Welding death, thrash, grind and hardcore, Dark Century returns in 2014 with the release of their sophomore album ‘Murder Motel’, out today, April 18th and now available on Bandcamp and IfMerch. The album is the follow up to 2009’s debut ‘Days of The Mosh’ and was produced by one of Montreal’s most respected metal producers Chris Donaldson (Cryptopsy, Mythosis, Erimha, The Agonist, Derelict, Neuraxis). Attacking with vicious lyrics in English and French, ‘Murder Motel’ features 11 tracks blending heavy speed demon guitars with pummelling drums accompanied by pounding bass force and ear grinding screams.
Known for their aggressive and hilarious approach of injecting a party of trans fat, bacon and moshing fun times (see live video of bacon throwing), the band will be performing the album at their local launch show at Cafe Chaos on April 18th with support from My Last Wish and Vaginal Scars.
“MOSHERZ!! Tonight is the night! We’re all stoked here in the Dark Century camp as we’ll be destroying the stage tonight in Montreal, all hell shall break lose as we unleash our sophomore album “Murder Motel” upon you all! Don’t forget to visit our website at www.darkcentury.ca and click in the Store section to order your physical copy of our new CD or visit our Bandcamp profile to download a digital copy if you do not live in Montreal to attend the gig tonight! To the entire world, we say: LET’S MOSH!” comments vocalist Leather King.
Album Launch Details:
Friday, April 18 – Cafe Chaos (2013 St. Denis), Montreal, QC
In 2012, Dark Century was one of the two finalists at the En Route To Heavy MTL Battle of the Bands winning their spot to play on Canada’s largest metal fest along with having shared the stage over the years with such established acts as Aborted, Misery Index, Quo Vadis, Anonymus, Rose Funeral, Exhumed, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Goatwhore, Origin, The Faceless, Battlecross, Erimha, Fuck The Facts to name a few.
Music Video – ‘Kill The Crowd’: http://youtu.be/UrWqPyl3aOI
“Their sound is an intense blend of death, thrash, grind and hardcore, giving the listener an onslaught of fast heavy guitars, pummelling drums, pounding bass all generously garnished with vocals that are broad ranging, varying from deep gutturals to face searing screams and that are reasonably decipherable across the tracks…eleven fierce tracks spanning thirty-four minutes, all of which are “mosh pit anthems” with a brutal groove and most are very up tempo, dense walls of sound, all of this together making the album a good listen.” – Metal Talk
