Badass, but in a tasteful way is the best way to describe the debut single and video ‘Cannibalistic’ from Ottawa’s TripleMurder. The song comes from the band’s forthcoming debut EP “Pre-Meditated” slated for release later this fall and is a flurry of blood, guts, and breakdowns.

TripleMurder is a band with a lot to offer their listeners, everything from chunky groovy riffs, blast beats, to breakdowns and two-steps and everything in between they refuse to be set into one specific genre and consistently break rules over the course of their 6 song EP. They see their EP as a wake-up call, which they explain further:

“We believe that it should be received as a wake-up call to the metal industry that you don’t have to confine yourself to a certain subgenre of metal to write heavy tunes. It’s all about having fun and showing off everybody’s musical tastes in the band.”

With the single, TripleMurder is looking to send their listeners into a state of awe, and be content with hearing a wide variety of elements, and techniques that keep the music creative and unique. Metal fans of all kinds, from death metal to core fans will appreciate this effort from TripleMurder.

BIO:

With the idea of forming a band without musical boundaries or constrictions, TripleMurder has made it a point to breathe new musical life into the metal scene. Triple Murder is here to make listeners question what they think about pigeonholing bands into sub-genres, offering everything from chunky groovy riffs, blast beats, to breakdowns and two-steps and everything in between. With lyrical themes involving the state of the human race, politics and social media scares to just everyday life and human interactions, TripleMurder brings an in-your-face live show to the stage in a brilliant display of headbanging, jumping, power stomping, running and tons of other antics! Their first EP ‘Pre-Meditated’ from TripleMurder is set to be released fall 2019, with more material in the works!

“The band was eager to showcase their skills (as it was their third show as a band) and did they ever deliver. With song titles like Cannibalistic, it was no surprise that the crowd began to get rowdy and mosh.  Members of the crowd being eager to move, their energy being uncontainable that they opted to hang from the venue rafters in their excitement.” – Splice Media Group

“TripleMurder brings that Pantera meets 2000s metalcore stuff in the best way possible.” – Ghostblade

“Great live band and lots of elements of old school death/thrash and modern metal in the mix. Never a dull moment in their music.” – Andrew Depedro Charlton (KNAC.com)

0 Ottawa’s CeVILAIN Offers “Better Angels” In New Music Video via SpaceUntravel

  • April 13, 2019

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – April 13, 2019

For fans of Breaking Benjamin, Thrice, Highly Suspect, Three Days Grace, Chevelle

Ottawa’s CeVILAIN Offers “Better Angels” In New Music Video via SpaceUntravel

 

Ottawa’s CeVILAIN is gearing up to release the first single “Better Angels”from the double-release “As Above, So Below” (Release date: April 12, 2019). The video for “Better Angels” is being premiered via Space Untravel channel on Youtube.

CeVILAIN was initiated in 2017 with the idea to bring together standout musicians in the Ottawa music scene to carve out a place in the genre that was clearly lacking – a hard rock band that focuses on storytelling in a positive light. The result is a raw, emotional heavy hitting band with a sound similar to Thrice, Highly Suspect, and Three Days Grace.

This new EP, “As Above, So Below” will be the follow up to the 2018 EP Rise and the band expects that it will show a more mature sound that they have been developing:

“The new single, “Better Angels”, is a progressive step forward for the band in establishing our identity. The single further expresses and showcases our ability to deliver captivating pieces highlighted by exceptional vocalizations and instrumentation.”

The band continues with the meaning behind the song:

“The single is meant to highlight acceptance and growth. The heart of the song drives home the notion that it’s okay to ask for help, it’s okay to be vulnerable, and that you will come out of it stronger.”

“Better Angels” music video can be watched at the following link: https://youtu.be/J7mink2ATWA

Track Listing:
1. Better Angels
2. As Above, So Below

About:

CeVILAIN is a hard rock band that clearly stands out for the genre – they craft thunderous pieces that aspire to evoke positivity, unity, acceptance, and inclusion rather than solely expressing simple angst and discord. They channel their creative energies into captivating tracks whose impact is only surpassed by their energetic live performance and their ability to engage their audience.

Inspired by titans of the genre – Breaking Benjamin, Bring Me The Horizon, and Thrice – CeVILAIN is a band that will never be satisfied resting on their laurels. Building upon the success of their first EP – the independently produced and released “RISE” (2018) – the band is already back with brand new material that continues to forge ahead their heavy, melodic and driven sound.

Mixed by Mike Langford (Deadset Society) and mastered by Peter Leitros (Wreckhouse Mastering), the new single “Better Angels” showcases their ability to hammer home searing instrumentation with soaring melody and harmony. This ability is on full display as the vocalization plays off each contributor before coming together in a massive chorus hook.

