Few bands’ music has ever lived up to their name as much as Tres Thomas’ superb instrumental project INFINITEE; for theirs is an infinity of sounds, a universe of music waiting to be discovered.

Yet there is no self-indulgence, the song is always served. Combining the cranium crunch of Metallica and the progressive flights of fancy of Mastodon, INFINITEE are a truly special act.

Tres Thomas is also guitarist of Tales Of The Tomb. He formed INFINITEE in 2016. It quickly became its own iconoclastic beast, forging its own musical path. Debut album “The Possibilities Are Endless” is only the starting point, INFINITEE have the potential to become huge. Tres explains “the band has somehow evolved its way into the band it is today.”

Inspired by My Chemical Romance, Dance Gavin Dance, Plini, Modern Day Babylon, The Contortionist, Tres describes INFINITEE’s sound as djenty, heavy, dynamic, melodic and progressive.

Stoked for fans to hear INFINITEE’s debut album, Tres comments:

“It will definitely be different! However, the title track ‘The Possibilities Are Endless’ leaves all sorts of possibilities open…no pun intended! Tracks like ‘Xenocybin’, ‘Lost’ and the title track are more metal and conventional with their instrumentation. Tracks like ‘Robots Vs The Wooden Chairs Part 1 and 2 are more influenced by EDM, which has sparked the interest of people who aren’t really a fan of metal or djent, but appreciate the more electronic elements of music. This is basically a battle of robots (electronic made sounds) and the wooden chairs (guitars, bass, drums) that are wooden and made and played by humans!”

Teaming up with PureGrainAudio, INFINITEE are offering fans an exclusive free download of “Robots vs. The Wooden Chairs Pt.2”

“This track is part of the EDM inspired section of the album. This is basically a battle of robots (electronic made sounds) and the wooden chairs (guitars, bass drums, instruments that are wooden and made/ played by humans).” says Tres.

Download it now at http://puregrainaudio.com/audio/infinitee-robots-vs-the-wooden-chairs-pt-2-free-song-download

Fans who will enjoy “The Possibilities Are Endless” when it’s released will also be delighted to know that the possibilities of new music from INFINITEE are also endless as Tres says he has more music to come!

“I have another album ready to record, and I am working on my third. Anything is possible…expect anything!”

INFINITEE’s debut album “The Possibilities Are Endless” is due out April 20, 2018.

Pre-order available on Bandcamp and iTunes.

DECATUR Fight The Demons of Depression In New Video “Worst Enemy” via Bravewords

Debut Album “Badder Than Brooklyn” Out Now!

Produced By Gojira’s Joe Duplantier

Unleashing their debut album “Badder Than Brooklyn” produced by Joe Duplantier of Gojira during October of last year along with a lengthy tour across Canada, Toronto-based metal messiahs DECATUR are kicking off 2018 with the premiere of their new video “Worst Enemy” on Bravewords. The video is a message from the band to conquer the fight against depression and follows the album’s songs of power and empowerment, a clarion call for strength in life’s battles…healing through headbanging.

Vocalist / guitarist Jay Sarrazin comments:

“Worst Enemy was actually the first song I wrote for this album. I was at a pretty dark place in my life at the time. I was struggling with depression and anxiety and was constantly berating myself with negativity. I felt trapped in a box so to speak and I became my own worst enemy. That’s what the song is about and the music video we made emphasizes that emotion of being trapped in that box or in your own head saying all these things to yourself. Throughout the years I have learned to find more coping methods and I am always learning more about myself. Hopefully this song helps other knows they are not alone and to seek help if they need it.”

About:

DECATUR is comprised of Jay “Beard” Sarrazin (Lead Vocals/Guitar), Tiny Basstank (Bass/Backup Vocals), Steve “Animal” Mitchell (Drums/ Backup Vocals), and Liam Maguire (Guitar/Backup Vocals) have sensed the hunger from metal fans for proper metal with real songs, music built on the foundations of the past to last far into the future. Make no mistake, DECATUR are a band that puts the grit into integrity, as guitarist/vocalist Jay ‘Beard’ Sarrazin says, DECATUR make “real metal for real metalheads.”

