 Hawkeyes – Poison Slows You Down Kitchener, ON Band Members: Patrick Finch - Guitars Ron Cybulskie - Guitars Ryan Allen - Guitars Chris Gardner - Guitars Rob Keith - Bass Stacey Schmitt - Drums/Cymbals Influences: Space grass and Time Travel, Food, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, boutique effects boxes, oversized drums and cymbals, Bill Wards red tights and heavy repetitive riffs that make you nod and drop out. Describe your sound: Chaotic Psychedelic Space-Doom What’s next for Hawkeyes? Our album Poison Slows You Down is getting a vinyl release by Helmet Lady Records and is coming out on April 18th. Our split 12" with Shooting Guns is coming out on multiple colours of vinyl in the next few months, and that is a co-release with Helmet Lady Records and Pre-Rock Records. A video is in the works for a track off of the split 12" and we are gearing up for shows starting in April, the first being April 11th at Jane Bond in Waterloo with Hawks AC and Woodlouse. https://hawkeyes.bandcamp.com/ |  Thoren – Thoren Sterling Heights, MI Band members: Anthony Lipari - Guitars and Composition Joseph Paquette - Bass Christopher Burrows - Drums and Drum Programming Influences: Our personal influences are too numerous and varied to list here, but the main musical influences on our writing are Deathspell Omega, Krzysztof Penderecki, Iannis Xenakis, Meshuggah, Cannibal Corpse, Defeated Sanity, Wormed, Portal, Ulcerate, Gojira, Dysrhythmia, Gorguts, Krallice, Hate Forest, Martyr, Nightbringer, Nile, Opeth, Suffocation, Scott Walker, and Virus. J.R.R. Tolkien Lore, Amnesia: The Dark Descent (video game) and Outlast (video game) are non-musical influences in that we use the feeling we get from those media as jumping off points compositionally. Describe your sound: Our sound is an synthesis of our influences with the focus on cohesion. This is achieved by mixing those influences in a way that sounds fresh and exciting to us. Thoren will go through many different sounds and styles through the multiple releases that have already been written and are waiting to be recorded. The common thread is the vibe of the music which will always be dark. What's next for Thoren? In the near future for Thoren is our first full length release tentatively titled Brennanberg. It is ominous, dark, jagged, dissonant, slower, groovier, and much more atmospheric that the debut EP. It has numerous interludes that will tie longer, more epic tracks together. Also, unlike the debut, it will feature the superb drumming of Christopher Burrows instead of drum machine. Thoren is always writing, has many other releases planned, and is always hard at work so stay tuned. http://thoren.bandcamp.com/ |
 Viajando - Counting Days EP Charlotte, NC Band Members: Taylor - Vox/Drums Nick – Guitar Justin - Bass Influences: Too many. Torche, Baroness, Isis, ETID, Black Flag, Band of Horses, QOTSA, Cursed, Grails Describe your sound: Loud and Heavy What’s next for Viajando? Gettin’ the fuck out of NC and seeing what the rest of the world has to show us! http://viajando.bandcamp.com/ |  Zaria - Po poti življenja Medvode, Slovenia Band Members: Inez Osina - Vocals, Flute Nika Kos – Drums Miha Merc - Guitars Jakob Konda – Guitars, Vocals Gašper Pesek – Keyboards, Vocals Rok Ražman - Bass Influences: Nightwish, Ensiferum, Eluveitie, Hans Zimmer, Equilibrium, Epica Describe your sound: Whole music is very melodic. We like natural sounds of instruments - especially flute and violin, which bring us very folky sound. We have mainly female vocals, but also vocals from Jakob and Gašper, to make all music more colorful. We have some very epic sounding parts, that is why we name ourselves as epic-folk metal. What’s next for Zaria? Making new music, searching for new ideas, crate new songs and bring them to live one day on another album. We also wish for more concerts and to have more opportunities to present ourselves also outside Slovenia. We'll follow our Star and see where it'll bring us :) http://zaria-band.bandcamp.com/ |