CeVILAIN was formed in Ottawa, Canada in 2018 and quickly became the go-to, must see artist in the Nation’s Capital. In short order, their first single – “Hush” – surpassed 10,000+ streams across all platforms and has become a mainstay, and regular request, on rock radio. The band has had the pleasure of sharing the stage with exceptional talent such as: Adam Gontier (Three Days Grace), Bif Naked, Jeff Martin (The Tea Party), One Bad Son, Crown Lands, The Lazys, and Richie Kotzen (Poison, Mr Big).

2019 looks to be a massive step forward for CeVILAIN as they continue to establish their presence and influence in mainstream rock.

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – April 12, 2019

 

For fans of Kamelot, Symphony X, Alter Bridge, Tesseract, Ghost

Inspired By Soviet Era Posters, RED CAIN Share Lyric Video “All Is Violence” via MetalMasterKingdom

Debut Album “Kindred: Act I” Out Now

Performing On Vancouver’s Hyperspace Metal Festival April 27th


Inspired by Soviet-era posters, Calgary’s RED CAIN have put together a visually thrilling lyric video for their track “All Is Violence” off their debut album “Kindred: Act I”released this past March.

Teaming up with MetalMasterKingdom, the band is premiering the video at the following link: https://www.metalmasterkingdom.com/home/red-cain-premiere-lyric-video-for-all-is-violence

Vocalist Evgeniy Zayarny adds:

“Visually inspired by Soviet propaganda posters, with images brilliantly designed by Igor Zayarny, ‘All Is Violence’ is a lethal offensive tying pagan Russian conceptions of righteous and sinful violence as championed by pagan gods Veles and Morana to an examination of violence in the modern era, backed by thunderous drums and downtuned, aggressive guitar work. The lyric video doubles as an introduction to individual Red Cain band members, with individual and group photos taken by Quay Evano. Fire, reload, step forward, and wrestle with your bestial nature because -‘All Is Violence’.”

RED CAIN first full-length “Kindred: Act I” was produced by Sascha Laskow (Every Hour Kills, ex-Divinity) with the band at Perfect Filth Studios and features guests Kobra Paige (Kobra And The Lotus), Daniel Louden (Benevolent Like Quietus) and guitarist Tyler Corbett. The album’s artwork was done by Timur Khabirov with cover design by Igor Zayarny.

The band has shared a few other videos in support of the debut album. Their music video for “Zero” recently won the Award of Recognition in the Best Music Video category at the Accolade Global Film Competition in Los Angeles.

Music Video – Zero – https://youtu.be/UdlOEHxi1-E
Lyric Video – Wing of The Crow” ft. Kobra Paige (Kobra and The Lotus) – https://youtu.be/–MNPiODQD8
Music Video – “Snakebouquet” – https://youtu.be/Lk9Wi2lzbW0

Born out of the emerging metal scene of Calgary, AB, RED CAIN is a modern melodic metal project with European roots. With intricate songwriting, a heavy yet melodic feel reminiscent of progressive acts, and eerie ambient elements, RED CAIN champion a fluid, dynamic, and unique musical style centered around telling dark, conceptual Faustian sagas and constructing those into an unforgettable live experience. Listeners might well pick out elements reminiscent of such luminary acts as Kamelot, Symphony X, Tesseract, Draconian, Marilyn Manson, whipped into a venomous new shape.

“Kindred: Act I” is available on Bandcamp here, iTunes, CD Baby, Spotify.

In additional news, RED CAIN will be performing on this year’s Hyperspace Metal Festival in Vancouver, BC for the second night of the event on April 27th at the Rickshaw Theatre alongside Crimson Shadows, Judicator and many more. Full details and line up can be found here.

“Overall, this was a very original album. I find it very difficult to locate a counterpart for RED CAIN, as they have clearly created their own sound in the genre. What we have here is a two headed beast of sad and melancholy music on one side and angry and raging music on the other. The two combine somewhere in the middle with flair for the dramatic and impassioned vocals. This is definitely worth your time if you are looking for something off the beaten path.” – Metal Temple

“Symphonic progressive metal with alternative and gothic nuances – Red Cain are well on their way to establishing new territory in story telling and musical match-ups. Kindred: Act I represents a fine opening album for these Canadians, and should lend itself well to various multi-media opportunities for live show and film options. The best records connect on a mind, body, and spirit level – and this will be one that should be in the conversation for visionary, forward-thinking effort, proving the ink is not dry on what metal can bring to the table for innovation.” – Dead Rhetoric

