“From vibrant grunge flavored conclusions to booming and fairly intense riff and rhythm displays where the otherwise clean, light toned and elegant vocals are replaced with an aggressive, dark toned and distorted growl. This is an album of contrasts and contrasting elements on a few different levels, and I’d guess that the perfect audience for this production would be those who appreciate delicate and radio friendly pop music just as much as they enjoy booming and aggressive heavy and alternative metal.” The Viking in the Wilderness

Montreal, QC – December 13, 2024

Out Now! Kuwait’s ABZY’s New Album “Hollow Bloom” Tells A Story of Growth w/ Intimate Sounds And Heavy Tunes

Kuwaiti singer-songwriter and metal enthusiast, ABZY (frontman of WAZIN and former vocalist & guitarist of Srai) returns to close out 2024 with his debut full-length album “Hollow Bloom” out now as of December 12, 2024.

Embracing the energy of METAL, Middle Eastern roots, along with a global music palette and his personal experiences, he has fashioned it all to present a 10-track journey. The record dives into the beauty of contrasts-soft, intimate sounds meet heavy, intense moments, all woven together to tell a story of growth and transformation. Hollow Bloom is for anyone who’s felt the pull between light and shadow, the challenge and beauty of change. This project is deeply personal ABZY, and sharing it with the world is his dream.

“I’ve always longed to be heard and to share my stories with the world. Through making music, I discovered the perfect outlet—it feels like the most natural path for me, my true calling, and my sole purpose in life. I believe fans will truly enjoy the album because it offers a diverse blend of vibes, ensuring there’s something for everyone to connect with. I want listeners to connect with the music and enjoy the journey it takes them on. I also hope to show them that, in today’s world, anyone can create meaningful art—even from the comfort of their own bedroom. Grateful for your support, join me on this musical journey, Much love!” adds ABZY.

“Hollow Bloom” is a raw, introspective exploration of the human experience, blending metal, rock, and soft tones into a compelling sonic journey. ABZY’s powerful songwriting captures the emotional turmoil of past trauma, the weight of toxic relationships, and the universal search for peace, all wrapped in a perfect balance of aggressive and soothing melodies.

From the opening track, Mirror, which delves into self-recovery, to the closing song, Broken World, a poignant critique of societal issues, Hollow Bloom never shies away from confronting life’s toughest challenges. Each track feels deeply personal, yet universally relatable. Songs like Snake and Hurricane convey the pain of betrayal and toxic relationships, while Karma and Mistakes reflect self-awareness and growth. Influencer is a sharp critique of the impact of social media, making a powerful statement on the responsibility of modern influencers.

The album’s emotional depth is balanced by its musical versatility. The heavy riffs and pounding drums create intense moments, while softer, more introspective moments offer respite. This ebb and flow of energy adds an unpredictable yet cohesive dynamic to the album, keeping listeners hooked from start to finish. Hollow Bloom isn’t just an album; it’s an experience.

“I initially planned to release these songs as singles, but my fans have been asking for an album, so I decided to give them what they wanted. Plus, I already have other songs ready to release next year!” adds ABZY.

People can expect an amazing time and incredible energy from the live shows. ABZY has plans in 2025 for live performances to leave everyone with a smile on their faces and a spark of inspiration in their hearts.

If there’s anything guaranteed in life beyond death and taxes, it’d be living through one-too-many panic attacks. Saskatoon hard rock band Saintvicious reflects on their personal experiences dealing with anxiety on their latest single, “Stranglehold”.

Supported by metalcore-inspired instrumentals and layered vocal delivery, the track’s visually dense lyrics personify anxiety as a separate entity that is given every sacrifice that it asks for, but it’s never enough.

“Some days it’s hard to want to leave your bed,” guitarist Ryan Kimmerly explains, “There are those times where you just think ‘What if-’ about every possible thing that could go wrong. And does it ever turn out to be this worst-case scenario that you’ve spent so much time hashing out? Usually not, but anxiety’s like that, right?”

Ryan continues, “By the time you get to whatever you’ve been obsessing over, you just end up looking for something wrong to prove those ideas in your mind right when really, it’s exactly that – it’s all in your head.”

“Stranglehold” will be available to stream as of Friday, June 18 on Spotify, Apple Music, and all other streaming platforms at https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/saintvicious/stranglehold

About:
There’s no denying that the sonic brash of Canadian five-piece Saintvicious lives up to the latter half of their name. With snarling riffs cranked between catchy vocals and tight rhythms, the Saskatoon outfit is an exhibit of hard rock – with all its bruises and attitude.

With a prolific start in the band’s infancy – from performing alongside major artists like Pop Evil and Royal Tusk, to their debut album being placed as one of the Top 10 Saskatchewan Albums of 2020 – Saintvicious is on-sight to grow into the forefront of Canadian hard rock.

