SHORES OF NULL Shares New Live In Munich Video “Quiescent”

New Live Album “Beauty Over Europe” Out May 2025

+ Launch CD Pre-Order / Digital Pre-Save

+ EU Tour Dates

Italian melancholic dark metal band Shores Of Null are proud to announce the release of their first live album, “Beauty Over Europe”, set to drop on May 9th, 2025 via Sulphur Music / Masked Dead Records.

The live album features 10 tracks recorded during their monumental 2023 European tour with Swallow The Sun, Draconian, and Avatarium. Throughout that tour, Shores of Null performed 35 shows across 18 countries, including Norway, Denmark, Germany, the UK, Ireland, France, Italy, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Hungary, bringing their critically acclaimed album “The Loss Of Beauty” to the stage.

The live recordings, captured in the cities of Leipzig, Munich, Aschaffenburg, Budapest, and Belfast, preserve the raw and emotive energy of their performances. Each track reflects the band’s ability to blend melancholic melodies with crushing heaviness, offering fans a visceral live experience.

“Beauty Over Europe” is both a celebration of the tour and a gift to all fans of the band. Exactly two years after that unforgettable journey, this live album offers a chance to relive the emotional intensity and true essence of Shores Of Null’s live performances.

Reflecting on the experience, vocalist Davide Straccione shared:

“Our 2023 European tour with Swallow The Sun, Draconian, and Avatarium was one of the most beautiful and intense experiences of my life. Night after night, we poured everything we had into our performances, connecting deeply with audiences across 18 countries. This live album is our way of preserving and sharing that beauty, not only as a gift to those who joined us in the crowd but also for those who couldn’t be there to witness it.”

A live version of their song “Quiescent”, recorded in Munich, is now available on all major streaming platforms and YouTube, accompanied by an exclusive video featuring live and behind-the-scenes footage from the tour.

About:

Shores of Null stand out from their contemporaries with their ability to blend seemingly disparate elements into their sound, overwhelmingly heavy and soothing at the same time: blackened aggression stands alongside gothic-doom sections without either sounding out of place. Their music can be both melancholic yet majestic, made of chorale-like guitar textures across the instrument’s entire range, sustained by a powerful rhythmic section and punctuated by a refined mixture of clean and growled vocals, along with extensive use of pleasing vocal harmonies which have become the band’s trademark through the years.

The Rome-based metal band has been an unwavering presence within the metal underground since their musical outset in 2013, churning out a series of impressive records: the melodic and somber “Quiescence” (Candlelight, 2014), the darker and more complex “Black Drapes For Tomorrow” (Candlelight/Spinefarm, 2017), and the ambitious “Beyond The Shores (On Death And Dying)” (Spikerot Records, 2020), a 38-minute long doom manifesto that sees guest appearances of the doom-titans Mikko Kotamäki (Swallow The Sun) and Thomas A.G. Jensen (Saturnus), along with the angelic voice of Elisabetta Marchetti (Inno).

Shores Of Null’s fourth album, “The Loss Of Beauty”, released in March 2023, was hailed as one of the best albums of the year within the genre. The band supported the release with an extensive EU/UK tour alongside Swallow The Sun, Draconian, and Avatarium, followed by standout performances at major festivals like Hellfest, Rock Imperium, and 70000 Tons Of Metal among others, further solidifying their status as one of the rising forces in the metal scene.

“The Loss of Beauty is an incredibly strong and versatile album, on which themes known from genres such as post black metal or post punk are presented in a diverse and varied manner.” – BetreutesProggen (13/15)

“Once again, Shores of Null continue to impress with yet another slab of high-quality doom/death that seems the quintet on an upwards trajectory.” – Angry Metal Guy (4/5)

Canada’s CHÜZO Unchain Menacing New Video “Brutalator”

New EP “M.T.M.D (Maximum Threshold, Minimum Decay)” Out Now!

Produced by Kevin Jardine (Slaves On Dope)

Canadian aggro-metal CHÜZO is unshackling their menacing new video for the track “Brutalator” from their latest EP “M.T.M.D (Maximum Threshold, Minimum Decay)” released this past October and produced with Kevin Jardine (Slaves On Dope, Uplift Recording Studio).

The song is about the “Brutalor”, a character that comes to each town or village to reclaim social justice to anyone who has been mistreated by greedy and evil parts of humanity.

Guitarist Cristian S explains further:

“The Brutalator” is the opening track of our latest EP, “M.T.M.D.” (Maximum Threshold, Minimum Decay). This song was a collaboration between Carlos G., Mischa M., and I, Cristian S., the leader and founder of CHÜZO, after spending about a year experimenting with its structure. The arrangement was developed by Carlos and me, but it lacked lyrics for quite some time because I struggled to find the right phrasing and inspiration. After rehearsing the song for a while and having a profound discussion with Mischa about anti-heroes and other tracks in Metal, such as “The Wizard” by Black Sabbath or “Edgecrusher” by Fear Factory, Mischa crafted the lyrics that would become the final version for “Brutalator.” Her lyrics tell the story of an anti-hero betrayed by life and loved ones, discarded and mistreated—a constant victim of societal injustices. Bound by honor and revenge, he trains himself and returns to fulfill the wishes of the unfairly treated, the exploited, and the oppressed of an unjust society, seeking vengeance and enforcing his version of justice against those who instigate injustices against the weak and abused. Her lyrics perfectly complement the song structure, giving birth to our best track. She also created the intro, a beautiful piano arrangement that sets the tone for the song.

Watch and listen to “Brutalator” via its premiere on IDIOTEQ HERE. 

CHÜZO‘s new EP “M.T.M.D (Maximum Threshold, Minimum Decay)” is a three-track record that marks the next chapter and a true representation of what the quartet’s sound is meant to be.

“This new EP was to showcase our new lineup with our newest songs that are truly representative of our musical style, a style that we proudly call ‘Aggro-Metal.’ Very aggressive metal songs that have relatable themes that anyone can listen to and understand. This EP is our audio shotgun blast to the world to pay attention to and to mosh intensively during our live sets,” adds guitarist Cristian S.

