They were born in blood, conceived in Hell, and reanimated by accident! Bent on cannibalizing the entire human race, Toronto, Canada’s Blood Opera has already infected whole populations with their raunchy and often controversial live displays of violence, gore, and perverse sexual acts! Having feasted on human flesh with bands such as GWAR and being endorsed by the zombie Godfather himself, George A. Romero, these purveyors of so-called “Dead Metal” have quickly become Canada’s number one horror metal act. They are riled up and ready to release their first full-length album “Songs in the Key of Death” on February 24th and to prime listeners for the bloodbath, they have released two video singles “The Gates of Hell” featuring guest keyboards by Maurizio Guarini (Goblin) and “Be My Victim” featuring a voice-over by actor Tony Todd (Candyman), which they share in further detail:

“The Gates of Hell was inspired by the cult film of the same name. Another heavy track brings in more modern influences and progressions. It features guest keyboard work by Goblin’s Maurizio Guarini. “Be My Victim” is a bonus track from 2022 and features actor Tony Todd and is based on the film Candyman. As it is an older song it features a couple of members no longer in the band but as it is an important song for us we wanted to include it. Fans of Ghost will dig this keyboard and chorus-driven rocker.”

On “Songs in the Key of Death”, Blood Opera wants to pay tribute to the genre films they love and mix metal with the macabre. The band was originally to be the live musicians for a proposed Return of the Living Dead musical that unfortunately did not come to fruition.

With powerful operatic vocals, sleazy guitar riffs, and blasphemous lyrics inspired by some of the scariest movies ever made, one thing is for sure- if the gates of Hell are left open, it could mean the end of all humanity!

Due out on February 24, 2024, the fiendish feeding frenzy of “Songs in the Key of Death” is recommended for fans of GWAR, Dokken, and WASP and is available for album pre-order at https://bloodopera.bandcamp.com.

“Toronto’s very own, Blood Opera primed the audience for the forthcoming onslaught…Blood Opera, local purveyors of the horror business, celebrating debauchery by toasting the crowd with a ceremonious Blood Chug!” – John Gallant (Live in Limbo)

“Blood Opera’s new single, “Be My Victim,” is a serious rock n’ roll homage to many aspects of the original Candyman film, including the nostalgia of playing scary childhood games, and the fear of losing complete control.” – Rue Morgue

0 Thrash La Reine New Music Video For Traditional French Canadian Singalong “Au Chant de l’Alouette” | Nouveau vidéoclip de Thrash La Reine pour la chanson traditionnelle canadienne-française « Au chant de l’alouette »

For fans of Alestorm, Powerwolf, Ghost, King Diamond, Anonymus

Thrash La Reine New Music Video For Traditional French Canadian Singalong “Au Chant de l’Alouette”

This past July, Montreal, Canada’s Thrash La Reine announced they will being taking a hard turn from their classic metal/thrash roots and into folk metal territory with their forthcoming album “Notre-Dame-de-l’Enfer”, which will be a compendium of French Canadian/ Quebec folk tales. To give fans a sneak peek at the full length’s sound, they unleashed its first single “Au Chant de L’Alouette”, a cover of the traditional French Canadian song.

Today, the francophone metal band shares their new music video for the lead single via its premiere on MetalUniverse HERE.

The band explains the track and video:

“A lot of people already know the lyrics of this song as it is often sung in family reunions or at night around campfires. For people who do not know about it, this type of song is a ‘’chanson à répondre’ (answering song)’ which means that the lead singer sings the first line of the verse, then the other singers or crowd answer by singing the same line. It is often sung during parties and gatherings. We wanted to give the song a modern edge, so we changed the melodies a bit and added a lot of gang vocals to throw the party in!”

“Notre-Dame-de-l’Enfer” will be unleashed via Quebec-based label Bam & Co this coming Fall 2021 and will be the third release from the band following “La Foi, La Loi, La Croix” (2019) and “Le Métal Est Notre Langue” (2018). It is the band’s attempt to make a metal opera about French Canadian stories, which will shine some light on French folklore presented in an energetic and catchy fashion. Thrash La Reine is recommended for fans of Alestorm, Powerwolf, and King Diamond.

Nouveau vidéoclip de Thrash La Reine pour la chanson traditionnelle canadienne-française « Au chant de l’alouette »

En juillet dernier, les montréalais de Thrash La Reine ont mentionné qu’ils s’éloigneraient de leurs influences heavy / thrash pour s’aventurer dans les territoires du folk métal, avec leur prochain album « Notre-Dame-de-l’Enfer », qui sera un recueil de chansons traitant de contes et légendes québécoises et canadiennes-françaises. Pour donner un aperçu du son de l’album, ils ont sorti un premier extrait « Au Chant de L’Alouette », une reprise d’une chanson folklorique canadien-français.

