Since 1994, GHOULUNATICS have been ravaging the underground with their personal blend of metal and hardcore and have built a solid discography of releases since then. As of April 26th, they will have a new addition, their first in over 10 years, the new single “Move Along” that continues their hardcore ‘rotten roll’.

The band comments:

“We hope our fans will be excited to hear new music from us. It will be the first new recording since the album Cryogénie in 2006. We are celebrating our 25th anniversary in 2019, so we wanted to celebrate with new tunes and go on the road more than we have these last couple of years. And let’s hope we can make new fans as well! Bring on the shows!! We’re back!”

Working collaboratively, Patrick Mireault (vocals); Patrick Gordon (guitar); Gary Lyons (bass); Francis Dubois (guitar) and Brian Craig (drums) meld punk, death metal and rock n’ roll together to form their signature diablerie. “Move Along” focuses on GHOULUNATICS’ hardcore influences, and while they aren’t taking a new step musically, they have chosen to let this particular influence take the reins.

GHOULUNATICS is sure to please anyone who appreciates a loud, explosive, rockin’ good time, especially those already interested in bands such as Entombed, Slayer, and Cancer Bats.

Watch “Move Along” via Bravewords.com  at http://bravewords.com/news/exclusive-ghoulunatics-premiere-first-single-music-video-in-over-10-years

Download and stream of the single are available on Bandcamp, iTunes, and Spotify.

About: 

The Montreal based band Ghoulunatics made its name thanks to their very energetic stage presence and its own artistic signature and composition methods, resulting in a unique musical footprint that distinguishes them from the masses.

From 1994 to 2008, Ghoulunatics traveled all over Quebec and Ontario relentlessly, always putting the pedal to the metal. They made their mark on the Quebec and Canadian metal and hardcore scenes, but also garnered attention abroad. In 2004, Ghoulunatics toured Germany for the album Sabacthany. In 2006, with the release of Cryogenie, they rocked France after being signed to the label Enraged Productions, home of well-known French bands like Tagada Jones and Lofofora, etc. After 15 years of Rotten Roll, Ghoulunatics split amicably in 2008, ending with a sold-out show at Foufounes Electriques in Montreal. The group came out of retirement in 2010 to headline a food drive event. They hit the stage again in 2012 for a show at Club Soda, and have since been playing 2-3 times a year since then for special events or festivals.

2019 marks the 25th anniversary of the band as well as the return of Ghoulunatics! The group is currently working on new music for the first time since Cryogenics (2006) and will launch a single with the hopes of releasing an EP during the course of the year. Watch out! The ghouls are back!!

“Hailing from Texas is Sigil and with their new record Kingdom of The Grave they provide you some filthy face ripping death metal. This release contains eight total songs that are as heavy as you can imagine and just as head stomping as you can imagine. From track to track you can expect nothing less than destructive, headbanging and intense tunes for the next thirty plus minutes.” – Cadaver Garden

“This is definitely for fans who like heavy, crunchy riffs, and throat-shredding vocals.” – Yell! Magazine

“Lots of insistent riffs merge with brutally-precise rhythms to make you wonder, just how powerful must this band sound in the live arena ? Hopefully we’ll get the chance to find out, one day. In the meantime, be sure to play this loud and enjoy the chaos as it takes the place apart !” – Fear and Loathing Fanzine

“Encased in a raw, gritty sound that instantly takes our minds back to the Slowly We Rots and Altars Of Madnesses of yore – Texan death metal outfit Sigil are here to pummel us. “Kingdom Of The Grave” is their first full-length release on the hilariously-named Horror Pain Gore Death Productions – and it succeeds on so many levels: primarily by taking the old school sound of classic DM acts like Massacre and Morbid angel – and making it relevant here in the 21st century…For me, this upcoming USA quartet have actually released the death metal album of the year so far – easily beating out Obituary and Immolation. Kingdom Of The Grave isn’t breaking boundaries – but everything about it sums up why we love old school death metal so much.” – The Metal Observer

      Montreal’s VANTABLACK WARSHIP is a devastating maelstrom of dark, slow-churning metal, ready to devastate all in its path.

The oncoming onslaught of metal that is VANTABLACK WARSHIP has been fine tuning its craft to set sail with their debut self-titled EP, which is now unleashed as of October 9th, 2015 through Bandcamp and iTunes.

About: 

Like the slow churn of a mechanical wheel grinding metal, the warship produces a punishing onslaught of sound from start to finish. Lyrically, the dreadnought writing forces are their bassist and vocalist, who focus on themes surrounding current events, horror, and politics – sometimes all rolled into one song.

VANTABLACK WARSHIP’s crew is comprised of Yannick (Pil) Pilon (Arseniq33, Buffalo Theory MTL) at the helm on vocals, Pat Gordon (Ghoulunatics, Les Ekorchés, Leprocy, Buffalo Theory Mtl) on guitar, Pierre Pitre (Arseniq33, Foreshadow) manning the drums, Thierry Hivon (Brutal Chérie, Sarkasm) rigging the guitar,  and Kurt Clifford (Foreshadow) anchoring the bass.

“It’s a menacing mix of explosive thrash and you can let it pummel your senses by hitting play” – Exclaim!

 

“thrash, groove and gnarly vocals…it’s metal from start to finish and yet the overwhelming sense throughout is that this band’s attitude is punk to the core.” – Five Albums

 

“The six songs are exactly what you would expect from a band in this genre, hard, ruthless, aggressive and this with a healthy dose of “f*ck the world and all in it” attitude…With this short record, Vantablack Warship shows they fit right into the current crossover scene and fans of bands like Municipal Waste or Suicidal Tendencies can surely appreciate this little piece of work.” – Lords of Metal

 

“It’s a hard hitting good time from start to end, no weak spots. It’s a mind bending cluster fuck to the tenth power. The vocals through out the album, so rich, yet so creative and they are their own thing. The melodies and mixing, everything has been extraordinary. It was more than a pleasure to listen to this!” – Taste of Khaos

 

“play a remarkably catchy brand of rocking deaththrash” – The Killchain Blog

 

“I’m very much digging it and hopefully there will be more coming from Vantablack Warship because I’ll be spinning this one over and over again.” – Thy Demons Be Scribblin

 

” Vantablack Warship wear their influences for all to see, there is, thankfully, no doubt that they have a sound that is all their own, or at least a sound made their own. Opening track You’ll Burn brings to mind Entombed’s 1993 classic Wolverine Blues, – as do all six tracks, in fact – but never to the point of plagiarism, and although Cancer Bats, Pantera and Slayer are all obvious influences too, there is no sense that you’re hearing a poor imitation, just a kick ass band with great taste in music.” – Morat 666