CHÜZO‘s new lineup features the ensnaring vocals of Taiwanese Brazilian transplant Mischa M joining local first-generation Chilean Canadian and mastermind Cristian S. along with Carlos G from Venezuela and Alex S from Russia who all have found Montreal, Canada to be their home-to-breed their blender of grindcore, Swedish death metal, thrash, and hardcore punk to transform a sub-genre dubbed ‘Aggro Metal’.

The EP’s lyrics are driven by self-reflection and daily struggles. The inspiration for writing comes from life experiences and trying to live past them, especially the traumatic ones. Using all the bad energy from bad experiences to create something positive for yourself and the world. This EP speaks of vengeance and the bad side of dedicating your life to achieving your desired revenge despite your own life and sanity. Brutal Social Justice.

For fans of Sepultura (Cavalera Bros era 84-96), At the Gates, Napalm Death, Slipknot, and Fuck the Facts, “M.T.M.D (Maximum Threshold, Minimum Decay)” was released on November 15, 2024.

Canadian College Radio Loud Charts – December 2024 – top 20 loud #20 – CHÜZO – M.T.M.D.

“‘A Brazilian vocalist, a Chilean guitarist, a Russian bassist and a Venezuelan drummer walk into a Montreal metal bar’ might sound like the beginning of a borderline funny joke, but it, in a roundabout way, speaks to the christening of thrash, punk, death-beat quartet CHÜZO. The band’s latest EP — M.T.M.D.(Maximum Threshold, Minimum Decay) — is the latest in a long line of releases since forming in 2020 and sees the light of day today. The band has a lot to say about their latest endeavour, but fans of old Sepultura, Napalm Death, At the Gates and Fuck the Facts should find something of interest ” – Decibel Magazine

““Bruised and Broken” is definitely a rager. Mischa and Christian belt out the words in a tandem of furious screams and monstrous roars. Behind them, the song discharges high-speed percussive obliteration and punk beats, a violent churn of high-grit riffage, and bowel-loosening bass-quakes. The band also work in mean-eyed slashing chugs, a brutalizing breakdown that seems to get more thuggish but no less head-hooking as the seconds pass, an explosion of boiling and battering grindcore mayhem, and another hardcore beatdown that’s probably a sure-fire mosh trigger in a live show — with Mischa‘s screaming voice still coming for your throat with no-holds-barred intensity. Just this one song proves that for Chüzo the label “Aggro Metal” isn’t false advertising. It’s a gut-slugging, bone-smashing, vocally blistering, and viciously eviscerating outburst, and it also proves to be a pretty addictive piece of rage-fueled catharsis too. Speaking of live shows, the video gives a good sense of what the band’s live sets are about, and a good sense of how much fun they had beating the shit out of things in that rage cage.” – No Clean Singing

“The band has just released M.T.M.D., an acronym that stands for Maximum Threshold, Minimum Decay, to testify how high the group’s ambitions are. The perspective could at first glance be assimilated to that of the variegated groove metal universe, but on closer inspection there is much more in the folds of the individual songs, characterized by the desire to release vital energy and give voice to impulses, emotions, feelings. The sound matrix is brutal, at times unstoppable, and characterized by the fierce performance of the gritty Mischa Mai microphones: combining power, imagination and a pinch of healthy madness the quartet gave full demonstration of their qualities.” – Rock Hard Italy
​
“M.T.M.D is a crucial chapter in Chüzo’s evolution, showcasing a lineup that’s finally found its voice. Their journey is a testament to the transformative power of music and the ability to channel personal struggles into a collective outcry for justice.” – Amplify The Noise
​
“It might be something of a cliché but it remains true; this isn’t simply an EP. It’s a promo for helping Chüzo find a major label for a debut full length… [8/10]” – Metal Noise
​
“CHÜZO have achieved several things on “MTMD (Maximum Threshold, Minimum Decay)” that other bands dream of for an entire career. On the one hand, the clever balancing act is impressive between old school credibility and new school influences. A factor that plays a striking role in the overall absolutely high-class work is that Canadians walk in a straightforward and focused manner in the ear. The three songs on the EP entitled “MTMD” are fast-paced in nature, mill into the ear canals at massive speed and –’s most important aspect – remains there… The EP is catchy, intense and yet has matured, multi-layered and serious Half-life to be equipped. Conclusion: Check in, buy, leave, killer!” – Metal Division Magazine​
​​
​“Their common points: knowing how to intelligently mix the best of grindcore mixed with Swedish death, with a touch of hardcore thrash from a punk perspective. Chüzo calls his music, « Aggro Metal ». The theme of their songs, telling their life experiences, shouting their anger at the traumas experienced. The kind of text that allows you to let off steam and make yourself understood even if you have gaps in English. Chüzo is a sort of best of aggressive metal music with this vengeful punk attitude: Chüzo would be a disciple of Napalm Death. Damn their music is good to hear. For fans of Sepultura and the Cavalera brothers, Chüzo is for you, Cristian S. sings with the same kind of vocal intonation as Max C. For Christmas, I would like Chüzo to tour the old continent within the next 2 years. If I had the means, I would participate financially in their future tour. There are small (et larger) concert halls waiting for you. The day we can do a concert at the Kjbi, Chuzo is automatically on the bill” – Margoth PDF Webzine

+ Ontario Tour Dates

In 2020, the Ottawa rock duo Double Experience took everything they knew about music – thousands of international concerts, presenting at industry conferences, and writing songs inspired by video games and film – and channeled their process into a series of livestreams. The result? A crowdfunded album – consisting largely of spontaneous suggestions from Twitch users – called “Undefeated” released in May 2024 via their indie label Colfax Music Ltd.. Nearly a year after its release, Double Experience’s modern rock opus is now nominated for a 2025 Ottawa Capital Music Award for Album of the Year.

“WE’RE NOMINATED: “Undefeated” is up for “Album of the Year”. This is a huge honour, especially considering the nature in which this album was created via our Twitch channel.” adds the band.

