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!

“Unstoppable Titans Eve” – Georgia Straight (Vancouver)
“Blistering set of doom thrash” – Beatroute
“Titans Eve has quickly risen through the ranks of the Vancouver metal scene, quickly becoming one of the best thrash bands in town.” – Absolute Underground Magazine
“The Gamblin brothers shred like crazy, easily making Titans Eve one of the best local (Vancouver) thrash bands. They really blew everyone away, and sent beer flying all over the place.” – Absolute Underground Magazine (Live Review)
“Titans Eve churned out their own unique brand of thrash metal. Brothers Kyle and Brian Gamblin did a great job stirring up the crowd,… With a short but sweet set with crowd favourites including “The Tides of Doom”, “Serpent Rising”, “Into the Fire” and “Living Lifeless,” Titans Eve left it all on stage and made a strong impression.” – Abort Mag (Live Review)
“Gotta love bands like this that come from left field and surprise one with their sound, attitude and imagery. Titans Eve hails from Vancouver, hardly a global metal hotspot, and performs traditional and true heavy metal without any of the superfluous gimmickry that has become a hallmark of metal betrayal and ineptitude. The quartet’s sound is heavy and anthemic and blatantly related to the true sounds of Priest, Maiden and Arch Enemy” – Metallian.com
“Titans Eve had everything that was needed to make for a killer show; solid memorable music that can move even the folks who are unfamiliar with the songs, backed by a tight, powerful performance. ” – Metalstorm.net (Live Review)
“TITANS EVE have embraced the old fashioned Thrash ethic of keeping an eye on quality and not going overboard with content. ” – Metal-Observer.com
“The Canadians’ sophomore retains the thrash shapes of their debut but also allows more room for melody and lyricism to flow, adding an emotive strength to the introspective tales of the human condition, destiny and personal struggle…if the Mayans were right and 2012 is the year we face the apocalypse, Titans Eve are more than an adequate soundtrack.” 4/5 – Terrorizer Mag
“One metal act that should be hitting your radar if it hasn’t already is Canadian thrashers TITANS EVE…The sophomore album from TITANS EVE, “Life Apocalypse” is a tempest. It seldom slows and it’s to the band’s credit they know how far to push and make a statement then summon back their typhoon to leave their listeners breathless…”Overcast”, “Destined to Die”, “Road to Ruin”, “Divided We Fall” and”The Abyss” are some of the fastest and fiercest metal tracks you’ll hear this year.” Blabbermouth.net
“Best of all, the hooks on this record are enormous, with none of the eleven tracks feeling like a throwaway. The tunes are so insistent and contagious that it feels like they fly by: you’ve got the Mastodonian stomp of “Destined to Die”, the Maiden-esque guitar melody that sneaks into the thunderous “Road to Ruin”, the melodic thrash of “The Abyss”, the crushing mid-tempo groove that dominates the chorus of “Life Apocalypse.” – MSN.com
“Vancouver’s TITANS EVE have really hit a sweet spot with their second album. ” – Bravewords.com
“Vancouver-based thrashers Titans Eve strike the perfect balance between tuneful, old-school, ’80s–style metal and the more extreme variants that came to dominate in the ’90s on its latest, Life Apocalypse. ” – The Georgia Straight (Vancouver, BC Weekly)
“In an age where a plethora of thrash bands are focussing all their energies on trying to recapture the sounds of the 80’s, it’s great to hear a forward thinking, ambitious thrash metal outfit. Canadian Titans Eve have all the essential thrash ingredients in their sound, but they’re trying to forge something original in those flames. Their songs are laced with robust melody, captivating guitar-intricacies, and truly memorable and striking passages, while the powerful vocals of Brian Gamblin provide an imposing focal point. Titans Eve are a genuinely exciting proposition, and Life Apocalypse is quite a superb album deserving of much recognition. 4.5/5” – Zero Tolerance Magazine

About:
In 2007, Edmonton, AB underwent one of the most notable natural disasters in history. An earthquake split the city in two, and chaos ran amok through the streets.
