From North Bay, Canada comes WITHIN NOSTALGIA and their gritty video for the single ‘Death Lifes’ Lover’ off their recent release “Conjuring A New Reality”.
Cold and haunting, the video shows off the band’s flair for combining styles, with a diverse mix of sounds ranging from sadness to uplifting all the while staying powerful and unique. As a live fan favourite it was chosen as their second single and ultimately a video. Going into the particulars of the track is front woman and songwriter Alyssa Broere:
“With its catchy hook and thought-provoking lyrical concept, this one is always a favorite for us to play as well. Amongst the catchiness and melody, the bridge brings forth a death metal feel that segues back into the melody.”
“Conjuring A New Reality” was released on October 5th of this year and was met with an overwhelming local response. Taking notes from bands such as Agalloch, Katatonia, and Fen; WITHIN NOSTALGIA creates a bleak melodic soundscape filled with honest emotion and aggression. The band says about the album:
“’Conjuring A New Reality’ as a whole covers much musical ground in terms of sound. Peaks and valleys emerge, evoking vast emotions. We want to create something that allows fans to expand their minds as well as think and feel life and all its highs and lows.”
Recommended for fans of post-metal, black gaze, and black metal, the video can be seen via its premiere on Bravewords HERE.
“Conjuring A New Reality” is available on Bandcamp, Spotify, and Apple Music.
Track Listing:
1. Heart In The Eye Of The Skull (8:53)
2. Air Of Deceit (6:50)
3. Code Of The Common (6:49)
4. Death Lifes’ Lover (5:01)
5. Soul Mirror (6:00)
6. Lost In Aversion (6:34)

About:
Nostalgia began in the summer of 2013 in Burlington, Ontario as a one-woman project inspired by the beauty of nature and dark emotion. Alyssa Broere wrote and recorded all instruments (drums, bass, guitar, and vocals) with only demo songs released. With relocation to North Bay winds of change began to set in and the addition of two members James Ahola (bass and backing vocals) and Kye Bell (drums), a live and full sound were created. In October of 2016, they released their first EP entitled “Visions”. Chad Hemmings joined on lead guitar for a fuller sound and as of January 27, 2018, the much-anticipated debut album “Internal Momentum Of Fate” came to fruition.
Following a brief lineup change, Liam Ahola and Sara Vi were added to the roster and Kye exchanged his drum sticks for a guitar. Nostalgia changed their name to Within Nostalgia as a new and more sophisticated sound was created. On October 5, 2019, their full length entitled “Conjuring A New Reality” was released into the world and is being met with great response all over the globe.

“Executing a production influenced by the delicate line of the Post-Rock adorned with atmospheric Shoegaze passages, the voices interpreted by the women are aggressive roars of black metal which are interspersed with soft voices giving harmony to the compositions etc. A release inspired by the beauty of nature that must be heard by fans of the genre” – El Abismo Del Metal

Out Now! VOW OF THORNS Release New Album ‘Farewell To The Sun’
Canadian Tour Dates w/ Ashbringer
Currently on their Ontario / Quebec tour with Minnesota’s Ashbringer (remaining dates listed below), London, ON’s black metal doom fusionists VOW OF THORNS‘ new album ‘Farewell To The Sun’ is now available as of July 15th on iTunes, all major online retailers and Bandcamp, where it is streaming in full at the following link: https://vowofthorns.bandcamp.com/album/farewell-to-the-sun
The album features six atmospheric tracks (mixed and mastered by Jason Walton of Agalloch) pairing the forces of black metal and doom, where the band blends the two styles with ease while maintaining a certain sense of tension and uncertainty in the air. The band is constantly shifting between disparaging black metal vocals and triumphant guitar hooks dripping with doom-encrusted bass riffs and theatrical drums. Lyrically, the vocals act like a lone wolf trailing off into a forest unwilling to look back and focusing only on what despair lay ahead.
One is able to catch a glimpse of each influence in VOW OF THORNS songwriting and their influences including Woods of Ypres, Agalloch, Drudkh, Opeth, Daylight Dies, and Wolves in the Throne Room. The band is on a journey that slowly takes on darker, lucid, and more despairing elements as they play more shows and write more records.

“‘Farewell To The Sun Pt. II, the second of the three-part title track. It observes the futility of a physical existence under the belief that transcendence hides beyond. Cares are forgotten and worries are shed when there is only one path in sight. Mortality is just a burden, but a heavy one.” comments vocalist / guitarist K. Hawthorne.

VOW OF THORNS Announce Canadian Tour Dates w/ Ashbringer
Streaming New Track ‘Meeting On The Astral Plane’
New Album ‘Farewell To The Sun’ Out July 15th
Canadian black metal doom fusionists VOW OF THORNS announce they will be hitting the road for a five-day tour of Ontario and Quebec with Minnesota’s atmospheric black metallers Ashbringer. The tour will kick off on July 12th in Montreal and wrap up on July 16th in London to support VOW OF THORNS‘ upcoming album ‘Farewell To The Sun’ due out July 15th to follow the 2013 debut EP ‘Forest Dweller’.
Their first single and the album’s opening track ‘Meeting On The Astral Plane’ is now streaming at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8kBC0qeuJ0
Guitarist D. Richards comments on the track:
“‘Meeting on the Astral Plane’ tells the story of one man’s escape from physical reality to a place of infinite possibilities; an existence free of mortal boundaries. The escape, however, is only temporary and he must return to his lowly existence and face himself, which he does in the following track ‘Great Abomination’. His experience on the astral plane leads him to believe that death may be the ultimate escape. As our protagonist’s experience progresses so does the music. From the triumphant march of the opening riff to the crushing doom encased ending.”