Double Experience are nominated alongside the following artists listed below. More info on 2025 nominees can be found at at https://ottawamic.com/cma​

Album of the Year | Album de l’année *Public vote | Vote du public​
Show Love – Kellylee Evans
Undefeated – Double Experience
To Be Clear – Mia Kelly
Love & Patience – Country Club Pool Boy
Hugging the Cactus – Twin Flames

The Capital Music Awards will be held on May 22nd, 2025 at Southham Hall at the National Arts Centre (1 Elgin Street) in Ottawa, ON. Details at https://ottawamic.com/​

By taking influence from Coheed and Cambria, Weezer and Palaye Royale, Double Experience bounce between sounds in a quest to compose music as diverse as an arcade gallery. In doing so, Double Experience have bonded with a passionate global fan-base with their undeniable live prowess amounting to nearly 1000 concerts across 18 countries, opening for all manner of acts, from Badflower to Danko Jones, from JJ Wilde to Galactic Empire.

By day, mild-mannered band members Ian Nichols (vocals, bass) and Brock Tinsley (guitar) deliver band-oriented workshops and panels at conferences, conventions and festivals (IndieWeek, MAGFest, Ottawa ComicCon), teaching up-and-coming creatives how to take control of their own destiny in a similar way as the duo’s musical alter-ego. The band have cowritten songs with Jayson DeZuzio (Imagine Dragons) and in 2016, their Destiny-themed anthem “The Glimmer Shot” caught the attention of the game’s developers at Bungie.

Their fourth studio album “Undefeated” (released May 2024 via Colfax Music Ltd.) was inspired by the fans for the fans all through live streaming on Twitch and has all things nerdy and is all about perseverance.

“Ever since writing songs on Twitch, our fans have a day-one connection with the music. No matter how weird or strange the goal might seem, our band is living proof that you can really make a breakthrough if you celebrate what makes you weird or strange, not shy away from it.” comments Double Experience.

California Prog LUNAR Reflects On Painful Memories In “A Summer To Forget” Lyric Video Off New Album “Tempora Mutantur”

ft. members Helion Prime, Beholder, Vis Mystica, Mokili Wa, Nordic Frost, Outloud, Double Vision

Making Live Debut at Hyperspace Metal Festival 2025 (Vancouver, BC) – April 11th

Top 1st Row – Ryan Price – Bass, Alex Bosson – Drums
Middle 2nd Row – Connor McCray – Lead Guitar, Chandler Mogel – Clean Vocals
Bottom 3rd Row – Carlos Alvarez – Rhythm Guitar, Brian Lewis – Growl Vocals, Anthony Stahl – Keyboards

Following the recent release of their emotionally charged concept album “Tempora Mutantur” this past January, Sacramento, USA’s progressive metal collective Lunar unveils their lyric video for “A Summer To Forget”. The final visual installment in the album’s narrative arc promises to be a poignant exploration of memory, loss, and the transformative power of musical storytelling, continuing the band’s unique approach to progressive metal as a form of emotional expression. They comment on the track:

“The album starts off with a song that sounds a bit upbeat musically (heavy with the horns) despite a fairly dark lyrical theme: dealing with memories, how we sometimes forget what we wish we wouldn’t and cling on to what we wish we could forget.”

The track represents a powerful entry point into the album’s complex exploration of temporal experiences and personal transformation. “A Summer To Forget” embodies the band’s commitment to creating music that transcends traditional genre limitations, offering listeners a nuanced journey through personal pain and potential healing.

Continued and driven by drummer and primary songwriter Alex Bosson (Helion Prime, Planeswalker) after the passing of co-band founder Ryan Erwin in 2018, “Tempora Mutantur” is the result of a deeply personal and introspective creative process. The video continues the band’s tradition of transforming personal struggles into universal musical experiences, inviting listeners to find their own emotional resonance within the intricate layers of sound and metaphorical storytelling. Fans of Tool, Porcupine Tree and Ayreon should be among the first to check out this track.

Watch and listen to the lyric video for “A Summer To Forget” via its premiere on Prog-Sphere HERE. ​

Lunar‘s fresh lineup features guitarists Carlos Alvarez and Connor McCray (Vis Mystica) along with keyboardist Anthony Stahl plus album guests Wayne Ingram (Wildrun), Joe Gullace (Thank You Scientist), and Sam Vallen (Caligula’s Horse).

“If you like your progressive metal equal parts weird and rocking then look no further than the latest from Lunar. There’s a little bit of an Opeth vibe sometimes, but like recent Opeth, Lunar have a love for the classics. Tempora Mutantur is a fun one and an early favorite of mine in this new-ish year.” – Metal Injection (2025 -Tempora Mutantur)​
​
​“An album of Progressive Metal with forays into the more technical Death with interesting interweaving of clean and harsh vocal parts, between cantatoed virtuoso instrumental sections. The band confirms the good things heard previously, offering 8 incisive and technical tracks that enhance the compositional and performing technique of the lineup and guests. A recommended listen for lovers of the most Extreme sounds of Progressive Metal with references to bands like Opeth, to start this 2025 at its best.” – Progressive Rock Journal (2025 -Tempora Mutantur)​
​
​“Tempora Mutantur is an impressive concept album – especially when you have in mind that several of the musicians have worked independently and never met… It will be interesting to see what it can develop into when the band finally meet each other for their first live performance in 2025.” – HeavyMetal.dk (2025 -Tempora Mutantur)​
​
​“Their technical ability is right up there with a lot of Progressive musicians” – Metal Temple (2025 -Tempora Mutantur)​
​
​“Progressive music has taken on a form of its own in the metal world over the years. At this point, there are only a few common elements that are present. With Lunar, every album remains progressive, yet is entirely different from each other, and Tempora Mutantur is no exception. One thing you can expect is that it is going to be good, no, great. Tempora Mutantur is Lunar’s fourth album and will be released on January 31st, 2025.” – Metal Nation (2025 -Tempora Mutantur)​
​
​“On each listen I get more out of it and as you can probably tell I think it is excellent. I appreciate that the band have made sure not to attempt to repeat the last album but to try new ideas and give listeners something fresh, new and exciting. The playing is excellent, the use of vocalists works very well and the themes are explored nicely… Considering how amazing “The Illusionist” was says how strong a follow up this album is. Anyone into bands like Dream Theater, Opeth, Haken, Ayreon or Tool should find a lot to enjoy here. This is thoughtful, intelligent, progressive music with words to match and I thoroughly recommend it.” – CGCM Rock Radio (2025 -Tempora Mutantur)​
​
​“New release from progressive collective Lunar drops tomorrow (Jan. 31st)! The new album “Tempora Mutantur” is a dense forest of progressive rock stylings that prog fans can sink their teeth into, the album cut “Weakening Winter Touch” is a favorite from the album that we have been eagerly anticipating adding and you can catch it on your Home for the Best New Rock…” – WJOE – Findlay’s Home for Rock & Roll (2025 -Tempora Mutantur)