Alas…such things are bound to happen when DISPLAY OF DECAY takes the stage. Handcrafted by Hell’s most elite demons, DISPLAY OF DECAY is noted for bringing a unique blend of old school death metal, blended with tinges of thrash and doom metal. The band has spread their infection across Western Canada over the years, sharing the stage alongside other local elite acts such as, Disciples of Power and Into Eternity.
After unleashing three well received indie releases, DISPLAY OF DECAY is currently gearing up for their next follow up “Outbreak of Infection”, an EP featuring five brutal tracks that includes an annihilating rendition of KISS’ ‘Black Diamond’. Set to riot mosh pits officially August 26, 2014, DISPLAY OF DECAY is eagerly preparing to tour Western Canada in 2014 to promote their best work to date.

“The EP contains 5-tracks of, “…grim and gore,” perfect for fans of Deicide and Cannibal Corpse” – Bloody-Disgusting
““Outbreak of Infection” is a Deicide-al rampage of fast, rapacious riffing and spitfire soloing, with gut-punching drums and a gruesomely guttural vocal performance. These dudes do a good jump injecting the music with snake venom and radiating an aura of ravenous evil. They bring the death metal brutality, spiced up with insidious melody and high-voltage fretwork.” – No Clean Singing
“Display of Decay is a Death Metal outfit with old-school sensibilities. They’re melodic without entering Melodic Death, and they’re brutal without becoming cliche. This is just some shit you have to hear for yourself.” – Yell Magazine
“Outbreak of Infection, a mid-paced slab of brutality in the vein of Deicide, Cannibal Corpse, and Nile. Showing they wear their influences on their sleeves, this trio also sounds nothing like the aforementioned bands at times, their own sound gleaming vile from the pile of corpses they wear.” – Crown of Viserys
“Canada’s power trio, aptly known as Display of Decay play old school death metal with growl vocals and catchy hooks that’ll make you bang your head.” Explicitly Intense
“This is a real listenable EP due to is crunchy drive and catchy rhythms. It is Brutal Death Metal but it has the kind of songs you could put in a zombie film for added tension and brutality…The guttural vocals are strong low and perfect for these tracks. This is an EP you can throw in and listen to all five songs, the last of which is a Kiss cover Black Diamond.” – Blackened Horde

“Vancouver-based thrashers Titans Eve strike the perfect balance between tuneful, old-school, ’80s–style metal and the more extreme variants that came to dominate in the ’90s on its latest, Life Apocalypse. ” – The Georgia Straight (Vancouver, BC Weekly)
“Titans Eve have kicked their technical proficiency into high gear, delivering an exceptional album of brilliant, horrifyingly astute and elegantly written material; the lyrics are grim poetry set to cruel, brutal and mathematically precise orchestration…The songs “The Abyss”, the title track “Life Apocalypse”, “Hollow Gods” and “The Void” are outstanding on this disc, speaking brutal truth and cruel fact in untenably honest fashion, their individual tales riding well with the overall theme of this collection.” – Confront Magazine
“Titan’s Eve are being outed as one of the rising stars of the Canadian metal scene, and after a few listens to Life Apocalypse, their second album, it’s easy to see why. In fact it’s easy to see this youthful quartet busting the whole darn planet apart within the next five years if they can maintain – or, better yet, improve upon – the quality of material found on Life…Make no mistake this is big time metal, delivered with class and conviction that’ll draw you in after just one listen and keep you in its thrall forever.” – MetalAsFuck.net
“In an age where a plethora of thrash bands are focussing all their energies on trying to recapture the sounds of the 80’s, it’s great to hear a forward thinking, ambitious thrash metal outfit. Canadian Titans Eve have all the essential thrash ingredients in their sound, but they’re trying to forge something original in those flames.

