautiful clean section, and the compounding effect of those contrasting parts resulting in a unique experience that is deeply satisfying and rewarding musically. Suitable for a wide range of metalheads, “A Tale of Fire” is most recommended for fans of Obscura, The Black Dahlia Murder, and Opeth.

Due out on March 22, 2024, “A Tale of Fire” is available for album pre-save at https://linktr.ee/omnivide.

Track Listing:
1. Clarity – 6:44
2. Opulence – 4.48
3. Desolate – 7:35
4. A Tale of Fire – 5:05
5. Cosmic Convergence – 5:04
6. Holy Killer – 5:06
7. Death Be Not Proud – 6:32
8. Stoned Dragon – 7:45
