Following the acclaimed debut ‘From The Brink Of Infinity’, Whyzdom have signed a deal with Scarlet Records and are proud to present ‘Blind?’, their new album. The band, which is known for their own signature approach to Symphonic Metal, blend once more intricate orchestral parts (including all the subtleties of strings, winds, brass, classical percussions, piano, harp etc.) and a real choir with the power of Heavy Metal. Through a coherence that hides the inherent complexity of this genre, Elvyne Lorient’s passionate melodies immediately stick into your mind, conveying pure emotions right from the very first note she sings.
The album title not only refers to the blindness of people towards what’s happening around them, but also to the fact that we, as humans, often deliberately choose to be blind in many uncomfortable circumstances that eventually lead us on the wrong path of life.
‘Blind?’ was produced by Vynce Leff, recorded and mixed in Paris at Powermania Studio and mastered by Mathieu Gillon and Vynce Leff at 120dB Studio. The stunning artwork is the result of a collaboration between X-Nihilo Design, Les Créations Vultus and Florent Cuaz. They’ve all accomplished to give real life to Whyzdom’s visual universe.
SELLING POINTS: · The long-waited return of the Symphonic Metal masters!
· Following the acclaimed debut ‘From The Brink Of Infinity’
· Intricate orchestral parts and a real choir mix with the power of Heavy Metal
· Produced by Vynce Leff
· Mastered by Mathieu Gillon and Vynce Leff at 120dB Studio
· Stunning artwork by X-Nihilo Design, Les Créations Vultus and Florent Cuaz
Formed in late 2010 by former Imagika lead guitarist Steven Rice and drummer Wayne DeVecchi, Kill Ritual is completed by former Eldritch guitarist Roberto Proietti, former Dark Angel bassist Danyael Williams and Bay Area vocalist Josh Gibson. Kill Ritual have signed a deal with Scarlet Records for the release of their debut album ‘The Serpentine Ritual’, which finds the band unleashing 11 tracks of straight-up metal that is both modern and classic while retaining the legacy of their past bands.
Commented Steven: “After the demise of Imagika, Wayne and I decided to form a new band that would bring life to the music we had been working on after Imagika called it a day. We had a goal in mind of writing music that reflected our influences from Thrash, to Classic, Progressive, Power, whatever-kicks-ass Metal and this required bringing in experienced players that have been there and done that. We were lucky enough to come in contact with Roberto and Danyael, who had the kind of pedigree and experience we were definitely looking for. Having both been in bands that have released numerous albums worldwide and toured extensively, they are a perfect fit for this new band. The missing element was, of course, vocalist Josh, who came into the band with the work ethic, experience and attitude that is essential as a vocalist to help the songs take on a life of their own. His unique and identifiable vocal style is the change we needed from our past projects as we definitely had the idea of Kill Ritual taking a new direction from our collective past bands and I think we have achieved that. I mean, what's the point of rehashing what you've already done? I feel the four rough demo tracks we have released show this and are only a hint of what's to come.” SELLING POINTS:

FEN Debut New Video for First Single, "A Long Line," from the Album that Power of Metal.com Gave a Perfect 10/10
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Strutter 'Zine has called it "Stunning." The Power of Metal gave it a perfect "10/10." Hard n' Heavy Webzine hailt it "Spectacular."
Of Losing Interest is tearing through the charts and leaving the critics and fans alike with slack-jawed amazement.
Now, Vancouver's alternative prog-meisters, FEN, have partnered up with The Ripple Effect for an exclusive preview of the bands new video, "A Long Line."
Following up on 2010’s breakout album, Trails Out of Gloom, the band return to their heavier roots with the brand new album, Of Losing Interest! Once again recorded at Creativ Studios with longtime producer, Mike Southworth at the helm, the band have crafted themselves an album that perfectly balances the technical virtuosity of heavy metal with the more down to earth tones of the early 90’s alternative rock movement. Of Losing Interest is available through Nail Distribution in North America, Code 7 in the UK, and Clearspot International in Europe.
Fen will be hitting the road to begin support Of Losing Interest in September:
Sept 21st: Kamloops, BC - The Dirty Jersey Sept 22nd: Salmon Arm, BC - Hideaway Pub Sept 25th: Calgary, AB - Vern's Bar Sept 28th: Prince George, BC - Riley's Pub Sept 29th: Dawson Creek, BC - Rockwell's
Here’s what the press has to say:
“Fen combine more traditional prog passages with heavy riffs creating a unique sound. The band certainly know the way around their respective instruments and have the talent to pull off the complex passages.” -- Get Ready To Rock!
