Primalfrost Releases Icy, Melodic Single “Stormbearer” Off Upcoming Album “Lost Elegies”

As unprecedented heatwaves cook the world this summer, there is one who is trying to bring a refreshing, chilling blast of cold to fans of melodic and black metal. Primalfrost is the solo project of Canadian Dean Paul Arnold and he is putting out a third single “Stormbearer” from the forthcoming album “Lost Elegies”.

“Lost Elegies”, the third album, has been a long time coming as Primalfrost has been on hiatus since shortly after the second album “Prosperous Visions” was released in 2014. This third single proves that Arnold has only gotten better at his craft as time has gone on. He details the track:

“This song showcases the refined, matured, and developed sound of Primalfrost in every way from beginning to end. It will surely satisfy those who love the darkness and melodicism of melodic metal while blended harmoniously with the sonic assault of extreme metal, and the audio production of Jonathan Lefrancois-Leduc (ex- Blackguard/Ex Deo) to do the music justice.”

Due to touring schedules with other bands, Primalfrost was put into hiatus, only to be revived due to pandemic restrictions. Arnold writes, performs, and records all instruments, vocals and orchestration for the album. It was mixed and mastered by Jonathan Lefrancois-Leduc of Silverwings Studios in Montreal, Canada who also adds additional orchestration.

Primalfrost brings forth the melody and intensity that is the backbone of melodic death metal and is recommended for fans of Wolfheart, Stormlord, and Kalmah.

“Stormbearer” can be heard at the following links:

The release date for the next full-length “Lost Elegies” is yet to be determined.

Montreal, QC – May 25, 2021

Primalfrost Invokes A Melo-Death Chill With New Single “Nomad”

Just as the warm breeze and sun begin to thaw the cold expanse of Canada, the long-dormant Primalfrost from Toronto is rising from hibernation with a new single “Nomad” off a new eight-track album “Lost Elegies”.

Working away through the isolation of the Covid pandemic, band founder Dean Arnold expects a positive reception for the new music, citing that definitely a solid continuation of their sound, but in a matured, refined way.

“I’m incredibly excited to be bringing Primalfrost back. Grateful to say that things have finally aligned to make another album happen, and I believe the two first singles that I have released “Nomad” and “Maelstrom” are some killer tracks to showcase what else is to come. My vision with Primalfrost has always been to create an epic atmosphere and soundscape that has the heaviness and intensity to go with it. Nothing has been rushed, every song packs a punch, and I look forward to hearing what people have to say.” adds Dean Arnold.

“Lost Elegies” will be the second album from Primalfrost to follow “Prosperous Visions” (2014) (Maple Metal Records) and “Chapters of Time” (EP) (2012) (CDN Records). It was self-recorded by Dean Arnold before sending it off to be mixed and mastered by Jonathan Lefrancois-Leduc of Silverwings Studios in Montreal, Canada who also added additional orchestration. The album’s artwork will be done by Jan Yrlund (Manowar, Tyr, Korpiklaani).

Primalfrost is the personal project of Dean Arnold who writes for and plays all instruments, as well as takes on vocal duties and orchestration. Primarily a guitarist, Dean has performed hundreds of shows in 30+ countries across four continents. Primarily touring with American death metal band Vital Remains, and now Toronto’s own Operus, Dean has acquired hard-touring experience in a vast variety of settings. Dean has had dozens of guitar solo appearances on a wide variety of metal albums, including Polish death metal band Hate’s 2017 album “Tremendum” (Napalm Records) and for Colorado’s Buried Realm, alongside players like Teemu Mäntysaari (Wintersun) and Brandon Ellis (Black Dahlia Murder).

Epic and dark, Primalfrost gives a nod to Finnish melodic death metal with added elements of grit, intensity, and speed found in more extreme subgenres. It is recommended for fans of Wintersun, Wolfheart, and Kalmah.

Ottawa Blackened Death Serene Dark Streaming New Album“Enantiodromia” Before Officially Out July 17th

Canada’s Serene Dark will be unleashing their new album “Enantiodromia” this coming Friday, July 17th. “Enantiodromia” (pronounced en-an-ti-o-dromia) is dark, entrancing, and orchestral while maintaining the key elements of death and black metal. Overall, the album explores the confrontation between the shadow aspect of the personality and the integration of it into the self to create wholeness. Influenced by philosophy, stoicism, hermeticism, and the occult. The album, lyrically, is a journey towards individuation by the exploration of human darkness and transforming that pain into something tangible and meaningful. In essence- to lose one’s self entirely to reach perfection.

