About:

Protosequence is a reference to the original genome where all life began — much like the band, which existed in principle before they even had a presence. Each of the members were lying in wait to be activated and become the strain that is now Protosequence. Kyle Hunter (guitar) was constantly crafting near-complete songs that were ready to be realized. It did not take long for Kyle and Logan Vars (drums) to finally meet. It seemed as though there were two projects destined to combine into a singular effort to form the final line-up for the band: Logan (drums), Kyle (guitar), Parker (guitar), Joseph (vocals), and Ryan (ex-bassist). Members have a long history in the Edmonton music scene, playing in bands like Anubian and In The Midst Of A Murder since the early 2000s.

The band draws influence from acts like All Shall Perish, August Burns Red, and The Black Dahlia Murder. With a foothold on their influences, they root their music in technicality while layering emotional, yet gruff vocals weaved into every track.The band transitions seamlessly through djent riffs, grinding drums, and groove elements, making their sound versatile and ever-changing. Each live performance is crafted like an album played from front to back, with each song bearing a story and painting the room like a canvas — leaving the colours and experiences on each audience member.

The band is currently planning to release another EP as a follow up to their 2016 release ‘Schizophrene’ that will be announced early 2017.

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – May 19, 2017

 

For Fans of Emperor, Suffocation, Death, Diabolic, Gorguts, Hate Eternal

Antichrist Mag Premiere Extreme Metal Duo DEITY “Beginning of Extinction”

Debut Self-Titled Album Out June 2nd

L-R – John Massey – Vocals/Guitars, Danny Alessandro – Vocals/Guitars

The brainchild of Danny Alessandro (guitars/vocals) and John Massey (guitars/vocals), Toronto death metal duo DEITY has been a long time coming. Inspired by Suffocation, Emperor, Death, Slayer and Immortal and describing their music as ‘relentless, powerful, intriguing, honest and revitalizing’, DEITY has produced a truly special debut self-titled album due out June 2, 2017.

“We formed about 15 years ago…Myself and John have always been the core of Deity. We had both been working on other projects till we felt the need to finally go in and finish this album about 3 years ago. We’ve known each other for about 20 years. We got tired of working on metal that wasn’t true to us. This is an album we’ve always wanted to hear!” comments Danny Alessandro.

The self-titled debut features eight brutal assaults that include session drums done by Flo Mounier (Cryptopsy) plus session bass by Flo Ravet (ex-Nephelium) along with the album being mixed and mastered by Chris Donaldson (Cryptopsy, The Agonist) and produced by Danny Alessandro and Joey Virgilio.

Teaming up with Antichrist Magazine, the duo premieres their second single “Beginning of Exctinction”.

“Beginning of Extinction came about during a jam session between Danny and I. As I played a few riffs, Danny played off of those and that’s how we ended up with the tune. The concept behind it was similar to what Dante and Virgil experienced through the Inferno. Our goal was for the individual to have that mindset as if they were witnessing the end of times. The lyrical themes were inspired by Hate Eternal/Morbid Angel while having that musical infusion of brutality, melody and complexity.” comments John Massey.



“Beginning of Extinction” can be heard at http://antichristmagazine.com/song-premiere-deity-beginning-of-extinction/

and first single “Sacrificium” can be heard here.

With the completion of DEITY‘s debut self-titled album, the extreme duo, Danny and John are looking forward to taking their sound to live stages in Toronto, Montreal and beyond. Watch this pair, because DEITY are a band that deserve to break out of the studio into the live arena!

