Co-headlining opening Friday night on May 1st, Chicago’s long‑running trio MACABRE brings their unmistakable brand of Murder Metal to Montreal, an unholy fusion of death metal, thrash, grind, and twisted nursery‑rhyme melodies. Since 1985, the band has carved out a cult legacy with their darkly humorous, true‑crime‑obsessed storytelling and a lineup that has remained unchanged for four decades. Expect a wild, theatrical, and utterly unmistakable performance from one of extreme metal’s most unique and enduring acts.

Also co-headlining night one of Piranha Pit Fest III, Chicago’s GORGASM stands as one of the defining forces in American brutal death metal. Since the mid‑90s, the band has carved out a reputation for hyper‑technical riffing, relentless blast‑driven intensity, and a signature blend of brutality and precision that helped shape the genre’s modern sound. Their cult‑classic releases, packed with surgical musicianship and uncompromising extremity, have earned them a loyal global following. Expect a devastating, high‑velocity set from one of brutal death metal’s most respected and enduring names.

Also supporting Friday night, extreme‑metal veterans PESSIMIST, born from Baltimore’s early ’90s death‑metal underground, have long carved out their own territory with a vicious blend of technical precision, old‑school thrash influence, and a relentlessly dark, sinister atmosphere. The band is now gearing up for the release of “Keys to the Underworld,” their first full‑length album in over two decades, with early previews hinting that it may be their most uncompromising and extreme material yet.

Co-headlining night two on Saturday, May 2nd, featuring former classic‑era members of Megadeth, David Ellefson and Jeff Young, KINGS OF THRASH deliver a high‑octane celebration of the golden age of American thrash metal. Known for performing iconic albums and deep cuts from the genre’s most influential catalog, the band brings unmatched authenticity, razor‑sharp musicianship, and the raw spirit of the 80s thrash movement. Their live shows are a full‑throttle tribute to the era that shaped heavy metal history, making them a must‑see highlight for fans of speed, precision, and old‑school aggression.

Music Video – Lockdown – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9eqD1kMDqQ​

Also co-headlining Saturday Night, Tucson, AZ’s ATROPHY are one of Arizona’s most respected thrash exports, known for their razor‑tight riffing, socially charged lyrics, and high‑energy attack. Their two late‑80s/early‑90s albums on Roadrunner Records, Socialized Hate and Violent by Nature, earned them a devoted cult following and cemented their place in the classic thrash canon. After reuniting in recent years with renewed fire, Atrophy continues to deliver the same sharp, adrenaline‑fueled intensity that made them stand out in the genre’s golden era. Expect a fierce, old‑school thrash assault from a band that helped define the sound of Southwestern speed metal.

Lyric Video – Punishment For All – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECg8hBDyhn4​

Also supporting night two, local legends and a cornerstone of Quebec’s late‑80s thrash scene, DBC (Dead Brain Cells) emerged from Montreal with a sound that blended razor‑sharp speed, crossover energy, and socially conscious lyrics. Their cult‑classic albums Dead Brain Cells (1987) and Universe (1989) showcased a band unafraid to push beyond traditional thrash, mixing technical musicianship with progressive, sci‑fi‑driven themes. After years of underground reverence, DBC’s return to the stage has reignited their legacy as one of Canada’s most unique and forward‑thinking thrash exports. Expect a powerful hometown performance from a band that helped shape Montreal’s metal identity.

Lyric Video – Pendulum – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDgyjvpKuoU

Other standout attractions at this year’s Piranha Pit Fest III: Canadian (Montreal/Toronto) metal veterans ENTROPY, known for their fierce blend of thrash, death, prog, groove, and power metal. With four independent albums and a global cult following, they’ve shared stages with legends like Annihilator, Fear Factory, Razor, Obituary, and Anvil. Expect a hard‑hitting set from one of Canada’s most distinctive underground acts. Montreal’s DOUBLE CROSS is a crossover thrash/hardcore delivering fast, aggressive, no‑frills energy. With their raw punk edge and high‑intensity live attack, they are one of the city’s rising underground standouts. Montreal crossover thrashers MUTANK explode with high‑energy, pit‑ready aggression inspired by Slayer, Exodus, D.R.I., and Suicidal Tendencies. Formed in 2013, they’ve built a reputation for fast, chaotic riffing, wild live shows, and a relentless DIY spirit. Their long‑awaited new album, Think Before You Think, marked their return with ten tracks of volcanic thrash fury, following their cult‑favorite EP W.H.A.T.S.T.H.A.T. and their Wacken Open Air appearance after winning the Wacken Metal Battle Canada. Expect a ferocious, high‑octane set built for moshing. Toronto’s WARMACHINE delivers a melodic yet heavy blend of power and thrash metal, active since 1994 and recently revived after a five‑year hiatus. Led by vocalist/guitarist Joe Di Taranto, the band is known for tight musicianship, strong hooks, and energetic live performances. With albums like Left for Dead and a new release in the works, Warmachine returns to the stage with renewed fire and a sharpened modern edge.