Before the full length’s official release, the band is streaming the album in full via BeheadingTheTraitor’s YouTube channel HERE.

The band adds:

“This album will be received as a new but familiar sound for any previous fans of our last band (Endemise)… We want our fans to get lost in the music. We want to pique some interest in fans of this style of music… We have written a lot of songs and chosen our top ten favourites.”

Under the name Endemise, the band released Far From The Light (2013) and Anathema (2016), but now with the new name, Serene Dark has made a refreshing start with elements of the previous band still lingering, but taking the songs and style to a new level on this record and experimented with various instruments and vocal styles. This album sets a new caliber and standard for Serene Dark.

“Enantiodromia” is recommended for fans of Septicflesh, Fleshgod Apocalypse, and Rotting Christ.

The album will be available on Bandcamp (CD), Spotify, Apple Music.

Music Video – ‘Of Serpentine Form’ here.

Track Listing:
1. Dualitatem
2. Of Serpentine Form
3. Where Time Drowns Still
4. Trance of Disintegration
5. Dweller In The Void of The Spirit
6. Reflecting Envenomed
7. Malocchio

“‘Enantiodromia’ is a ten track, fifty-five-minute offering with which the band “plans to unleash a blistering force of evil” and does so, I think, in the finest Metal tradition… This should be of interest to fans of Dimmu Borgir, Insomnium, Abigail Williams, Fleshgod Apocalypse Septicflesh, and Rotting Christ. For me, it had definitely been worth the wait.” – Metal Talk

“Epic, blackened death metal…if those words excite you then you’re in for a real treat. Serene Dark are at the top of their game with a new album that is the pinnacle of imagination when it comes to this style of metal. As classy as it is heavy, as brutal as it is attractive and as impactful as it is numbing.” – Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life

“I really like what Serene Dark have done here. I’m a sucker for creatively mixed genres, and the lyrical journey from repression to acceptance to healing was just what the doctor ordered for me right now. The first album under their new name, I see Enantiodromia as a transition step towards bigger and better things for the band, and I can’t wait to see where their path leads.” – Angry Metal Guy

“All in all, whether you know the band as Serene Dark or Endemise, this latest album is a stirring reflection of inner darkness and turmoil set to a delicate, almost fragile in its complexity, arrangement of traditional and orchestral instruments. Expect great things to come.” – Antichrist Metal Mag

“The adopted musical style reflects Serene Dark’s genesis: melodic, soothing, somber and heavy.” – Metal Hammer Portugal

“SERENE DARK’s “Enantiodromia” represents a significant advance from the band’s previous manifestation and gives listeners a seamless, varied, and epic articulation of black metal, melodic death metal, old school death metal, and deathcore whilst focusing on a fascinating and poignant psychological exploration.” – Mosh Pit Nation

“Altogether, SERENE DARK represents a significant advance from the band’s previous manifestation and gives listeners a seamless, varied and epic articulation of black metal, melodic death metal, old school death metal and deathcore whilst focusing on a fascinating and poignant psychological exploration.” – Black Metal Daily

“Endemise is yet another Canadian metal band that has managed to create something fucking awesome and special.” – The Dirty Room

“Black metal vocals, death metal riffs and hella lot of blastbeats. Endemise strikes with ‘Anathema’ and does so in an unrelenting manner. This extreme metal chaos will surely crush some norms settled upon by high culture tyrants.” – Lords of Metal

“A princess is in despair as her beloved knight fell in battle. She asks a magician if he could do something.

The album as a whole features 10 tracks each with its own tale to tell and a statement that unites all of them together.

Nephilim adds:

“Even when everything goes extremely bad, you should still stay strong, struggle, and hope for the best, otherwise you won’t survive or will turn into a backboneless slave.”

About:

Thy Despair band was founded by guitarist Nephilim in 2006 in Kiev, Ukraine. Initially, the band was called Thoughts of the Desperate and revealed the essence of despair in its lyrics. The first songs were written in the style of gothic doom metal under the influence of such bands as Sins of thy Beloved, Betray My Secrets, Tristania, Draconian, Estatic Fear. Later, the music became faster, instrumental parts became more complicated and exceeded the scope of gothic doom, but, nevertheless, the aesthetic melody and gloomy atmosphere remain the hallmark of the band until now. Along with the change in style, it was decided to change the name of the band to Thy Despair.

Since 2008, the band has been active live all across Ukraine, not only in Kiev clubs, but in Chernihiv, Chernivtsi, Kremenchug, Kharkov.