“As Lunar get further into their career, they are becoming more agitated, as evident by how assertive the music is on their fourth album, Tempora Mutantur. Their use of two vocalists, one for the melodic content and the other for the growls, is more defined on this record, as they have more of an even partnership than before when the harsh vocals were less prevalent… Though originally conceived as an EP revolving around the four seasons, Tempora Mutantur was expanded with a vaster vision. It happens that this vision has the group at their heaviest, a spot from which they show great confidence. 4/5” – Heavy Music Headquarters (2025 -Tempora Mutantur)​
​
​“Tempora Mutantur is filled with riffs and varied musical styles. They cover everything from clean, beautiful sections to challenging technical sections to prog death metal. Repeated listens are necessary to not only appreciate all that the band is doing on the album, but to learn how to appreciate some of the more challenging passages as well. If you enjoy progressive metal/death metal, I would recommend you give Tempora Mutantur a shot. It may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but if you give it a chance, it is actually a very enjoyable album that will stand the test of time.” – Metal Epidemic (2025 -Tempora Mutantur)​
​
​“Marking their fourth full-length album, I’m happy to conclude that Lunar continues to produce music that very consistently delivers in quality. On Tempora Mutantur, they’ve honed their stylistic influences on a few ideas while treading on looser territory with their songwriting approach. Lunar has brought us a bevy of solid riffs to indulge in with a studio that, I hope in this economy, didn’t cost the band as much as they sound like they do. As time passes and the seasons continue to change I hope Lunar is still in the game for another four releases.” – The Progressive Subway (2025 -Tempora Mutantur)​
​
​“Every Lunar album is a cause for celebration and Tempora Mutantur is another incredible offering from a band becoming a progressive metal powerhouse…. Any fan of progressive metal or extreme metal will yet again find themselves loving what Lunar do, a jukebox of prog metal which kept me loving it throughout. 9/10” – Musipedia of Metal (2025 -Tempora Mutantur)​
​
​“This quality is so high, and the variation as well.” – Melodic.net (2025 -Tempora Mutantur)​
​
​“Album dealing with the effects of time on our body, musically symbolized by this melodic alternation and heavy discharge. On OPETH, HAKEN, TOOL for a varied extreme music that is fun, moving, bestial and takes you to the guts. A sound closer to a VOIVOD than a DREAM THEATER, with Chandler playing on Brian’s growl to give this conglomerate of extreme music, like our personal double facet. A must for extreme fans, a musical danger for the progs of the 70s.” – Profil Prog (2025 -Tempora Mutantur)​
​
​“a fantastic display of Prog for the heaviest of fans to those who just appreciate masterclass musicianship. If you want a tribute to Prog, give this one a listen.” – Heavy Debriefings (2025 -Tempora Mutantur)​
​
​“An album to seek out by those who enjoy a more contemporary oriented variety of progressive metal that comes with 70s progressive rock inspired passages and interludes as a bit of a recurring feature.” – Progressor (2025 – Tempora Mutantur)​
​
​“LUNAR have sure hit on a way to keep you engaged, waiting for the next tonal shift and surprising instrumental variety. Not a flawless album, but a real interesting one.” – Wormwood Chronicles (2025 – Tempora Mutantur)​

“There is not one weak song on the EP. The songs are well crafted and mastered by hugely talented musicians. For me the perfect 10. Can’t wait to see the songs performed live.” – Project Metal Music

“When Humans Defy The Void is, like its creators Vortex, unique, and unlike anything else you have ever heard. It is everything you think it would be, but cranked up to eleven and with more twists and turns than a Raymond Chandler novel, and if this is just a taster of what Alien Realms has to offer, then I can’t wait to be abducted on April 11th.” – Black Metal Archive

“No need to fuck around with this one folks; I loved Alien Realms from the first intense beats of “When Humans Defy the Void” to the fading notes of the haunting “Where Wonders Dwell”. Vortex’s Alien Realms pulls you in with its unpredictable symphonic blackened melodic death metal that blends elements of bands like Mechina, Fleshgod Apocalypse and Behemoth with the likes of Dimmu Borgir, Graveworm and Hermh. Needless to say, this is a DENSE little EP full of some unique metal.” – The Poser’s Graveyard

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

About the EP Artwork:
The concept behind Alien Realms revolves around humanity venturing into space in search of intelligent life. However, they don’t find exactly what they anticipated, and this sense of unexpected discovery is reflected in the artwork.

About the EP:
Alien Realms is a Blackened Death EP that blends massive orchestral elements, soaring epic melodies, and relentless, aggressive riffing.

Track By Track explanation:

1. When Humans Defy The Void

This song is a melodic assault, blending thrash-driven verses, hyper-melodic choruses, and an epic finale, all immersed in grand, sweeping orchestrations. Bold and daring, humans leave Earth in search of intelligent extraterrestrial life. This track is divided into three distinct sections: the thrashy, aggressive verses; the ultra-melodic choruses; and the glorious, epic ending.

2. Haunting the Abyss
‘We traversed the void – Conquered the unknown – But found emptiness – In worlds, we’ve been shown’

This song begins with a melancholic black metal section before transitioning into a verse that I’d describe as a modern death metal take on the main riff of Metal Church by the band of the same name. For this EP, we focused on writing memorable, epic choruses, and this one is a perfect example of that.

3. Ripping the Threads of Reality
We ultimately discover that other intelligent life forms do exist, but they are not where or what we expected. Aliens emerge from other realms that challenge our understanding of physics and consciousness.

Musically, this track is the most blackened death piece of the EP. It’s what I imagine Behemoth or Belphegor would sound like if they had lots of orchestral elements.