Rappel – Mai 1 – 2 – PIRANHA PIT FEST III (Montreal)

avec MACABRE, KINGS OF THRASH (avec les membres de l’époque classique de Megadeth David Ellefson & Jeff Young), GORGASM, ATROPHY, PESSIMIST, DBC, et plus!

Montréal, QC, la capitale canadienne du heavy metal, se prépare pour le PIRANHA PIT FEST III de cette année, qui proposera deux nuits féroces de death metal, thrash et chaos heavy metal les 1er et 2 mai 2026. Présenté par le Piranha Bar (680 Ste-Catherine Ouest) et Dungeonworks Productions, le festival accueille de nouveau les fans de metal pour l’un des événements annuels les plus extrêmes de la ville, avec MACABRE, KINGS OF THRASH, GORGASM, ATROPHY, PESSIMIST, DBC et bien d’autres.

La nuit de vendredi explosera avec une vitesse vertigineuse, des riffs imbibés de gore et une sauvagerie pure old-school alors que certaines des forces les plus respectées du death metal descendront sur la ville. La nuit de samedi se transformera en une célébration haute tension du thrash classique, du speed et de la puissance inébranlable du heavy metal traditionnel.

=====

Partageant l’affiche pour l’ouverture vendredi soir le 1er mai, le trio de longue date de Chicago, MACABRE, apporte leur marque inimitable de Murder Metal à Montréal, une fusion impie de death metal, thrash, grind et de mélodies de comptines tordues. Depuis 1985, le groupe s’est forgé un héritage culte avec ses récits empreints d’humour noir et obsédés par le crime réel, et une formation qui est restée inchangée pendant quatre décennies. Attendez-vous à une performance sauvage, théâtrale et absolument inimitable de l’un des groupes les plus uniques et durables de l’extrême metal.

Co‑tête d’affiche de la première nuit du Piranha Pit Fest III, GORGASM de Chicago s’impose comme l’une des forces déterminantes du brutal death metal américain. Depuis le milieu des années 90, le groupe s’est forgé une réputation grâce à des riffs hyper techniques, une intensité implacable propulsée par des blasts, et un mélange signature de brutalité et de précision qui a contribué à façonner le son moderne du genre. Leurs sorties cultes, remplies d’une musicalité chirurgicale et d’une extrémité sans compromis, leur ont valu un public fidèle à l’échelle mondiale. Attendez‑vous à un set dévastateur et à haute vitesse de l’un des noms les plus respectés et durables du brutal death metal.

Soutenant également la soirée du vendredi, les vétérans du metal extrême PESSIMIST, issus du mouvement death metal des années 90 à Baltimore, se sont depuis longtemps taillés leur propre territoire avec un mélange vicieux de précision technique, d’influence thrash old-school et d’une atmosphère sombre et sinistre sans relâche. Le groupe se prépare maintenant à la sortie de “Keys to the Underworld”, leur premier album complet depuis plus de deux décennies, avec des aperçus précoces laissant penser qu’il pourrait s’agir de leur matériel le plus intransigeant et extrême à ce jour.

Co‑tête d’affiche la deuxième soirée, le samedi 2 mai, avec d’anciens membres de l’ère classique de Megadeth, David Ellefson et Jeff Young, KINGS OF THRASH offrent une célébration à haute énergie de l’âge d’or du thrash metal américain. Connus pour interpréter des albums emblématiques et des morceaux profonds du catalogue le plus influent du genre, le groupe apporte une authenticité incomparable, une maîtrise musicale tranchante comme un rasoir et l’esprit brut du mouvement thrash des années 80. Leurs concerts sont un hommage à toute vitesse à l’époque qui a façonné l’histoire du heavy metal, faisant d’eux un point fort à ne pas manquer pour les fans de rapidité, de précision et d’agressivité à l’ancienne.