Titans Eve are a genuinely exciting proposition, and Life Apocalypse is quite a superb album deserving of much recognition. 4.5/5” – Zero Tolerance Magazine
“After a brief acoustic intro, Life Apocalypse really gets fired up and under way with “Destined to Die”, a real thrashing, head banging song that sets the pace for the rest of the disc. The combination of old school metal influences with more current metal sensibilities is just aurally stunning. These guys have created an album that kicks some serious ass from start to finish; I was fully engrossed in it from the beginning.” – PureGrainAudio.com
“Now and again, an album comes along that, immediately, on first listen, jumps out of your stereo (or, in this case, a towering 2,000 watt DJ rig), grabs you by your scrawny, hungover little throat and screams at you “bet you weren’t expecting this, muthafucka?”. This sophomore release from Vancouver thrashers Titan’s Eve is one of those.” – PlanetMosh.com
“This is another damn fine thrash metal album that not only brings about memories of times passed but also brings about a need to mosh like there’s no tomorrow.” – Battlehelm.com
“Vancouver, B.C. thrash-edged metal merchants,Titans Eve, wasted no time getting back into the studio to record the follow-up to their 2011 debut,The Divine Equal. The result is a breath of fresh napalm called, Life Apocalypse. The new album contains all the skull-crushing brutality fans have come to expect from Titans Eve, delivered with intellectual impact, and sonic diversity.” – Metalholic.co
“What Titans Eve has managed to do with an album based on hardship is inject an air of triumph into their catchy delivery. The uplifting nature that saturates the album brings hope that no matter what we face in our lives, all our life apocalypses, the strength to rise above them is within us all.” – Hellbound.ca
“What I like(d) the most in Life Apocalypse has to be their vocals and the sheer energy of the songs which abuses the ear drums with a fine thrash assault, competent and is well executed. Vocalist Brian Gamblin works his way through the songs with abandon and more often than not succeeds in providing the finishing touch on songs that are worthy of replay. Those looking for an aggression filled beat down can purchase this album without second thought.” – MetalTitans.com
“One of a relative few genuine thrash albums you’ll hear this year…up-tempo rippers like “Destined To Die,” lumbering, crowd-chanting bulldozers like “Frozen In Time,” and so much more.” – MetalUnderground.com
“Titans Eve are being outed as one of the rising stars of the Canadian Metal scene and after a few listens to ‘Life Apocalypse’, their second album, it’s easy to see why. In fact it’s easy to see this youthful quartet busting the whole darn planet apart within the next five years if they can maintain – or, better yet, improve upon – the quality of material found on ‘Life Apocalypse'”. – MetalTalk.net
“The album is very fast, aggressive and precise, delivering an aural wall of death front to back. Riffs are very catchy and some very fluid guitar work is featured throughout. Vocals are mix of gravelly thrash and clean styled. This band is definitely a sleeper and with major label backing, can make a huge breakout in the thrash world. Definitely check this album out.” – MaximumMetal.com
“Casey Ory has thrash style drums nailed down perfectly and slays on the double bass drum. He is the epitome of a backbone for a band and also really good at making interesting fills and tempo changes. The guitar work is also as notable as ever, in all three categories. There’s plenty of great solo’s to be found all throughout the album, my favorites lying in ‘Road to Ruin’ ‘Life Apocalypse’ and ‘Hollow Gods’. ” – Emurg.com
“As I’ve listened to Life Apocalypse, I’ve come to realize that Titans Eve isn’t trying to sound like the other guys. Titans Eve hasn’t run off with old school fever. Titans Eve hasn’t caved into an over-swollen modern persona of sound either. Instead, Titans Eve truly plays their ownscorching brand of Thrash Metal. Yes, the overall feel, vibe and sound that Titans Eve has tapped into has given me every reason to believe they will be around in another decade… or two.” – MetalOdyssey.net
“Overall, there are many killer riffs here and I cannot believe that this is an independent release as the production is of the highest quality. I also like the length of the album. 11 songs that clock in on 38 minutes is just enough and insures you that you will not be bored with this album.” – Melodic.net
