    About: Since 2009 (minus pause years 2020 and 2021 due to the Covid pandemic), West Metal Entertainment and Armstrong Metalfest have not only fostered the talent of hundreds of local bands, but have imported well-known, international acts to the quiet, little Canadian town of Armstrong, British Columbia.

    Each year hundreds of metal music fans from Canada and the USA descend into the picturesque Okanagan Valley and under the blistering sun, they spend three days camping, taking in a tonne of heavy metal fun over two days, spectating wrestling events, participating in scavenger hunts, and catching up with their extended metal family.

    The festival has seen such renowned headliners as Kataklysm, Cattle Decapitation, Archspire, Nekrogoblikon, Origin, Rivers of Nihil, Warbinger, Fallujah, Striker, and Beyond Creation as well as emerging artists from across North America. At the end of the revelry, the festival disappears without a trace, leaving the landscape as pristine as it has always been.

    West Metal Entertainment is a non-profit society that not only puts on the Armstrong Metal Festival every year in Armstrong, B.C. but also gives bands opportunities to play at different venues throughout the region including all-ages shows, to encourage musical passion in kids as well as adults.

  • Mallorca Doom HELEVORN Announces "25 Years - Rooted Into Loss Tour"

    Mallorca Doom HELEVORN Announces "25 Years - Rooted Into Loss Tour"

    Fifth Studio Album "Espectres" Out Now!

    Mallorca, Spain's renowned doom metal band Helevorn announces the "25 Years - Rooted Into Loss Tour" to celebrate their quarter of a century performing and recording doom metal since their conception in 1999. This landmark tour beginning in January 2025 will witness Helevorn sharing many fan-favorite songs from their gloomy, gothic doom catalog and supporting their fifth studio album, “Espectres” released this past September (Tour dates are listed below; more will be announced).

    Helevorn - 25 Years - Rooted Into Loss Tour
    Jan 25 - Kanya a Santa Climent Fest - Casal de Cultura de Sant Climent - Barcelona, Spain
    Jan 31 - Utopia - Zaragoza, Spain
    Feb 1 - Itaca - Torrelavega, Spain
    Feb 28 - Sala X - Sevilla, Spain
    March 1 - Roka Rock Voodo - Malaga, Spain

    Following significant line-up changes over the past three years, Helevorn has emerged stronger and more creative than ever with their new album "Espectres". The band enlisted the talents of Sebastià Barceló (Trallery) for drum recordings, adding a new dynamic to their sound. This album represents a slight departure from Helevorn's previous work, with new guitarist Alex composing 60% of the material. Fans can expect the familiar atmospheric and emotional depth Helevorn is known for, but with a rawer, more technical edge. The band shares the details behind the album:

    “This album is based on Hauntology, described first by Jaques Derrida and after by the philosopher Mark Fisher. He wrote “The Ghosts of My Life”, an amazing book where he describes the ‘slow cancellation of future’, and a lot of great concepts about the specters and the absences. How they make us what we really are. Is a fantastic concept to write a Doom Metal album isn't it?”

    While still rooted in their self-coined “Mediterranean Doom” style, this album leans more heavily into pure doom and metal elements. The band promises a less epic, less folk-influenced sound, focusing instead on the core essence of doom metal. Helevorn thinks it can be an intense experience for those who want to connect something very emotional and very philosophic with dark and gloomy music.

    Those with an interest in Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride, and Draconian, will appreciate the art that Helevorn is creating.

    “Espectres” was released on September 13, 2024, from Meuse Music Records and is available for album order (Vinyl/CD) at http://www.helevorn.com/shop | Helevornofficial.bandcamp.com

  • THIRTEEN GOATS Announces Vancouver Island Tour Dates w/ OPAL IN SKY, NAMELESS KING + New Album “Capricorn Rising” Out Now!

    NEWS RELEASE

    THIRTEEN GOATS Announces Vancouver Island Tour Dates w/ OPAL IN SKY, NAMELESS KING

    New Album “Capricorn Rising” Out Now! via Exitus Strategem Records

    "It's really strong. GREAT musicians, great production, as well as a very progressive aspect without losing the darkness." - Kelly Schaefer, Atheist

    Vancouver, Canada’s Thirteen Goats will be storming Vancouver Island, BC in March 2025 for the "Tour of The Black Flame" supporting OPAL IN SKY alongside NAMELESS KING (dates listed below). Thirteen Goats is performing in support of their second album—the extreme metal rock opera “Capricorn Rising” unleashed on Exitus Stratagem Records this past July.

    Tour of The Black Flame w/ Opal In Sky, Nameless King, Thirteen Goats
    Tickets available at - https://orangetickets.ca/
    March 20 - Nanaimo, BC - The Globe
    March 21 - Victoria, BC - Phoenix Bar
    March 22 - Port Alberni, BC - Rainbow Room
    March 23 - Cumberland, BC - Masonic Hall

    Thirteen Goats's "Capricorn Rising," tells the story of their mascot, Shepherd: a goat-skull-wearing Antichrist who raises an army of animals to liberate the earth from humanity’s constant wars and greed. This high-concept narrative is delivered with Thirteen Goats' signature blend of infernal riffs, huge hooks, and uniquely theatrical songwriting.

    Each song on the album is part of a broader narrative that explores themes of disillusionment, radicalization, and rebellion as Shepherd and his 12 demon goats wage their crusade. Thirteen Goats delivers a unique blend of death and thrash metal, combined with a storytelling approach that takes listeners on a journey through the darkest aspects of both human and animal nature.

    Listeners can expect furious riffage, ambitious song structures, and even occasional female guest vocals (courtesy of guest artist Carly Ellen Jones). What they shouldn’t expect is a record that plays it safe or falls neatly into one specific subgenre. Thirteen Goats is recommended for fans of Lamb of God, Carcass, and Mastodon.

    Released on July 12, 2024, “Capricorn Rising” is available from Exitus Stratagem Records at https://www.exsrmusic.com/store/p/pre-sale-thirteen-goats-capricorn-rising

    Spotify - https://spoti.fi/41hkue1​

    Track Listing:
    1. Sign of the Goat (4:53)
    2. Murder Lives in the Heart (5:30)
    3. A Wolf in Shepherd’s Clothing (4:10)
    4. Global Fuckup (3:57)
    5. Beheading Zoo (3:44)
    6. Permission to Die (3:48)
    7. Beating the Disease (4:24)
    8. Goats of War (5:25)
    9. Animal Kingdom (6:19)