Co-têtes d’affiche également le samedi soir à Tucson, AZ, ATROPHY est l’une des exportations de thrash les plus respectées de l’Arizona, connue pour ses riffs précis comme une lame de rasoir, ses paroles socialement engagées et son attaque pleine d’énergie. Leurs deux albums de la fin des années 80/début des années 90 sur Roadrunner Records, Socialized Hate et Violent by Nature, leur ont valu un culte fidèle et ont cimenté leur place dans le canon du thrash classique. Après s’être réunis ces dernières années avec un feu renouvelé, Atrophy continue de délivrer la même intensité tranchante et pleine d’adrénaline qui les a fait se démarquer à l’époque dorée du genre. Attendez-vous à une attaque thrash old-school féroce d’un groupe qui a contribué à définir le son du speed metal du Sud-Ouest.

Soutenant également la deuxième nuit, les légendes locales et un pilier de la scène thrash québécoise de la fin des années 80, DBC (Dead Brain Cells) a émergé de Montréal avec un son mêlant vitesse tranchante, énergie crossover et paroles socialement conscientes. Leurs albums cultes Dead Brain Cells (1987) et Universe (1989) ont présenté un groupe n’ayant pas peur de dépasser le thrash traditionnel, mélangeant virtuosité technique et thèmes progressifs inspirés de la science-fiction. Après des années de vénération underground, le retour de DBC sur scène a ravivé leur héritage en tant qu’une des exportations thrash les plus uniques et avant-gardistes du Canada. Attendez-vous à une performance puissante dans leur ville natale de la part d’un groupe qui a contribué à façonner l’identité metal de Montréal.

Autres attractions remarquables du Piranha Pit Fest III de cette année : les vétérans canadiens du metal (Montréal/Toronto) ENTROPY, connus pour leur mélange féroce de thrash, death, prog, groove et power metal. Avec quatre albums indépendants et un culte mondial, ils ont partagé la scène avec des légendes comme Annihilator, Fear Factory, Razor, Obituary et Anvil. Attendez-vous à un set percutant de l’un des groupes underground les plus distinctifs du Canada. DOUBLE CROSS de Montréal est un groupe crossover thrash/hardcore délivrant une énergie rapide, agressive et sans fioritures. Avec leur touche punk brute et leur attaque live à haute intensité, ils sont l’un des groupes underground montants de la ville. Les crossover thrashers de Montréal, MUTANK, explosent avec une aggression à haute énergie, prête pour le pit, inspirée par Slayer, Exodus, D.R.I. et Suicidal Tendencies. Formés en 2013, ils se sont forgé une réputation pour leurs riffs rapides et chaotiques, leurs concerts sauvages et un esprit DIY implacable. Leur nouvel album très attendu, Think Before You Think, marque leur retour avec dix morceaux de fureur thrash volcanique, après leur EP culte W.H.A.T.S.T.H.A.T. et leur performance au Wacken Open Air suite à leur victoire au Wacken Metal Battle Canada. Attendez-vous à un set féroce et à haute octane conçu pour le moshing. Le groupe torontois WARMACHINE propose un mélange mélodique mais lourd de power et thrash metal, actif depuis 1994 et récemment relancé après une pause de cinq ans. Mené par le chanteur/guitariste Joe Di Taranto, le groupe est connu pour sa musicalité serrée, ses refrains accrocheurs et ses performances live énergiques. Avec des albums comme Left for Dead et une nouvelle sortie en préparation, Warmachine revient sur scène avec un feu renouvelé et un tranchant moderne.

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.

Unleashing their debut album “Prisoners” earlier this month on August 7th via Bungalo Records/Universal, Raleigh, USA’s groove metal brigade WoR are sharing their next music video “Caged”. With their music focusing on various current events. The theme of the debut full length speaks to the idea that people are prisoners in a system that is failing them. The song “Caged” specifically engages on this issue in a variety of literal and figurative ways.

The band adds:

“This is the last song we wrote and it almost didn’t make it onto the album, because it was written so late in the pre-production process. ‘Caged’ was our second single released. This track is straight-up groovy, heavy, and even just plain nasty at points.”

The music video for “Caged” can be viewed via its premiere on MetalInjection HERE.

Throwing in elements of thrash, metalcore, and even hardcore punk, everyone in WoR has taken a different musical path and the variety of influences shows through in the unique and original sound. “Prisoners” is a little bit melodic and a little bit old school, and completely energetic.