“Certainly, Of Losing Interestis different than its predecessor, but not entirely unexpected from Fen. Being heavier rock, even metal, the album still offers the listener their darker side. Recommended. 4 / 5” -- Dangerdog
“Now they are back with a stunning new album titled ‘Of losing interest’, which musically goes into a very high quality Progressive Rock/Metal direction. It is especially thanks to the superb vocalwork of singer DOUG HARRISON that FEN’s music is lifted way above other bands in this extensive genre called Prog. 8.6/10 ” -- Strutter ‘zine
So who is this guy ??? the artist… David J Caron???, you may wonder and what is his biography in relation to his musical work.. Well if you really wanna know, he’s an Irish/Italian musician, who grew up in England, now living in Ireland.. his main instrument is the guitar but what he is first and foremost as an artist, is a composer, writer, and producer…But more than this he is an exclusive inventor of unique and innovative, melodic, powerful meaningfulmRock music that exists on a new wavelength and approach, steering away from the mainstream you’ve heard before,. Words used to describe his music have been hard to find, when it does not slot into any one known genre precisely.. “Epic” and “different” have been suggested by some,, whether rightly or wrongly…
Heavy Guitar driven compositions, an intricately designed and arranged mix of power rhythms and single note riffs,sometimes interlaced with secondary underlying melodic patterns of guitar and/or syncopated arpeggio bubbles of complementing synth sounds, powerful and driving yet often unobvious bass-lines. Guitar solos are a purposeful and memorably tuneful inclusion when needed, designed to be as much an equal part of the track as all else in it, and not just an interval from the song in order to include the ever-present commonplace Rock song necessity. Drum patterns deliberately both misleadingly simple in places as well as perplexingly elaborate in others, all designed as a canvas on which to paint intelligent, thought-provoking and meaningful lyrics, with clarity of voice, although with enigmatic ambiguity of puzzling verse, absence of the obvious stereo-typically expected over-used Rock clichés, delivering in harmony, melodic melodies to catch both the intrigue of the mind and the pleasing of the ear, somehow uplifting with unclear disguise, satisfying the required qualifications for not only fans of Rock Music, but music itself.
He has just released his debut album, which he had been recording for 18 months, a length of time due mainly to the fact that it contains 28 tracks, unheard of for a debut album, but no track of which he felt he could leave off the album, though still priced as a single album. A backlog of songs and themes some of which originated many years previous that he felt he had to finally unveil and unleash to the world, in order to free himself for the next build up of ideas waiting to be born from the cauldron of his incessantly prolific particular mind..
So..what if there is no biography as such of any relevance?. What if it just starts here and now?. Well here and now his universe does burst into life.. with an almighty bang.. A biography is a detailed description or account of someone's life which presents the subject's life story, David J Caron has condensed and bared his story, his soul, his demons and fantasies, his observations, his belief and essence of character, for all to see and hear, with a deep reaching integrity and unexampled style, in the way he does best, in his music and in his words, letting the result speak for itself without the ever-present bullshit that many others feel they need to opt for to embellish and mask their music with.
Open your ears and open your mind, see what you hear, you won’t forget what you find..This is Different..
Here he is…this is only the beginning of what he can do.. ..the 1st chapter.. either you like it or either you don’t.. what else truly matters..? for now…
The Port Orchard trio is back with Nomads, their first album of new material in over five years, and they're showing why there has never been a decrease in love for this band while they've been away! Nomads is a 9 track heavy rock offering that highlights the bands trademark sound of crushing heaviness and elegant melody, with a few quasi-psychedelic surprises along the way.
IT'S A MAN'S WORLD Here's a commercial you'll want to check out. Dave's version of James Brown's "It's a Man's World" (from Meniketti's "On The Blue Side" CD) was selected for the ad campaign for NBC's new daytime chat show "Trisha." The UK's "Queen of Chat," Trisha Goddard comes to America in September. The ads, featuring Dave's version of the tune, run for 20 weeks so if you watch the NBC network, you might catch one of the spots.
LIVE ON iTUNES Due to an unfortunate technological glitch on the side of our digital distributor and iTunes, the digital version of Y&T's new "Live at the Mystic" release was held up from iTunes for six weeks. We're happy to announce that the glitch has been remedied--iTunes is now carrying all the tracks, just as many e-tailers have since the July release. Surely much to the dismay of iTunes and digital retailers the world over, that glitch marks the first time we've experienced the physical CD beating digital to the market. Ain't technology grand?
