Dyatlove, from Vancouver, Canada have a fresh new single out to weave into ears everywhere. The quartet of Sam Caviglia (vocals/guitar), Rikki Jennings-Buford (guitar), Justin Lacey (bass) and Rob Sheldrick (drums) are joined by Scott Whalen (Imonolith/Ugly Men/Latenite Automatic) who picks up guest vocals and adds a crushing layer to “The Chrysalis”.

Written near the end of 2019, the single speaks of evolving as a person, the personal growth we all hope to achieve. After sitting on it for quite some time, Dyatlove feels this is the time to unleash it. As they continue to explain:

“We decided to record it and put it out to keep things moving during the dreaded 2020 experience. There was the need to keep productive and have something to work towards as everything was shut down here in British Columbia. Sam is really proud of these lyrics and as a band we are proud of how this song came together. We were able to work with our longtime friend Royce Whittaker on this song and he really helped us out with the little nuances. It was amazing to have him join us for this track, along with another of our friends Scott Whalen who added some devastating vocals!”

Dyatlove coin their sound as “emo sludge” and it is chock full of raw emotion, meandering clean vocals and slow, somber riffs brushed against a heavy wall of pounding drums edged with flecks of hardcore elements. Thus far, they have released a self-titled EP (2020) and a stand-alone single “DIE, KILL, PIG” (2020). They will be recording another EP this year.

Recommended for fans of Deafheaven, Converge, and Russian Circles, “The Chrysalis” can be heard via its streaming premiere on New Noise Magazine HERE.

“The Chrysalis” will be officially available on all digital platforms April 2, 2021.

About:
Dyatlove is a rock band from Vancouver, BC whose austere music stems from a place of deep emotion, expressing the language of the self laid bare. Its 4 members – Sam (vocals/guitar), Rikki (guitar), Justin (bass) and Rob (drums) – create raw, passionate, and at times gut-wrenching musical offerings.

Though a newly-formed group, the band’s collective musical memory is long and their backgrounds are aesthetically diverse. Drawing inspiration and experience from the genres of hardcore, punk, emo, hip-hop and electronic music, Dyatlove seeks a sound that overwhelms sonically. They push their melodies as far as they can go, creating an emotional fallout that forces its listener to reckon with the intricacies and instabilities of being human.

“We want to give everything we have to our fans,” they express, “and we want them to understand that we get what they are going through, and are there for them through our music.”

Through music, Dyatlove finds a connection, and through connection, their musical community grows. Acclaimed producer Matt Roach – of Rain City Records – has contributed significant expertise in engineering their self-produced debut album, while indie label Coup Sur Coup has signed Dyatlove for a cassette release deal. With each show they play, their momentum grows:

“Whether small intimate gigs or festivals, just playing for the live crowd is what we dream about,” the members explain as they build to their goal of an extensive tour.”

The heavy, overflowing sound of Dyatlove’s storytelling style is for everyone – it is authentic art that shapes its audience slowly, earnestly and rather forcefully. It is classic in form and radical in content: whether heard in digital or analog, studio-produced or live, Dyatlove is a unique and essential listening experience.

– 30 –

“Their sound is eclectic and diverse, at times morose and at other, heavy sludge. An EP that requires attention to take in, each song takes the listener on a ride with complex lyrical content aiming to grab attention.” – Frontview Magazine

“The band’s music isn’t the kind of extreme metal we usually cover at this site, but I’d say they’re “adjacent” — and there’s an explosive emotional fury in the song and video we’re presenting today that’s so cathartic (and so demolishing) that it’s more than welcome here.” – No Clean Singing.

“DYATLOVE conveys emotion and brings the heavy with an impressive, eclectic EP” – IDIOTEQ

“The track (Empty Lungs) is amazing and the band will quickly make you a fan if you like groups like Converge, Deafheaven, or Spotlights.” – Ghost Cult Magazine

“Their sound is eclectic and diverse, at times morose and others bone crunchingly heavy. ” – The Sludgelord

“This is a collection of songs about love of family, songs about loss, songs about anger and songs about struggles and addictions all wrapped up in the confines of half an hour’s worth of music…” – Metal Noise

“for those who love  Deafheaven, Converge, Russian Circles, Touche Amore, Alcest, Pallbearer… A beautiful discovery.” – Mad-Breizh

Montreal, QC – April 12, 2017

 

For Fans of Cult of Luna, High on Fire, Neurosis, Khemmis, Unearthly Trance

TheSludgelord Album Premiere Ottawa Doom LONGHOUSE ‘II: Vanishing’

     Ottawa, ON doom metal trio LONGHOUSE has teamed up with TheSludgelord for the exclusive full stream premiere of their sophomore album “II: Vanishing” due out digitally on Friday, April 14th plus will be available on physical cassette via Sunmask Records June 2017 (date to be determined). “II: Vanishing” follows their 2015 debut album ‘Earth from Water’, a spiritual odyssey into the perseverance of the human spirit and the lessons we can learn from the natural world.

