• Prepare For A Cosmic Thrash Alien Invasion with Crüzer's New Lyric Video "Look to the Skies"

  Jun 20, 2025 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

   

   

  Unleashing their debut EP "Look to the Skies" this past April, Crüzer is not just a band—they are a cosmic metal assault from the Great White North. Hailing from Vancouver, BC, Canada, their sound is as unstoppable as an alien invasion force, tearing through the atmosphere with electrifying solos and unforgettable hooks.

  In the lead up to their upcoming local show dates on June 27th at The Astoria and July 26th at The Kingsway (details below), Crüzer is unveiling the lyric video for their EP's title track.

  "The title track, Look to the Skies, deals with the threat of an extraterrestrial invasion force, and the attempts of the world powers to stop it (or maybe they know more than they’re letting on…). The chorus hook on this song might be my favourite of the whole album, love how it just comes in out of nowhere after a whole verse and pre-chorus of harsh blackened thrash vocals," adds vocalist Eric Wilmott.

  ​

  Featuring five tracks of raging, rip-roaring, intergalactic speed metal, with a multitude of different flavours catered to the tastes of every thrasher, but with a melodic and humorous twist. Crüzer's latest EP, "Look to the Skies", will have metalheads headbanging to the power of the riff and celebrating the bizarre and otherworldly wonders of the universe.

  "I believe this EP will be well received by any thrasher who enjoys a touch of melody with their mosh fodder. While in the studio, we ensured that these songs were polished and perfected, with a good dose of melody and catchiness infused into the madness. We aim to provide a thrash buffet of sorts, a smorgasbord filled with various flavours of speed, melody, and attitude. Tracks like 'Pit Vyper' have some serious hair metal vibes, and it is preceded on the record by '(I Need) Thrash', a Slayer-esque song! EARTHLINGS!!! Crank it to 11, and prepare for an out-of-this-world heavy metal experience. Your alien overlords are excited to unveil our latest slice of interplanetary propaganda, LOOK TO THE SKIES!" says Willmott.

  "Look to the Skies" is recommended for fans of all things thrash, such as Havok, Exodus (Zetro era), Destruction, Metallica (Ride the Lightning era), Exciter, and 80s Judas Priest.

  The EP is streaming on all digital platforms as of April 4, 2025. Crüzer plans to unleash the 5-track record on CD, with the release date to be determined. CD pre-order will be available from the band via their Bandcamp at https://cruzermuzik.bandcamp.com.

• INFRARED Take You Back To The Glory Days Of Thrash With New Album “Manifestation”

  Sep 6, 2024 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

   

  ​Ottawa, Canada’s Infrared proudly presents their new music video "Manifest Nation" for their latest album “Manifestation” set to release on September 6, 2024. As purveyors of classic thrash metal, Infrared’s roots run deep, having first gained acclaim in the 80s with their hit “Thoughts Caught (in Between)”. Since then, they have released 3 albums and two EPs with Manifestation as the fourth full-length album. They share their excitement:

  “With life as busy as it is and some life challenges plaguing the band, the release has been delayed a few times. This is the longest we have sat on a finished album. With determination, we ramped up and filmed four videos and did all it takes to put together what the fans want, new classic thrash metal with a modern feel.”

  The single “Manifest Nation” rips and grooves all the way through while singing about a society losing itself and its way. They try to manifest a better life, but with all the technological distractions, they never achieve their goal.

  With the album “Manifestation”, Infrared has taken inventory and assessed its back catalog, and looked to see what it could improve on. The result is straight-to-the-point songs that are high in energy and aggression all while staying true to the classic thrash sound. This barn burner of an album is recommended for fans of Exciter, Sacrifice, and Razor.

  Due out September 6, 2024, “Manifestation” is available for order at https://infraredmetal.bandcamp.com​​

• EXCITER at LPRNYC 05/26/22

  May 31, 2022 ArmyOfOneTV 0 Comments

  There are a few things i can say about have experienced Exciter the other night.

  I guess the one that impressed me the most was their sound. It sounds as raw and pure as when they started. Unbelievable unaltered. 

  Drummer singer. That makes the band a unique deal, he ends a roll and with one hand fixes the mic stand giving that pause to the beat that creates the 80’s motion: Incredible… i don’t believe he designed it that way, it was more like the need to fix the mic stand to continue and that created the effect.

  Guitar player, The younger member of the band brings that infusion of energy that we are used to see on stage now days plus he plays accordingly to the band makes him

  perfect for it.

  Bass player, Solid AF. I mean for the first songs he was playing but it didn’t sound … they were only three people on stage.. where was his sound… until sound guy fixed mic out of the amp and boom… there he was.. huge solid impecable. It was his birthday so he was having a great time accompanied with his friend Jack D.

  Phil Demmel of Vio-lence went on stage to play a couple of songs. He explained to the crowed why he loved the band. That sounded awesome too.

  Loved the band as always have. Comeback please.
