  • Ecuador's ANIMA INSIDE New Video "Through The Glass" Off Upcoming Album "Alien"

     

    Ecuadar's Anima Inside, unveils "Through The Glass", a compelling new single accompanied by a striking official music video, further amplifying the song’s intense emotional depth. As one of the most powerful tracks from their upcoming album "Alien", the song showcases the band’s signature blend of modern rock, progressive elements, and rich melodic textures.

    With razor-sharp riffs, a dynamic rhythm section, and soaring vocals, "Through The Glass" takes listeners on a profound journey of perception and self-reflection. The song questions reality—do we truly see what’s on the other side or just a distorted version of the truth? This duality is mirrored in the cinematic music video, which visually brings to life the track’s themes of introspection and uncertainty.

    Renowned for their ability to fuse progressive rock, alternative influences, and Latin musical roots, Anima Inside once again delivers a track that is both immediate and deeply layered. Fans of Muse, Pink Floyd, and Disturbed will find themselves drawn to its evocative storytelling, soaring melodies, and immersive instrumental work.

    With meticulous production and a striking visual narrative, "Through The Glass" is a powerful statement, reinforcing Anima Inside’s status as one of South America’s most compelling rock acts.

    Formed in early 2019, Red Deer, AB's Art Of Attrition is a band that redevelops "the typical" deathcore sound by delivering aggression with melody, atmosphere with intricacy, and brutality with technicality. Combining ferocious work ethic with refined musicality, their songs challenge the notion that deathcore cannot evolve or be unique.

    In July 2024, they unleashed their EP “...And It Will All End Forever” to follow their 2023 debut album "Void Eternal". As a whole, their latest EP brought listeners disgusting breakdowns, matched by speed and intense guitar work that channeled emotions such as anger and anxiety. Hauntingly memorable solos gave way to epic choruses that share relatable moments. A whirlwind of deathcore it's matched with classic black metal, and capitalized with bits of groove and creative drum parts.

    On February, 14th, 2025Art of Attrition will unshackle their first single of 2025, entitled "Subserviate & Decay". The new song is an experimentation of some particular ideas that the band has over the years. With such diverse musical tastes, Art of Attrition is bringing some evolutionary ideas into their material for a new world order to “throw down”.​

  • Toronto Prog JUPITER HOLLOW Announces Ontario Dates + New Single / Video "Incivility"

    NEWS RELEASE

    Montreal, QC - February 5, 2025

    Toronto Prog JUPITER HOLLOW Announces Ontario Dates + New Single / Video "Incivility"

    L-R - Nathaniel Reynolds-Welsh - Drums - Grant MacKenzie - Guitar, Kenny Parry - Vocals, John-Ryan Godfrey - Bass

    Toronto proggers Jupiter Hollow announces they will perform two Ontario show dates for March and April with more to be announced in the coming year (listed below). The band has been expanding their catalog with their latest single and music video "Incivility" (watch below) released this past November as they make progress on more music to be released in the coming months.

    Upcoming Shows:
    March 29 – Guelph @ Red Papaya - info - w/ Derev, Crown For A King, +1 TBA
    April 12 – Brantford @ Brandi’s - info w/ Derev, +2 TBA

    Pushing from one horizon onto the next, Jupiter Hollow's growth has come a long way since making their debut as a duo in 2015. Led by the fearless Grant MacKenzie and Kenny Parry, this recording and songwriting powerhouse duo has transformed into a live quartet with the addition of John Ryan Godfrey (Bass) and Nathaniel Reynolds-Welsh (Drums).

    Advancing their unique brand of progressive rock/metal, the band's latest single "Incivility" serves as a bold statement, reflecting Jupiter Hollow’s evolution both sonically and thematically. With its intricate arrangements, evocative lyrics, and captivating visuals, the single is a testament to the band’s relentless dedication to pushing artistic boundaries.

    The band comments on the single:

    "At its core, Incivility reflects humanity's inner struggles, the relentless pursuit of purpose, and the emotional void created by modern distractions. The lyrics delve into themes of arrogance, wasted time, and the consequences of superficial existence, symbolized by "filming your bones"—a critique of documenting life rather than living it.

    The song wrestles with the tension between ambition and the emptiness of unmet expectations, asking hard questions: At what cost do we chase our dreams? and How do we reconcile purpose with the pressures we hide? The recurring imagery of the "yawning cage of wasted love" evokes a profound sense of entrapment, urging listeners to confront the emotional weight of past mistakes while seeking true fulfillment.

    Musically and lyrically, Incivility challenges listeners to reflect on their lives, embracing the discomfort of self-awareness while pushing forward with resilience. It’s both a cautionary tale and a call to action—demanding authenticity in a world that often values the opposite."

    Recommended for fans of Porcupine Tree, Coheed, and Cambria, Rush, and Protest The Hero.

    With thought-provoking lyrics, unique vocal melodies, harmonies, powerful guitar riffs, unyielded songwriting, and Jupiter Hollow’s incessant desire to bring fans on a journey, there’s always something new to explore. Thus far they have two full-length albums under their belts: 2020’s “Bereavement”, and 2018’s “AHDOMN”, and they have another one in the works. Planning to release more singles over the coming months, Jupiter Hollow will take the time to ensure a polished, impressive offerings song by song. The band wants nothing more than to make their art and share the experience with as many people as they can.

    ============

    Quiescent Mantis' debut album “Here Comes The Swarm” was produced by Yanic Bercier (Quo Vadis, Gone In April) at WaveTransform Recording Studio and unleashed in July 2024 on Exitus Stratagem Records. The genre-defying release blends elements of hardcore, thrash, death, and metalcore into a whirlwind of relentless aggression.

    Formed during the tumultuous COVID-19 lockdown, Quiescent Mantis emerged from the fusion of former scientists Chris Trainor, Jordan McKenzie, and Johnny Mejia. Previously employed by the enigmatic Sub-atomic Weight Of Acceleration Research Mechanics (S.W.A.R.M.), the trio embarked on a musical journey after inadvertently opening a doorway to the mantis homeworld during a particle collision experiment, exposing themselves to a mind-altering pheromone. Thus, the Chapter 1 demo was born in 2021.

    Inspired by a love for old science fiction movies and thrash metal, Quiescent Mantis presents a unique, aggressive, groovy, heavy, and relentless sound that blends old-school metal techniques with new-school innovations. The band aims to provide listeners with a groundbreaking experience, combining elements of classic and contemporary metal in a manner never before heard. They are recommended for fans of Orbit Culture, Havok, and Power Trip.

    “With this album, it truly shows not only how we come together as musicians but as storytellers. This album is all the best elements of thrash metal and science fiction horror movies put into one single package. ‘Here Comes The Swarm’ is the sound we created to release the swarm to the world.”

    Album order for “Here Comes The Swarm” are available at https://www.exsrmusic.com/store/p/pre-sale-quiescent-mantis-here-come-the-swarm

    Jordan Mckenzie - Bass and Vocals