“Saintvicious is just getting started, and they aren’t letting anything get in their way.” – Pulse Music Journal, 2021

“Like the perfect rock band package came together and then dialed it up to 11.” – The Star Phoenix, 2019

“Over the past couple of years, the Paris of the Prairies has had its metal landscape broadened with the introduction of something more melodic and hook-laden, courtesy of Saintvicious.” – North Sask Music Zine, 2021

0 Bravewords Premiere: Canada’s Saintvicious Present A Melodic Metal Take On Socially Relevant Issues With “Sticks + Stones”

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – November 19, 2020

For fans of I Prevail, Bring Me The Horizon, Linkin Park, Nothing More

Canada’s Saintvicious Present A Melodic Metal Take On Socially Relevant Issues With “Sticks + Stones”

Song Premiere via Bravewords

Saskatoon’s Saintvicious has a topical new single out, “Sticks + Stones”; it’s a modern metal song depicting the growing polarization in Western culture, and how mob mentality has challenged our ability to be critical without the “you’re with us or against us” blowback.” The track was mixed by Josh Wildhorn (Designer Disguise, REANIMATIONS) and mastered by Grammy-nominated Tyler Smyth (I Prevail, Falling In Reverse, Blessthefall).

The new single will be very familiar to previous releases, with the addition of synthesizers for texture and as a lead instrument; allowing the band to push creative boundaries. “Sticks + Stones” is melodic, raunchy, riff-driven rock; it’s a big sounding song that provides an immersive listening experience. The band explains the track in their own words:

“It’s a loud, aggressive, fast-paced look at the frustrations of our current world. A world where being right is the be-all, end-all, and punishing those who don’t agree. It’s about wanting to be the smartest person in the room and the hypocrisy that follows someone who thinks they are never in the wrong.”

In the early days, the intention behind Saintvicious was to play high energy rock n’ roll, like a flashback to 80’s radio rock, but having performed in metalcore and thrash bands before, those elements started coming out. Now, Saintvicious is a summation of their metal influences, but within the boundaries of a standard rock formula.

“Sticks + Stones” can be heard via its premiere on Bravewords HERE.

The single will be available for stream and download as of November 20th on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music.

About:

There’s no question that the high-octane rock from Saintvicious lives up to the latter half of their name. The Canadian outfit premiered in 2018, comprised of long-time friends who were unsparing in what they love in heavy music. Gaining notoriety in their circles by executing brash riffs with rouse and fury onstage, Saintvicious is an exhibit of rock n’ roll, with all its bruises and attitude.

Following a year and a half of live shows, Saintvicious independently released their self-titled debut album, ‘Saintvicious’, on November 29, 2019, mixed and mastered by Josh Wildhorn (ex-Dragged Under, Designer Disguise). The band subsequently toured through Western Canada in support of the release.

0 SAWYER PATH’s New Music Video ‘Through The Lies’ Explores The Turbulence Of A Toxic Relationship

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – May 3, 2019

For fans of Papa Roach, Bullet For My Valentine, I Prevail

SAWYER PATH’s New Music Video ‘Through The Lies’ Explores The Turbulence Of A Toxic Relationship

Montreal’s SAWYER PATH is releasing the latest video for the track ‘Through The Lies’ off their 2018 album ‘Toxic Temptation’.

Focused on writing catchy, alternative metalcore with heavy breakdowns and melodic riffs, they have worked together since 2009 and have released two EP’s and three LP’s. Over the years their sound has matured including the two new guitarists they gained as of their last release. SAWYER PATH explains the recent album:

“Our closest fans were pretty stoked by our new material. The two new guitarists have been working together for 15 years so they have quite a chemistry. That changed the sound of the band a bit, but it’s not too drastic and people love it so we’re very proud of this one.”

With relatable lyrical themes including relationships, addictions, failures, and achievements, SAWYER PATH makes an effort to inject their songs with feeling and passion. ‘Through The Lies’ is about a toxic relationship, and the band explains the video behind it:

“The video gives the audience a claustrophobic atmosphere with a dark tone. There is also a blue light on the left and a red light on the right to represent the contrast of love/hate like our album cover. We wanted the fans to feel a tormented sensation with the heavy riffs and dark lyrics, explaining a toxic relationship with someone you need to break away from.”

Melodic and groovy, ‘Through The Lies’ is recommended for fans of Bullet For My Valentine, Papa Roach, and I Prevail

‘Through The Lies’ can be watched via YouTube Channel SpaceUntravel: https://youtu.be/_-tEcSYXhaQ

‘Toxic Temptation’ is available for stream and download on Bandcamp, Spotify, iTunes.

BIO:

The band’s name comes from the character Tom Sawyer who was a wise and rebel teenager that was always looking for adventure. He understood that freedom was the principal gift of life and used this to realize his dreams. The band supports this philosophical thought that you can gain success through the freedom of doing what you love. We all have different paths in life, but it doesn’t mean that you are any less if you don’t follow the same tendencies as the majority. “Don’t go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.“ (Ralph Waldo Emerson)

Sawyer Path was a rebirth of Sean Mackay (vocals) and Alex Samson(bass/vocals) when they teamed up with drummer Pete Richard in June 2009. Since Sean and Alex used to be in a punk rock band before, the arrival of Pete drastically changed the sound of the band.

“Enter The Fog” came out in January 2013 after which the band added a new guitarist (Oliver L’Heureux) to their line-up and released their second record called “Escape My Demons” in February 2015. This EP signified the beginning of a new era for the band. In 2016, Sawyer Path added a new guitarist, Olivier Veilleux, to their line up to create a new dynamic for the next album. The third album called “Toxic Temptation”, came out on April 13th, 2018.