4. Where Wonders Dwell
We wanted to close Alien Realms with an epic orchestral track, and this is the result. Once it was complete, we thought it would be even better with female vocals, so we wrote the lyrics and invited Giorgia to sing on it. The song is a departure from our usual style, reflecting the dawn of a new era for mankind.

==================================================
Fun Facts – Story Angles:

1. You must watch the music video for ‘Haunting the Abyss’. There are a couple of scenes where band members are naked on a frozen lake in the snow…. We had to shoot those images bare-naked in January at -10C.

2. One time a girl stripped while moshing in front of the stage, some guy had to take her out of the venue on his shoulders to stop her.

3. None of us fits the ‘regular’ death metal band member stereotype. Many of us have children and we all have jobs most people wouldn’t think were for a death metal musician. We count two business directors, a wind farm manager, a construction project manager, and a music composer in our ranks. Two of the band members are schooled musicians.

4. We have played about 250 shows together until now.

5. We live in a remote area and often drive for 6, 8, 10, and even sometimes more to play a single live show, we are road warriors!!!

6. We are serious and professional, but occasionally some of us really like to party when the show is over. I would have great stories to tell but I’m not sure I should talk about that here…

Vortex is a symphonic Death Metal band from Rimouski, Quebec, Canada, and is comprised of seasoned musicians with an abundance of studio and live experience. Their masterful lyric writing is equally matched with their prowess in devising riffs, and orchestrations.

Vortex music is filled with heavy riffing and melodies, technical vocals, and epic soloing. They will transport the listener into a new world and are recommended for fans of Lorna Shore, Shadow of Intent, Dimmu Borgir, and Cradle of Filth.

In June 2023 Vortex released its third epic concept album set to aggressive and beautiful orchestral melodic death metal with hints of black metal. Each song in “The Future Remains In Oblivion” is one chapter in their well-written sci-fi tale and there is a build-up in intensity and emotion that goes along with the storyline and the lyrics as you traverse the album.

VORTEX is gearing up to release a music video and a new 5-song EP entitled ‘’Alien Realms’’ in April 2025. The band will hit the road alongside the talented band XAON, they will be supporting each other on a tour across Canada in April 2025 and Europe in November 2025.

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

Canadian College Radio Charts – August 2023 – top 20 loud – #14 Vortex (earshot)
“#8 on Top 10 Quebec Band 2023 Albums – The Future Remains In Oblivion delivers a solid punch with their intense and well-felt symphonic death metal and, with a quality product like this, they have nothing to envy of the big names in the genre.” – Thorium Mag
“The Future Remains in Oblivion is the collision zone between powdered wig classical and battle jacketed death metal that should hold appeal for fans of Fleshgod Apocalypse, Septicflesh and those who like their Suffocation mixed with Dimmu Borgir.” – Decibel Magazine

“The song’s (The Walls) multi-faceted nature is further revealed in harrowing and haughty growls, jolting chords, and fiery sunbursts of sound, as well as through a swirling melodic guitar solo that spectacularly sends the song into the stratosphere. The song’s finale is itself a full-power spectacle that really gets the adrenaline surging.” – No Clean Singing

“If there’s anything that Vortex nails, it’s drama. Album highlight and banger track “First Blood” is simply massive” – Angry Metal Guy

“For some music is pure escapism but does that still hold true when bands like Canadian Melodic Death Metal monster Vortex whisk the would be listener into a bleak world that is recovering from a devastating cataclysm? Scenes of war and survival are punctuated with harrowing strings, technical riffs, and guttural and Black Metal inspired vocals as the band weave cinematic stories and orchestral touches into their third concept album “The Future Remains In Oblivion”” – Metal Noise

“the title-track The Future Remains In Oblivion, a song that will blow your mind with its insane wall of sounds, background orchestrations, epic passages, striking riffs and solos, and visceral yet intricate drums, resulting in one of the most breathtaking moments of the entire album.” – The Headbanging Moose

“An excellent group that you must discover because of the intensity they are able to show” – Ondes Chocs

“After hearing their new material live November 2022, I was really looking forward to hearing the sequel and it may be darker than ever.” – Thorium Mag

“a band that takes great pride in weaving together cinematic stories set to orchestral melodic death metal. Canada’s very own Vortex is prepared to whisk you away to a bleak world that is recovering from a devastating cataclysm in the latest album, The Future Remains In Oblivion.” – Canadian Beats

“The Future Remains In Oblivion est un disque coloré, aux mélodies chaleureuses et aux superbes guitares.
“The Future Remains In Oblivion is a colorful record, with warm melodies and superb guitars.” – Music Waves

“The breakdowns are huge in places. There are big moments where the influences pour through, but are blended with giant choral arrangements and symphonics. It’s absolutely like something out of a Lord of the Rings movie. I love the melodies, the harmonics, and the guitar solos. This is absolutely an album which ought to be part of your listening rotation this month. I was genuinely impressed with quite a bit of the entire album. I think that when you look at this album, the absolute banger of the title tack is 100% worth several spins with the blackened guitar riffs and tremendous choral arrangements.” – Metal Epidemic

“The songs you’ll find on this upcoming release are aggressive, but Vortex also has a strong melodic approach and lots of orchestrations combined with guttural, black metal vocals and diverse guitar playing that alternates between howling snippets and beautiful, emotional riffs. Recommended for fans of Shadow of Intent, Septicflesh, and Dimmu Borgir.”  – RTMB Music

“Melodic death, a bit technical and prog” – Mosh Pit Radio WORT 89.9FM (Madison, WI)

EPK – SVNTH – Pink Noise Youth (2025) (These Hands Melt )

Jon Asher – Publicist – Jon[@]ashermediarelations[.]com

For fans of Deafheaven, Alcest, Brutus, Svalbard, Agalloch

Band: SVNTH
Album Title: Pink Noise Youth
Release Date: April 18, 2025
Label: These Hands Melt

“Pink Noise Youth will be out five years after our previous full-length, which is the longest time between two records in our discography. It is also full of new things, starting from a consistent line-up change of more than half of the band, the introduction of many new instruments such as electric Indian sitar, clean singing, classical and 12 strings guitars, and in addition, songwriting goes back to a more traditional song in opposition to the more suite-like approach of the previous album. People will surely welcome it with curiosity.” – SVNTH