“Badder Than Brooklyn is one of those wonderful albums that will give you little to complain about…one of the best heavy metal releases this year. Shatterproof & Internal War Pt. 2 confirm this with the former a very traditional & groove-layered slab while the latter goes for a more melodic approach.” Games, Brrrains & A Head-Banging Life

“Badder Than Brooklyn is a solid debut album of modern metal that’s worth seeking out.” – Heavy Metal HQ

“Great for a pounding run or a body-wrecking workout, Badder Than Brooklyn will satisfy fans of metal, hard rock, or good old-fashioned rock and roll.” – Shockwave Mag

“The energy in the room was electrifying, and it was impossible not to mosh and head bang with intense vigour. The band’s connection on stage was infectious, as it was obvious that these guys loved what they were doing and loved doing it together.” – The Phoenix News – Live Review – Kelowna, BC

“Badder Than Brooklyn is a formidable effort by these talented newcomers. Considering the fact that this is their debut album, I most certainly think that they have nailed it. With memorable and we’ll crafted songwriting, if these guys keep up their work I see a bright future ahead if them. Undoubtedly an album that I will recommend for all Thrash/Groove Metal enthusiasts. That being said I hope they will come back even stronger in their sophomore effort for which I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled.” – Metal Centre

“Toronto-based Decatur, with their debut release Badder Than Brooklyn, has created a metal album for metal’s sake, a traditionally fast, heavy riffing, drivingly intense set of tunes to be included on an FM radio station in the next installment of Grand Theft Auto playing between Megadeth’s “Holy War…The Punishment Due”, Metallica’s “Battery”, and right after Pantera’s “Walk”.” – Canadian Beats

“The ten track album is an eclectic powerhouse. ” Groove Talk Podcast

“Intense riffing, heavy drum beats, melodic hooks and dark vocals are what the listener gets offered” – Obliveon.de

0 FALLEN LEGION Are Looking For The “Way Out” via PureGrainAudio; New EP “Downfall” Out May 18th + Announce “The Weekend Warriors Tour”

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – April 5, 2018

For fans of Veil of Maya, Between The Buried And Me, Protest The Hero

FALLEN LEGION Are Looking For The “Way Out” via PureGrainAudio

New EP “Downfall” Out May 18th

Announce “The Weekend Warriors Tour”

John Milton wrote in Paradise Lost; “Let none admire/That Riches Grow in Hell; that soil may best deserve the precious bane…No light but rather only darkness visible/Served only to discover sights of woe.”

Oshawa, ON’s FALLEN LEGION have the potential to live up to Milton’s words and grow their own musical riches in the fertile soil of their own talent.

Since their formation in 2008, FALLEN LEGION have played with bands like Soilwork, Havok, Unearth, Battlecross and 36 Crazy Fists.

FALLEN LEGION have released two well-received demo EPs “Screams From The Dungeon” (2012), “Infinite Archive” (2015) and will be releasing an official EP entitled“Downfall” on May 18th, 2018.

Consisting of Nick Sauter on guitars, Jon Kal on bass, Josh Masterson on vocals and Dylan Waybrant on drums, FALLEN LEGION is inspired by an eclectic metal brigade of Gojira, Korn, Iron Maiden, Dethlok and Antonio Vivaldi for a sound best described as “energetic, unorthodox, progressive, spirited, and memorable”.

Their forthcoming EP is “the journey of a downfall. Going from stable to unbound and the choices that come with the calamity. The single embraces the human struggle and highlights the importance of hope. The EP is about dealing with stress- mortal blows, drugs, thoughts of suicide, the inner struggle, and the wrath of it all. The EP represents the outcome of painful experiences. Songs like ‘Escapegoat’ deal with not being able to handle the consequences of one’s actions and pushing them onto those weaker than yourself.”, and ‘Monster Reborn’-about letting the guilt build up inside, trapping one within their own mental anguish.”

Teaming up with PureGrainAudio.com, FALLEN LEGION are looking for the “Way Out” with the premiere of their first single. Check it out! http://puregrainaudio.com/audio/fallen-legion-unveil-a-way-out-single-stream-off-their-downfall-ep-exclusive-premiere

“Downfall” will be available on May 18th, 2018 for download on all major online retailers along with CD pre-order on the band’s official website here.