Returning to Wolf Lake Studios to record with Mike Bond (Loviatar, Norilsk, Arms of the Girl) once again as producer and engineer. “II: Vanishing” continues the pleasing progression of their debut while retaining the band’s core sound of heavy, intricate riffs, splashed with a touch of post-metal to guide you on a dark and visceral journey spanning nearly 40 minutes over five tracks.

Vocalist / bassist comments:

“II: Vanishing has a logical evolution that is evident in the composition, as well as production. I also think that fans should take a moment to reflect on some of themes that are threaded throughout the album. The bulk of my ideas musically and lyrically come from exploring Indigenous ways of knowing. I am Algonquin First Nations. My family’s community is Kitigan Zibi, outside of Maniwaki, QC. However, I grew up in the city, mostly detached from my culture. As a father, I have been trying to immerse myself in the stories, wisdom, and strength of our Elders, knowledge keepers and story tellers, so that I can pass that on to my daughters. Because this takes up so much space in terms of who I am, and who I am becoming, it plays a very large part in terms of influences I draw upon.”


“II: Vanishing” can be heard at the following link: http://thesludgelord.blogspot.ca/2017/04/album-premiere-ottawa-ontarios.html

Along with album pre-order available at https://longhouse1.bandcamp.com/

“These Canadian doomsters may have a penchant for blistering fuzz-laden riffs, but there’s just as much focus on this, their second album, on atmospherics. Post-metal-influenced sonics are integral from the opening moments of the album, and remain throughout….Longhouse are to be commended for one thing, it’s the skill with which they blend the elements of their sound to provide a full-length that is as primitive as it is sinister.” – Bonded By Metal – 8/10

“Man, I don’t think I’ve been this geeked out about a Canadian post-sludge record since Pyres put out Year of Sleep back in 2013!” – Hellbound.ca – 8/10

“It might only be 5 songs long but Longhouse do more in that time then many bands do in double that. It’s a doom masterpiece that isn’t afraid to mess around with different ideas.” – Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life

“The one song from the album released for public listening so far is “No Name, No Marker“, and if you guess that refers to graves, you would be correct. It’s a riveting mix of doom and post-metal with blackened shrieking in the vocal department. After a haunting, grief-stricken opening, the track becomes heavier and more intense by orders of magnitude, eventually becoming a big juggernaut of earthquaking chugs and groaning chords, with guitar leads that shimmer, flicker, and spiral around the powerful rhythms like ghost lights. The wrenching vocals add to the music’s intensity, and the grinding bass solo is a nice touch as well.” – No Clean Singing

“This is an album that’s an extremely accomplished and enjoyable listen.  For a great mix of sludgy doom with progressive, post-metal and atmospheric elements, Longhouse might very well be one of my new favourites.” – Wonderbox Metal

ToiletOvHell Premiere Ottawa Doom LONGHOUSE ‘Vigil’; New Album ‘II: Vanishing’ Out April 14th

     Set to unleash their sophomore album “II: Vanishing” digitally on April 14th via their Bandcamp with physical cassette release June 2017 (date to be determined) via Sunmask Records, Ottawa, ON doom metal trio LONGHOUSE has teamed up with ToiletOvHell.com for the exclusive premiere of their second single ‘Vigil’ featuring JD Gobeil from Loviatar.

Vocalist/ bassist Joshua Cayer comments:

“This song was written as a collaborative effort with JD Gobeil from Loviatar. It is an exploration of stories of the Thunderbirds. In First Nations stories and traditions, the Thunderbirds are powerful spirits, second only to the Creator. These immense birds dwell in the mountains and have the primary purpose of protector and nurturer of Mother Earth – guarding her from harm, quenching her thirst, and replenishing her garments. Thunderbirds are the enemy of the horned-serpents, who live deep beneath the waters and threaten to spread across the land and devour all life. They hold a constant vigil, to protect Mother Earth and all life from their foe. The Thunderbird is a good spirit, however, they are to be feared as they are quick to anger by those who ignore or disobey the natural laws, and are indifferent to humans and animals in their guardianship of our Mother, the earth.”

‘Vigil’ can be heard on ToiletOvHell.com at http://www.toiletovhell.com/premiere-longhouse-the-vigil/

and the band’s first single ‘No Name, No Marker’ can be heard at https://longhouse1.bandcamp.com/track/no-name-no-marker-2  

LONGHOUSE came into being in 2013 when guitarist Marc Casey and bassist/vocalist Joshua Cayer turned their long-standing song-writing partnership into a full band with drummer Mike Hache to complete their circle of dark, riffy, heavy textured doom metal. They released their debut album ‘Earth from Water’ in 2015, a spiritual odyssey into the perseverance of the human spirit and the lessons we can learn from the natural world.

In November 2016, LONGHOUSE returned to Wolf Lake Studios to record with Mike Bond (Loviatar, Norilsk, Arms of the Girl) once again as producer and engineer for the outcome to be their sophomore album entitled “II: Vanishing”. The album continues the pleasing progression of their debut while retaining the band’s core sound of heavy, intricate riffs, splashed with a touch of post-metal to guide you on a dark and visceral journey spanning nearly 40 minutes over five tracks.