Spotify | Svnth.bandcamp.com

“Do you dig blackgaze, in the vein of Deafheaven and Alcest? What about post-hardcore? What about a mixture of the two?! Well my dears, you’re in a bit of luck, because the Italian experimental band Svnth just released their new single “Cinnamon Moon.” Give it a lil listen” – Metal Sucks

“This is not music that settles into one feeling; it is an album that lives in the tension between them, where grief fuels rebellion, where pain and resilience are inseparable, and where every song feels like a battle between destruction and redemption. In the end, it does not leave the listener broken, but neither does it offer false comfort. It does not promise that everything will be okay, but it does promise that the struggle is worth something. It is an album that carries both the weight of sorrow and the fire of defiance, the burden of grief and the light of something that refuses to die. 9/10″ – Metal-Temple (2025 – Pink Noise Youth)

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

“This is arguably SVNTH’s defining effort to date, and will hopefully see them gain a foothold within the scene at large…” – Distorted Sound Magazine (2020 – Spring in Blue)

“”The music seems to wail and mournfully murmur like spirits who have lost their way in a shimmering desert world. Those lonesome laments unfold into a momentum of neck-snapping beats, raking chords, and high, harrowing shrieks” – No Clean Singing (2020 – Spring in Blue)

 “SVNTH sets out in hopes of bridging the rift of a jealous god, welding genres into music that can appeal to all sensibilities, without sacrificing integrity (or intensity)” – Toilet ov Hell (2020 – Spring in Blue)

“”Distortions, speed and sinister atmosphere as the tradition black imposes but also delicate chiselations from which a light filters that suggests possible trajectories capable of questioning the dictatorship of matter, Spring in Blue is an album that is not afraid to face the recognized columns of Ercole gender and to push it far beyond 8.5/10” – Grind On The Road

“an interesting take on black metal, delving deeper into psychedelia and post-rock influences on new EP SVNTH. Though the tremolo-picked guitar playing and blast beats accompanied by howled screams still remain, they are met with shimmering melodies, ambient stretches and Pink Floyd-esque guitars.” – Decibel Magazine (2018 – EP SVNTH)

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

Describe The Album Artwork:

The artwork is realized by Tryfar based on a photo taken by our friend Alexandru Cozlan from Krøvi with alteaaetla_sg as model. It tries to portray all the emotional instability of late youth from the current generation in such a phase that in a metaphor with sounds is as chaotic as pink noise.

About the album as a whole (LYRICALLY & MUSICALLY)

If the previous record Spring in Blue was about facing life’s struggles on a childhood perspective, the upcoming Pink Noise Youth will be based on exploring awareness as an adult in late youth, trying to give a voice to a generation emotionally unstable and chaotic as pink noise. it will be the second part of the band’s own “trilogy of colors”.

Musically speaking expect something intended to stay outside of genres and labels where elements of hardcore, metal, shoegaze, post-rock and unconventional instrumentation such as electric Indian sitar are blended together in the same pot.

Track by Track (LYRICALLY & MUSICALLY):

1. Inhale – Album intro that brings up a dreamy atmosphere as the beginning of the journey, it shows a varied musical instrumentation that includes classical guitar, indian sitar, percussions, and ambient layers

2. Cinnamon Moon – As the first single off Pink Noise Youth, the new anticipated album from Italian band SVNTH, Cinnamon Moon unveils some of the most interesting features offered on the album in terms of sound and mood. With its captivating mix of black gaze and post-hardcore, the song is an open letter soaked in fragility and emotional exposure, delivered to a cared one as a memorial of the hampered paths walked together on the road of late youth. Cinnamon Moon takes shape among Slowdive-esque ethereal delayed layers, heavy sections with black metal screams, passionate clean singing, a unique use of electric Indian sitar, and melodramatic post-rock melodies, that aim to build together a unique cathartic sound blend.

3. Perfume – The track is carried by catchy and emotional guitar melodies with captivating singing, classic song structure and lyrics about nostalgia and moments that will never come back. Reminding bands like Alcest, Nothing and Smashing Pumpkins, it mixes elements of alternative rock and post-metal.

4. Elephant – One of the most dynamic tracks on the album, mixing heartbreaking guitar melodies with rock-oriented explosions and a pure post-rock outro, all accompanied by an alternation of screaming and melodic singing. Lyrics are about remembering intensively cheerful memories that symbolize the end of a turbulent and suffering path of life and consequently a new beginning.

5. Narrow, Narrow – With a dreamy Deftones-like intro soaked in delay and reverb, the song evolves immediately into a hardcore-oriented explosion with black metal screams alternated with emotional shoegaze-y sections. As much as the song “Wings of the Ark” from the previous album “Spring in Blue” was based on the experience of a loss during childhood, this song does the same but in the late youth phase of life. The final refrain “We will never come back again, but we’ll always be here” is intended to be considered a sort of anthem that reflects on the shortness of our life as humans compared to the eternity of our memory that remained in the people we left.

6. Exhale – transition instrumental track intended to create a dreamy imaginary. It alternates dark country film-like soundscapes inspired by Ennio Morricone, Swans, and Woven Hand with sitar-led psychedelic vibes that recall similitudes with Master Musicians of Bukkake, The Beatles, and Kikagaku Moyo with a touch of post-rock.

7. Winter Blues – The darker track of the album brings influences from both post-hardcore and black metal with a touch of melancholy, lyrics are about remembering with nostalgia someone who was a cared one in a relationship of the past.

8. Nairobi Lullaby – Most pop-oriented song of the recorded. It is a ballad that mixes Indian instruments like sitar and tanpura with acoustic guitar, fretless bass, drums and clean vocals, in a similar way of The Beatles’ Norwegian Wood. Lyrics are about remembering the fragilities and life difficulties of a cared person.

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

BAND STORY ANGLES / FUN FACTS:

1. The only member who has been in the band since the very beginning is Rodolfo Ciuffo.

2. Through the years SVNTH has played several tours and festival appearances all over Europe and in the United States, touching even non frequently toured countries such as Albania and Turkey.

