“Supermodel Taxidermy takes skate punk, hardcore, and thrash to the next level with loud riffs, catchy lyrics, and infectious energy.

SIEGE PERILOUS Flaunt Their Triumphant New Single “Sons of the Verdant” Off Upcoming EP “Creation’s Call” Out August 2024

Denver-based power metal outfit Siege Perilous has once again ignited the flames of epic storytelling with their newest single “Sons of the Verdant”, which comes from their second EP “Creation’s Call” slated for an August 2024 release. Influenced by LARP, historical events, and fantasy literature, the single is sure to grab the attention of listeners across the metal spectrum. The band comments:

“This song has an interesting combination of dark and triumphant. The story is a fantasy version of a story we see repeated throughout history, that of native resistance to colonizing oppressors. One of the cool things about fantasy is the ability to take these universal themes and be able to apply them without having to point at one group of people and borrow their story, especially since there are so many instances of it from Antiquity to Modern Day.”

The band goes on to explain that this is probably one of their most musically complex songs, featuring longer and more varied instrumental sections, having vocals be almost more of a punchy accent than the driving force, hitting at the right times while really letting the amazing instrumentalists in the band rock out.

Set to enrapture audiences with its fantastical lyrics and thunderous guitar riffs, “Sons of the Verdant” invites listeners into realms of adventure and wonder. It is highly recommended for fantasy fans and those with an interest in Sabaton, Manowar, and Iron Maiden.

THIRTEEN GOATS Tramples Forward With The Teaser For Their New Album “Capricorn Rising” Out July 2024

Prepare to be engulfed in a maelstrom of diabolical metal as Canada’s Thirteen Goats announces the release of their second album “Capricorn Rising” that comes out on July 12, 2024, via Exitus Stratagem Records. Combining ferocious riff-driven bangers with darkly humorous lyrics, Thirteen Goats delivers a unique blend of extreme metal that will intrigue metalheads around the world. They are teasing this new release with a clip of their upcoming lyric video for “A Wolf In Shepherd’s Clothing”. The band comments on the album:

“Thirteen Goats is back with even more furious riffage and even less respect for arbitrary subgenre boundaries. This time out, we swing for the fences with a “death metal rock opera” that tells the origin story of our mascot, Shepherd, while remaining true to the themes of our earlier work: humanity’s propensity for violence, the way power corrupts, and the urgent need for our species to find a better way together or ultimately face destruction.”

It’s been two years since the release of their debut “Servants of the Outer Dark”, and they’ve worked their asses off to bring everything fans loved about that record back with a vengeance – the frenzied fretwork, the humongous hooks, and the subtly humorous lyrics that mask much darker and more serious subjects. They’ve also worked hard to focus these elements into an offering that is more unified and consistent than anything they’ve done to date.

Is it thrash? Death? Groove? Thirteen Goats don’t care, and neither should you. This Vancouver four-piece tramples all over subgenre conventions to create an alchemical style of infernal riffs, huge hooks, and uniquely theatrical songwriting. They are recommended for fans of Carcass, Lamb of God, and System of a Down.

What the press said about 2022 album “Servants of the Outer Dark”:

#14 on Top 20 – Loud – Canadain College Radio – August 2022 (Earshot)

“An alchemical style reminiscent of Cannibal Corpse, Misery Index, classic Megadeth, melodic Swe-death, and all eras of Death and Carcass.” – Decibel

“Rips, we’re here for it.” – MetalSucks

“Perfectly marries old school death metal, blackened tendencies, and heavy metal choruses.” – Metal Injection

“THIRTEEN GOATS unapologetically raise the deathcore flag for the new decade and absolutely don’t care what people think.” – Exclaim!

