Beat The Heat With The Dead Centuries’ New Summer Single “Crystal Summer” Featuring Jacob Umansky (Intervals)

Premiere Video via TheCirclePit

Back in June, The Dead Centuries released their catchy sun-baked song “Pop a Soda”, and their second summer single “Crystal Summer” is ready for ears as of August 28, 2020.

Energetic, and uplifting, The Dead Centuries continue to provide the soundtrack for an awesome summer with hook oriented, melody-driven songs. They agree that this is the best material that they have released to date and they explain their musical journey in their own words:

“The idea behind ‘Crystal Summer’ was to release a track that has an upbeat, summer vibe (hence the name) that is in line with what we’ve done with our previous single “Pop A Soda”. We also shot a guitar playthrough video to add a visual element to the song, and our goal was to invoke feelings of fun, relaxation, and summertime.”

“Crystal Summer” features a solo piano introduction that establishes one of the main melodies of the song. This song builds on the foundation that they’ve laid down with “Pop A Soda”. Once again the inclusion of Jacob Umansky (Intervals/JIA) on bass brings another element to the track that helped them get closer to their vision.

With plans to keep releasing singles, The Dead Centuries is a band to keep an ear out for. They are recommended for fans of Intervals, Plini and Polyphia, and anyone else who likes melodic and technical tunes.

“Crystal Summer” can be heard via TheCirclePit‘s YouTube channel HERE.

About:

Visionary and highly influential writer Michael Moorcock, who worked with the bands Hawkwind and Blue Oyster Cult, memorably stated that ‘it is the business of the future to be dangerous.’

Ottawa three-piece The Dead Centuries are both futuristic and dangerous…which is as it should be. Influenced by Protest The Hero, Periphery, Paul Gilbert, Sithu Aye and Intervals, The Dead Centuries can easily hold their heads up in such exalted company. In their current form, The Dead Centuries compose and perform technically precise instrumental music, rich in virtuosity, melody, compositional skills, and most importantly…they create superb music to listen to. This isn’t the sound of three musicians showing off their undoubted skills, rather they are serving their songs above all else, with every fiber of their beings, every neuron firing in their minds, every tendon in their bodies.

In a sense, it is as if the three musicians that make up The Dead Centuries have become one mind in their own music! Adam Tremblett describes the sound of The Dead Centuries as “technical, melodic, energetic, heavy, precise.” Indeed The Dead Centuries are so precise, they are like some kind of cosmic clock; they are always on time.

The Dead Centuries had a natural evolution into the special band they are now, originally consisting of two guitarists, a bassist, female vocalist, and drummer; as members leftover time, those that remained rose to the occasion and created more technical and original music.

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – June 23, 2020

 

For fans of Intervals, Plini, Polyphia, Periphery, CHON

Crack A Cold Beverage And Drink Up Summer With “Pop A Soda” From The Dead Centuries Featuring Jacob Umansky (Intervals)


 

The Dead Centuries have a new standalone single out entitled “Pop A Soda”, it is the first track to be released from the band with guitarist Jacob McSheffrey as a writer. It’s the first step in the direction of more hook oriented, catchy songs.

“We’re extremely excited to release this track as we feel it marks a big step forward in terms of songwriting, composition, playing, and production. We think the sonic depth in “Pop A Soda” is more interesting, ear-catching, and rewarding than previous efforts from the band, and we think listeners will love the caliber of this track. The inclusion of Jacob Umansky (Intervals/JIA) on bass brings another element to the track that helped us get closer to our vision.”

“Pop A Soda” was recorded in Jacob’s home studio, with the exception of bass, which was written and performed by Jacob Umanksy of Intervals. The band reached out to Jacob via email asking if he would provide bass for the track, sent the track over and what you hear on the track is the first take that he sent them. Jacob also provided a video clip of him playing a section of the track, which highlights his unique approach to playing bass.

The Dead Centuries released an EP in 2018, “Race Against Time” and in their opinion, this single is the best material the band has released to date. It is energetic, upbeat, and technical and builds upon the foundation of “Race Against Time” to add more melody, hooks, and catchy riffs, which is what fans have come to expect from The Dead Centuries.

More is to come from The Dead Centuries, as they plan to continue to release singles to keep new fresh music coming to fans, reflecting their ever-evolving approach to music and songwriting.

For fans of Intervals, Plini and Polyphia the video for “Pop A Soda” is on YouTube – HERE.

“One of the nicest things about Pop A Soda is just how upbeat it sounds. The Dead Centuries delivering a track that is smart, progressive and so very catchy. All without a word spoken or sung. It might be my favourite thing they’ve done so far. It has got pace, it has got energy, it has got compelling rhythm and it challenges. Trying to pick apart every individual element will take time. Time you’ll be more than glad to give to this track. The very moment it ends you’ll be hitting play again… and again… and again. It’s damn clever and that damn good.” – Games, Brains & A Headbanging Life

“Entirely recorded and produced by the band themselves along with Jacob Umansky of Intervals on bass, their intention is to inject you with some life and positive vibes as the summer approaches us. Despite the upbeat tone of the song, the band members have ensured not to compromise any of their musical integrity, with “Pop a Soda” featuring a large quantity of the technicality which was unmistakable on Race Against Time.” – V13

“High energy instrumental metal, The Dead Centuries are all about massive hooks, futuristic riffs & technical melody. Opener Freddie Lounds is rich in skill, showcasing how a trio’s different abilities can combine to make something that sounds so grand & complete.” – Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life (2018 – Album Review – Race Against Time)

“Their music both hits you hard with big metal-infused riffs then provides the musical magic sponge with rich virtuoso, melodic guitar noodling, inspired by the likes of Protest The Hero, Intervals, Plini, Situ Aye, Paul Gilbert and more. It’s simply intoxicating to listen to.” – Gig Radar  (2018 – Album Review – Race Against Time)

“the songs on Race Against Time are exactly what we want from instrumental prog – engaging arrangements with a perfect balance of groove, riffs, and virtuosity, and enough variation to keep us listening through all ten tracks. This is a great start for The Dead Centuries.” – Heavy Music Headquarters (2018 – Album Review – Race Against Time)

“The Dead Centuries deliver a multitude of excellent riffs across the course of this album. This band is a total hook machine, and they accomplish this over a dizzying number styles. Progressive, metalcore, melodeath harmonizing, post-metal: Race Against Time has it all.” – Metal Trenches  (2018 – Album Review – Race Against Time)

“If you want a more complex and technically layered instrumental album, as well as a diverse one that you can either jam to or simply throw on as background noise, this one is for you.” – Canadian Beats  (2018 – Album Review – Race Against Time)

  • · The Dead Centuries
“Having to hold the listener’s attention essentially solely through instrumentals ups the responsibility on instrumental musicians to make something truly memorable, and say what you will, Race Against Time is memorable. The fact that instrumental music can be forceful and engaging just like conventional modern rock music is a real takeaway here.”

“The truth is, though, this is an instrumental set of guitar based numbers. It’s more like a more metal version of Joe Satriani. It’s an intriguing set that manages to entertain while landing more on the technical end of the spectrum. “