2. Beginning Of Extinction (8:18)

4. From Which We Came, We Now Return (8:40)

“This beast (Razor Blade Regrets) is a mid-pace rumbling steamroller pierced by shattering, acid-spewing shrieks and wild howls, and following a bridge, it punches into destructive nail-gunning mode as well. Heavy-grooved and battering, it’s an infectious, high-energy track.” – No Clean Singing

“Bringing a groove side of heavy metal and death metal, Nuclear Oath is giving you a punch and a dance with their new song and NSFW artwork ‘Razor Blade Regrets‘” – Musicology


“They were super professional from start to finish when they filled in on short notice for a show we had a cancellation on, including playing a wicked set of modern thrash that the crowd responded to big time. Would book them again. I’ve also played them on the air and will play them again on the podcast too. Thumbs up from CC Getty!” – C.C Getty (MetalHeads United)

 
“Nuclear Oath are a tight , high energy act with a professional attitude and good stage etiquette (in terms of set-up, tear down) and I’d be pleased to recommend them for a slot on Armstrong 2017” – Joshua Wood – CJSW – Megwatt Mayhem / Metal-Rules.com
 
“I really enjoyed working with Nuclear Oath when I booked them in Edmonton. They have an energetic and terrifying live show and great attitudes! They had an incredible ability to read the crowd and really cater the show to fit what the audience wanted. I would happily book them again and again.” – Cara Ashbey (Odessa Management)
 
“Hard as fuck no bull shit metal” – Mark Russell (Calgary Beercore/ Citizen Rage)
 
“Intense live band, wicked songs with a high energy sound and stage performance that the crowd can really get into. They treat their band as professionally as they can and are very easy going guys who are fun to work with.” – Nate Reno (Calgary Metalfest)

Montreal Alt-Rockers THE RISING FEW Post Time Lapse Mural Video For New EP “Adult Entertainment”

Montreal EP Launch Presented by Hennessy – May 26th @ Le Plateau Lounge

The EP is now available as of May 12th on iTunes, Spotify and all major online retailers.In support of the EP, vocalist and illustrator Karim Terouz has put together a time lapse video painting a mural of the release’s cover artwork to background samples of their new tracks.

In additional news, those local to Montreal are invited to the band’s FREE entrance CD launch presented by Hennessy at Le Plateau Lounge (901 Rue du Square-Victoria) on May 26th. THE RISING FEW will be joined by friends Po Lazarus opening the event with an acoustic set. The launch will also be in a gallery-like setting with a hand drawn replica of the massive mural painted by THE RISING FEW vocalist Karim Terouz (watch here) up for auction along with installation art. Plus on location at the event, THE RISING FEW will be joined by The Vocalist Magazine, the Bell Media documentary show that highlights Montreal artists on Bell Fibe TV.

About “Adult Entertainment”:

Cairo born singer-songwriter, Karim Terouz, fronts the now expanded THE RISING FEW, a culturally diverse group of Montreal musicians from scattered points of the world (Haiti, France, Syria, Canada, Brazil, Armenia and Egypt) that seem to converge in their shared love for melodically constructed, Springsteen inflicted rock and roll storytelling.

With their new EP, ‘Adult Entertainment’, the follow up to their 2014 debut album “Sinners On St-Laurent’”, THE RISING FEW have transitioned from their beginnings as a folky local singer songwriter/backing band to stadium-worthy rock for the world’s global mainstream stage.

Delusional behavior is the main theme driving this new EP’s lyrical and musical content. Songs like “Big Boy Games” illustrate the act of treason while ‘’The Sinking of The I’m Alone’’ depicts the historical sinking of the Canadian schooner the ‘’I’m Alone’’ during the prohibition era. Other songs like the hypnotic “Try Try Again” flirts with the delusion of failure while the subtle ‘’Lights and Shadows’’ tackles melancholy in love-loss, as you cannot fight without loving. The generous EP also contains 2 additional bonus tracks.

“It was GO BIG or GO HOME! We’re all recent immigrants to Canada and in a time where cultural differences are threatened, THE RISING FEW take the chance to promote their unity, by tackling these issues and presenting them in classy, colorful, adult contemporary rock.” says Karim Terouz.