“Kindred: Act I is all about raw and unbridled metal power. A thoughtful brand of metal that – for once – does not base itself on mindless growling about the stage along normal lines of metal conduct. Instead they rip the established status quo to pieces and attack with a very unusual metal dish. One that comes with a distinct groove to boot… a very tasty fusion of Progressive and Power Metal that we have rarely seen to date. A metal dish best consumed red-hot. Have some, you will not regret it.” – Rock Music Raider

“I couldn’t be more impressed with this band and album from the opening track “Snake Bouquet” to the last track “Wing Of The Crow” which is an awesome closing track with guest vocals from Kobra Paige of Kobra and The Lotus. This album takes you on an epic and melodic journey, I feel fans of bands from Avatar to Kamelot to Marilyn Manson and anything in between will really love this album.” – Crannk
“Red Cain have produced a very awesome album. It sounds and looks very professional, has great riffs and epic melodies. Keep an eye on these guys, they will come very far.” – Lyrical Spell Magazine

Canada’s WEST OF HELL recently released their new album Blood Of The Infidel on April 1, 2019, which is now being supported by “The Infidels Tour” across Canada. Delivering a unique form of heavy metal with a wide range of influences from power, death and prog metal to thrash, groove and classic metal, WEST OF HELL ignores genre standards and puts their all into an insane live show.  For those who have never seen a WEST OF HELL performance, it’s not one to be missed. The combination of thrash metal riffs with modern progressive elements and power metal-esque vocals from Chris ‘The Heathen’ Valagao command the stage with a magnificent presence while literal sparks fly everywhere.

Blood of The Infidel is the band’s sophomore album, following the well-received Spiral Empire from 2012. The band’s next video ‘The Machine’ is being premiered on Decibel Magazine to follow their three videos ‘Chrome Eternal’, ‘Infidels’ and ‘Hammer and Hand’  to show fans an idea of the madness that will come from this powerhouse of a record.

Watch ‘The Machine’ at the following link: https://www.decibelmagazine.com/2019/04/10/video-premiere-west-of-hell-the-machine/

The band comments:

“The video for ‘The Machine’ is a visual interpretation of the rise of the machine brain. The band itself is digitized and become pawns of the Titan digital overlord. Chris (Heathen) Valagao along with Joseph Klymkiw produced and directed a unique vision of our cyber overlord. VR, 3D modeling, pyrotechnics, extreme body modification, suspension and traditional cinematography all come together in an extraordinary way to tell the tale of humanities uncertain future.”

About:

West of Hell is a band that delivers a unique form of heavy metal with a wide range of influences from power, death and prog metal to thrash, groove and classic metal. Band members first connected in the mid-2000s in West Auckland, New Zealand. Andrew Hulme (drums), Ivan Vrdoljak (guitars), and Sean Parkinson (guitars) started practicing together and soon found a bassist in Jordan Kemp. As they honed their skills, without a vocalist, the decision was made to relocate as a group to a larger market.

In 2009, they moved to Vancouver, BC, Canada. Still, in search of a vocalist, they were eventually led to Chris ‘The Heathen’ Valagao, frontman of Zimmers Hole. With Valagao on board (vocals) and a complete set of songs ready to record, Spiral Empire was released in 2012 via Reversed Records, followed by a tour in New Zealand and extensive touring in Canada. Valagao, using his experience as a cinematographer and SPFX artist, produced and directed two music videos for the tracks “Faceless the Droids” and “Water of Sorcery.”

Although the members had hoped to progress as a band and remain based in Canada, unfortunately, it wasn’t viable for some. Ivan left the band in early 2011 and Andrew left in 2014, both returning to NZ. Kris Schulz, a key figure in introducing the band to Valagao, was approached to join the band in 2014. His guitar playing and personality brought an exciting new twist to the band’s sound. With drummer Paul Drummond stepping in as a committed member, West of Hell has its strongest line-up to date. In conjunction with touring in support of sophomore album Blood of the Infidel, writing fresh new music for the band’s third album is well underway. The evolution of West of Hell’s sound continues!