“Think Vulgar Display of Power-era Pantera in a cage match with Cannibal Corpse and Ministry.” – The Georgia Straight

“A gut-punching and head-hooking offering of death metal that borrows liberally from many of the genre’s subsets, as well as bringing in elements of thrash, black metal, and grindcore.” – No Clean Singing

“With a name like THIRTEEN GOATS, it’s gonna be evil. It’s cool, thrashy, blackened groove metal, a little like a Lamb of God sound with a bit more heavy brutality going on and a dash of black metal evilness. Great stuff!” – The Mosh Pit on WORT 89.9 FM (Madison, WI)

“THIRTEEN GOATS make seriously good music and sound like they have a lot of fun doing it. They write great upbeat thrash songs with strong melodies that appropriately sway from sinister to camp and pull it off tremendously. For some classic charcuterie of extreme metal mixed with a bit of tongue in cheek, you’re well looked after here.” – Heavy Mag

“THIRTEEN GOATS is a new strength in the extreme scene.” – Metal Temple

“The starting point of Thirteen Goats and their debut album Servants Of The Outer Dark is death metal, but it doesn’t remain tied to it. They explore all types, including tech death and melodic death metal, and even genres outside of that like thrash, groove, and doom metal. Each song brings out a unique side to the band, whether it’s the politically charged ‘Prisoner’s Anthem’ or the body horror of ‘Sub-Being.’” – Heavy Music Headquarters

“Canada’s THIRTEEN GOATS are incredibly fun to listen to and at multiple points subtly humorous—and, as such, make themselves easily a breath of fresh air within the technical scene. That sense of fun is backed up with very proficient playing and dizzying creativity, far beyond what you would expect from a debuting act’s first full length… Servants of the Outer Dark is an excellent debut full-length from these guys and I can’t wait to hear more!” [9/10] – Metal Observer

“All you need is love? No. All you need is THIRTEEN GOATS. Their debut album has everything your heart could desire in a Metal record, it’s a metaphorical pizza with all the toppings and a better thrill ride of a first crack we defy you to find!” [8.5/10] – Metal Noise

“These guys have the ability and the chops to succeed, whilst channeling bands like Lamb Of God into their output.” – Man of Much Metal

“This is so good.” – Stephen Quinn, The Early Edition (CBC Radio One)

0 SHROUD OF DESPONDENCY Unleashes Relentless Cosmic Black Metal Split With LanzerRath

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – May 9, 2024

SHROUD OF DESPONDENCY Unleashes Relentless Cosmic Black Metal Split With LanzerRath

Off Split EP w/ LanzerRath Out May 10th, 2024

L-R – Rory Heikkila (all instruments), Ron Blemberg (vocals)

Prepare for an auditory descent into the abyss as Shroud of Despondency, from Michigan, USA, unveils their latest offering – a split with LanzerRath that is a true display of unrelenting cosmic black metal. This collaboration amplifies the intensity of Shroud of Despondency‘s sonic landscape, delving into the cosmic realms of negative energy that wreak havoc on creation wherever it manifests. Founder and multi-instrumentalist Rory Heikkila comments on the split:

“Shroud of Despondency prides itself on being unpredictable and remains concerned only with the artistic process. While previous albums have focused primarily on dying, death, entropy, and the despair that comes with life, in its current state it is taking a more science-fiction approach to these topics. LanzerRath has been supportive of Shroud of Despondency in the past and I approached them about the idea of a split when I realized their music was good and they were also from Michigan. We were both, oddly enough, interested in doing something around the idea of cosmic terror, and the collaboration kind of just happened from that.”

Heikkila’s journey with Shroud of Despondency began as a means of coping with personal loss and paying homage to black metal influences. Despite a hiatus from 2004-2011, the project resurged with live performances and prolific recording sessions in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Since 2015, Heikkila and Blemberg, both hailing from Michigan but based in Milwaukee, have maintained a steady output of music, characterized by their unpredictable, dark, and emotionally charged compositions.

Heikkila adds that this split and an upcoming full length continue what was started on 2016’s full length, “Of Origin, Conflict, and Recurrence”, in that it sees these negative energies as taking physical form in host bodies and wreaking havoc. The split is recommended for fans of Enslaved, Root, and Thorns.