Aujourd’hui, le groupe métal francophone partage un vidéoclip de cette chanson, dont la primeur se fera sur Metaluniverse ICI.

Le groupe explique la chanson et le vidéoclip:

« On a eu une demande spéciale de jouer cette chanson lors de notre spectacle de la St-Jean-Baptiste en 2019 et on a fini par incorporer cette pièce à notre répertoire, ce qui nous a donné l’idée d’ajouter plus d’éléments folklorique à nos nouvelles chansons. Il y a beaucoup de gens qui connaissent déjà les paroles, étant donné qu’elle est souvent chantée dans les réunions de familles ou sur le bord d’un feu de camp. On a toutefois voulu y donner une touche moderne et différente, alors nous avons un peu modifié les mélodies et avons ajouté beaucoup de voix en groupes pour la rendre plus festive et rassembleuse ! »

« Notre-Dame-de-l’Enfer » sortira cet automne, via la maison de disque québécoise Bam & Co, et sera la troisième sortie du groupe après « La foi, la loi, la croix » (2019) et « Le métal est notre langue » (2018). Cet album prendra la forme d’un opéra métal sur les légendes canadiennes-françaises, et saura faire briller le folklore québécois de manière énergétique et accrocheuse. Thrash La Reine est recommandé pour les fans de Alestorm, Powerwolf et King Diamond.

Montreal, QC – June 22, 2021

For fans of Alestorm, Powerwolf, Ghost, King Diamond, Anonymus

Thrash La Reine Releases Cover Of Traditional French Canadian Singalong “Au Chant de l’Alouette”

Montreal, Canada’s Thrash La Reine, is coming at you hard and fast in their usual manner, but they take a hard turn into folk metal territory with their forthcoming album “Notre-Dame-de-l’Enfer”, which will be a compendium of French Canadian/ Quebec folk tales. The first single off this album is “Au Chant de L’Alouette”, a cover of a traditional French Canadian song. The band explains the track:

Another key element found in Quebecois music is present in the bridge, one voice sings the same note while the lead voice sings a melody. The subtlety adds to the immersion that Thrash La Reine prides itself on, all of their lyrics are in French while still remaining accessible for people not fluent in the language.

This upcoming album will be the third release from the band, following “La Foi, La Loi, La Croix” (2019) and “Le Métal Est Notre Langue” (2018). It is the band’s attempt to make a metal opera about French Canadian stories, which will shine some light on French folklore presented in an energetic and catchy fashion. Thrash La Reine is recommended for fans of Alestorm, Powerwolf, and King Diamond.

To ensure everyone has a cool song to party to during the French Canadian national holiday and for the summer, “Au Chant de L’Alouette” will be available on St-Jean-Baptiste (Fête Nationale du Québec), June 24, 2021 and the entire album will be released in autumn of this year.

Thrash La Reine sort une reprise de la chanson à répondre traditionnelle “Au Chant de l’Alouette”

Les Montréalais de Thrash La Reine reviennent à la charge dans leur style lourd et rapide, mais ils prennent cette fois-ci un tournant radical dans le territoire du folk métal avec leur prochain album “Notre-Dame-de-l’Enfer”, qui recueillera des chansons traitant des contes et légendes du folklore québécois. Le premier extrait de cet album : « Au Chant de L’Alouette », est une reprise d’une chanson traditionnelle canadienne-française. Le groupe explique le morceau :

« Beaucoup de gens connaissent déjà les paroles de cette chanson car elle est souvent chantée dans les réunions de famille ou le soir autour des feux de camp. Pour ceux qui ne la connaissent pas, ce type de chanson est une ”chanson à répondre”, ce qui signifie que le chanteur principal chante la première ligne du couplet, puis les autres chanteurs ou la foule répondent en chantant la même ligne. Elle est souvent chantée lors de fêtes et de rassemblements. Nous voulions donner à la chanson une touche moderne, alors nous avons changé un peu les mélodies et avons ajouté beaucoup de «gang vocals» pour donner un esprit festif et rassembleur à la chanson. »

Un autre élément clé de la musique québécoise est présent dans le pont de la chanson, où une voix chante la même note tandis que la voix principale chante une mélodie. Cette subtilité s’ajoute à l’originalité et à la fierté de Thrash La Reine : toutes leurs paroles sont en français tout en restant accessibles aux personnes ne maîtrisant pas la langue.

