“What if all those hooks, melodies and chord structures you love about classic rock were covered in distortion; the lyrics screamed bloody murder and the songs were played at punk rock speed? A satanic sonic assault on the ears, comprised of concepts covering heartache, substance abuse, death and the occult, drenched in feedback and overflowing with blazing guitar solos.”

That is how The Bloody Hell describes their music and with the release of their video from ‘Out Of Our Minds’ that crazy debauchery takes on a visual form. The highly creative and slightly NSFW video depicts the archetypal punk rock lifestyle lived out through plastic dolls and is accompanied by the rockin’ punk tune.

The single ‘Out Of Our Minds’ comes from the 2018 self-titled album, which exemplifies the band’s goal to create a fun and interesting listening experience for their fans that is full of twists and turns, highs and lows. They explain what one can expect at a live gig:

“We try to incorporate the themes into our live set as well, and always have surprises for the audience like props, guests on stage, lighting or video setups. Also, we focus a lot on melody and always have a lyrical hook so there is ample opportunity for the audience to sing along which I think is not very typical of satanic three-chord punk bands”

Formed in 2017, The Bloody Hell have gotten dirtier and more polished at the same time, with the band having got much better at writing hooks and concepts, while the guitars got louder and the vocals got uglier.

Suitable for a variety of fans, The Bloody Hell cites influences ranging from Misfits, Nirvana and Motorhead, anyone who enjoys a fun and dirty romp through catchy hooks and grungy vocals.

Watch the video on YouTube.

The Bloody Hell‘s debut self-titled album is available on Bandcamp, Apple Music, Spotify.

About:

The Bloody Hell is what would happen If George Thorogood sang for the Misfits but all the songs were written by Tom Petty. Super catchy horror rock songs about drinking and heartache played at punk rock speed.

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – October 30, 2019

MetalSucks Video Premiere: Montreal’s GROWLER CHOIR Performs “The Dayking”

Montreal’s Growler Choir (Le Choeur Des Growlers in French) was dreamt up by composer Pierre-Luc Senécal in 2016. What may have been a wild fantasy for many metalheads was finally brought to fruition in May 2019 in co-production with Le Vivier et Codes d’Accès when the eighteen member choir took the stage for their first public performance.

Comprised solely of metal growlers, the choir blends metal and contemporary music in a way that is groundbreaking. In their debut performance conducted by Senécal, the Growler Choir performed the dramatic words from the poem “The Dayking” by Fortner Anderson backed with a reinforced sound arsenal. The Growler Choir does more than emphasize vocal techniques specific to the genre of extreme metal, they explore the sonic potential of the voice to demonstrate its extraordinary properties, both sensual and monstrous.

They thoroughly delighted the audience, many of whom sat on opposite ends of the musical spectrum. The one of a kind performance was recorded so that music lovers everywhere can witness this very unique event.

The Growler Choir innovates on several levels. On one hand, it materializes an almost mythical idea of metal music; on the other hand, it renews the archetypes of a genre by approaching them in an experimental spirit. In short, they are making contemporary and metal music more approachable for new audiences.

Doom ‘An Blue from Montréal, QC have brand new spanking video for their single “Two Bit Son of a Bitch”. Self-described as “earth-shaking sounds with no goddamn bounds!”, Doom ‘An Blue is the warm rock ‘n roll hug you need as winter encroaches.

The single is a fan favourite at live gigs so it was only natural for it to become the first video for this intrepid duo of Jimmy Antle and Lee Whiskey who say that, “This track is a great representation of the core of Doom ‘An Blue. This is the tip of the iceberg that sank the Titanic, get your life jacket ready!”

Since 2018, Antle and Whiskey have, in their words, “conspired that the sounds, shapes, and possibilities of the project were to be left as limitless as the music which we would spawn; therefore inviting as many or as few collaborators from all ends of the musical universe as we feel are just right for each composition.”

This mindset and drive mean a Doom ‘An Blue performance can include as many as 30 guests who throw their talent together to create passionate and lively rock ‘n roll.

Get your feet ready for stomping and your beers ready for drinking because Doom ‘An Blue is bringing catchy rock straight to your ears!

The video is being premiered via DoomedAndStoned.com at the following link HERE.