Listen to the full stream premiere of the Shroud of Despondency / LanzerRath split via its premiere on MetalInsider HERE.

Due out on May 10, 2024, the Split EP is available for pre-order at ShroudofDespondency.bandcamp.com.

Track Listing:
1. Shroud of Despondency – The Source of Multiversal Degradation
2. Shroud of Despondency – Celestial Venom
3. LanzerRath – Nebular Collapse, The Dissolution of Order and Meaning

“Shroud has always struck a fine balance between black metal’s esoteric and progressive bookends; in addition to the skin-searing atonality and machine gun riffing inherent to the genre, the band has made it a commonality to include tasteful strains of classical, Americana and folk, not to mention thrash, doom and death metal, in their sound. Basically, I was amazed they still hadn’t had someone’s dotted line thrust in front of their faces, especially in light of 1) the black metal genre’s historical open-armed acceptance of everyone from Emperor and Vattnet Viskar to Abruptum and Panopticon, and 2) the shitloads of crap out there that gets passed off as ‘essential listening.’”- Decibel

“From top to bottom, from the beginning of the first track until the last note of the fifth and final song of the album, Air of Abrasion is simply brilliant. It’s such a wild ride of an album, with literally the first 3/5ths of the album bringing such a visceral and stunning quality, to the last two tracks showcasing an emotive and musical talent that is flat out levelling on a whole new plane, or at least that elusive plane of musical identity and awareness that few artists actually achieve. I get the feeling that no matter if Shroud of Despondency sold 100 records or 100 million records, their writing and output would still be of the same quality and magnitude.” – Teeth of the Divine

“”Claws Out is a straight shot of heavy rock n’ roll straight to the heart. With its infectious energy, blistering guitar solos, and powerhouse vocals, it’s a proof to the enduring power of the genre. Crank up the volume, grab the Aqua Net, throw up the horns, and let Lÿnx take you on a journey through the wild and untamed world of hair metal glory. MUST LISTEN TRACKS: “Rock Machine”, “Can’t Get Enough”, “Band of Brothers”, “Pull the Trigger”, “Lights Out”” – Amplify The Noise

“Lÿnx is an honest to goodness rock n roll band in a time when rock needs just that. They offer up blistering guitar riffs and solos, melodic choruses, and high energy performances that resemble the spirit of a time long gone by.” Hitonindie.com

“A brilliant release that perfectly builds on the stage that their self titled EP set. ‘Long Live Rock N Roll’ is a direct unyielding ode to what rock music used to be. A release that’s not for the faint of heart, its bold, brash and wonderfully Brutal. Landing as one of Lÿnx’s defining musical moments” Thomas Bedward – Broken 8 Records

“ Opening tracks can tell you a lot about an album. Sometimes bands come out swinging, and others take a slow burn approach. Theres no slow burn in Lÿnx. And the title track ‘Long Live Rock N Roll’ roars out of your speakers. It features a great guitar solo, fantastic percussion, and drips with 80s glam.” Dave Wilks – CGCM Radio/ Podcast

“This is a really solid, fun band that were excited about, and can’t wait to hear what’s next. So, Crank it up and press play!”- MusicNotez Magazine

VALFREYA Sneak Another Peek At Upcoming Blackened Album “Dawn of Reckoning” With Video For “Le Périple”

L-R – Daniel Simard (Guitar), Érik Grenier (Guitar), Corinne Cardinal (Lead Vocals), Jérémy Racine (Drums)

Photography by Philippe Quinn – Picture artwork by Corinne Cardinal

Since 2009, Canada’s Valfreya has been honing their sound bringing in elements from black metal, and folk metal with touches of symphonic metal to create powerful music that has been heard around the world. With an impressive five albums already under their belts, they are gearing up for the sixth “Dawn of Reckoning”, coming out on May 24, 2024. A formidable concept album that tells of the goddess Hel striking back at humanity, it is a gritty, aggressive journey into mythology. The band comments on the second single “Le Périple” (“The Journey”), which is being released now in lyric video form:

“This album marks a significant evolution in our sound. While our earlier works leaned heavily on joyful and folkloric elements, “Dawn of Reckoning” takes on a symphonic blackened death metal approach. As for the single, it represents a human’s life: Innocence, discovery, ambition, false ideas, lies… This being slowly realizes that humanity is not virtuous.”