Ce prochain album sera la troisième publication du groupe, après « La Foi, La Loi, La Croix » (2019) et « Le Métal Est Notre Langue » (2018). Il marque une tentative de faire un opéra métal sur des histoires canadiennes-françaises, en mettant l’emphase sur le folklore québécois présenté de façon énergique et entraînante. Thrash La Reine est recommandé pour les fans d’Alestorm, Powerwolf et King Diamond.

Pour s’assurer que tout le monde ait une chanson entraînante pour faire la fête lors de la fête nationale canadienne-française et pour l’été, « Au Chant de Alouette » sera disponible pour la St-Jean-Baptiste (Fête Nationale du Québec), le 24 juin 2021. Quant à l’album, il sortira à l’automne de cette année.

0 Out Now! Vancouver Heavy Metal SPELL’s New Album “Opulent Decay” via Bad Omen Records + New Music Video ‘Dawn Wanderer’

(contact info below)

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – April 10, 2020

For fans of Haunt, Ghost, Dokken, Triumph, Blue Oyster Cult

Out Now! Vancouver Heavy Metal SPELL’s New Album “Opulent Decay” via Bad Omen Records

New Music Video ‘Dawn Wanderer’

Hailing from Vancouver, British Columbia, SPELL‘s new LP “Opulent Decay” is now available as of April 10, 2020 via Bad Omen Records. With the full length’s release, they are also sharing the new video ‘Dawn Wanderer’.

Watch HERE.

Album Stream Bandcamp and Spotify.

Shrouding their listeners in hypnotizing heavy metal, the ten-track album is a menagerie of atmosphere, heaviness and delicately woven melodies. This will be the third album from the group following “Full Moon Sessions” (2014) and “For None And All” (2017). Reflecting on the progression through the albums, bassist/vocalist Cam Mesmer comments:

“Many bands find their third album the most difficult because they’re trying to recreate what they’ve already done; for us, it gets easier and better every time. As ideas emerged during the writing process, we nurtured them and gave them all the time and care they needed to flourish and bloom.”

As a precursor to the album release, SPELL has already released a video for the first track from “Opulent Decay” entitled ‘Psychic Death’. According to Mesmer, all the tracks on the album “deal with the contrast between opulence and austerity, and the decay that results from imbalance. Our drive to avoid suffering is strong, but it can be overcome by the love for another and the desire to put them before yourself. ‘Opulent Decay’ examines this balance and the dangers that await on either side of the pendulum.”

Once again creating a powerful and enchanting sonic experience, SPELL invites you to intertwine yourself with romanticism and heavy metal with “Opulent Decay” today.

The album is available for stream, download and physical format at the following link HERE.

Music Video – Deceiver – here.

Music Video – Psychic Death – here.

Track Listing:
1. Psychic Death
2. Opulent Decay
3. Sibyl Vane
4. Primrose Path
5. The Iron Wind
6. Dawn Wanderer
7. Deceiver
8. Ataraxia
9. Imprisoned By Shadows
10. Saturn’s Riddle

About:

Spell have already proven themselves mighty chroniclers of the more supernatural quarters of the heavy music sphere. Recorded at Little Red Sounds studio in New Westminster, B.C., ‘Opulent Decay’ is an emotionally charged psychic travelogue wreathed in mysticism. The album embraces harmonic guitar heraldry while also showcasing a band as adept at essaying a hymnal acapella piece like the beguiling “Ataraxia” as they are the wistful and melancholic “Dawn Wanderer”, the pastoral-tinged and progressively slanted “Primrose Path” or the catchy and barnstorming title-track.

Spell’s debut, 2014’s ‘Full Moon Sessions’, and 2017’s critically-celebrated LP, ‘For None And All’, are proof positive of an outfit — completed by drummer and co-vocalist Al Lester and guitarist Graham McVie – whose grasp of diverting dynamics matched their infectious songcraft. However, these were apparently mere preludes to ‘Opulent Decay’, the band’s third and finest record to date.

“If this band was a van, they would be the raddest, most pimped out airbrushed 70’s van with plush interior and a BOOMING system. SPELL is a perfect name for them, because their songs are jamming heavy metal magic.” – Cvlt Nation

“Vancouver power trio SPELL make what they call “hypnotizing heavy metal,” a captivating mix of Rush- and Blue Öyster Cult–hailing classic rock, lyrics inspired by Romantic poets like Keats, Shelley and Coleridge, and more modern elements that evoke everyone from Opeth to Ghost.” – Revolver Mag

Inspired By Soviet Era Posters, RED CAIN Share Lyric Video “All Is Violence” via MetalMasterKingdom

Debut Album “Kindred: Act I” Out Now

Performing On Vancouver’s Hyperspace Metal Festival April 27th

Inspired by Soviet-era posters, Calgary’s RED CAIN have put together a visually thrilling lyric video for their track “All Is Violence” off their debut album “Kindred: Act I”released this past March.