Show Dates:
Dec 6 – Montreal, QC – Piranha Bar

Edmonton, AB’s JULIET RUIN recently released their first full-length album “Old Stardust, Love and Chaos” on September 6, 2019 to follow their 2017 debut self titled EP. The release promises to be more technical with heavy instrumentation, including some dabbling in low tuned 7 string guitars to create an original sound chock full of catchy hooks that convey a fresh and emotive feel to their heavy music. Lead vocalist Jess Ruin has added more screams, but also more clean techniques with her pop-esque power vocals. Fans of forward-thinking modern metal such as Evanescence, System of a Down, and Killswitch Engage should take special note of this powerful and emotive Canadian band.

Teaming up with GhostCultMag.com, JULIET RUIN is excited to premiere their latest lyric video for the track ‘Fight To Win’ at the following link HERE.

The band adds:

“‘Fight to Win’ is probably one of the more unique tracks on the album. It begins softly and quickly changes pace, flowing into our most experimental vocals in the verses. FTW is a wordy and exciting track with an array of vocal styles. The verses of this one are special vocally because of creative on-the-spot thinking in the studio by Diego Fernandez. The last-minute change to make the verses more spoken the entire mood of the song different. FTW is an ode to owning up to a vengeful nature just to flaunt it proudly as a warning sign.”

Digital stream and download of JULIET RUIN‘s debut album “Old Stardust, Love, and Chaos” is available on Spotify, Bandcamp, Apple Music, Amazon.

Music Video ‘Spite’ here.

Lyric Video ‘Seasons’ here.

In additional news, JULIET RUIN will be supporting Ukraine’s Jinjer in Calgary on October 29th and Edmonton on October 30th.

“Every band needs to find that element, which connects them with a fanbase, and Juliet Ruin has done that early on in their career.” – PureGrainAudio

“Pre-album single “Spite” that features a Sprite logo is also reminiscent of “Cloud Factory” era Jinjer with an excellent vocal range on show. Blending riffs seamlessly with gravity defying leaps between sub-genres from classic Metal to Hard Rock to Metalcore, it’s a nice twist on the conventional approach.” – Metal Noise

“If you are into Halestorm, Jinjer, Killswitch Engage you are gonna fall in love with this group not just a bit. But madly and deeply! Grab a hold of this gem of a release on the 6th of September you aint gonna regret it , cos Juliet Ruin aint gonna “Ruin” ya day they are gonna make it !! ” – The Metal Gods Meltdown

Returning from their performance at the metal holy land known as Wacken Open Air in Germany, Toronto’s melodic proggers THE SLYDE are sharing with fans live video from the festival of their track ‘So Blind’, which is off their latest album ‘Awakening’. THE SLYDE performed at the festival after winning the 2019 Wacken Metal Battle Canada competition and being selected to represent their home country at the Wacken Metal Battle international final.

Watch the Wacken Metal Battle Canada champions slay the stage via premiere on Bravewords.com here.

Vocalist/ guitarist Nathan Da Silva adds:

“It was a real honour and pleasure to perform on the Holy Lands of Wacken. We made a lot of awesome friends and connected with a lot of bands in the Metal Battle. The festival does such an amazing job to keep all metalheads happy. We were also pleasantly surprised with how the weather held up this year, except for, ironically, during our soundcheck, where there was a 2-hour weather delay that forced us to cut 2 songs from our set. Despite these last-minute changes, we rocked the hardest we could and gave it our all. To say that we played the world’s biggest heavy metal festival means a lot to us. Thank you to all the organizers, judges and fans for making this possible. In addition, we have found even more drive to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of our band, with eight shows in September and October and new music and a music video to release in the next few months. ”

Now back on Canadian soil, THE SLYDE will be kicking off their ’10 Years And Counting Tour’ to celebrate their 10 years of performing and recording their melodic prog rock since first forming in Ottawa, ON in 2009 to later re-locate permanently to Toronto, ON.

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – August 28, 2019

Bluesy, Yet Incendiary, MOKOMOKAI Reveal Music Video ‘World of Sorrow’

MOKOMOKAI have released their latest music video for their banging track ‘World of Sorrow’ off the 2018 release “Shores of The Sun”.

Taking a new age hard rock sound with a taste of some old school influences such as Diamond Head, Judas Priest, Motörhead, and Black Sabbath,MOKOMOKAI’s explosive lineup starts with originals John Ellis on high-octane guitar and Halfordesque vocals matched by the heavy bottom of bassist Jermy Pastic along with Bobby Deuce (of east coast heavyweight quartet Iron Giant). MOKOMOKAI recently firmed up their assault with the addition of JJ Tartaglia (of renowned Toronto bands Skull Fist and Final Trigger).