In 2011, Thy Despair went on a 3-year hiatus and returned in 2014 with new material and fresh lineup and material. In addition to the founder Nephilim, this line-up included Frozt on drums and Nick on keyboard who played in the previous Thy Despair line-up. New vocalist Tatyana Mikhailova (Malinconia) joined the line up along with Ep (Mental Torment, I Miss My Death) became the bass player. In such a composition, the band actively performed in clubs and open-air events. In 2015, Thy Despair experienced new problems with the line-up, after releasing the Ukrainian-language single “Vilny” (2015). The band took a pause for 2 years.

In 2017, Thy Despair was resurrected in a completely new lineup: Elin – vocal, Nephilim – guitar / growl, Strike (Crisis, Black Cat, Lord of Dust) – guitar, Navka (Dolonі, Censor, No Brakes) – keyboards, Anton (Censor, Black Cat) – bass, Alex (Two Streets) – drums. Everyone contributed something new, and the music of the band started to sound in a new key.

On May 16th, 2018 Thy Despair released their EP album called “The Free One” which included 3 tracks: “The Free One”, “Sabbath”, and “War”. The lyrics were strongly influenced by the war in Ukraine. Man’s aspiration for freedom and his scramble with insidious creatures willing to enslave his body, mind, and soul was the main idea the band developed in its lyrics.

The band decided to release the EP album in two variants: in Ukrainian and in English languages. This decision was made in order to get across to the English speaking audience the idea of liberating struggle and aspiration for freedom of nation in general and personality in particular. A limited number of CDs with Ukrainian language version were also released.

During 2018-2019, Thy Despair performed locally in Kieve along with performance on Ukrainian open-air festivals Black Sea Metal Fest and Rock Bulava.

In May of 2019, the band has released a tribute to Game of Thrones main theme on Youtube. This release included a video of the most epic moments of the series with Thy Despair’s unique authorial vision of how original music should sound like. The song also has authored lyrics inspired by Game of Thrones series.

Now in 2020, Thy Despair will unleash their first full length “The Song of Isolation” via Italy based label Rockshots Records on May 8th.

Like a blackened metallic phoenix rising from the ashes of their previous band Endemise; Ottawa’s SERENE DARK intends to take their extreme metal to new heights. Morphing from Endemise to SERENE DARK, these demons have joined forces with YouTube channel Black Metal Promotion for the premiere of their first single ‘Where Time Drowns Still’ off their forthcoming yet to be titled debut album, which was recorded at Wolf Lake Studios deep in the woods of Quebec. The upcoming album ushers a new era for SERENE DARK as the band worked with longtime producer Mike Bond (Loviatar) and session drummer Eric Morotti (Suffocation) to create a 10 song full length that plans to unleash a blistering force of evil. ‘Where Time Drowns Still’ lyrics deals with pain and loss, a theme that will be seen throughout the record.

Guitarist Dale Sauve adds:

“‘Where Time Drowns Still’ is one of our darkest songs to date and is a perfect representation of Serene Dark and the album we have nearly finished.”

Ottawa’s Blackened Death Demons SERENE DARK (formerly Endemise) Unleash A Brutal “Dualitatem” via NoCleanSinging

L-R- Alex Aksentyev – Bass / Dale Sauve – Guitar / Francesco Falsetto – Vocals / David Sauve – Drums / Graham Murphy – Guitar

Like a blackened metallic phoenix rising from the ashes of their previous band Endemise; Ottawa’s SERENE DARK intends to take their extreme metal to new heights. Recently morphing from Endemise to SERENE DARK, these demons have joined forces with NoCleanSinging.com for the premiere of their debut track “Dualitatem”, which will be featured on the band’s 2018 album.

Guitarist Dale Sauve explains:“We have been making metal with our current line-up for the past 7 years and decided a new name and fresh start was in order. Our former band Endemise formed over 12 years ago and it went through so many line-up changes and musical directions, we decided to put that band to rest and create Serene Dark as a fresh start.”

Inspired by Septicflesh, Behemoth, Watain, Dark Funeral and Dissection, SERENE DARK‘s sound is dark, heavy, entrancing, emotional, and orchestral.

Sauve adds:

“It will be received as a new, but familiar sound for any previous fans of our last band…We want our fans to get lost in the music. We want to peak some interest in fans of this style of music…For the last six months all five members have been getting together and collaborating as a group. We have written a lot of songs and chosen our top ten favourites. Fans can expect a full-length album in fall 2018.”