Track Listing:

1. Try Try Again (Gonna Need A Helping Hand) (4:24)
2. Gullible (4:08)
3. The Sinking of The I’m Alone (3:22)
4. Big Boy Games (2:52)
5. Save Yourself (2:52)
6. Lights And Shadows (5:16)
7.Try Try Again (Bonus) (3:40)
8. Hit The Monarchy (Bonus) (2:46)

EP Length: 29.24

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – May 17, 2017

For fans of  Ghost, Mastodon, Opeth, Agent Fresco

Montreal’s ECKMAN DREDGE Premiere Debut Single “Get Away Closer’ On PureGrainAudio

The mysterious mind of Montreal’s Eckman Dredge is finally being revealed with the debut of his first single “Get Away Closer” premiered on PureGrainAudio.com. The track off his forthcoming debut self-titled album produced by Glen Robinson (Voivod, GWAR) with mastering by Howie Weinberg (Nirvana, Muse) and is planned for release later this fall 2017.

“On behalf of myself and the wonderful musicians I serve with, thank you for engaging with our music. The opportunity to connect with people is why we do what we do. Love always!” – Eckman Dredge.

Listen to “Get Away Closer” at the the following link: http://puregrainaudio.com/audio/eckman-dredge-unveils-stream-of-new-single-get-away-closer-exclusive-premiere 

To Eckman Dredge, the world is a strange and dangerous place. But those of courage can break through its placid surface and peer at the naked mystery of life. They can open their eyes and escape the dull monotony of an existence lived as it is served. They can reach out and hold firm to that which lies beyond; pulling themselves along. And what do they see out there? A chance, an opportunity. A burning moment of singular choice that can reveal a path of discovery beyond the shackles of assumption.

Welcome to the journeys of one who lives beyond. These are the experiences of a man; of a warrior wandering the planes of greater realities. This is the journey of Eckman Dredge. For him, and those like him, there are no guarantees. Nothing is given. But out here there is hope; a march towards revelations that lie beyond the horizon. His music; built from a world beyond the one we know; let it take you. Let it push you beyond the limits of yourself. Join him as he plunges headlong into the unknown. Out here the risks are great and deadly. But ahead there is light. Just ahead there is the brightness of day. And that is where we are headed. So sit up, take heart, and follow him to a place beyond the stars.

As Eckman Dredge continues his journey, his experiences find rhythm through a band bearing his name. They pull his message from their instruments and envelope those with an ear for it. One of their first performances where they will preview Eckman Dredge‘s material will be in Montreal on July 17th at Piranha Bar supporting Cave of Swimmers.

Show Dates:
July 17 – Piranha Bar – Montreal, QC w/ Cave of Swimmers

Vancouver Alt-Rockers WITHIN RUST Premiere “What You’re After” via WinnieCooper.net

     Everyone loves a good Rhodes piano sound and Vancouver, BC genre-averse rockers WITHIN RUST threw every fancy composition that popped in their head to write a new suave indie pop track entitled “What You’re After” premiering exclusively on WinnieCooper.net.

Vocalist Nolen Scott comments:
“We made a point of writing a type of song that we haven’t written before to jump start our creative juices. We also wrote the song as a “kind of halfway point” to a follow up to 2016 LP ‘Light and Shadow’.”
The new single is produced by Tom Dobzranski (The Zolas, Said The Whale, We Are The City) at Monarch Studio and mastered by Brock Mcfarlane at CPS Mastering.  The track starts with a dance indebted interlude, before jumping ship to a hook laden intro and is about love and loss, particularly the realization that two people might be absolutely terrible for one another. Coupled with shimmering Police-esque guitar lines from Matt Gage, John Waldock’s (bass / additional keys) unwavering focus, powerful drum chops from newly welcomed member Eric Twemlow, and Nolen Scott’s (vocals / keys) soaring highs and crooned anguish, the song ultimately explodes into a brilliantly choreographed finish, joined with a sense of acceptance.

