NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – November 2, 2022

Quebec’s NOVA SPEI Will Not Tolerate Violence Against Women In New Music Video “La Proie” (The Prey)

Launch Fundraiser For Women’s Shelter LE FAR

Trois-Rivieres, QC’s Nova Spei released their second album “Sequentis” in November 2021 via Quebec label Bam&Co-Heavy. The record has many messages, and their latest music video “La Proie”, translated to English, means The Prey and is a song that denounces and sensitizes in a clear and straightforward way that violence against women will not be tolerated.

The band comments:

“La Proie is the final chapter of a trilogy started by the song “Assez” and followed by “Sorcière”. This video talks about domestic violence against women who, too often, try to save a bad person who, in the end, does not want to change. The synopsis of this music video is Mr. Green is back home and turns against his wife who, after all these years, has tried everything to make him a better man.”

In addition to releasing the music video, Nova Spei has teamed up with the Trois-Rivieres, QC women’s shelter Maison Le Far and looking to raise $3000 in funds between November 2nd to the 25th to help the organization that aids women and children in the region who need a place to take refuge in the event of abuse and physical violence.

The final amount raised will be announced on November 25, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women.

Montreal, QC – November 25, 2021

Bam&Co.Heavy – Canada’s Nova Spei Drop New Video “Sorcière” Off New Album “Sequentis”

“Sorcière” is the third single off of Quebec’s Nova Spei recently released second album “Sequentis”. This sophomore record is more cohesive than their previous one, their 2017 self-titled debut. On this new album, they stay high energy, focusing on how they will translate their music to the stage.

The majority of Nova Spei’s lyrics focus on relatable experiences that people have regularly in their lives. They describe the meaning behind “Sorcière”:

“We created this album as a more ‘’metal’’ album, with lots of energy and powerful riffs. The summary of the single is that it represents our vices, our weaknesses, which can lead to an unhealthy relationship.”

A groovy undertone meets progressive, catchy riffs, compiled with aggressive vocals belting out the French lyrics. It’s accessible, but edgy enough to suit a discerning metalhead. It is heavier than their previous one, but will still be familiar to their current fans. They have a wide range of influences that combine to result in memorable, heavy music.

The djenty French metal is recommended for fans of Architects, Gojira and Deftones.

The music video for “Sorcière” can be seen and heard via its premiere on TheCirclePit YouTube channel – https://youtu.be/KfPMCk2tj4I

“Sequentis” is now out via Quebec label Bam&Co-Heavy. The album was written and produced by Nova Spei plus mixed and mastered by Anthony Chognard along with the album artwork done by Filip Ivanovic.

“Génération Perdue is about having less and less human relationships, we are hidden behind our screens, becoming more and more individualistic. Digitalisé describes the human being as becoming a perishable product. We take what we need and throw it away as soon as it is consumed, the human being becomes cold and digitized. Nouvel Espoir is about when we unite, we are stronger than anything. By coming together, looking out for one another, we can build a better world.”

According to the band, this album is more metal than the last, complete with heavy riffs, a mix of clean and guttural vocals, and catchy hooks that are easy to get into. To make their music founder and rhythm guitarist Dany Soucy mainly composes the music and brings it to the band. Everyone proposes their modifications and composes their own parts. Once the music is done, vocalist Dany Duplessis starts writing the lyrics inspired by the music. Then Soucy and Nicolas Dumais (bass) help finish them. For this album, drums were performed and recorded in France by Julien De Carufel.

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – October 15, 2021

Montreal’s NOVA SPEI New Music Video “Assez” Off Upcoming Album “Sequentis”

New Album “Sequentis” Out November 12 via Bam&Co-Heavy

Nova Spei has a second single “Assez” coming out, complete with a new music video. This is following the first unveiled track “Qui Sème Le Vent”, which was well-received by fans and media. Having been out of the scene for many years, Nova Spei came together to fill the gap with their unique blend of groovy, djenty and progressive metal.

With each of the twelve songs on the album, Nova Spei tries to give the listener something to reflect on, basing their lyrics on common events that people experience throughout their lives. The songs are high-energy and ready for live performance as soon as it is possible to do so. They explain the single and the album in their own words:

“Assez denounces those who use a cause to embellish their images but who do not do what they advocate. The first album didn’t have the cohesion that this one has. For “Sequentis” we really work together, combine all our influences, and give our best to each part of the song.”

Nova Spei was started by Dany Soucy who is the main songwriter for the band, with Dany Duplessis doing the majority of lyric writing, they ultimately work together collaboratively with each member adding their own touch on the final product.

Those who are intrigued by this release won’t have to wait too long for a follow-up, as the band is already talking about the next album.

Accessible and thoughtful, Nova Spei caters to a wide assortment of listeners, especially fans of Gojira, Deftones, and Tesseract.

The music video for “Assez” can be watched and heard at https://youtu.be/K1gm_Z0KCB0

Montreal’s NOVA SPEI Announces New Album “Sequentis” + New Single “Qui Sème Le Vent”

New Album “Sequentis” Out November 12 via Bam&Co-Heavy

Nova Spei is a Francophone groove metal band from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. They are releasing their second album “Sequentis” this November via label Bam&Co-Heavy. The 12 track record comes in at just over 45 minutes of music spanning a wide range of metal influences.

The current lineup consists of Dany Soucy (Rhythm Guitarist), Dany Duplessis (Vocals), Julien De Carufel (Drums), Nicolas Dumais (Bass/Back Vocal) and Stéphane Filion (Lead Guitarist).

4. No matter you use a standard guitar bridge or an EverTune bridge, Keep your guitar in tune!! That’s the line we heard the most while recording.
5. “Nouvel Espoir” was lyrically written after a joke while touring in 2019 with Anonymus with DanDup acting like a Preacher telling us we were the church of the New Hope.

=============================

The album as a whole:
Lyrically the album describes Nova Spei’s vision of society, sometimes critical, but not pessimistic. They try to wake people and to be better. Musically, lots of good riffs, many guitar solos, punchy sounds, and groove beats. They try to make it easy listening, but keep it cool to play.

Track by track explained by the band.
1. Animal
“Animal” talks about pushing our limits, it is about surpassing oneself, motivation, strength and relentlessness to achieve our goals.
2. Assez
“Assez” denounces those who use a cause to embellish their images but who do not do what they advocate.
3. Génération perdu
We have fewer and fewer human relationships, hidden behind our screens, more and more individualistic.
4. La proie
“La proie” denounces and sensitizes in a clear and straightforward way violence against women.
5. Sorcière
“Sorcière” represents our vices, our weaknesses, the witch can also be an unhealthy relationship.
6. Digitalisés
The human being has become a perishable product. We take what we need and throw it away as soon as it is consumed, the human being becomes cold and digitized.
7. Mal incarné
It’s hard to express the pain, the despair. Often it stays with us and eats away at us from within. The song is about that feeling.
8. Damné
This one talks about resilience, to stay strong and upright despite hardships.
9. Nouvel Espoir
When we unite, we are stronger than anything. By coming together, looking out for one another, we can build a better world. This is “Nouvel Espoir”.
10. Tête Dure
We often say that we learn from our mistakes. But nobody ever learns, it’s “Tête Dure”.
11. Qui Sème le vent
Some people despise others, they have no respect for their neighbors. But sooner or later the wind picks up and they reap what they sowed.
12. Démocratie bafoué.
The feeling of being flouted by the system, regardless of the political party, it’s all the same.