“Titan’s Eve’s Life Apocalypse is solid, intriguing and entertaining platter of modern and melodic, heavy and thrash metal, and superior to most of their peers.” – DangerDog.com
“after a few spins of the new “Life Apocalypse” I can say that the band has followed up their earlier success with an impressive piece of metal… is both heavy and atmospheric, blending blast beats, melodies, and harsh vocals to create an all-out metal attack.” – WeLoveMetal.com
“Vancouver, Canada’s Titan’s Eve are a nice breath of fresh air in a style of music that seems to be half-populated with Exodus clones. Melody, precision and the very occasional semi-clean sung vocal passage give this album a very nice edge.” – Shreddernet.com
“What you will find on this release is 11 tracks of finely-tuned thrash metal with a huge emphasis on melody and driving song structures. Take for instance the title track, “Life Apocalypse” – it’s catchy as hell, and laden with some sick grooves and peppered with gang vocals to boot. They follow this through with another catchy song “Hollow Gods” that solidifies itself through the chorus and utilizes harmonious leads to help push home the sound. The same can be said about “Divided We Fall” and “Frozen in Time” (longest track on album) encapsulates the melodic feel you will find throughout the entire release. ” – Blistering.com
“‘Destined to Die’ is the first single from this album, it’s all about personal apocalypse and personal struggle, a general theme of the entire release, the track itself generalises the Titans Eve sound perfectly.” – Brutalism.com
“TITANS EVE have done a great job in “Life Apocalypse” bringing a more personal character in their music.” – MetalKaoz.com
“The intensity of all instruments comes together very nicely on ‘Life Apocalypse’ – especially on track four ‘The Abyss,’ which is one of the main treats off the album. In addition to being an overall nice and solid track, ‘The Abyss’ offers one of the album’s longest and tightest guitar solos, which stretches over 40-50 seconds.” – Toronto Metal Music Examiner
“Just to pick a couple of highlights, there’s the headlong slam dance ofLife Apocalypse with its blast beat drumming and distinctive signature riffing. Then there’s the high speed thrash out of Destined To Die – a cut that reminds me of Onslaughts classic ‘Power From Hell’ debut album; a gloriously chilled and melancholy out instrumental entitled A Wound That Never Heals – complete with a rather groovy bongo drum line!! and the divinely majestic Frozen In Time – an true mini epic if ever there was that goes from slow and acoustic to Priest-U-like twin guitar harmonies to heavy as fuck grind and pound and back again. All damn good stuff.” 4.5/5 – The BCFM Sunday Rock Show 93.2fm (Bristol UK)
” blended up into one tasty little metal smoothie…this album is firmly rooted in modern thrash with a hefty dose of groove…should definitely be checked out by any metal fan as there’s something for everyone here. It’s been a very competitive year, but this one just might sneak its way onto my year end list. Hopefully these guys don’t remain unsigned for long.” – TeethofTheDivine.com

“Unstoppable Titans Eve” – Georgia Straight (Vancouver) (Riffs Not Riots Event)
“Blistering set of doom thrash” – Beatroute
“Titans Eve has quickly risen through the ranks of the Vancouver metal scene, quickly becoming one of the best thrash bands in town.” – Absolute Underground Magazine
“The Gamblin brothers shred like crazy, easily making Titans Eve one of the best local (Vancouver) thrash bands. They really blew everyone away, and sent beer flying all over the place.” – Absolute Underground Magazine (Live Review)
“Titans Eve churned out their own unique brand of thrash metal. Brothers Kyle and Brian Gamblin did a great job stirring up the crowd,… With a short but sweet set with crowd favourites including “The Tides of Doom”, “Serpent Rising”, “Into the Fire” and “Living Lifeless,” Titans Eve left it all on stage and made a strong impression.” – Abort Mag (Live Review)
“Gotta love bands like this that come from left field and surprise one with their sound, attitude and imagery. Titans Eve hails from Vancouver, hardly a global metal hotspot, and performs traditional and true heavy metal without any of the superfluous gimmickry that has become a hallmark of metal betrayal and ineptitude. The quartet’s sound is heavy and anthemic and blatantly related to the true sounds of Priest, Maiden and Arch Enemy” – Metallian.com