Gone are the days of folk metal and Viking metal. Valfreya invites listeners to embrace dark symphonies intertwined with tumultuous guitar riffs that will leave an indelible mark on their minds. “Dawn of Reckoning” promises to guide audiences through a journey of bitterness, nostalgia, and apocalyptic destruction, all set against a backdrop of cold nature and epic melodies.

Valfreya is a Canadian blackened death symphonic metal band hailing from Montreal. With a diverse discography that spans multiple genres, Valfreya continues to push the boundaries of metal music with its innovative sound and uncompromising vision. They are recommended for fans of Xaon, Fleshgod Apocalypse, and Carach Angren.

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – March 6, 2024

The Distinguished Order of Disobedience (The D.O.O.D.) Question Authority In New Single “Subterfuge”

The Distinguished Order of Disobedience (The D.O.O.D.), from Sarasota, Florida, USA, is back with a vengeance, ready to shake the foundations of the metal scene with their latest single, “Subterfuge”. Following the success of their January 2023 single release, “Chaos for the Fly”, The D.O.O.D. is set to continue their musical onslaught, gearing up for the launch of their upcoming studio album in mid-2024. The band comments on the single:

“Subterfuge is the second single to be released, and it is a banger. It calls back to the days of thrash metal and has a defiant spirit in itself. This song takes a look at how we as a people in this country and others, regardless of political affiliation, are lied to on a regular basis for the gain of the greedy. It aims to speak to all of the common people and encourage everyone to speak up for what they believe in and not take everything that is fed to them by people in power at face value. We don’t believe in telling people where to hang their political hats, but rather to remind everyone to question authority, and that many speaking up as one is more powerful than the few.”

This single, along with the upcoming full-length is the next evolution of The D.O.O.D.’s music. They try to change a little with every album without compromising who they are, and this release moves them forward while paying homage to some of their favorite metal influences. They hope listeners will find “Subterfuge” exciting and thought-provoking, all the while keeping things fun.

Established in 2004, The D.O.O.D. has steadily risen to prominence, captivating audiences with their unique blend of hard-hitting music and theatrical stage presence. With five studio albums under their belt, direct support for numerous national acts, and a standout performance at one of America’s largest music festivals, The D.O.O.D. is rapidly solidifying their place on the national stage. They are recommended for fans of Lamb of God, Pantera, and Avatar.

“Great Live Show!!!!” – STEPHANIE JENSEN (Former A&R For Chuck D, Infernal TV)

“ Great show!! I like the added video aspects and the sound is very muscular.” – MATT LaPLANT Producer

“Some bands are monsters in the studio. Others are killers on the stage. Occasionally, a select few pop up that are masters of video. The truly rare ones, however, are fully capable of blowing your senses in any medium they want. Sarasota’s own The D.O.O.D. (short-hand for The Distinguished Order of Disobedience) is firmly entrenched on that shortlist of acts that can (and will) snatch you by the hair and subject you to the thunder… in every way imaginable.” – BamRising – The Sound of the Underground

Omnivide seeks to offer listeners a complete experience, combining excitement, energy, and contrasting emotions throughout the album. The third single “Cosmic Convergence” takes the listener to the end of days, which the band explains in further detail:

“Lyrically, this song is about the Big Crunch, the opposite of the Big Bang, when astrophysicists predict that the universe will stop expanding and instead collapse on itself back to a single, infinitely small and dense point of matter. The lyrics describe this process in a poetic way in the first section of the song, with the final chorus shifting perspectives from that of the universe itself to a single human witnessing this process, with the lines ‘One final cry/Begging not to die/As all we are is swallowed by stars’.”