Teaming up with MetalMasterKingdom, the band is premiering the video at the following link: https://www.metalmasterkingdom.com/home/red-cain-premiere-lyric-video-for-all-is-violence

Vocalist Evgeniy Zayarny adds:

“Visually inspired by Soviet propaganda posters, with images brilliantly designed by Igor Zayarny, ‘All Is Violence’ is a lethal offensive tying pagan Russian conceptions of righteous and sinful violence as championed by pagan gods Veles and Morana to an examination of violence in the modern era, backed by thunderous drums and downtuned, aggressive guitar work. The lyric video doubles as an introduction to individual Red Cain band members, with individual and group photos taken by Quay Evano. Fire, reload, step forward, and wrestle with your bestial nature because -‘All Is Violence’.”

RED CAIN first full-length “Kindred: Act I” was produced by Sascha Laskow (Every Hour Kills, ex-Divinity) with the band at Perfect Filth Studios and features guests Kobra Paige (Kobra And The Lotus), Daniel Louden (Benevolent Like Quietus) and guitarist Tyler Corbett. The album’s artwork was done by Timur Khabirov with cover design by Igor Zayarny.

The band has shared a few other videos in support of the debut album. Their music video for “Zero” recently won the Award of Recognition in the Best Music Video category at the Accolade Global Film Competition in Los Angeles.

Lyric Video – Wing of The Crow” ft. Kobra Paige (Kobra and The Lotus) – https://youtu.be/–MNPiODQD8
Music Video – “Snakebouquet” – https://youtu.be/Lk9Wi2lzbW0

Born out of the emerging metal scene of Calgary, AB, RED CAIN is a modern melodic metal project with European roots. With intricate songwriting, a heavy yet melodic feel reminiscent of progressive acts, and eerie ambient elements, RED CAIN champion a fluid, dynamic, and unique musical style centered around telling dark, conceptual Faustian sagas and constructing those into an unforgettable live experience. Listeners might well pick out elements reminiscent of such luminary acts as Kamelot, Symphony X, Tesseract, Draconian, Marilyn Manson, whipped into a venomous new shape.

“Kindred: Act I” is available on Bandcamp here, iTunes, CD Baby, Spotify.

In additional news, RED CAIN will be performing on this year’s Hyperspace Metal Festival in Vancouver, BC for the second night of the event on April 27th at the Rickshaw Theatre alongside Crimson Shadows, Judicator and many more. Full details and line up can be found here.

“Symphonic progressive metal with alternative and gothic nuances – Red Cain are well on their way to establishing new territory in story telling and musical match-ups. Kindred: Act I represents a fine opening album for these Canadians, and should lend itself well to various multi-media opportunities for live show and film options. The best records connect on a mind, body, and spirit level – and this will be one that should be in the conversation for visionary, forward-thinking effort, proving the ink is not dry on what metal can bring to the table for innovation.” – Dead Rhetoric

“Kindred: Act I is all about raw and unbridled metal power. A thoughtful brand of metal that – for once – does not base itself on mindless growling about the stage along normal lines of metal conduct. Instead they rip the established status quo to pieces and attack with a very unusual metal dish. One that comes with a distinct groove to boot… a very tasty fusion of Progressive and Power Metal that we have rarely seen to date. A metal dish best consumed red-hot. Have some, you will not regret it.” – Rock Music Raider

“I couldn’t be more impressed with this band and album from the opening track “Snake Bouquet” to the last track “Wing Of The Crow” which is an awesome closing track with guest vocals from Kobra Paige of Kobra and The Lotus. This album takes you on an epic and melodic journey, I feel fans of bands from Avatar to Kamelot to Marilyn Manson and anything in between will really love this album.” – Crannk

“Red Cain have produced a very awesome album. It sounds and looks very professional, has great riffs and epic melodies. Keep an eye on these guys, they will come very far.” – Lyrical Spell Magazine

“Overall, this was a very original album. I find it very difficult to locate a counterpart for RED CAIN, as they have clearly created their own sound in the genre. What we have here is a two headed beast of sad and melancholy music on one side and angry and raging music on the other. The two combine somewhere in the middle with flair for the dramatic and impassioned vocals. This is definitely worth your time if you are looking for something off the beaten path.” – Metal Temple