The record is an extreme journey from start to finish, a metal album through and through. There are no clean guitars on the whole album, just heavy and groovy riffs. WoR shares their excitement for the release:

“This album has been in the works for several years and we finally get to show you what we have been working on nonstop for the last year. From front to back, this album is meant to take you on a heavy metal journey. It features groovy tracks such as Predator, brutal songs such as Caged, and melodic anthems such as VI Kings. While the songs are groovy and meant to give your neck whiplash, the lyrics are deep and thought out. The messages behind these songs are ones of resilience and overcoming. If you enjoy heavy riffs, melodic overtones, and just straight-up angry and in your face METAL, this album is for you!”

Groovy, raw, and old school, WoR is suitable for all fans of metal especially those with an interest in Machine Head, Sepultura, and Gojira.

“Prisoners” is available on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, Google Play, Bandcamp.

EPK

“a highly impressive slice of groove metal that will most definitely appeal to fans of Lamb Of God, Pantera and  MachineHead. Hailing from the febrile breeding ground of North Carolina, WoR lay it down with intent on ‘Predator’, stalking the deepest reaches of your aural cortexes with the declarative lead single from their forthcoming debut album, ‘Prisoners’: on the evidence of this, they won’t be taking any when it impacts on 7 August.” – Uber Rock

“The songs pack a nasty punch, leaving your body bruised and your nose bloodied. Chuggy riffs, ferocious vocals and some nods to thrash metal propel this album to excellence.” – Abrasive Noise

“…chunky riffs always have a place if they are handled as well as WoR does it.
They work their way through anthemic tunes with heavy subject matters, like “Freedom Suicide” and “Sirens,” with the latter bluntly calling out police brutality.” – Heavy Music Headquarters

“Thrashy hardcore pushing into some good grooves cool stuff.” – WORT 89.9FM  – The Moshpit (Madison, WI)

“Their music combines aggressive riffs, harmonic leads, and tasteful breakdowns with the infectious anti-authoritarian lyrics of vocalist Bobby DeMoss.” – Antichrist Magazine

“Raleigh North Carolina Groove Metal is what “Prisoners” is all about with the raw drum sound during “Kill You” adding an air of “New American Gospel” era Lamb Of God. Crews has the time keeping if the metronomic Chris Adler down to a fine art and his rapid fire, power house performance on this cut gives the Pantera groove riffs and Southern Hostility style breakdowns the underpinning that they need. “Caged” is the longest cut on the album at just over five minutes but is no less ferocious, with DeMoss being a vocal force to be reckoned with, the roars of “don’t waste my time on idol ideas” cutting even the broadest shouldered lumberjack down to size.” – Metal Noise

About:

WoR is a groove metal quintet from Raleigh, North Carolina. Their music combines aggressive riffs, harmonic leads, and tasteful breakdowns with the infectious anti-authoritarian lyrics of vocalist Bobby DeMoss.

WoR was founded in 2018 by guitarist Ben Kaiser who at the time was finishing up his college football career playing offensive line at NC State. The band was initially an escape from the rigors of the sport, and at the end of his career, he decided to give the band a legitimate go.

After cycling through a variety of members early on, WoR was joined by Bobby Demoss, the charismatic frontman who has the ability to draw in even the toughest crowd; his unique screaming style and passionate lyrics helped shape WoR’s groundbreaking identity from the get-go. In 2019, Phil Funderburk, the glue who keeps the band and the music together, joined on bass; David Nisoff, in charge of mind-blowing solos that capture everyone’s attention, joined as the second guitarist, and Hunter Crews, a consistent timekeeper and a seasoned veteran in the music business solidified the lineup as the bands’ drummer.

By the spring of 2019, WoR had begun to debut their music at live shows throughout the southeast region of the United States and played with the likes of Upon A Burning Body, Atilla, and Warbringer just to name a few.

Working collaboratively, WoR’s music focuses on various different current events using powerful lyrics to offer a unique insight into the things going on in our lives and in the world. After working closely with producer Joe Alonzo Potts and audio engineer Shaun Singerling, they plan to release their debut album “Prisoners” on August 7th, 2020, which features brutal tracks such as ‘Caged’ and ‘Predator’ in addition to melodic anthems such as ‘VI King’s.