3. On every full-length of the fourth in the band’s discography the name of a season is mentioned in a song or album title. For example on “Breeze of Memories (2015)” there is a song called “Summer Dusk”, on “Toward Akina (2017)” there is a song called “Last Fall Before the Impact”, the title of the third record is “Spring in Blue (2020)” and on “Pink Noise Youth (2025)” there is a song called “Winter Blues”.

4. Most of the material outside full-lengths is intended to step a little bit away from the band’s usual style. For example the EP “SVNTH (2018)” is a compilation of songs from the demos recorded for the first time in a proper way; the style at the time was mostly melodic black metal. The Split from 2019 contains the long song “Hourglasses Crambles Along The Oranged Fucked Sky” which is basically a noise rock/post-rock track in the vein of Swans and Slint; also the rest of the other artists’ material on the split ranges from ambient to psychedelic folk and noise.

5. The musical versatility of SVNTH’s sound contributed to their inclusion in events from very different musical contexts that saw them share the stage with bands into styles like post-metal, gothic/doom, punk, post-hardcore/screamo, post-rock, shoegaze, black/death metal, and alternative rock.

With a various background of musical influences and artistic inspirations, SVNTH (written all caps and pronounced “Seventh”, formerly  “Seventh Genocide”) from Rome, Italy has been shaping a unique equilibrium of sounds through the years moving across a huge variety of directions on the palette of contemporary alternative music to create a distinctive soundtrack for inner emotions, life scenarios, and existentialist questioning. Expanding the energy of black and post-metal over the mellow and contemplative boundaries of shoegaze, art pop, and cinematic post-rock.

From the vivid early black gaze melodies of the debut “Breeze of Memories” (2015) to the long song structures with acoustic overtures and Godspeed You! Black Emperor inspired sections of the monumental “Toward Akina” (2017); SVNTH confirms this more complex approach on the double LP  “Spring in Blue” (2020), the childhood chapter of a trilogy of colors based on emotions in different phases of life.  

The upcoming “Pink Noise Youth” (2025) gets back to a more traditional song format, introducing a unique use of Indian sitar, and an array of acoustic instruments and singing expressions, which develops SVNTH to a one-of-a-kind sound and personality.

As of today, the band has done several tours and single shows all over Europe and in the USA touching even non-frequently toured countries such as Albania and Turkey and performing at notable festivals like Rockstadt and Frantic Fest, bringing a defining cathartic live energy.

Headlining Saturday, April 12th at The Rickshaw Theatre, Sweden’s ENFORCER have proved themselves both live and on record, they stake their place amongst the world’s most renowned heavy metal bands since first forming in 2005. They have toured the world over, playing the biggest festivals and garnering a global fanbase. Their latest sixth studio album Nostalgia (released May 2023 – Nuclear Blast), features 13 heavy metal anthems and throws ENFORCER back to their speed metal roots. Fusing extreme guitar riffing with catchy stadium choruses, ENFORCER is out to conquer the world. Music Video – Nostalgia – https://youtu.be/XhfrJAPbOCY

​

Supporting ENFORCER on the closing night lineup will be Comedy Metal Kings PSYCHOSTICK. These humorcore titans bring forth a nostalgic escapade of sing-alongs and moshing fun with iconic titles such as “Beer!”, “Numbers (I Can Only Count to Four)”, “Dogs Like Socks”, “Obey The Beard!”, “Boobs”, and their latest single “Ultra Mega Fast” – https://youtu.be/kaqeizvxefM

​

The Saturday night lineup will also witness the return of the formidable force that is Toronto’s Crimson Shadows bringing forth tales of fantasy and warfare in their fierce melodic power and death metal imbued sound. Thundering across the icy Canadian mountains, Crimson Shadows has awoken after five years away. The band has emerged from the dark and is preparing to forge its own path in this next stage of its journey. Across their defiant career stretching almost two decades, to date notable highlights of Crimson Shadows‘ journey include the band’s appearance at Wacken Open Air in Germany in mid-2013 and subsequent victory in obtaining the title of International Wacken Battle Champions. Alongside international performances, Crimson Shadows has ventured across the length and breadth of their homeland delivering brutality, technical prowess, and unyielding intensity in their melding of power and death.

Headlining Friday, April 11th at The Cobalt and returning for their third time at HMF is Seattle’s Greyhawk. This will be the band’s first time headlining along with performing with new vocalist Anthony Corso. They are supporting their latest album “Thunderheart” released in April 2024 on Fighter Records, a division of Xtreem Music. Band playthrough – Spellstone – https://youtu.be/65ySwth-LKo

The second night of the festival will also unleash the first-ever live performance of Lunar, a progressive metal project from California that features members from Helion Prime, Beholder, Vis Mystica, Mokili Wa, Nordic Frost, Outloud, and Double Vision. Founded by drummer Alex Bosson (Helion Prime, Planeswalker) and Ryan Erwin who passed away in 2018, LUNAR continues in his memory. This fourth full-length “Tempora Mutantur” out on January 31st via Saibot Reigns Records follows 2023’s “The Illusionist” and features a fresh lineup with the addition of guitarists Carlos Alvarez and Connor McCray (Vis Mystica) along with keyboardist Anthony Stahl plus album guests Wayne Ingram (Wildrun), Joe Gullace (Thank You Scientist) and Sam Vallen (Caligula’s Horse).

Meant to perform on the 2024 lineup, but forced to cancel, Tylor Dory Trio returns for 2025, they are a monstrous progressive metal unit and beloved by many in Western Canada. This live performance on Friday, April 11th, will be their first following a nearly seven-year layoff. Music Video – The Waitress – ​https://youtu.be/nh9MxcSqlOE

Also added to the Friday lineup and opening the night is The Astral Prophets, a psychedelic rock/metal band from Calgary, AB featuring Apprentice, Lycanthro, and Scythia members. This is the band’s first time on the fest although some members have played the fest before in previous groups. They will be supporting their latest 2023 EP “Anywhere But Here”.