“When it comes to good old Canadian thrash that is new and, frankly, still relevant, there is only one band to turn to… Peterborough, Ontario’s Mokomokai” – rockandrolljunkie.com

The music video for the track, ‘World of Sorrow’ is incendiary and artistic capturing the well-refined range of the vocals alongside the bluesy bass lines, and tight guitar work that rounds out into a gripping heavy rocking ballad.

Stepping it up from inner-city Toronto, Canada by way of the province of Ontario’s pastoral Lakeland frontier of Peterborough, MOKOMOKAI is a hard-rocking foursome whose thundering stage assault has set the Canadian rock and metal tour circuit alight since first forming in 2011.

Watch the video for ‘World of Sorrow’ on YouTube here.

MOKOMOKAI‘s latest album “Shores of The Sun” is available for download and stream on Spotify, Bandcamp, Apple Music plus CD from Boonsdale Records here.

Track Listing:

Track Listing:

1. Come Down (4:11)
2. Empty As My Pockets (5:05)

4. World Of Sorrow (3:35)
5. Blood Drunk (3:00)
6. Enemy (2:37)

BIO:

Stepping it up from Inner-city Toronto, Canada by way of the province of Ontario’s pastoral Lakeland frontier of Peterborough, Mokomokai is a hard-rocking foursome whose thundering stage assault has set the Canadian rock and metal tour circuit alight since first forming in 2011. Critics and fans alike have been astounded by Mokomokai’s white-hot brand of rock and roll, which takes influence from the likes of Motorhead and Judas Priest, and pushes it fast and further into incendiary territory.

If you are a lover of all eras and aspects of heavy metal then look no further than Mokomokai’s newest album “Shores Of The Sun”. This album is yet another seemingly impossible merger between the classic and the modern. From the bluesy stadium vibes of World of Sorrow to the full tilt Ride the Lightning infused power of Shadow in the Storm, this album truly stands on the shoulders of every corner of the heavy metal universe. Produced at Pro Gold Studios in Toronto ON by mastermind Ian Blurton, the follow-up to their debut album “Poison Whiptail”, this is yet another hook, line and sinker in a way that only these boys can deliver.

“Hot damn, but does Ontario’s Mokomokai fucking rock!… Whatever band you want to name or you’re a huge fan of from that era [NWONHM}, guess what? Their sound and stamp is on this somewhere be it Diamond Head, Tygers Of Pan Tang, UFO, Jaguar, Whitesnake, Praying Mantis, or __________ (insert NWOBHM band here)” – Metal Nexus

“Mokomokai boasts a singer, John Ellis, with that rare set of pipes that can scale traditional heavy metal heights à la Dio and then clench the end of a line with a thrillingly nightmarish Halfordian screech” – Now Magazine

“The vocalist sounds like a cross between Diamondhead, Angel Witch and Ian Gillan era Deep Purple.” – Hellbound.ca

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – July 30, 2019

For fans of Rush, Dream Theater, Coheed and Cambria, Haken

Wacken Metal Battle Canada Champions Proggers THE SLYDE New Music Video ‘These Wars’

L-R: Nathan Da Silva (Lead Vocals, Guitar), Sarah Westbrook (Keyboards, Samples), Andrew Suarez (Drums), Alberto Campuzano (Bass, Backup Vocals)

Winners of the 2019 Wacken Metal Battle Canada competition, Toronto’s melodic proggers THE SLYDE have released a video for the track ‘These Wars’, one of the highlights from their latest album ‘Awakening’.

The ‘no-budget video’ was filmed in the Toronto region and is a no-frills visual accompaniment to the first single off the band’s second full-length album that was released at the end of 2018. The band shares the video’s concept:

“We had a lot of fun shooting the video for These Wars. We went mostly for a straight-up, rockin’ out, daytime shoot, as we wanted to show what it’s like to see us live in concert. The song comments on the impact that cell phones have made on society, and I think the silly shots convey that nicely and compliment the performance shots.

‘Awakening’ is an audio masterpiece harnessing the intricate, contrapuntal prog metal they’ve honed over the last decade. Described by critics as “a highly impressive, thunderously powerful, thought-provoking collection of songs” and “vigorous and passionate”, THE SLYDE carve their own path and take no prisoners.

Watch ‘These Wars’ here.

In additional news, THE SLYDE will be performing on August 2nd at Wacken Open Air in Germany, a festival with an attendance of over 80,000. The band is performing at the festival after winning the 2019 Wacken Metal Battle Canada competition and being selected to represent their home country at the Wacken Metal Battle international final.