West of Hell is:
Chris Valagao – Vocals
Sean Parkinson – Lead Guitar
Kris Schulz – Lead Guitar
Jordan Kemp – Bass
Paul Drummond – Drums

– 30 –

“Blood Of The Infidels enhances every aspect of their previous effort, upping the technical wizardry; improving the songwriting; trimming the fat and generally crafting one of the best albums of 2019. I’m not even kidding, this record keeps me coming back for more and more – and providing something new with every listen.” – 9.5/10 – Metal Observer

“Those melodies, those vocals (honestly, the guy is from Zimmers Hole who are one of my favorites based both on the music and his excellent voice). The whole package is a wonder to behold and I’m only one-track in. Instant attention grabber!” – Cult Metal Flix

“This band is just something else, I tell ya! The instrumentation is quite a beast. A hard, thrashing vibe engulfs this heavy metal riffamaggedon with both a technical and shred spirit. Thrash, traditional heavy metal, shred and a bit of technical metal all coexist and thrive. The rhythm section by itself is something to hear and the guitars, well, they will make you bang your head, of course. You have to hear this singer. You don’t hear singers like this every day! Strong powerful singing, and raging screams that sound good.” – Metal Bulletin

Toronto’s SLUDGEHAMMER are ready to pummel the masses with their forthcoming album “Antechamber” ready to destroy eardrums on April 12, 2019.

Heavy and groovy, SLUDGEHAMMER delivers the goods with astounding precision and the confidence of a world-class band. Their new music video for their second single “Climatic Death” is getting fans ready for the inevitable apocalypse.

“From its groove laden intro to its blasterrific chorus, this is a crushing track from start to finish. We find it skillfully combines heavy guitar riffs, killer vocals, and intense drumming while showcasing an ear for melody and song structure. While the lyrical content is rather dark (think apocalyptic global warming kind of dark), the song itself is a rocking good time, as you will see in the video. We really enjoyed writing this track and giving it a ripping performance to rock out to.”

BIO:

Since the release, their first full-length album, The Fallen Sun, Sludgehammer from Toronto, Canada have been riding a wave of great reviews for the record as well as their live show.

Originally formed in 2013 by Jeff Wilson (guitar) and Fernando Villalobos (drums), Sludgehammer’s initial lineup came together with the addition of Daniel Ayers (vocals/bass) and Christopher Szarota (vocals).  By the end of the year, they released a demo which gained considerable ground. 2014’s EP Organ Harvester introduced Dan Ayers as a co-vocalist, creating a unique sound that molded Sludgehammer into the heavy and groovy band it is today.

In 2016, the LP The Fallen Sun was released; fast and chunky it was well received by fans and the media. Unfortunately, after the release of that album, the band parted ways with Szarota and Josh Stephney was brought on board to complete the album cycle.

With the lineup finalized, Sludgehammer hit the road and laid waste to every stage they set foot on, showing their fans that they were now stronger than ever.  After a few successful tours in support of The Fallen Sun, it was time to start writing the next record which will be the first to feature Stephney on vocals. Sludgehammer is preparing to show their maturity by unleashing a second monstrous album “Antechamber” in 2019.

“Sludgehammer doesn’t fit neatly into the traditional death or groove metal box, as its diverse elements sets it apart from its peers… hooky riffs, catchy choruses and a perfect clean/growled vocal combination… Sludgehammer possesses loads of potential. Highly recommended!” – Bravewords

“This is how gifted SLUDGEHAMMER as a band is, even with only a demo, EP and now LP under their belts. On their own, they’re a devastating DIY metal band. With a contract in-hand, they’re gonna become unstoppable.” – Blabbermouth

““Demons From the Woodwork”. It’s a jolting, high-octane, full-throttled romp that incorporates elements of thrash, death metal, and head-slugging groove — and it’s an infectious beast that Sludgehammer have unchained.” – No Clean Singing

“Sludgehammer have a great way of infusing groove into their sound. Not nearly enough of that in death metal these days” – CJSF – Metal Meltdown

“The thing about Sludgehammer musically is they take so many different styles and mesh them together into this sound that encapsulates traditional, thrash, modern, death, and progressive metal, while creating something unique yet familiar. The excellent guitar work with hooky riffs and blazing solos matched with the heaviness and intensity was greatly appealing.” – Get Ready To Rock

Sylent Storm, ripping traditional heavy metal from Medford, USA will be premiering their video single ‘Patriots of Metal’ taken from self titled EP (2018); exclusively on the NWOTHM FULL ALBUMS YouTube channel at https://youtu.be/fbYFt0GX3Q4.

Following in the footsteps of bands such as Cauldron, Enforcer and Night Demon, Sylent Storm goes back to the sound of classic heavy metal that is reminiscent of the early New Wave of British Heavy Metal. They released their melodic and catchy self-titled debut in December of 2018.

The video for ‘Patriots of Metal’ aims to give watchers a sense of nostalgia, an urge to pound their fist, bang their head and have fun with catchy, exciting-sounding metal again.