“Titans Eve had everything that was needed to make for a killer show; solid memorable music that can move even the folks who are unfamiliar with the songs, backed by a tight, powerful performance. ” – Metalstorm.net (Live Review)
“TITANS EVE have embraced the old fashioned Thrash ethic of keeping an eye on quality and not going overboard with content. ” – Metal-Observer.com
“Third to the stage was Titans Eve (www.myspace.com/titanseveofficial ), a modern thrash metal band with some epic European metal sounding influences. Their new album, The Divine Equal, is due on February 1st, with possible North American and beyond tour dates to follow. This band already have a rabid fan base, with one devotee informing me “These guys are gong to play Ozzfest one day man – they’re gonna f— headline Ozzfest!” Judging by their proficient heavy talent, you would never guess that this band has only been performing together for around three years.” – Vancmusic.ca – Concert Review
“Thrashy, crunchy goodness that’s perfect to bang your head to.” – Funeralrain.net
“The next act of the night, was again, Vancouver’s own, Titan’s Eve. They had their fans standing strong against the barrier, thrashing amongst one another, and screaming the words back to the guys…Their performance was extremely strong, and energetic. The last song, Brian got the crowd cheering him on to chug a beer, and its my pleasure to say, he successfully chugged a full beer, and finished their set with a song packed with heavy riffs, strong drum beats, and vocals to captivate the audience.” – RockstarWeekly.com (Live Review) from opening w/ Exodus
Album Reviews from ‘The Divine Equal’
Metal Hammer (Germany) – Album of The Month – September 2011
“Returning with their incredible, gap-spanning take on moderately melodic and primeval metal, Vancouver, BC ragers Titans Eve deliver some creative, impressively cohesive work on latest full-length The Divine Equal” – Exclaim!
” ‘The Divine Equal’ presents an opportunity for the band to save underground thrash metal from its current ‘nu-thrash’ moniker and that in itself is something exciting….The energy from “Judgement” carries on throughout the rest of the record and helps to maintain a level of head banging that will surely cause permanent neck damage…an impressive debut. 4/5″ – MetalUnderground.com
“Titans Eve have built a considerable foundation to springboard from on THE DIVINE EQUAL and I would optimistically look forward to what the future holds for the four of them. ”
– Metal-Rules.com
“Every track is a full blown “Arena Anthem.” You can sing along at any point with very distinct choruses that leave the listener anticipating their next chance to belt along with vocalist Brian Gamblin.” – WeLoveMetal.com
“ ‘The Divine Equal’ is a full on aural assault from beginning to end.” – PureGrainAudio.com
“I’d like to point out Titans Eve is a band I like because of their anthem filled nature. The songs on show are very easy to sing along to, and that could be just what is needed in metal today. Stand out tracks: Judgement, Nightfall and Becoming The Demon.” – Ultimate-Guitar.com

So it’s 2012 and the end of time may be near, or so they say, but that’s no reason to panic because Vancouver-based metal masters Titans Eve have unleashed their second full-length album, the extremely timely and aptly titled, Life Apocalypse.
The perfect musical end for the perfect apocalypse, the 11 tracks of Life Apocalypse were produced by Titans Eve and recorded by Sacha Laskow of Divinity at Perfect Fifth Studios in Calgary, AB in a manner that was strikingly different from the band’s first foray into the studio while creating their critically-acclaimed debut, The Divine Equal. After all, time was of the essence.
“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 in February of last year, 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 this summer, Titans Eve once again piled into the “Titan Train” (i.e. their 2007 Ford E-350 van) to bring their music to as great an audience as possible. Opening for Korn, supporting Canadian metal heavyweights Anvil plus Kill Devil Hill, which features legendary drummer Vinny Appice (Black Sabbath, DIO) and bassist Rex Brown (Pantera, Down) and a fall European tour with Arch Enemy. Titans Eve has brought their metal to thousands across the globe with more plans to continue their unstoppable machine of touring and playing music.