NORTH HAMMER Video “Tip of The Spear” Is Ready For Battle via MetalUnderground

Debut Album “Stormcaller” Out Now!

Created by Andrew James of Edmonton, AB’s Eye of Horus and Shotgunner, his new project, one man folk metal band NORTH HAMMER is drawing inspiration from the mighty Quorthon; for Andrew is not so much a one-man band as a one-warrior metal machine. Andrew wrote and recorded the guitar, bass, vocals, and orchestration along with drums done by Doug Helcaraxë Nunez for NORTH HAMMER’s debut album “Stormcaller” recently unleashed on March 16th, 2018.

Inspired by Wintersun, Ensiferum, Amon Amarth, Aether Realm, Blind Guardian, “Stormcaller” is a 21st century continuation of the work of Norse bards with its melodic death metal folk riffs.

“Stormcaller has been quite an adventure in itself to record, many aspects of music I had never even attempted before. From the creation of an over-arching narrative to satisfy lyric content, to writing guitar solos and orchestration, I finally have been able to come out with something that I am so excited to share with you! The experience I’m trying to give the listeners is that of a fellow fan. I want people to be euphoric for other bands that mean something to them like Ensiferum, Wintersun and Amon Amarth. To connect personally with my music and realize that I love and worship these bands.” explains Andrew James.

Teaming up with MetalUnderground.com, NORTH HAMMER is premiering their new video for “Tip of The Spear”http://www.metalunderground.com/news/details.cfm?newsid=139729

Andrew James adds:

“Tip of the Spear is a fight song. The hero heads to a mountain peak rumoured to house an ancient celestial that can provide him with godlike powers that can help him defeat the bestial horde. However, a camp of these foul beasts lay in his path. The hero and his brother’s in arms lead their cavalry to a surprise attack in order to eradicate the menace.”

Album order for NORTH HAMMER’s “Stormcaller” available via Bandcamp here.

Album Full Stream – https://youtu.be/NoTKkfpVmaw

While NORTH HAMMER is a studio project at the moment, Andrew James plans to put together a band of top-notch like-minded musicians for touring in Western Canada and beyond.

1. Avatar (4:46)
2. Wanderer (3:42)
3. Written In The Stars (3:27)

“Canadian outfit North Hammer bring Norse folk influences to melodic death metal on their debut album, Stormcaller. The creation of one Andrew James, Stormcaller takes influence from the likes of Amon Amarth: aggressive and powerful, yet jubilant.”

“The hard-charging melodic death metal of this song is itself heroic in its atmosphere, its darting, folk-influenced riffs, galloping rhythms, fiery soloing, and soaring keyboard melodies summoning mythic images of striving and triumph. While its musical antecedents are indeed clearly identifiable, it’s nonetheless a pulse-pounding, heart-swelling track, and one that proves to be very catchy as well.” – No Clean Singing

“Andrew James’ one-man project from Edmonton, North Hammer enters the heavy metal fray with the crushing debut “Stormcaller.” Especially for a first release, this album is intense, heavy and filled with high quality Ensiferum worship riffage. But North Hammer is not just a clone or a tribute, the sound of the band is clearly defined within the first few tracks and continues to develop and surprise throughout the album.” – CROM Metal

““Wanderer” begins with a Bathory-esque chorus in front of tender acoustics to further exploding into melodeath territories. Riffing comes and go in form of a melody that interwines the next segments of the track, which concludes with a great solo and a nice double bass storm. The composition is dynamic and moving enough, thanks to the mix of the Quorthon worship and the swinging melodic death metal influences.” – Toilet Ov Hell

“Metalheads who are down with the likes of Wintersun, Ensiferum, Amon Amarth, Aether Realm, and/or Blind Guardian should find something to like here.” – PureGrainAudio

“Before you can gather your senses the battle finishes and leaves you bloody, but grinning from ear to ear. NORTH HAMMER have released a blend of catchy folk, death and black metal which will appeal to fans of various extreme metal. The song writing and musicianship on ‘Stormcaller’ is unquestionable and this is a very promising start for NORTH HAMMER and one I hope they can build on for future releases?” – All About The Rock

“what really stands out in Stormcaller are the riffs. Andrew James pulls of some stellar work here, catchy & exciting with each song standing strongly on its own. The blend of folk melody & heavier death-metal sounds great.” – Games Brains & A Head Banging Life

