Winnipeg, MB death metal band Psychotic Gardening is creeping closer to the release date of their new album ‘Hymnosis’ out on Tuesday, May 13th. Teaming up with Bloody-Disgusting.com, the band is exclusively streaming the album at the following link.
Album Stream – Psychotic Gardening – ‘Hymnosis‘ – http://bloody-disgusting.com/exclusives/3292975/psychotic-gardening-hymnosis-exclusive-album-premiere/
Guitarist Andrew Wiens comments on the album:
“What we do is instinctual. We write for ourselves, to appease our own desire for music and art, it’s what motivates us. We rely on our own instincts and trust that what works for us will work for our fans. We believe in dynamics, that the juxtaposition of our faster songs with our slower songs lends power to our music. I’d like to think that HYMNOSIS takes you on a musical journey, through peaks and valleys – metaphorical musical textures – so that at the end of the day, you’re affected by this as a collective work.”
The band returns in 2014 with new material and the return of Chuck Labossiere after he filled in with Broken Hope for tour dates in Europe and Canada. The album is the follow up to 2011’s ‘Humanitorium’ and 2007’s debut ‘Hürdür’ and features nine heavy hitting assaults sure to bang skulls with itsfull-throttle, go-for-the-throat execution of doom and black metal. In this release the band digs into its death metal roots for a concoction of their most vicious material while still hammering down on doom-laden monster riffs.
Psychotic Gardening will also be holding an album launch in their hometown of Winnipeg, MB on May 9th at The Zoo with local support from Endless Chaos and Entity. Show Details: https://www.facebook.com/events/1514897748737555/

“If you’re into that old school feel, you don’t want to miss out on this release” – Counter Culture Nerd
“Psychotic Gardening has delivered a new LP, Hymnosis, that will become an instant favorite of metal heads. This is not a debatable statement but one of fact and I believe that you will join me in that statement as you listen to the well crafted progressions and pounding drums. Each cut takes on a life of it’s own and you can not only hear the procession but also feel it as well. Do yourself a favor and get this LP on May 13th. Words can not even describe how much I enjoyed listening to this brutal work of metal art but I hope that you understand where I’m going with it.” – Tommy Tee – Insane Realm Radio
“Combining equal parts death-, doom- and black-metal, Psychotic Gardening creates a sonic assault on the ears and the soul in its latest album, Hymnosis…a solid effort with bits of black onyx lighting up through the muck and slime. The gods of darkness should be pleased with Psychotic Gardening’s offering.” – The Collegian
“Psychotic Gardening mixes elements of death, doom, thrash and classic heavy metal with great results: Hymnosis is nothing short of incredible. The first big highlight of summer 2014.” – Emurg
“Now the next leading act in the Canadian scene has certainly impressed me and given me hope for the vast land to churn out a lot of good music in the years to come. By that I am referring to blackened doom metal outfit: Psychotic Gardening and their fourth album: HYMNOSIS. This very impressive release opens with very loud, fast and extremely heavy black metal tunes from the first track.” – The Independent Voice

Winnipeg, MB death metal band Psychotic Gardening has teamed up with extreme metal authority Decibel Magazine to premiere their new music video ‘Origin of The Infection’ directed by guitarist Andrew Wiens on Deciblog in support of their forthcoming album ‘Hymnosis’ set for release on May 13th.
Director/Guitarist Andrew Wiens comments:
“The video for ‘Origin of the Infection’ is gritty and dark. It’s the first time we’ve had a chance to produce a storyline into one of our videos, which is something we’ve wanted to do for a long time. It’s basically a metaphor for some of the things we see in society. It’s certainly open to some interpretation in terms of the implications of what it means and we hope it will provoke thought.
We’re really proud of this one from a number of perspectives. It was put together by my video production company with my trusty director of photography Sam Karney and I. We had a number of the guys from the band chip in and help during the production of it. It all came together in what we feel to be the best video we’ve done to date by far.”

About: CROWS: REMIXES, REBOOTS AND ALTERNATIVE VERSIONS (LP)
In March of 2014 three-piece hip-hop/blues/folk-constellation Crows: released their debut album called “Remixes, Reboots and Alternative Versions”. “Remixes…” started out as just what it sounds like; a remix album. Using a microphone, a loop-pedal and one 15-watt amplifier Mumbles put together rough remixes of tracks lifted off his friend, Winnipeg prairie-rapper Abstract Artform’s album “As the Crow Flies”. Enter Co-pilot; with who’s sincerely dope and playful cuts, amongst other additions to the mixes, the sound of the album broadened.
The track list contains both alternative versions of previously released songs by Abstract Artform, and original – previously unreleased songs made by Crows: as a three-piece.
“This album sounds like what would happen if a bunch of Canadian rappers and beat maestros emigrated to the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, sitting out on the porch with their equipment, jars of moonshine tucked neatly between rocking chairs.” –Rapreviews.com

