Thrashers HELLNITE are proud to announce they will be embarking on their first ever Western Canadian tour since band founder Paolo Belmar relocated himself and the band to Edmonton, AB from Mexico City. While setting up the band again in Canada, Belmar was backed by Canadian musicians, but for this tour, he will be joined by original bassist Luis “Chaps” Mora and drummer Mauricio Salas for the road adventures through the Canadian Rockies and Prairies. The six-date “Midnight Terrors Western Canadian Tour”, which is in support of the same titled album the band released earlier this via Sliptrick Records, will be kicking off in Edmonton on June 21st and ending on July 5th in Regina.

Each member had this to say about their first venture touring Canada.

Paolo: “I’m excited in general, not sure what to expect but I’m sure we’ll do our best. This is our first tour out of Mexico and having my old pals with me again makes me feel confident and I know we will have fun playing together as a band rather than just do it because I already started this and I have to finish it (as I was doing when the album was released), it feels really good to have the original lineup together again.”

Chaps: “I’m excited because it was a long time without playing with my best friends and doing this project together. We will put our whole hearts to make you feel the power of a Mexican Metal band.”

Mauricio: “To be honest, I’m nervous because it’s my first time playing in Canada but I’m pretty sure that every single night of the tour will be a night to remember! So, be prepared to feel the Mexican power!”

HELLNITE‘s debut release “Midnight Terrors” is lyrically a paranormal and sci-fi themed concept album with influences from classic heroes such as Kreator, Slayer, Death along with next-generation thrash and heavy metal such as Havok, Skull Fist. The album was written and recorded by founding member, vocalist, and guitarist Paolo Belmar who formed HELLNITE originally in Mexico City in 2010 and has now re-established the band Edmonton, Canada.

The album is available from Sliptrick Records here (CD) along with stream and download on iTunes, Spotify, and all major online retailers.

“Hellnite does it right and it’s so damn good. Midnight Terrors is a thrilling listen. An old-school thrash record. Nine tracks of hard-hitting metal with a bucket-load of head-banging riffs, evil sounding vocals, and crunchy drum beats. From the circle pit mayhem of Phantom Force to the galloping rhythm of Spirits Prevail and the super hot guitar work of Beasts from the Deep, the first half of the album is banger after banger. ” – Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life

“There is some top-notch riffing happening on Midnight Terrors.” – The Metal-Observer

“The guitar work is a ride that ascends and descends impressively. ” – Boston Rock radio

“a hybrid meshing of classic thrash and modern interpretation a welcome offering.” – The Metal Channel

“This is an album that can’t be missed or overlooked so go and get it. Hellnite has reassured the world that heavy metal will never die. Enough said, now get it and crank it up!” – The Dirty Room

Fresh out of Kitchener, Canada, CATHARTIC DEMISE are releasing their debut self-titled three-track EP on April 26, 2019.

Before it’s officially unleashed the band has teamed up with MetalMasterKingdom for the premiere of EP’s full stream at the following link: https://www.metalmasterkingdom.com/home/cathartic-demise-premiere-new-self-titled-ep-in-full

The band comments:

“The EP as a whole is meant to give off a short and sweet impression on everything we do. It’s only an EP so someone wouldn’t have to invest much time to get a grasp of what we do. Liberty was written as a good opener, very high energy with the most aggression and technicality of all of the songs. The Vice is the shortest song, with many movements, written to be the catchiest song of the whole bunch, very much written in a pop style. Solar Returning is more of an ‘epic’ song, with the atmosphere of the whole outro being the main point of it all, being the climax of all of the earlier ideas that run throughout the whole song.”

The EP will be available for download and stream on Bandcamp, Spotify, iTunes.

Lyric video “The Vice” – https://youtu.be/Vaj-9FIDkeY

Show Dates:
May 4 – Kitchener, ON – The Boathouse

Kitchener’s Invicta strikes out on a thrash attack across Canada this spring in support of Italy’s Ultra-Violence making it one of the most aggressive thrash tours of the year.

Bio:

Invicta formed in 2017 is a thrash metal band hailing from Kitchener, Canada. Created by Kyle Edissi (guitar/vocals), he later recruited Jonah Kay (guitar), Shareef Hassanien (drums) and Steven Rowlands (bass) to complete the lineup and breathe life into his vision.

The first EP “The Executioner” was recorded in 2018 (with then bassist Gabe Rosa) and it was met with great furor. Now, in 2019, Invicta will unleash their second release, a full length entitled “Halls of Extinction”, which takes the band on a darker, more intense and morbid sounding path. This evolution and maturity sees the band focus more on theory and technicality without losing melody.

Hellbound.ca writer Sarah Riley’s #5 for Top 10 of 2018 (EP The Executioner)

“Riff-forward with plenty of intensity, the thrashy death metal hybrid of Invicta is never at a loss for much of anything. Frantic tempos, some ripping solos, heavy grooves, and snarling vocals seem to sum up the experience, which still ends up feeling more melodic than what might be expected. Not that it takes away from the heaviness, but rather seems in unison with it – these are riffs that are bound to stick with you after each listen. A very solid debut that you will want to crank up and blast repeatedly. It may fall easily within the death/thrash realm, but this is high-quality stuff that is done with passion and precision.” – Dead Rhetoric (Review of 2018 EP The Executioner)

“If you are a fan of old school Thrash Metal and Death Metal, then ‘The Executioner’ will be right up your ally.” – Five Magics Music

“Each track is its own well defined, frenetic, evil incarnation” – Metal Abyss

Northern Quebec’s BACKSTABBER Offers Free Download “No Privacy”

Debut Album “Conspiracy Theorist” Out Feb 15, 2019

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.”