BIO:Within Rust is an explosive rock band drawing from the worlds of indie, prog, punk and pop, ready to bleed with expert musicianship. Once named #3 release of the week by Alan Cross in his A Journal Of Musical Things, with 2015 single “Surfacing”, and picking up reviews from as far as Germany’s powermetal.de for 2016 full length “Light and Shadow” the band trudges on.  The band started 2017 off by polishing off “What You’re After”, a track dripping with ‘prog goes pop’ 80’s nostalgia, with Tom Dobrzanski (The Zolas, Said The Whale, We Are The City) at Monarch Studios and has achieved limited airplay on commercial and college radio across North America.

0 Reminder – Kicking Off This Week – BC/AB Dates – Chilean/Canadian Thrashers SOCIAL ARSONIST

  • May 15, 2017

  • · Music News · Social Arsonist

(contact info below)

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – May 2017

For fans of Lamb of God, Shadows Fall, In Flames, Early Classic Thrash of the Big 4

Reminder – Kicking Off This Week – BC/AB Dates – Chilean/Canadian Thrashers SOCIAL ARSONIST



    Chilean/Canadian thrash hybrid SOCIAL ARSONIST will be hitting the road for dates across British Columbia and Alberta for the month of May, which will then be followed by a tour of Chile and a return to Canada to perform at the Loud As Hell festival in Drumheller, AB (full dates listed below).

Formed in Chile in 2009 by bassist Dario Zuniga and guitarist Manuel Morgado, the two musicians were unable to locate the perfect vocalist in their home country and turned the World Wide Web. Finding Canadian singer Cayle Charlton, the duo worked with him for years via the internet, honing their material before taking the ultimate step of relocating to Canada.

With a full line up in Vancouver, BC, the fiery crucible of Chilean thrash met the icy cauldron of Canadian metal to create an explosive storm built on a foundation of classic thrash and modern metal resulting in two releases. Their 2016 full length ‘Duality of Perception’ and 2014 debut EP ‘De-Evolution of Thy Self’ both demonstrate the hardship of the band’s sound that is aggressive, fast, intense, catchy and disruptive.

Bassist Dario Zuniga reveals that SOCIAL ARSONIST are inspired by subjects beyond metal clichés.

“The whole album carries the Social Arsonist aggression and message of rebellion and anguish against the institutionalization of society plus we have a wide range of influences, including a South American flavouring that everyone seems to enjoy, and coming from South America just to play our music in Canada, we put a lot of effort and passion into our performance!”

Upon arriving to retrieve the artifact, it became apparent that Eryos’s brother Nathyiem would never make it to their arranged meeting point.  In departing from the planet Vaath, Eryos received a distress signal from his brother’s ship, coming from an uncharted planet.  Upon arriving, he found a odd world inhabited by a mysterious species called the Dreth led by lecherous matriarch named Eishar.  It is here that he would uncover a faced-door, an inter-dimensional gateway to the Ender.

RAPHEUMETS WELL has released two singles off the upcoming album, which can be heard at the following links.

About:

Inspired by the fictitious universe of Sovael, RAPHEUMETS WELL is the name coined to the conscious deity who oversees the anastomosis of the multiverse, the master of portals and inter-dimensional travel.  Being personified as a trickster, Rapheumet often creates chaos for unsuspecting voyagers.  The word “Well” refers to the gravity wells, which like black holes, are catalyst of change and gateways between the cosmic plains.

Formed in 2008, 2011 and 2012 saw their first two demos followed by their first self release full length ‘Dimensions’ unleashed in 2014 that progressively told a larger story portrayed in a complex saga of Atai (ancient architects) who aid in the propagation of sentient life throughout the multi-verse. In 2016, they released their highly praised sophomore album ‘The Exile’ via Test Your Metal Records.

Now in 2017, from the birth of organic matter to great wars that tear the fabric of space/time, the story of RAPHEUMETS WELL‘s music serves to immerse you into a world of oddities once again with the band’s third release ‘Enders Door’ due out on May 26th via Test Your Metal Records.