“If “REAL” hip hop is your thing than you’ve got to see these guys live.” – The Scene Magazine (Indie Week 2012 Concert Review)
“Abstract Artform is all about putting its own distinctive twist on things when it comes to hip-hop. The genre is principally about repping where you’re from, and frontman/producer MC Shea Malcolmson notes they take it to heart.” – CBC Radio 3
“Halifax’s Classified might be trying to establish himself as the preeminent writer of hip-hop songs tied to our national identity, but Winnipeg’s Abstract Artform might just give him a run for his money.
The group, fronted by MC and producer Shea “Kid A” Malcolmson, fuses live jazz and soul-like music with vocal delivery familiar to fans of groups like Jurassic 5. Their “I Am Canadian” single from 2010’s His Story In The Making is a hit waiting to happen while other cuts share and celebrate life in a Prairie capital. Upcoming full-length As The Crow Flies is their second in as many years and the third since 2008’s Prairie Kid. The band’s work ethic has garnered them consecutive appearances at the taste-making NXNE festival, a 12-month stay on the Chart college lists, and a slew of other appearances and opportunities.
With easy flow, great instrumentals, and lyrics worth turning an ear to, Abstract Artform should be must-play material for any Canadian hip-hop fan.” – Canadian Musician Magazine
“Abstract Artform came out swinging with “Here We Are” from their debut album Prairie Kid. Their high energy set continued with stomping, rap exercises and oh yes songs: “Hands up”, “I Am Canadian” and “Summer in the City.” They debuted “BAMF”(produced by Canadian beatsmith/MPC-Jedi Fresh Kils) a new song from their upcoming album.”(Live Review) – Stylus Mag (Winnipeg)
“His Story in the Making, the second album from Abstract Artform (aka producer/MC Kid A, aka Shea Malcolmson), delivers on the promise hinted at on Prairie Kid. From the easy groove of Winnipeg (feat. Fashawn) to the funked-out Old School (feat. Flo Soul) to the hooky Hip Hop (Is What I Was Doing), Kid A establishes himself as a self-deprecating, clever wordsmith who isn’t afraid to let his Prairie roots show. There are no bitches ’n’ bling tales of excess here, either; Steady At It is a refreshing reality check about the financial struggles faced by Canadian artists, hip hop and otherwise.- 4/5 – Jen Zoratti – Uptown Mag – Review – His Story In The Making
“Canadian hip hop group ABSTRACT ARTFORM is a perfect recipe of golden era hip hop combined with funk and soul from the 70′s, and of course some new school influence. Abstract Artform founded by Kid A, the band includes several members: Kid A – lead vocalist/writer/producer, Cue – hypeman/back-up vocalist, DJ ill Type – DJ, Bishop Grandin – drums, D-Rail – bassist, Cam Wilks – drums” – HipHopForever – Review – His Story In The Making
“What happened to hip hop?” MC Abstract Artform, aka Shea Malcolmson, asks on Here We Are. Good question. Luckily, this Prairie kid is eschewing the commercial hip hop cluttering our radio airwaves and, like Winnipeg expat Grand Analog and Edmonton’s Cadence Weapon, takes a decidedly old-school approach to hip hop. Heavily funk inflected, Prairie Kid dares you not to dance – but it’s Malcolmson’s deep, Buck 65-esque vocals that make this record shine. Check out Boom and They Call Me featuring the renowned DJ Brace. – Jen Zoratti – Uptown Mag – Review – Prairie Kid
“You can call him Abstract Artform. You can call him Kid A. You can even call him Shea Malcolmson. But don’t call him a poser. This debut proves the local MC and producer is definitely for real. His beats are stark yet distinctive, his eclectic tunes splice ’70s samples with his own material, and his gruff, tongue-tripping flow bypasses thug fantasies for intelligent realism. We’d call that cool.”- Darryl Sterdan – Winnipeg Sun – Review – Prairie Kid
“You one of the coolest, smartest and sincerest artist I know. Much success.” – Akil the MC (LA SKILL DISTRICT/JURASSIC 5)
“…Distinctively Canadian Hip-Hop…” “…National hit song writing material…” – Greg Wells PRODUCER (ONE REPUBLIC, LINDSAY LOHAN, CRASH TEST DUMMIES, DEFTONES)

The band returns in 2014 with new material and the return of Chuck Labossiere after he filled in with Broken Hope for tour dates in Europe and Canada. The album features nine heavy hitting assaults sure to bang skulls with itsfull-throttle, go-for-the-throat execution of doom and black metal. In this release the band digs into its death metal roots for a concoction of their most vicious material while still hammering down on doom-laden monster riffs.

About Jeff Gunn:
As a Toronto-based freelance guitarist who has performed and taught music in North America, Europe, Africa and Asia, Jeff Gunn has performed at venues and festivals such as The World Bank, Capitol Hill, Canadian Music Week, Festival d’été de Québec, Toronto Center for the Arts, Pop Montreal and was recently featured on TED Talks and the TV Series “Guitar Picks” narrated by Kim Mitchell. He has toured and arranged with US artist Dwayne Britton (LML Music) who was honoured with ‘Top Ten Vocal Albums of 2008’ by Talkin’ Broadway. Their arrangement of Annie Lennox’s “Why” received much critical acclaim in the NY Daily News and in the UK by The Stage. Jeff contributed guitars to Morgan Sadler’s “Go On”, the winner of ‘Best Song 2009-2010’ at The Toronto Independent Music Awards, and he is featured on Emmanuel Jal’s single “Lose to Win” from his album See Me Mama (2012). A real humanitarian, he co-founded the Canadian Alliance Against Modern Slavery, which mission is to liberate contemporary slaves and combat slavery.
Receiving his BFA and BED in Music Education at York University, Canada, Gunn has published over 60 articles in Canada, the US, UK and in Thailand, in fields as diverse as music, travel, fashion and history. He was most recently published in Canadian Musician, holds a “guitar tips” column with The Guitar Magazine in Thailand, served as a “guitar tips” and “music travel” columnist with Muzik Etc (2008-2011), and has contributed to Thai Classic Guitar Magazine, Fashion Studio 7, YYZ Living, Verge Magazine and The Journal of World History (University of Hawaii Press).
Years of practice, experimentation and implementation has led Jeff to share his vision with guitar lovers of all ages and levels of performance by putting his knowledge on paper and through masterclasses.
“…the most to offer out of any guitar book series…Rather than going through boring scales and repetitive work, Jeff teaches you how to find your own musical spirit and voice through fun exercises and using your own imagination…Amazing! And that’s the bottom line!” – Brian Stephenson, world renowned guitarist/vocalist (Old James, Aggressor)