After their Wacken Open Air performance the band will be returning to Canada for their ’10 Years And Counting Tour’ to celebrate their 10 years of performing and recording their melodic prog rock since first forming in Ottawa, ON in 2009 to later re-locate permanently to Toronto, ON (dates listed below).

The band adds:

“We are pleased that we made it 10 years doing what we love to do. And it couldn’t be better, in terms of timing, that we are chosen as the Canadian reps for the Wacken Metal Battle international final – which we are beyond stoked for. For the tour, we’ll be doing some songs we haven’t played in years, and we hope to see some longtime fans in attendance. And after the tour, we’ll be hitting the studio to release something special for our 10 year anniversary, so look out for that come Christmas time. Here’s to another 10 years!”

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – July 26, 2019

For fans of Sons of Butcher, Me First And The Gimme Gimmes, Foo Fighters, Soundgarden, 80s pop hits

MetalInsider Premiere MOONLIGHT DESIRES’ Summer Cover Video ‘Patio Lanterns’ (Kim Mitchell)

Kim Mitchell’s timeless summer classic ‘Patio Lanterns’ is getting a fresh new revival thanks to fellow Canadians MOONLIGHT DESIRES. The band has been reworking classic 80s tunes since 2014, turning familiar, contemporary songs into heavy rock anthems.

“We are going for a Canadian summer kind of vibe. We also have a couple of very summery live shows planned to go with the song.”

Teaming up with MetalInsider.net, the band is premiering their cover video of fun summer times of ‘Patio Lanterns’ at the following link here.

Coming from the mind of ‘Sons of Butcher’ creator Trevor Ziebarth, MOONLIGHT DESIRES is the only cover band you’ll ever need. Stripping the synth-ridden 80’s classics and transforming them into rock and roll singalongs is the name of the game for them and they do it oh so well.

Fun, punchy and of course with lyrics everyone knows, MOONLIGHT DESIRES are the band your summer needs. You can catch them at the following events:

July 27: WTFest w/ The Sheepdogs, USS, The Beaches and more – Brantford, ON @ Lion’s Park

Tickets here.

August 3: Strummerfest Music Festival- Kitchener, ON @Waterloo Public Square – Free Event!

August 10: Erie Wind Music Festival – Fort Erie, ON @ Pleasant Beach Campground (Moonlight Desires headlining event)

BIO:

Moonlight Desires might only play 80s cover songs, but you’d be wrong to dismiss them as just another cover band. Formed by long-time Hamilton, Canada musician Trevor Ziebarth (Actor/Writer/Composer on Teletoon’s adult comedy series Sons of Butcher), Moonlight Desires is his ode to the raunchy romances and youthful misadventures of summer’s past. By re-working synth-laden pop hits of the 1980s, Ziebarth manages to turn familiar guilty pleasures into modern, guitar-driven rock anthems.

“I created a television show with my brother Jay Ziebarth back in 2005 called ‘Sons of Butcher’. It was a unique adult comedy cartoon series that aired on Teletoon and was sold to over 200 countries around the world. As a companion to the show, Sons of Butcher recorded and released a few comedy rock albums using songs from the show as inspiration, and travelled across Canada twice on a sponsored tour by Teletoon. As a live band, Sons of Butcher used to perform heavied-up covers of 80s songs and they often became fan/crowd favourites. Ultimately, I noticed the positive response and it led to the formation of Moonlight Desires in 2013.” says Trevor Ziebarth.

While their 2014 debut album “Frankie Goes To Hamilton” delivered a rollicking arrangement of classic love songs, the band’s follow-up “Just The Hits: 1981-1985”transforms timeless hits such as “Sunglasses At Night” by Corey Hart and “Something About You” by Level 42 into party rock anthems. Satisfying that hunger to escape the shackles of reality with fun times and familiar hits, Moonlight Desires entire catalogue is available on all major digital platforms.