“North Hammer hit all the right notes with ‘Stormcaller’, a strong and swift record full of great tracks and it leaves you invigorating and ready for anything. A record for axe swinging, mead swilling and blood spilling, ‘Stormcaller’ is one of the most fun and fist pumping records you’ll hear this year.” – The Killchain

“For a debut, this is an outstanding album that is full of ferocity. It is fast and loud. You can imagine the headbanging that would go on at one of their shows.” – Baby Dolls And Razor Blades

“Stormcaller is a great Viking metal record made all the more impressive considering it was largely written and performed by just one man. It may not push the boat out, but fans of Amon Amarth will enjoy it a lot.” – Toby Saunders’ Rad Reviews

“I can’t even try and place Within the Giant’s Reach into any genre as they seem to cover most genres in one track. There are elements of Thrash, Death, Death-core, Hardcore and Tech Death. How it is possible to manage this in one track is beyond my imagination. If their forthcoming EP is anything like this track, then I am sure that Within the Giant’s Reach will find themselves a lot of new fans across the globe.” – The Metal Review

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – March 31, 2018

CJLO 1690AM Montreal Unleash Free Metal Compilation “Burned In The Oven: Volume 2”

CJLO 1690AM in Montreal is proud to release Burned In The Oven: Volume 2, their second metal and loud rock compilation, now available for free download at cjlo1690am.bandcamp.com.

Volume two features some of the loudest and hard rocking-est tracks they’ve ever recorded at CJLO. Since this year marks their 20th anniversary, they’ve gone back into their vault and picked some of their favorite tracks from loud artists that have come by and recorded in their in-house recording studio, The Oven.

This compilation is as varied as CJLO’s musical taste, both past and present day. There’s something for everyone in here; the thrash metal of Striker, the punk and grime of Gutser, Indian Handcrafts, and Voltang, the weird spastic electro metal of Genghis Tron, the audio landscapes created by Meinyl or Set and Setting, the wall of noise and fury that is Waingro or just the good old fashioned rock laid down by Heart Attack Kids and Double Experience. There are even some “golden oldies” from the likes of The Bled and Fear Before the March of Flames. They even get a bit softer with the punk dudes from The Motorleague.

Track Listing:

1. The Bled – Hotel Coral Essex

2. Voltang – Lunatic Slick

3. Heart Attack Kids – Platonic Love Bomb

4. Indian Handcrafts – Delete Me

5. Striker – Crossroads

6. Waingro – Raleigh

7. Gutser – Encyclopedia Self-Destructica

8. Set and Setting – Acceptance

9. Fear Before the Marchc of Flames – Epic Song

10. Genghis Tron – Endless Teeth

11. Meinyl – Track 11

12. Double Experience – Gambit

13. The Motorleague – North America

Now of course, there are some bands and subgenres missing… specifically yours! If you’re in a band in or coming to the Montreal area that plays metal or hard rock, get in touch. They’re happy to try to have you come in and lay down some tracks. Regardless of your loud leanings, you’re welcome there.

If you want to send them your music to play or want stop by the station, or want more information, feel free to send an email to md-metal@cjlo.com

Burned In The Oven: Volume 1 is still available for download at https://cjlo1690am.bandcamp.com/album/burned-in-the-oven-volume-1

About CJLO:

Celebrating it’s 20th anniversary this year, CJLO was formed in 1998 and is Concordia University’s radio station.

For 15 years, since early 2003, CJLO has been streaming 7 days a week and for 10 years, since 2008, the station began broadcasting on 1690 AM throughout the Montreal area with 1000 watts of power, and we can be heard as far as Ottawa and Burlington, Vermont.

One hundred percent non-profit, and run almost entirely by volunteers, the station is located in the heart of the NDG borough of Montreal. We have over eighty DJs spinning for your listening pleasure. Whether you are interested in rock, hip hop, RPM, punk, metal, jazz, world music, or talk programming, CJLO has something for you.