“[It’s] exactly how I feel. Heavy metal is timeless and placeless, to me. We are all in a worldwide family brought together by the love of this one thing that’s important to us. I am patriotic toward heavy metal the way a person can be patriotic to their country. They will bravely fight for it and stand up proudly to those who oppose it. It’s our call to arms, sort of rallying the troops.” – Jym Harris (vocals)

Sylent Storm has confirmed several live dates where fans can expect an engaging performance, but for those unable to make to see them live, a tour edition cassette will be released, which includes ‘Patriots of Metal’ and bonus live tracks. A full-length album has been confirmed with a planned release late in 2019.

Bio:

Formed by lead vocalist (and then drummer) Jym Harris, along with guitarist James Lind, and bassist Matt Foster, Sylent Storm was born in Medford Oregon on March 2013. Over the next few years, the trio played dozens of shows around Southern Oregon with notable acts like Raven, Unleash the Archer, Spellcaster and Night Demon.

The band recorded their self-titled EP in early 2015, but as members parted ways, the project was left unmixed until 2018. With the growing popularity of the New Wave Of Traditional Heavy Metal, Doug Hill at Medford’s 60 Psycho Hum Studios mixed and mastered the six-track release. A physical CD was released by Stormspell Records in December of ’18 and shortly thereafter, the self-titled EP made several “Best Of 2018” lists.

As favorable reviews/mentions appeared in music publications, interest in the band began to grow. With Foster retiring from music and Lind focusing primarily on vocals in a new project, a different lineup moved forward. As of early 2019, the critically acclaimed EP has gained a moderate following in the NWOTHM community, and a video for the song “Patriots Of Metal” will be released in March. With tour dates announced, new songs are being fine-tuned for a full-length release later in the year.

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – March 5, 2019

For fans of Fear Factory, Carcass, Cynic, Pestilence, Morbid Angel

Mexico’s CIRROSIS Releases New Music Video “The Daydreamer’s Nightmare”

New Album In 20 Years “The Collector of Truths” Out In 2019

Mexico’s CIRROSIS have just released their latest music video for their next single “The Daydreamer’s Nightmare” off their upcoming album “The Collector of Truths” due out later in 2019. The album is the band’s second studio release and first in English to follow their debut Spanish language album “Reciclando Desesperación” released 20 years ago in 1999.

Watch “The Daydreamer’s Nightmare” at the following link: https://youtu.be/OuNAjN73Xpc

The video was directed by Carlos Hermosillo and showcases the band’s mix of death and thrash, suitable for fans of Fear Factory, Morbid Angel and Pestilence. The band has been lurking in the shadows and with Grammy-nominated producer Francisco ‘Chucky’ Oroz playing guitar they are finally ready to return to the underground metal scene and prove they can still write fast and technical music.

Even after 20 years, CIRROSIS is still in demand and they are looking forward to satisfying their longtime fans and impressing new ones.

Vocalist Sir Oz comments:

“Fans will hear a more versatile and technical Cirrosis, it’s organized brutality and non-pretentious songs. There are songs that seem to have an insane competition of virtuosity, we respect that, but we seek to offer a good song, heavy but structured songs. However, this does not mean that fans are not going to find technical aspects in our album; actually, they are going to find it a lot.”

CIRROSIS‘ first single off  “A Better Place To Hate” featuring Kevin Talley (Dying Fetus, Suffocation, Chimaira) can be heard at the following link: https://youtu.be/L7wfo2qjUgE

Track Listing:
1. Asfixia
2. Nowhere … But Here
3. Kill My Name
4. The Art of Breathing
5. Resistencia
6. A Better Place to Hate
7. The Daydreamer´s Nightmare
8. I’m The Universe

BIO:

CIRROSIS is a death metal band from Sonora, Mexico, formed in 1991 with the name Cirrosis by Francisco ‘Chucky’ Oroz and Sir Oz, being the only original members in the current lineup. Due to their technical capacity they incorporated early progressive elements and melodic solos, CIRROSIS quickly gained notoriety in the local and national scene. Their live performances were characterized by their intensity and fury, soon becoming a cult band. In 1996, Joseph Lev joined the band and they recorded their first demo “La Tierra de la Adicción”. In 1999, CIRROSIS entered the studio and recorded the album “Reciclando Desesperación”, with lyrics exclusively in Spanish.

In 2001, CIRROSIS decided to break up, so the members could continue with their personal and professional projects. In 2014, Concreto Records decided to reissue the album “Reciclando Desesperación” describing it as “the maladaptive sound that disturbed a style in Mexico that can give lessons to current and modern bands”.

20 years later, CIRROSIS is releasing their second studio album “The Collector of Truths” which will be released in 2019.
