Bio:

Constantine was born & raised in Athens, Greece. At the age of 12, he began learning to play the guitar by copying songs from his record collection of his favorite bands such as Iron Maiden, Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Judas Priest & Exodus. As a young teenager, he soon started to evolve more on his study & approach on the guitar by getting influenced from guitar heroes like Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, Marty Friedman, Michael Romeo & Zakk Wylde.

Constantine’s playing over the years has evolved & ranges from shredding riffs to soaring solos with memorable twin guitar melodic harmonies, fluid tapping-arpeggio lines, wide vibrato, and melodic pentatonics.

Despite the young of his age, time and work had proved that Constantine’s flexibility is undoubted both in performances but in compositions in different genres/styles of music. Constantine’s efforts over the years have taken many forms including playing in Nightrage (2007), Descending (2008-2012), Mystic Prophecy (2008-2012), Nightfall (2010-2013), Primal Fear (2012).

His first solo album ‘Shredcore’ was released in 2010 and the follow-up ‘Aftermath’ will be released in May of 2019.

Montreal, QC – February 28, 2019

Rockshots Records: Christian Power Prog S91 Posts New Lyric Video “Constantine The Great”

New Album “Along The Sacred Path” Out March 22, 2019

Italian Christian power prog metal band S91 will be unleashing their sophomore album “Along The Sacred Path” on March 22, 2019, via Rockshots Records and are excited to share with fans their new lyric video for the first single “Constantine The Great” at the following link: https://youtu.be/jY3SxnJZPOM.

S91‘s new album follows their 2016 debut full length “Behold The Mankind”, which was a concept release about the history of humanity from the point of view of Christian theology. That album was produced by Cristiano Bertocchi (Labyrinth, Vision Divine, Wind Rose) with mastering done by Simone Mularoni (Domination Studios). Received well by critics and audiences, the debut opened doors for the band to tour across Italy and abroad, including a performance at the latest edition of “Elements Of Rock” (Switzerland), the largest Christian metal festival in Europe.

The band explains their sophomore full length:

“‘Along The Sacred Path’ is a concept album that traces the history of Christianity, continuing the narrative from “Behold The Mankind”. The story is told through the life of some key figures that are not always considered positive by everyone. The main goal is to show how the Gospel message has spread in its original form, becoming the fabric of modern Western society. Scrolling through the track listing, you will see that all the characters are of European origin.”

Album pre-order is available on Rockshots Records at https://shop.rockshots.eu/en/cd/1129-s91-along-the-sacred-path-.html.

Previous releases can be heard on the band’s Bandcamp, Youtube and Spotify.

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – January 24, 2019

MORTANIUS Posts New Lyric Video “Facing The Truth”

New Album ‘Till Death Do Us Part’ Out February 22, 2019

Philadelphia’s progressive power metal outfit MORTANIUS have posted a new lyric video for their next single “Facing The Truth” off their upcoming debut album “Till Death Do Us Part” set for release via Rockshots Records on February 22, 2019 to follow EPs ‘A Voice From Beyond’ (2016), ‘Savage Garden’ (2015), and ‘Ethereal Waltz’ (2014).

“‘Facing the Truth’ is a straight forward power metal song with Leo Figaro singer from Minstrelix / Dragon Guardian as a special guest. It is the shortest song on the album and is straight to the point, featuring energetic and driving rhythms, and catchy melodies.” adds vocalist Lucas Flocco.

Listen to “Facing The Truth” at https://youtu.be/CAsNWaM6SMs

 

Album pre-order – http://bit.ly/Mortanius_PREORDER

Pre-save on Spotify – http://smarturl.it/Mortanius_SPOTIFY 

MORTANIUS, a progressive power metal band with symphonic and neo-classical elements was formed in 2013 by ex-Outlander vocalist Lucas Flocco and drummer Victor Cardone who were joined by guitarist Mike Gissi and bassist Jesse Shaw. From 2014 to 2016, the band recorded 3 EPs, each one steadily increasing the band’s online presence and fan base. In 2016, after the release of their third and most successful EP at the time, “A Voice From Beyond”, drummer Victor Cardone departed from the band.

A year later in 2017, MORTANIUS returned to the studio to create their first full-length album, “Till Death Do Us Part”. Ollie Bernstein (Ousiodes) recorded all lead guitars on the album, while AJ Larsen (of Madison Rising, Vicious) handled rhythm guitar duties. MORTANIUS also reached out to renowned power metal singers, Leo Figaro (Minstrelix, Dragon Guardian) and Jonas Heidgert (Dragonland) to provide guest vocals. “Till Death Do Us Part” featured the longest production cycle out of any of MORTANIUS‘ previous releases, finally wrapping up production a year later, in the fall of 2018. This album features MORTANIUS‘ most fully fleshed out and dynamic compositions, tightest performances, and highest quality production to date.

