Riot City - In The Dark

RIOT CITY from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, is one of those young bands that represent the new face of Canadian metal. RIOT CITY's debut album "Burn The Night" is an amalgam of ripping and hot heavy metal, created in pure and youthful madness.

Leather, steel, and spikes are the signum for these guys and yes JUDAS PRIEST is the main influence. "Burn The Night" was released May 2019 on the classic Greek Heavy Metal label No Remorse Records. Hailing from Calgary, Alberta, Canada these rippers have been around since about 2011.

Music is pure traditional heavy metal from the early 80s. Dual guitars, screaming "Rob" vocals, intense drumming and cool bass licks that cover 40-minute ride of delicious heavy metal. Even the cover of the album has a "Screaming For Vengeance" inspired artwork.

Kobra And The Lotus - Burn

Calgary-based hard rock metal quintet KOBRA AND THE LOTUS have returned with their new studio album "Evolution", which was released at September 20th on Napalm Records.

The new LP sees the band imbued with a new fire that comes through by way of undeniable hooks, soaring guitar riffs, marching drum beats, and the soulful, bombastic vocal delivery of lead singer Kobra Paige.

"Evolution" wad produced by Michael "Elvis" Baskette )ALTER BRIDGE, LINKIN PARK, SLASH, SEVENDUST).

KOBRA AND THE LOTUS consist of:

Kobra Paige – vocals, piano,

Jasio Kulakowski – lead/rhythm guitar,

Ronny Gutierrez – lead/rhythm guitar,

Brad Kennedy – bass guitar,

Marcus Lee – drums

Today's tune "Burn" is the first single from "Evolution". A hummable riff snaps into a visceral verse as the frontwoman directly declares, "I really hate you, yes I do".

“It’s about all of the reasons you hold yourself back,” she explains. “You literally need to burn all of those feelings, stories, excuses, and obstacles keeping you from being your own authentic self. It’s super personal. It’s a product of growing and arriving as a person. I’m realizing who I am. It’s symbolic of the rebirth,” says Kobra. Enjoy!

Numenorean - Adore

New week and it's time to introduce "Record Of The Week"

Little over a month ago, we posted the first single "Regret" by the Calgary-based NUMENOREAN a tune taken from the new album "Adore". A superb single that has been played a lot, when the new album finally arrived in the mail it has gotten many hours of play time. An album that took three years to make and the album is a towering work of lustrous metallic art. Its deeply-nuanced tracks weave ferocity and beauty into sweeping pieces that are as haunting as they are cathartic. NUMENOREAN place themselves at the fore of the genre’s evolution with this profoundly moving work of modern, post-black metal brilliance.

Roger LeBlanc - Guitar/vocals,

Tomas Ingham - Bass,
Jordan Daikur - Drums,

The band’s name NUMENOREAN refers to a place in the Lord of the Rings lore. The cover artwork of ‘Adore’, which has been created by Luca Pierro.

"Adore" is a ten pieces album that spins on for 43 minutes, a great length for an album and it totally has blown me away with their way of creation and manage their influences in the best possible way and serve me a listener with such a captivating beast, that is impressed. It is not often you get completely knocked down when listening to a brand new record nowadays. "Adore" is a very heavy and emotional record, melodic, moody and harsh, delightful groovy death riffs and drumming. Some musical references could be the post-black band DEAFHEAVEN and the melodic metal band GOJIRA that flows in the veins and that is the overall feeling i get when I let it loose on the turntable, an excellent flow. The sadness is mixed with angry to fury and big misery, something that goes like a loop thru the whole album. Where the tune "Portrait Of Pieces", the first real song after the intro gentle intrumental "Nocebo" is a good example of the mood. There are a lot of variety between the tunes that makes this album a joy to listen to. Tunes like the title track "Adore" and "Coma" are a good example of variety. Where the first one is really complex in its layout, beefy riffing and clean vocals the other one is more emotional and touches deeply into the soul. Tunes like "Regret" have a catchy and memorable chorus with a great flow and groove where GOJIRA comes into mind or "Horizon" that blistered of with a real black metal sound, furious and real anger, halfway true it slows down and shows another face. The execution that this album shines is marvelous and I am sure that this album will reach high when the year is to be summed up.

Sum: NUMENOREAN deliver a mesmerizing album that you should not miss.

Today's tune "Adore", enjoy!

Numenorean - Regret

The pain of life's journey does not relent. It beats against the soul's shores until the spirit is eroded. The child dies smiling, in the bliss of eternal unknowing. Comfort is found in the abyss. The destination seems bleak, ingrained deep within us. In its depths, we find what we have known all along: 'Home'.

NUMENOREAN unveil their staggering sophomore album "Adore". Three years in the making, the album is a towering work of lustrous metallic art. Its deeply-nuanced tracks weave ferocity and beauty into sweeping pieces that are as haunting as they are cathartic. NUMENOREAN place themselves at the fore of the genre’s evolution with this profoundly moving work of modern, post-black metal brilliance.

Line-up: 

Guitar/Vox - Byron Lemley