In 2020 and 2021, WoR has extensive tours scheduled to support the release of their debut album “Prisoners”. WoR’s live shows are extremely energetic with fan involvement being a common theme. Demoss does a phenomenal job of breaking down the fourth wall and getting the crowd involved at their shows making way for insane mosh pits. It is the band’s credo that they give it their all for whatever time they are on stage whether they are playing to 2,000 people or 200 people.

Montreal’s THRASH LA REINE will be releasing their second EP “La Foi, La Loi, La Croix” to the world on May 31, 2019.

With the spirit of both thrash and power metal, THRASH LA REINE, who describe themselves as ‘Francophone satirical epic thrash’ create music as they feel it and leave it up to the audience to decide where they really fit in. The exclusive French-language album follows the band’s 2017 EP “Le Metal Est Notre Langue”. The band hints at what the new release entails:

“We do not reinvent anything, but at the same time, we think we offer something that sounds new and refreshing. We want to share Montreal’s culture by making music in French, but we believe this music can be accessible and interesting to everybody around the world.”

Incorporating musical influences from the likes of Metallica, Judas Priest, and Megadeth, they take lyrical inspiration from current events and real life.

Teaming up with Metal-Rules.com, the trio is premiering the EP’s full stream at the following link: https://www.metal-rules.com/2019/05/30/montreals-thrash-la-reine-premiere-ep-streamla-foi-la-loi-la-croix/

The band adds:

“The album title “La Foi, La Loi, La Croix’’, in English translation means ‘The Faith, The Law, The Cross’’. We chose this title as these three symbols reflects the themes that are present in our album. On the album cover, we see three characters a Machiavellian priest, an evil queen and a corrupted politician’’ in front of our hometown of Montreal. They symbolize, in a caricatured way, the pillars of our Western society and its own decline.”

“La Foi, La Loi, La Croix” will be released on May 31, 2019, and will be available Bandcamp and available on Spotify, iTunes.

BIO:

Thrash La Reine is a Montreal-based French heavy metal trio founded in 2017. In their music, they comprise styles of their main influences of thrash and power metal as well as paying homage to their home city and the francophone punk bands that were notorious in the Montreal scene during their college years. In each song, they mix the epic themes of power metal with the social topics of punk and thrash metal to make a style that they dubbed ‘’Epic Thrash’’.

In 2017, in their home studio, they recorded a first EP called ‘’Le Metal Est Notre Langue’’. Since then, they have opened for artists such as Judas Priestess (US) and Tim Ripper Owen (US). In 2018, a second EP ‘’La Foi, La Loi, La Croix’’ was recorded. The recording and mixing were done at Studio Wild with Pierre Rémillard (Anonymus, Cryptopsy) and mastered in the summer by Jacob Hansen in Denmark. The EP is now ready to hit mosh pits around the world with a release date on May 31, 2019.

Montreal’s THRASH LA REINE is getting ready to share their second EP “La Foi, La Loi, La Croix” with the world on May 31, 2019.

With the spirit of both thrash and power metal, THRASH LA REINE, who describe themselves as ‘Francophone satirical epic thrash’ create music as they feel it and leave it up to the audience to decide where they really fit in. The exclusive French-language album follows the band’s 2017 EP “Le Metal Est Notre Langue”. The band hints at what the new release entails:

“We do not reinvent anything, but at the same time, we think we offer something that sounds new and refreshing. We want to share Montreal’s culture by making music in French, but we believe this music can be accessible and interesting to everybody around the world.”

Incorporating musical influences from the likes of Metallica, Judas Priest, and Megadeth, they take lyrical inspiration from current events and real life. In the case of their second single ‘Le Rédempteur’ they had this to say:

“This is one of the faster songs with more of a NWOBHM spirit. The lyrics are about the socio-political situation in the world. ‘Le Rédempteur’’ means ‘the saviour’. At first glance, it might sound like a song about a superhero or about some sort of spiritual saviour. But this song is more about politicians who see problems in our world as opportunities to sell us solutions and to make us falsely believe they will make the world great again!”

For the single, the band has filmed a new music video and have teamed up with MetalUniverse for its premiere at the following link: http://www.metaluniverse.net/nouvelles.php?id_nouvelle=34406

“La Foi, La Loi, La Croix” will be released on May 31, 2019, and available for pre-order on Bandcamp.