“Just The Hits (1981-1985) is a short album with a very high entertainment factor.” – Disagreement.net

“this is a fun album, well executed and stubborn but respectful to the originals. I can only applaud that and advise you to check this album out.” – Merchants of Air

“This album is comprised of hard rock 80s pop covers that often border on metal, and it is every bit as fun as it sounds.” – Hellbound.ca

“It is glorious, a less tongue in cheek Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. It is the Alpha and the Omega. Life has meaning, and it’s buried in the dreams of a girl with teased hair and a boy with a tennis racket for a guitar…” – Nine Circles

“…Moonlight Desires’ second offering is filled with the top-notch heavy covers of 80s Synth Pop classics their fans have come to expect.” – Bradmachry.ca

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – July 25, 2019

For fans of Killswitch Engage, In Flames, Alexisonfire, Architects, Trivium

MetalInsider Premiere ALL ELSE FAILS’ New Music Video ‘Thrice Broken’

New Album ‘The False Sanctuary’ Available As Pay What You Want

Edmonton’s ALL ELSE FAILS have just announced a new video for the single ‘Thrice Broken’ of their 2018 release “The False Sanctuary”.

The video was recorded in 2018, internationally with vocalist/guitarist Barrett Klesko in Joshua Tree, USA and guitarist Mike Sands in Örebro, Sweden. Klesko has the following to say about the single, which is slower than what is typically expected from AEF:

“It’s analogous to where the band was in regards to our lineup over the past couple of years, all of us growing further apart due to new interests, but still having passion for the project. This is the last piece of music that Mike and I collaborated on, and I’m super proud of it. It’s totally a different approach for us (a ballad style remake of a previous song), and an awesome way to close off this chapter of AEF as we dive into the new one.”

ALL ELSE FAILS is suitable for all modern metal fans, especially those with an interest in Killswitch Engage, In Flames, Alexisonfire, and Architects.

Watch ‘Thrice Broken’ via MetalInsider.net here.

Keeping with their tradition of crushingly heavy and progressive metal, ALL ELSE FAILS‘ latest album “The False Sanctuary” features 2 new songs along with 5 B-sides that were never released digitally from their critically-acclaimed 2016 full length ‘The Forever Lie’.

Vocalist/guitarist Barrett Klesko adds about their latest release “A False Sanctuary”:

“In a lot of ways this album is at a state of the union address. It’s been 2 years since the release of The Forever Lie, and already the themes of financial corruption, abuse of religious power, and political scandal seem tame. I wrote this one half with a sarcastic smirk, half with a crippling sense that we are well past the point of return.”

‘The False Sanctuary’ is available on Bandcamp (pay what you want for a limited time), along with stream and download on Spotify, iTunes, and all major online retailers.

BIO:

Coming out of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, All Else Fails (AEF) is making a mark around the world for their aggressively dark brand of modern metal that is breaking the traditional ideals of their genre. Drawing comparisons to bands like Killswitch Engage, In Flames, and Of Mice and Men, the band infuses their metalcore sound with a variety of elements including experimental riffs, classical melodies, sporadic synth lines, and spoken word sampling to accent a unique vocal blend ranging from heavy gutturals to spine-tingling cleans.

Since first getting together in 2006 they have focused on producing a high energy live show that not only sets them apart from their peers, but has garnered them appearances on numerous festivals over the years, including the Unmaad and Alcheringa Fests In India, Vans Warped Tour, Boonstock along with opening spots for artists like Protest the Hero, Cancer Bats, Dayglo Abortions, 3 Inches of Blood, Fear Factory, Threat Signal, Decapitated, Suffocation, Trivium and Arise & Ruin.

Over their highly acclaimed career, they have released 3 EPs, 3 full-lengths, and a live DVD. AEF is only gaining momentum and they are ecstatic to be adding to this impressive discography in 2019 with the full length ‘The False Sanctuary’.

Bio:

From the bowels of Satan’s lair, Dizastra has come. Their story begins with veteran performer of Quebec’s Heavy Montreal music festival and Wacken Metal Battle Canada finalist Matt Conti. He joined forces with Denis Stoisin. Together they mixed melody with ferocity, merging the sounds of Black, Thrash, and Melodic Heavy Metal. Within a year of forming, Dizastra released their first EP titled “Hell’s Gate” in 2015. The release brought them recognition as a rising force within the Quebec Heavy Metal scene and national acclaim.

Dizastra’s line-up was solidified in the summer of 2017 with the addition of Nathan Afilalo of Dissension on bass and Petey Giampa of Venomenon on drums. The contributions of these new members summoned new speed and malice to the group’s sound. With the band firmly established, they dug their heels in the trenches and began writing material for their first full-length album.

At long last, the wait is finally over. “Elder Sun” is the next chapter in Dizastra’s legacy that will guarantee them a place amongst Heavy Metal’s elite. Set for release in the fall of 2019, the “Elder Sun” rises.