Opening night of the festival, Thursday, April 10th at The Cobalt, will showcase the Pacific Northwest’s Glyph, which is not just a heavy metal band, they are a crew of intergalactic mercenaries escaping a dying planet in their spaceship, the VSS Dragonlord. Clearly, Glyph isn’t just writing songs, they’re building worlds and they bring it forth in their latest album “Honor, Power, Glory” released this past March. Music Video – March of the Northern Clan – https://youtu.be/htSyUb25wD4

Traveling from Edmonton, AB, Tower Hill delivers premium old-school heavy metal inspired by bands like Running Wild, Riot, Judas Priest, early Blind Guardian, and Helloween. Forging the best of the late 80s and early 90s German, British, and US metal scenes into a new blend of shimmering steel, Tower Hill’s riff-driven, hook-laden traditional metal will have you banging your head and singing along. Lyric Video – Deathstalker – ​https://youtu.be/IGybnd-HZRU👍

Replacing the originally announced Lost Nebula, Calgary’s RED CAIN has been imported to perform their power-prog storytelling with Eastern European roots for the masses. They have been making waves since their first release in 2016, with award-winning music videos and concept albums “Kindred: Act I”, “Kindred: Act II” and “NÄE’BLISS”. The albums contained a ton of genre inspirations, from gothic rock to ambient electronica, power, black, and death metal, and were universally lauded for their inventiveness, variety, and strong conceptual content. They continue this momentum with the latest singles “Firestarter” and “Demons II”. Music Video – Demons II – https://youtu.be/7VViLOrFfQ8

EPK – Abolishment of Flesh – Resurrecting Misanthropy (EP) (2023)

“This EP is short and sweet. I think people will dig it! There’s a little bit of something for everyone. We’re not just death metal, we throw in some black metal, melody, thrash, groove, and grind. We’ve been lucky enough to string in some fans who normally don’t listen to underground metal. I think our sound incorporates several aspects of metal and we don’t want to just stick to one formula.” – Ramon Cazares – Abolishment of Flesh

Publcist – Jon Asher – jon[@]ashermediarelations[.]com

Artist Management – Mark Kloeppel – Extreme Management Group – EMG.MarkKloeppel[@]gmail.com

For fans of Kataklysm, Suffocation, Deicide, Goatwhore, Amon Amarth

“The song’s (Disavowed) lyrics are eloquent but crushing — a narrative of broken men, hollowed out, filled with prolonged misery, and now “apathetic, hater of life, a mockery and in distress,” entertained only by the suffering of others, begging for death, and “awaiting the cleansing with blood / Adorned with nails and a crown of thorns.” As dark as the words are, the song is equally dark. From the beginning, harsh and heavy slashing chords and chant-like tones cast a grim cloud, backed by head-moving beats, and the searing intervention of the writhing lead guitar feverishly spreads despair. When gritty growls come in, the riffing spasms. When the voice transforms to rabid screams, the music slashes again but blazes in distress. The drums blast; the guitars swarm; the vocals wildly channel agony and rage; and quick jolts segment the violence. The darkness is unrelenting, but the song is also exhilarating, and it should appeal especially to fans of Deicide.” – No Clean Singing 

“Spiraling and crazed death metal from Amarillo, The Abolishment Of Flesh’s debut proves they aren’t messing around.” – Metal Injection (Inhuman Condition 2018)

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

About The EP Artwork:
Our EP’s artwork represents death, the coming and anticipation and finally, the accomplishment of death.

About The EP:
The lyrics are themed around some pretty dark and aggressive topics. I like the idea of composing music based on those emotions and trying to create an atmosphere. It’s kind of like a soundtrack. Our album “In the Presence of Darkness” had a lot of personal emotion put into that. This release is a continuation of that experience. My family went through some dark times, and I was able to use that as inspiration. For me, music can be therapeutic. It’s like going to a rage room and smashing stuff.

Track By Track:

1. Words Defy Truth – This song is about the lies and manipulation by religious members.

2. Hater of Man – This is about a pregnant person who hates what’s inside them and basically rejects and abuses this being. After being born grows up with this rejection and hate that evolves to be worse than the mother to the point of a murderous hatred for man.

3. Disavowed – In a way, this could be a continuation of “Hater of Man”. It’s about a person that’s grown old and became misanthropic.

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

Fun Facts – Story Angles

1. So our message is definitely anti-human and about death and destruction. We hope people read the message in our songs and can relate or understand its just our opinion and perspective,  mixed in with truth and sarcasm.

2. Despite our grim lyrics, when we get together for rehearsal and tour, we’re always joking around and having a good time. Totally the opposite of the theme of the band.

3. Except for our self-titled debut album, the rest of our releases have been recorded at my house. We are definitely a DIY band. Even in our music video for Behind Deceitful Eyes, all the props and imagery you see were created by us. It’s a lot more work to put in but the end result is much more gratifying when it’s all said and done.

4. Going on tour can be a lot of fun but it’s also very stressful. Despite everything that can possibly go wrong, I would never trade that experience for anything else. Most regular adults my age work and save money all year long to take that big vacation. Touring is like my vacation. On tour, you get to see the country, meet new people, and jam on stage with your bros. It’s all I ever wanted to do as a kid. I still have to go back home to a job and be a responsible adult. But on tour, it’s like being a different person and all your troubles and responsibilities are hundreds of miles away.

Birthed from the High Plains of West Texas, USA,  Abolishment Of Flesh emerged in 2008 as a brutal death metal weapon forged by founding member Ramon Cazares. Not long after their inception they released their debut self-titled album and hit the road on a rampage. 

The band’s next release “Decimation” came out in 2012 and was followed by the Brutal Alliance Tour in which they razed venues across the country. On a roll now, AOF once again headlined the now 5-week Brutal Alliance Tour in 2013 and released their devastating second full-length album “Creation to Extinction” at the end of the year.

Refusing to stay in the confines of a single genre, Abolishment Of Flesh looks to death, black, and thrash metal to hone their razor-sharp sonic arsenal. In 2018, they released the pummeling “The Inhumane Condition” and followed it up with “In the Presence of Darkness” in 2021. These destructive full lengths further cemented the band’s name in the local scene. 

Their lyrical content is shaped by war, violence, disease, corruption, and the systematic collapse of human civilization. Each track is a brutal autopsy of mankind’s fatal flaws combined with true metal artistry, a relentless commitment to musical creativity, and an uncompromising live performance that transforms every show into a battlefield of sound.

In 2023, AOF released “Resurrecting Misanthropy” a continuation of their musical warfare that will leave listeners shell-shocked and with ringing ears.