In anticipation of their second EP “La Foi, La Loi, La Croix” ready for the world on May 31, 2019, Montreal’s THRASH LA REINE is releasing their single “Du Sang Sur Les Plaines”.

Not taking themselves too seriously, they describe themselves as Francophone satirical epic thrash, but ultimately let the audience decide where they fit in in the metal scene. Focusing on telling a story with each track and paying close attention to the song structure and how the listener will be escorted through each thrasher. Exclusively in French and following their 2017 EP “Le Metal Est Notre Langue”, the band opens up about their sound on their 2019 follow up “La Foi, La Loi, La Croix”:

“We’re not reinventing anything, but at the same time, we think we’re offering something that sounds new and refreshing. The EP has a good variety of songs. Some songs are faster, some are more mid-tempo. Overall, we have really fast and quick songs and also more epic songs that are almost nine minutes long.”

With obvious musical influences from the likes of Metallica, Iron Maiden and Iced Earth, THRASH LA REINE take lyrical inspiration from current events and real life. In the case of this Maiden-esque single “Du Sang Sur Les Plaines” they explain:

“‘Du Sang Sur Les Plaines’ is a historical song (à la Maiden) about the Battle of the Plains of Abraham in Quebec City during 1759 and is structured in a narrative way. We are proud to share an interesting part of our heritage in this song.”

“Du Sang Sur Les Plaines” is streaming at the following link: https://youtu.be/41yWekV6ucY

“La Foi, La Loi, La Croix” will be released on May 31, 2019 and available for pre-order on Bandcamp.

Biography

Scissortooth is a Canadian Thrash Metal band from Vancouver, B.C..  Formed in 2003 by Derek Lundblad (Vocalist/guitarist) and Shawn Hoskins (drummer), formerly from Mantra, moved to the west coast from Grande Prairie, A.B.. The current line-up comprises of founding members Lundblad, Hoskins, and Ken Firomski (bassist), Ken  (Empyria and Cradle to Grave) who moved from Granisle B.C.. (Empyria and Cradle to Grave).

The band’s melodic hooks, varying tempos, and aggressive musicianship alongside of original writing approach and unique timbre has given their songs a different edge to most modern acts. Influenced by a wide spectrum of sounds of bands like Pantera, Metallica, Megadeth, Type O Negative to Soundgarden, Tool, Pink Floyd and Nine Inch Nails have lent to the songwriting and arrangements a flavor that fills a void in today’s often bland musical climate.

Their debut full length, Novagomorrah is scheduled to be release July 28, 2015.

Discography

Novagomorrah – 2015 (LP)

Self-titled – 2006 (LP)

“Their sound embodies the aggressive, yet groovy feeling of early Pantera braised with industrial samples throughout the album.” – Bravewords

“Vancouver thrashers Scissortooth, blaze up from the beach on the high speed, fuel injected wings of Novagomorrah, their new EP, which sounds a whole lot like these gentleman have discovered time travel. This is the bands first release since 2006 and goddamn it’s a doozy. I won’t spoil it for you but if you are into thrash metal you should probably have this album in your collection!!” – Adam, Canadian Beats

“In all, Scissortooth have released an album that I thoroughly enjoy. It’s a grower too, getting better with each successive listen, unveiling new sounds and textures through time” – Crown of Viserys

“Instantly tasty riffs are thrown your way establishing a force of metal thunder that is ready to roar, and it does.The music is extremely tight and very well timed, via the dynamic drumming.” – Taste of Khaos

About: A Vancouver born Modern Thrash outfit. Titan’s Eve formed in 2008 by brothers Brian and Kyle Gamblin, with Casey Ory on Drums and later joined by Jesse Hord on bass. From day one the band has written the tunes they want to hear, and taken charge of their musical ambitions on their own terms. The early days saw the 4 piece defining their sound and making fans in their home city.

2009/2010 featured their emergence on the Canadian metal scene and the beginning of a strong fan base. They embarked on their first western Canadian tour and gave Canadians a real live taste of their sound. While gaining support and honing their music they ventured into a local studio with the talented Curt Wells. Their first album “The Divine Equal” was later mixed and mastered by Sacha Laskow of Calgary Tech-metal band Divinity. With the release and critical acclaim the album received, their first Cross-Canadian tour followed exposing even more to their unique brand of thrash metal.

