Welcome to another unstoppable infestation by the hardest-hitting headbangers and loudest louts admissable by law. Are you sitting comfortably? Well, get the hell up! This ain’t no symphony, dumbass. This is the Grindhouse! And we are here to bring you the folks who are bringing it. Consider it brought:
Chüzo | Bruised & Broken
THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Canadian aggro-metal troupe Chüzo have a knock-out video that is sure to leave you Bruised & Broken. The video is in support of the Montreal band’s latest EP M.T.M.D. (Maximum Threshold, Minimum Decay), produced with Kevin Jardine (Slaves On Dope, Uplift Recording Studio). “This track is about being pushed, provoked, and instigated to the point of no return,” the band say. “When in life one encounters certain individuals whose existence is to only make you angry and enraged; to bully you and disrespect you beyond aggravation, and the inevitable result that losing your temper and seeing red does to the individual being provoked and instigated is what this track is about. The utter destruction and devastation that awaits the foolish person who dares to provoke a person who has been pushed to the edge of human insanity; fuck around and find out!”
Mad Parish | An Age To Quell
THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Montreal’s heavy metal powerhouse Mad Parish present their new video for An Age To Quell. This latest offering from their recently released progressive metal concept album The Dust Of Forever continues to showcase the band’s musical prowess and storytelling abilities. “A little more on the power metal side of things, this is an uptempo tune with a galloping intro, double bass drum verses, and a catchy pop-style vocal melody in the chorus,” they say. “The guitar riffs are very well crafted (the opening riff is about as catchy as a riff could be). Probably the most ‘pop’-style song on the album, one of our favorites.” Representing another crucial chapter in the album’s narrative, An Age To Quell further immerses listeners in the epic tale of immortality and universal peril. The track exemplifies Mad Parish’s signature blend of NWOBHM-inspired riffs, progressive structures, and arena-ready choruses.”
Abolishment Of Flesh | Disavowed
THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Texas death metal tyrants Abolishment Of Flesh are unshackling their new video for Disavowed, the closing track from their 2023 EP Resurrecting Misanthropy. The video continues the band’s tradition of creating intense, uncompromising visual experiences that match their sonic brutality. Ramon Cazares (guitars/bass/drums/vocals) explains: “I wrote this song a couple of years ago. In a way, this could be a continuation of Hater of Man. It’s about a person that’s grown old and became misanthropic. This takes place in the future. It’s a reflection of how the world and society have failed this person. They’ve finally given up on everything and just sit and wait for death.” At just over four minutes, Disavowed represents the band’s evolved sound — more structured yet still maintaining the raw, chaotic energy that has defined their music since their early days.”
Braveride | Executioner
THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Epic power metal warriors Braveride return with Executioner, the first single from their upcoming album The Great Awakening, due April 18. A battle hymn of unstoppable force, Executioner delivers soaring melodies, galloping riffs, and a thunderous rhythm section embodying the band’s signature blend of symphonic and epic power metal. Alongside the release, Braveride have unveiled a lyric video, allowing fans to immerse themselves in the song’s powerful themes while following the evocative storytelling of the lyrics. Designed to bring the narrative and emotion of Executioner to life, the lyric video enhances the track’s epic and cinematic nature, reinforcing the battle-driven intensity of the song. With striking visuals and a compelling lyrical flow, the video serves as the perfect gateway into the world of The Great Awakening, setting the tone for the album’s mythical journey.”
Serpentyne | Run For Your Life
THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Serpentyne have unleashed their highly anticipated new album Tales From The Dark, a bold evolution of their symphonic metal sound. The album refines its signature fusion of orchestral grandeur and modern metal intensity, weaving together fast-paced, cinematic compositions with powerful vocal harmonies. Fans of Nightwish, Within Temptation and Eluveitie will find themselves immersed in a dynamic and evocative listening experience. The road to Tales From The Dark has been paved with an electrifying single that introduced listeners to the album’s rich sonic universe. The album release is accompanied by the focus track Run For Your Life, a relentless and high-energy anthem that captures urgency and fear through a powerful mix of eight-string guitar work, soaring vocals, and layered orchestration. This song encapsulates the cinematic intensity of Serpentyne’s evolved sound, pulling listeners into a desperate chase for survival.”
Rod Rodrigues | Tales Of A Changing Life Suite
THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Sharing his journey and stories of coming to Canada from Brazil on the new album Tales Of A Changing Life Part 2, guitarist and songwriter Rod Rodrigues is pleased to release his latest video Tales Of A Changing Life Suite, a track that features Hugo Mariutti (bowed guitar), Heitor Tenorio (bass), Orlan Charles (keyboards and orchestrations) and Lucas Emídio (drums). “Tales Of A Changing Life Suite is the epic piece I always wanted to write,” says Rodrigues. “It brings together everything that defines my guitar playing, blending all my influences — prog rock, orchestrations, shredding, and Latin music. The song takes you on a journey, much like Journey to the Centre of the Earth, with different sections that flow like a musical adventure, filled with emotion, complexity, and dynamic shifts.”