“As the evolution of Ominous Eclipse has progressed, the band have hybridized a seething core of death metal sound with elements of thrash, black metal, and melodic death metal. But if “The Horde” is a sign of what’s to come next, they’re reaching for new levels of monstrous and electrifying destructiveness.” – No Clean Singing

“The crowd was stellar at Mavericks, where each of the four bands were well represented by their fan bases. Opening on the night were Ominous Eclipse, whose chunky, frantic thrash metal din was led by their howling frontman. Largely drawing from their 2015 album End of Days, the four-piece pounded through six songs, tackling tracks like “Pestilence,” Abandoned” and the album’s particularly solid title track. Helping to limber the crowd for the chaos to come, they called for a “wall of death” in the confines of the club and the fans delivered, clearing the centre of the floor before the opposing sides barrelled into one another, bodies flying everywhere.” – Exclaim! (Live Review opening for Kalmah April 2016)

0 ACCURSED SPAWN Unleash A Brutal Dose of “Bhopal ’84” via Decibel Magazine; Signs To PRC Music For 2019 Debut Album “A Virulent Host”

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – March 29, 2018

For fans of Cannibal Corpse, Decapitated, Suffocation, Beyond Creation, Obscura, Dying Fetus, Quo Vadis

ACCURSED SPAWN Unleash A Brutal Dose of “Bhopal ’84” via Decibel Magazine

Signs To PRC Music For 2019 Debut Album “A Virulent Host”

L-R – Weiyun Lu (Bass), Max Warwick (Vocals), Jay Cross (Drums), Adam Pell (Guitar)

Founded in Ottawa in 2010 with a singular purpose to transform raw aggression into music, ACCURSED SPAWN mixes influences from old and new forms of extreme metal, resulting to date in a renowned energetic live show, and a handful of recorded songs.

Announcing their signing to PRC Music, ACCURSED SPAWN will be unleashing their debut full length “The Virulent Host” next year in 2019. With a unique sound and style that stands apart from the crowd, the full length is the next step in the band’s evolution of musical expression to follows a mix of demos and EPs since 2010.

“We’re incredibly excited to officially call ourselves part of the PRC family! We couldn’t have found a better partner to release The Virulent Host with, and look forward to unleashing this beast upon the world with the help of Rémi and the team at PRC!” says drummer Jay Cross.

“The Virulent Host” is a fiery and passionate take on modern death metal, influenced by thrash and brutal death that stands head and shoulders above many of their contemporaries. The production quality truly stands among the titans of death metal, thanks to Chris Donaldson, guitarist for legendary death metal unit Cryptopsy applying his talents and experience to mix and master the album at The Grid Studios in Montreal, QC. Donaldson has previously worked on records for high profile names such as Cryptopsy, Beyond Creation, Despised Icon, The Agonist, Beneath The Massacre, and Neuraxis. Artwork was done by highly esteemed artist Remy Cooper of Headsplit Design (Origin, Beyond Creation, Psycroptic, Pig Destroyer, Whitechapel, Thy Art Is Murder, Cryptopsy, Suicide Silence, Arch Enemy).

As fans will need to wait till next year for the release of “The Virulent Host”, ACCURSED SPAWN will not let them wait too long to hear the first single off the debut. Partnering up with Decibel Magazine, the band is premiering “Bhopal ’84”, one of nine songs planned to assault fans off the album.

“We want to offer an intense, yet rewarding listening experience for both musicians and non-musicians alike. Fast, dextrous playing coupled with subtly melodic compositions that can be enjoyed by both the trained and untrained ear. Out first single “Bhopal ’84” will give a good deal of insight into what people can expect from this record: it kicks off with blistering guitar and drum work, jumps into a catchy verse, and presents a very slamming bridge near the end of the song, followed by tasty solo work. It has a nice “Suffocation meets Cryptopsy” feel but is still uniquely Accursed Spawn.” adds guitarist Adam Pell.

“Right out of the gate they explode in a brutal, hyper-accelerated frenzy of munitions-grade drumming, machine-gun riffing, and guttural roaring.” – No Clean Singing

“A barrage of thunderous drums is complemented by sometimes intricate guitar work that will just tear you ears apart. These guys barely slow down long enough for you to take half a breath.” – The Metal Crypt

“La formation d’Ottawa performe avec autant d’insistance que dans une grande salle et réussit a inciter des moshpits excitants avec leurs dernières pièces.” – Muzik Injection