“Hickory, NC’s Rapheumets Well(pronounced Ra-few-mets) is a band heavily steeped in science fiction and fantasy. And when I say heavily, I mean HEAVILY. They slam dunk their lushly orchestral and luxurious symphonic melodic blackened death metal into a fantastical and fantastically creative and complex world that I don’t even want to embarrass myself trying to explain. But, you gotta give mad ol’ props to any band willing to dive head first into something as elaborately conceptual as this costumed and inventive septet have from the off.” – Decibel Magazine

“if you like the theatrical havoc generated by Fleshgod Apocalypse and Dimmu Borgir, for example, you’ll fall in love for the music found in The Exile, the brand new concept album by the symphonic horde known as Rapheumets Well. ” – The Headbanging Moose

“As you’re about to find out, this first song from the new album combines turbocharged death metal vehemence with sweeping orchestral melodies, interweaving blazing drumwork and rapid-fire riffing with cosmic synthesizer vistas and fluid soloing, vicious growls and hair-raising shrieks with a vaulting clean-sung passage that coincides with the protagonist’s decision to end his apathy.” – No Clean Singing

“The Exilebrings symphonic elements to more intense and sometimes speedy death metal. Solid bursts of adrenaline, with the symphonies effectively working to provide a balance to these heavier moments, as heard in “The Epic of Darmak.” But the band is more than a one-trick pony, and frequently gives way to other flights of fancy while keeping the death metal sharp…an album that is well-written and enjoyable from start to finish. The potential is there for the band to really spread their wings for album number three.” – Dead Rhetoric

About:

Divinity, based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, started in 1997 and began playing live shows in 1999. In 2001, the band released its first EP album called “Intensify” which received a lot of local (Canadian) praise after sending in a couple songs to BWBK’s ‘Knuckletrack’ CD sampler. A music video was released for the song “World of Pain” in 2003 and the band played local shows building its show experience.

Fast forward to 2007, Divinity independently releases their first full-length album called “Allegory” and is picked up by Nuclear Blast Records just 3 months after the independent release. Obviously, this was a major turning point for the band!

In 2008, Divinity took on its first major tour by joining the Summer Slaughter Canada tour. This gave them the opportunity to connect to high-calibre booking agents and other acts such as Dying Fetus, Whitechapel, and Necrophagist.

In 2009, Divinity spent it’s time creating their 2nd full-length album, called “The Singularity” which was released under Candlelight Records with a very positive response from numerous reviewers and listeners.

Since the release of The Singularity, Divinity has toured Canada numerous times over and has received massive support and praise from around the world.

The band is currently releasing a trilogy EP concept album now turned into a full-length LP, called ‘The Immortalist’ available May 26th, 2017 at all digital music stores and as a special limited run CD Digipak.

“Divinity are an insanely talented band who’ve just released an amazing album that just isn’t getting the attention it deserves. I was listening to the full album yesterday on my iPod… and “fucking wow” is still about all I can come up with. It’s it’s complex, it’s progressive, it’s deep, it’s brutal, it’s shreddy, it’s hooky, it’s artsy… it’s everything you (I) want a metal record to be. Every musician in the band is top-notch, including vocalist Sean Jenkins with whom I’m especially impressed (this from a guy who ordinarily doesn’t focus on vocals).” – Metalsucks.net

“Canada’s metal wizards Divinity have just released a vibrant, explosive video for “Lay In The Bed You’ve Made,” from the band’s Candlelight Records debut The Singularity.” – Guitar World

“DIVINITY: F*CKING WOW…Divinity definitely make my balls quiver.” – Metalsucks.net

“Technical death metal fans will find Divinity to be a hybrid of several genres that all have a hand in formulating the band’s sonic reverence. From soft piano to sky-raising clean vocals, every attempt is made to show that monotony and predictability is not in Divinity’s DNA.” – Metal Underground

“Divinity is easily among Canada’s elite bands (along with Into Eternity for example) that have that the new ‘Western Canadian’ sound that morphs Death, Thrash, Prog and crazy chops into one sweet package.” – Metal-Rules