“Cosmic Convergence” was written by Samuel Frenette and is composed of some fast and technical riffs, some more straightforward, but all very melodic with heavy layers of orchestration, and a lot of clean vocals compared to most songs on the album. This song is extremely high-octane in a melancholic and epic way, that tries to communicate the sense of desperation and urgency of the lyrics, with the song being about the end of the universe.

Dark melodies, groovy punches, distorted chord progressions, screaming vocals, and melodic guitar solos are the key elements in this apocalyptic and epic song. It is recommended for all prog fans, especially those with an interest in Obscura, Alkaloid, and Devin Townsend.

Iceland’s Drungi channel the vast landscapes of their homeland into eerie and powerful metal that will evoke a variety of emotions and cast the listener into folklore accompanied by exciting music. They are releasing their debut album “Hamfarir Hugans” on April 5th and the first look is with the single “Alda” (Wave), which is out now on YouTube. The band had the following today about this release:

“Alda was the first official single off our upcoming debut album. Having been in the back of our bassist’s head for numerous years he presented it to the band and something clicked in everyone’s mind. Following the intense feeling of drowning in one’s emotion and the sometimes suicidal feelings one has following a downforce of emotion, the song emphasizes that feeling with a rhythm pushing the oceanic feeling forward.”

The band continues to say that the flow of writing for “Alda” was significantly faster than most of their other songs and it spoke to them in a way that many others had not and thus it received the first single spot along with the first track of the album. It was something they knew right away would be a song worth sharing with the masses. The suicidal imagery of the songs comes from the Icelandic saying “Að ganga í sjóinn” or “walking into the ocean”, which is still to this day a form of suicide practiced in Iceland. Something each member of the band can connect to.

Drungi, formed in 2019, is comprised of Sjafnar Björgvinsson on vocals, Rúnar Gunnarsson on lead guitar, Loki Gunnarsson on rhythm guitar, Magnús Ólafsson on bass, and Sandra Bergþórsdóttir on drums. The band has been on a steady rise, captivating audiences with their unique blend of rock, black‘n‘roll, and doom. Having played notable festivals such as Lemmy Rock Festival 2022 and Culture Night 2022, Drungi has become a force to be reckoned with in the Icelandic music scene.

0 Canada’s Lÿnx Sultry And Steamy First Single “Shake It Up” Off New Album “Claws Out” Out May 2024

February 27, 2024
by Asher
· Lynx (Bullzhorn Records) · Music News

Lÿnx, Calgary, Canada’s ferocious force in hard rock/hair metal, is gearing up to drench crowds with their much-anticipated album slated for release on May 9, 2024. Emerging from the ashes of the pandemic in 2020, Lÿnx quickly established themselves as a powerhouse quartet, fueled by a shared love for the iconic sounds of 80s rock. The forthcoming album “Claws Out” is a sonic journey that encapsulates the band’s dedication to the glory days of rock, blending it seamlessly with the contemporary polish and gritty authenticity of their modern influences. The first look at what’s to come is the steamy video single “Shake It Up”, which they comment on:

“Every band needs that one fast-paced shake your ass kind of song, something to get the ladies moving and the men groovin’. Shake It Up has all the feels from the catchy riffs to the furious guitar solo. Strong bass to keep the beat, banging drums you’ll feel in your chest, and a screeching vocal tune that may just have you coming back for more!!!”

Lÿnx’s first two records “Long Live Rock N Roll” (2020) and S/T (2020) were six-track EPs, however this time they’re going all the way with a full ten-song album. The anthemic choruses, scorching guitar solos, and powerhouse vocals that have become synonymous with Lÿnx promise an album that will leave fans screaming for more.

Influenced heavily by glam and hair metal greats, Lÿnx exudes charm and charisma with a little bit of grease and grit. Suitable for all lovers of rock n’ roll, they are highly recommended for fans of Motley Crue, Guns N Roses, and Skid Row.