Vocalist Lucas Flocco comments:

“The album features a mixture of progressive and power metal. The songs all have melodic vocals that sing catchy lines. Choirs and harmonized vocals are featured heavily. Lead guitars shred fast and harmonized beautifully with each other, and the rhythm guitars are tight and intricate. Keyboards play an integral part to the sound of the album, providing atmospheric flavor and sometimes carrying the main melodies.”

Track Listing:
1. Facing the Truth (feat Leo Figaro) (5:11)
2. Disengage (10:17)
3. Jaded (feat Jonas Heidgert) (9:02)
4. Till Death Do Us Part (18:23)
5. Last Christmas (Wham cover) (5:56)
Album Length: 48:50

Hailing from the ashes of Charlotte, USA’s darker side comes forth the blackened death trio, Oculum Dei. Mixing different elements and influences of black metal, the band is set to bring forth a horde of darkness and engage listeners into a realm of deep, chaotic experiences.

First forming as a studio project in 2016 by Tenebris (bass/drum and keys programming), Camalus (guitar) and Zebulv (vocals/guitar), the band has taken their influences of Emperor, Behemoth and Dark Funeral and push an eclectic unholy blasphemy as far as it will go in the Southern USA’s Bible Belt.

Not content to remain as a studio project, the trio has begun performing locally and have shared the stage with Carach Angren, Wolfheart, and Mors Principum Est. Clad in corpse paint with an elaborate and continuously evolving stage show, Oculum Dei has heavily invested into their extreme visionary madness.

A team effort behind all their songwriting, Oculum Dei has been working on their first album for almost three years and now the dark demonic war chants of their debut “Dreams of Desire and Torment” will be unleashed on February 22, 2019.

The band comments:

“The album as a whole is an eclectic mix of slow dark black metal jumping into extreme black riffs sometimes slowed down with a death metal riff and into acoustic guitars. There is no set template for this one, just a groove and feel that each of us has brought to the table.”

The first single off the debut “Blinded By Gods” is a tribute to old school black metal with riffs and slings lyrics towards Christianity being a fake while saying only God exists in us.

Watch the lyric video for “Blinded By Gods” at https://youtu.be/pErRCs6_mbM

Single download and stream also available on Bandcamp, Spotify, iTunes, Amazon.

Track Listing:
1. Pandemic (1:22)
2. Involuntary Pandemic (4:05)
3. Ghost In The Corridors 6:44)
4. Kingdom Of Hell (8:40)
5. Dreams Of Desire And Torment (6:44)

L-R: Patrick Gagné (Drums), Christian M. Thériault (Guitars & Vocals), Éric Séguin (Bass & Back Vocals)

From the darkness of Northern Quebec, Canada, Rouyn-Noranda’s assaulting BACKSTABBER are sharing their fury with a FREE download of their single “No Privacy”off their forthcoming debut album “Conspiracy Theorist” set to be unleashed on February 15, 2019. The 10 track album is a fierce full-length that encompasses themes about scandals, critiques of mainstream media and conspiracies such as hollow Earth.

“‘Conspiracy Theorist’ is an album that’s meant to open your mind about the way the world revolves around us as it offers a new perspective on many issues that we see in our lives.” says vocalist/guitarist Christian M. Thériault

Remaining old school, there are no clean vocals or breakdowns here, just a solid and mature death/thrash metal album, with good flow and clear thought in the tracks and compositions.

Their single “No Privacy” is a brutal track focusing on the pervasive usage of metadata collection and their multiple applications merged with quantum analyzing.

The band explains further:

“‘No Privacy’ focuses on the fact that privacy is almost gone with metadata. It makes you question the difference between privacy and liberty. We also explore the possibilities of analyzing metadata with quantum computers and the creation of real-life simulation programs like Sentient World Simulation and their implications in real life. If you can create a real-time virtual reality with quantum computers collecting and analyzing metadata, that program could run simulations of almost everything and in the end, it could guess the future with an unbelievable level of certainty.”

Hamilton’s heavy rock outfit Doors & Fours are releasing a new album “Black Magik & Other Aphrodisiacs” on all major music platforms as of February 1, 2019. The independently produced album is a mash-up of raw heavy rock, with a very “go f*** yourself” punk attitude.