Download the track for free at https://backstabbermetal.bandcamp.com/track/no-privacy.

Music Video – “Subterranean”:

BIO:

Hailing from Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, Canada, Backstabber is a formidable death/thrash metal trio inspired by conspiracies, new technologies, philosophy, and history. Covering a vast number of themes throughout their music, Backstabber can be likened to a ‘loose cannon’ with no foreshadowing of what direction they will take next, musically.

Starting with themes and gradually adding riffs, drums, bass and finally vocals, they pride themselves on complimenting their compositions with energetic and interactive live shows, the entire reason for them writing their music.

Eager to bring raw and fierce metal to the ears of listeners, Backstabber has recorded their first full-length “Conspiracy Theorist” set to be released February 15, 2019.

Backstabber has shared the stage with Cattle Decapitation, Depths of Hatred, First Fragment, Ending Tyranny, Insurrection, Blinded by Faith, Aepoch and more.

Thrashers HELLNITE have unleashed their second single “Phantom Force” off their forthcoming debut full length “Midnight Terrors” slated for release February 12, 2019, on Sliptrick Records. The track refers to the term “paralyzed dreams” where a person is awake/asleep and their body is physically paralyzed, but their mind is conscious. It is also known as a term for those who are superstitious and believe the body can suffer a spiritual possession by an evil entity while being awake yet numb.

Vocalist/guitarist Paolo Belmar explains:

“‘Phantom Force” is basically about the fear of being possessed by that dark spirit. It represents that fight between you, your body and the spirit trying to possess it, the outro of the song is trying to achieve a progressive sound to compliment that sentiment.”

Available for download on iTunes here.

Formed originally in Mexico City in 2010 and now re-established in Edmonton, Canada by founding member, vocalist, and guitarist Paolo Belmar, HELLNITE‘s debut album was written and recorded by Belmar who is now joined with a live line up consisting of bassist Konnor Miskiman and drummer Ryan Payne.

The full length is lyrically a paranormal and sci-fi themed concept album with influences from classic heroes such as Kreator, Slayer, Death along with next-generation thrash and heavy metal such as Havok, Skull Fist.

Belmar adds:

“It’s basically an open door to the next stage of this project that I began in Mexico. I have been working on ‘Midnight Terrors’ since 2014 and I think it will be well received from people who are into oldies and classic metal. I want to provoke curiosity with this album; my purpose is to catch people’s attention so they can follow the next movements of the band, which are going to be a little bit twisted in comparison with ‘Midnight Terrors’ and can’t wait to share the next release after this one.”

Music Video – “Sinister” – https://youtu.be/ZkCr2u_wHfs

The band comments:

“There’s no concept or theme on this album so all the songs have different meaning. The title track itself divulges into the inevitable end to humanity and potentially the world with it. It discusses the issues around the globe and also addresses the ignorance and selfishness of those indirectly affected by the chaos. It has a strong “United We Stand, Divided We Fall” theme in regards to how people can turn their backs on those in need in order to save their own skin, which ironically will lead to our end as it causes people to turn on each other. Musically for this album, you will notice we have evolved from the first release and have moved away from thrashy overtones to become more diverse including more heavily stated melodic and technical with a solid groove and death foundation.”

“Sinister” follows their 2015 debut full length “End Of Days” and EP “Beyond The Apocalypse” released that same year. Active since 2014, OMINOUS ECLIPSE is a very ambitious band passionate about writing and playing extreme music. They have already shared the stage with the likes of Revocation, The Agonist, Kalmah, Archspire, Incantation, Vesperia, Beyond Creation, Rivers of Nihil to name a few.

“Their new song “Spiral Into Insanity” has a strong death metal foundation, including very melodic leads, but there’s more than enough groovy thrash inspiration and even a hint of black metal there. ” – Decibel Magazine

“a game changing release for Ominous Eclipse that places them center stage for my pick of the best Canadian Metal release this year….Every track stands strongly on its own, thanks to the band’s immense talent and flawless production. Ominous Eclipse is a band that carries the banner for the N.W.O.C.D.M. with pride and distinction. Out September 14th on all streaming platforms, I would recommend Sinister to fans of Death, Iron Maiden, Infernal Majesty and Gojira.” – Hellbound

“Demonstrating their ability to blend genres within metal to create a compelling album, this is an impressive sophomore delivery. Each track brings something different and feels refreshing even after multiple listens.” – Splice Magazine

“‘Sinister’ is a high-energy track launched by heartless riff jabs, ear-scouring string squeals, and neck-snapping drumwork. The vocals come for your throat, too, in an effusion of heartless roars and face-scraping shrieks, and the song is accented by flurries of spidery, darting fretwork and by a pair of flashy, fluid, but demented solos. It becomes a thrashing gallop, but without becoming any less venomous in its delivery.” – No Clean Singing

“The crowd was stellar at Mavericks, where each of the four bands were well represented by their fan bases. Opening on the night were Ominous Eclipse, whose chunky, frantic thrash metal din was led by their howling frontman. Largely drawing from their 2015 album End of Days, the four-piece pounded through six songs, tackling tracks like “Pestilence,” Abandoned” and the album’s particularly solid title track. Helping to limber the crowd for the chaos to come, they called for a “wall of death” in the confines of the club and the fans delivered, clearing the centre of the floor before the opposing sides barrelled into one another, bodies flying everywhere.” – Exclaim! (Live Review opening for Kalmah April 2016)