2011 saw “The Divine Equal released to a bigger audience, with a 2 month self booked tour of North America. Titan’s Eve had the pleasure to play in front of crazed metal fans all over the United States. 2012 started with a bang with their first arena show and fulfilling a dream of playing with Nu-metal leaders Korn. Fresh of the success from their debut, Titan’s Eve began creating the follow up, “Life Apocalypse”. “This album was written faster and was more of an aggressive attempt at writing and recording an album,” says guitarist Kyle Gamblin. “We hammered out the songs and bunkered down to record in Calgary with Sacha Laskow for a month and recorded every day.”

Taking a turn from their debut, which was released a year previously, but staying true to their personal interpretations of honest, powerful modern metal, “the result, Life Apocalypse, shows our efforts and captures the best performances from all four members of our band. We worked very hard to deliver something that wouldn’t disappoint fans of our last album,” says Brian Gamblin.

Following the release of Life Apocalypse that summer, Titans Eve took the “Titan Train” (i.e. their 2007 Ford E-350 van) and travelled across western Canada, bringing their music to as great an audience as possible, supporting Canadian metal heavyweights Anvil followed by a tour with super-group Kill Devil Hill featuring Rex Brown of Pantera. After these incredible tours, they’re biggest venture yet came into focus with an invite to be a support act on the Arch Enemy European Khaos tour. This saw their first tour in Europe, playing to the receptive and enthusiastic European metal crowds.

2013-14 had been used for writing and recording their third album, with breaks from the rehearsals by touring westeren Canada, playing music festivals and opening for the likes of Diamoned Head, Raven and soulfly. The album was recorded in Vancouver’s legendary Warehouse Studio with renowned producer and engineer Eric Mosher. The mastering was completed by Canadian metal hero Jeff Waters of Annihilator.

Stay tuned for a new album and new tours in 2015!

Shared Stage w/:
Arch Enemy, Hackneyed, Anvil, Exodus, Ensiferium, Blackguard, Moonsorrow, Lazarus A.D., The Agonist, Voivod, Kill Devil Hill, Korn, Finntroll, Woods Of Ypres, Inquisition, Swallow The Sun, Holy Grail, Bonded By Blood, Diamond Head, Raven, Soulfly

“Vancouver thrash/doom metal act unleashes a monster with its third album. Tightly woven tunes are delivered with blistering power, channeling the best of their influences, which range from early era thrash (Metallica, Exodus, Judas Priest) to modern day grind and prog metal (Mastodon). If 2012’s Life Apocalypse was about confronting your demons, Chasing The Devil is about grabbing the beast by the horns. Highlight tracks: No Kingdom, The Grind” – Vancouver Sun

 

“Titans Eve are one of the best bands to come out of my home town, Vancouver!” – Michael Livan – The Metal Meltdown – CJSF 90.1 FM

 

“Titans Eve have conquered their local scene convincingly, and have put their boots into thicker mud, venturing across their native Canada. Touring with bigger names, in support fashion, hungry to belong in the next level. Chasing The Devil will be a sharp weapon to help them carve up the competition. Shepherd Says- 8/10 – Hey, I put them side by side with the giant and it felt like they weathered that barrage. Titans Eve is earning their way up the ladder.” – We Love Metal

 

“…they’ve certainly stepped it up on their forthcoming album. The band’s concept is good, as they blend equal portions of thrash from bands such as Annihilator and Exodus with the progressive stoner groove of Mastodon and Meshuggah…Each element of the band works in unison as classic melodies and solos are placed side-by-side with meaty chugging and gravely outer-space vocals.” – Flink.TO

 

“They blend classic heavy, power, and thrash metal with a dose of modern intensity, yet temper it with melody harmony for persuasive, interesting, and entertaining results. Recommended.” – Danger Dog Music Reviews

 

“Chasing The Devil presents us a modern thrash template that can be as melodic as it is ferocious.” – Dead Rhetoric

 

“This is the third full length album of the band and I wonder why they have not been signed by any label. Coming from Vancouver, Canada, these guys forged a very interesting and unique form ofthrash metal with modern elements here and there, and high doses of technique at instrumentation.” – Zombie Ritual Zine

 

“Chasing The Devil’s 8 tracks stick to a ferocious mid paced thrash sound, with a touch of modern metal. The dual guitar team displays not just tasty riffs but intertwining dual harmonies, which sometimes call the mighty Iron Maiden to mind, as well as settling into a deep comfortable groove when called for. Add in the down low and percussion and you’ve got one hell of a sound.” – True Metal Lives