The band plans to tour with their loud, brash rock through Canada extensively over the next year in support of this fiery album. Comprised of four legs to ensure reaching as many listeners as possible, the first leg of the tour from March 23 to April 27, 2019, includes the Eastern Part of the country. More tour dates to be announced!

Spring Tour Dates:
March 23 – Niagara Falls, ON – Willy John’s

BIO:

Doors & Fours spawned as a “protest” against the plethora of extremely overproduced and computerized music coming out of the heavy music scene as of late. Doors & Fours was created by Adam Peach & René Thivierge while playing in PYTHON (a heavy metal band from Hamilton, ON), in an effort to create raw, catchy, hook-driven songs, Peach moved from the mundane suburbs of Hamilton to the mean streets of Hamilton to live on Thivierge’s couch, with the clothes on his back and his guitar.

From there, they began writing what would become the first Doors & Fours demo, containing just 3 songs: “Fight Song”, “Pass The Time”, “Full Go”, with Joe Piccolo on drums. A month later, D4 released their first EP, titled “Skid”, containing 5 brand new songs. “Skid” was recorded and produced in just 7 hours in July 2017 – just over 30 days after releasing their demo. Evan Greenaway (PYTHON) played drums on the EP.

Keeping true to the original idea of producing raw, catchy, rock music, D4 produced both the demo and the EP from the house Peach and Thivierge resides at, using basic recording gear and a laptop computer. In November 2017, D4 decided to recruit Hamilton-based drummer Paige McAleney. With McAleney on drums, D4 finally had the final piece it was looking for, to adapt its own unique sound – a heavy dose of explosive, raw, crunchy, punk-driven rock music, with meaningful lyrics and a “go f**k yourself” attitude. Since then, the band has released a full-length album, 2 live albums, and 3 singles – with their 2nd full-length album coming out in February 2019.

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – December 21, 2018

MORTANIUS Posts Cover of WHAM’s ‘Last Christmas’

New Album ‘Till Death Do Us Part’ Out February 22, 2019

Philadelphia’s progressive power metal outfit MORTANIUS are getting into the holiday cheer with their new lyric video for their cover of WHAM’s “Last Christmas”. The track is one of five that will appear on the band’s debut album “Till Death Do Us Part” that will be released on Rockshots Records on February 22, 2019 to follow EPs ‘A Voice From Beyond’ (2016), ‘Savage Garden’ (2015), and ‘Ethereal Waltz’ (2014).

“With ‘Last Christmas’ we decided to emphasise the more melancholic nature of the lyrics while still keeping the 80s pop feel of the song. So instead of being a bouncy 80s pop song, it has become a slower 80s power ballad. The chorus is backed up by big choirs, and the guitar solo is very emotional.” adds vocalist Lucas Flocco.

MORTANIUS, a progressive power metal band with symphonic and neo-classical elements was formed in 2013 by ex-Outlander vocalist Lucas Flocco and drummer Victor Cardone who were joined by guitarist Mike Gissi and bassist Jesse Shaw. From 2014 to 2016, the band recorded 3 EPs, each one steadily increasing the band’s online presence and fan base. In 2016, after the release of their third and most successful EP at the time, “A Voice From Beyond”, drummer Victor Cardone departed from the band.

A year later in 2017, MORTANIUS returned to the studio to create their first full-length album, “Till Death Do Us Part”. Ollie Bernstein (Ousiodes) recorded all lead guitars on the album, while AJ Larsen (of Madison Rising, Vicious) handled rhythm guitar duties. MORTANIUS also reached out to renowned power metal singers, Leo Figaro (Minstrelix, Dragon Guardian) and Jonas Heidgert (Dragonland) to provide guest vocals. “Till Death Do Us Part” featured the longest production cycle out of any of MORTANIUS‘ previous releases, finally wrapping up production a year later, in the fall of 2018. This album features MORTANIUS‘ most fully fleshed out and dynamic compositions, tightest performances, and highest quality production to date.

Vocalist Lucas Flocco comments:

“The album features a mixture of progressive and power metal. The songs all have melodic vocals that sing catchy lines. Choirs and harmonized vocals are featured heavily. Lead guitars shred fast and harmonized beautifully with each other, and the rhythm guitars are tight and intricate. Keyboards play an integral part to the sound of the album, providing atmospheric flavour and sometimes carrying the main melodies.”

Track Listing:
1. Facing the Truth (feat Leo Figaro) (5:11)
2. Disengage (10:17)
3. Jaded (feat Jonas Heidgert) (9:02)
4. Till Death Do Us Part (18:23)
5. Last Christmas (Wham cover) (5:56)
Album Length: 48:50