“Kindred: Act I is all about raw and unbridled metal power. A thoughtful brand of metal that – for once – does not base itself on mindless growling about the stage along normal lines of metal conduct. Instead they rip the established status quo to pieces and attack with a very unusual metal dish. One that comes with a distinct groove to boot… a very tasty fusion of Progressive and Power Metal that we have rarely seen to date. A metal dish best consumed red-hot. Have some, you will not regret it.” – Rock Music Raider

RED CAIN Reveal Their “Kindred: Act I” In Full Album Stream via Beatroute

Debut Album Out March 1st

With the release of their first full-length “Kindred: Act I” on the horizon (March 1, 2019), RED CAIN are proud to premiere the album’s full stream via Beatroute.

The band comments:

“With our first full-length album “Kindred: Act I”, we dive into a conceptual journey through the primordial depth of the human psyche, surfacing to tell mythological tales of war, love, and transformation. Slavic, Celtic, and Egyptian myths all find a place within the tracks, in a venomous new form – battle hymns, sorrow-songs, and eldritch chants. These are tracks we’ve put our blood and spirit into, and while listener-friendly, also contain a huge variety of layering and elements that require a number of listens to truly explore. Each tells a story, and in fact, the concept behind the album (and there is one, which will also be continued in Kindred: Act II), is able to be picked up here.

Musically, “Kindred: Act I” is a further continuation of our EP, and fans will see that while it is still clearly a Red Cain album, there has been a significant progression in both style/songwriting and production. We have kept a raw sound in a modern package, and the tracks themselves are very different yet very connected to one another through a variety of musical, lyrical, and storytelling threads. With our non-musical elements such as music and lyric videos, accompanying short stories, and the lyrics themselves, we hope to tell a compelling tale that appeals to a wide audience. To us, “Kindred: Act I” is an ancient Sumerian incantation etched into the fiberglass wall of a derelict starship. Who can say what’s inside?”

“With a lot of buzz surrounding the new recording, the local scene is soon going to start seeing this group all over local venues.” – PureGrainAudio (2016 S/T EP)

“Red Cain comes at you with a head-banging force. The impact when you hear the song Guillotine will be leaving you wanting to hear more!” – CFMU 93.3 FM – Master Radio (Hamilton, ON) (2016 S/T EP)

“What works best for Red Cain are those spots in between the sheer intensity of what’s on display – a proper dynamic understanding of quieter introspection, something that makes Opeth and Steven Wilson so brilliant. At 24 minutes and change, Red Cain are on the right path, sure to drum up significant interest as the band deliver songs that contain hooks while pushing boundaries – always the best game plan for long-term appeal in this genre.” – Dead Rhetoric (2016 S/T EP)

“A strong new band in the progressive metal genre, performed with ardor and passion! ” – Lords of Metal

“Red Cain have the songs and are worthy of your time if you are seeking a new symphonic metal band.” – Get Ready To Rock

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – February 14, 2019

For fans of Kamelot, Symphony X, Alter Bridge, Tesseract, Ghost

RED CAIN Premiere Music Video “Zero” via EverythingIsNoise; Album “Kindred: Act I” Out March 1st

With the release of their first full-length “Kindred: Act I” on the horizon (March 1, 2019), RED CAIN are proud to premiere their first full music video for “ZERO” via EverythingIsNoise.

For this video, the RED CAIN collaborated with world-class director Rik Zak and cinematographer Jun Ren to recreate their own vision of the vampire myth based on the tale of Osiris – the Egyptian god of the dead – and incorporated this vision into the concept behind the album itself.

Filmed in the dystopian and inhospitable badlands of Drumheller, Alberta, the story-driven video features RED CAIN frontman Evgeniy Zayarny alongside R.A.V. – vocalist of power metal collective Ravenous, in the main roles, and follows the track’s lyrical content in exploring the relationship between fate and free will, success and failure, the search for immortality – and an inglorious death.

With the video of “ZERO”, they travel to ancient Egypt – dry, scorched, old as time, built on top of dead empires; littered with secrets and the devoured remains of hundreds of gods.

Watch “ZERO” at the following link: http://everythingisnoise.net/premieres/follow-the-ancient-myth-of-osiris-with-red-cains-video-for-zero/

Album pre-order for “Kindred: Act I” is available on Bandcamp here along with previously released singles on iTunes, CD Baby, Spotify.
