Dunno about Montréal itself, but there are definitely a lot of metal bands in Québec I like, so this makes sense. Though I'm honestly more a fan of métal noir québécois (both the style and the album) than its Death Metal.
Thanks for posting about them. I wouldn't have heard about them otherwise!
Michiel Eikenaar—vocalist of Dutch black metal bands Nihill and Dodecahedron—has died, label Seasons of Mist announced today and Eikenaar's bandmate Vincent Koreman confirms to Pitchfork. The cause of death was cancer, Koreman tells Pitchfork. He was 42. "Death comes for all of us," Koreman wrote in a statement. "It comes for the strongest, the brightest and the most loved, and Michiel was all of those things and much more."
This is awesome. Fans of old Ion Dissonance stuff will like this.
Yeah those examples are really awful lol."In Montreal, we have Cryptopsy and Cataclysm and Despised Icon and all sorts of bands that have really shone internationally."
Nothing says "excellence" quite like Despised Icon and what Cryptopsy and Kataklysm turned into...
Currently only Metallica in August and Destroyer 666 in OctoberWhat shows/concerts do you have coming up soon? Any big festival planned? I've been so busy I cannot make the time to go lately
New Gloryhammer single is great.
Also I see that Iced Earth finally have Framing Armageddon and The Glorious Burden up on Spotify.
so jealous you get to see Avatar. Dudes are great liveI'm going to be honest I miss Ripper Owens on Iced Earth vocals. Glorious Burden was my introduction to Iced Earth and between him and Barlow, I never warmed up to Stu Block. I know Iced Earth has a lot of problematic oo-rah elements but Burnt Offereings/ Dark Saga are some of my favorite albums.
This summer I have
- Avatar / Devin Townsend Acoustic
- Slayer / Amon Amarth
Ozzy / MegadethI hope the makeup show still has Megadeth or an equivalent opener- Iron Maiden
- Slipnkot / Gojira
- Demons & Wizards / Tyr
I'm super pumped to see Demons & Wizards since I doubt I'll ever see Iced Earth OR Blind Guardian live given their touring schedules/locations. Having seen Iron Maiden twice live already I'm less excited for them. Especially since it seems like Bruce's vocals don't hold up live (despite the rest of the band sounding record perfect).

New Lurid Panacea full length
Hyperblasting goregrinding death
FFO old Cryptopsy
This is a fantastic doom metal track from a band you would absolutely not expect to put out doom
animosity was also a great deathcore band and I personally enjoyed their work more than DI (though I liked DI too). I wish I got to see both bands more than twice before they broke up :OBoth Book of Suffering EPs kick major ass and Despised Icon is one of the only great deathcore bands fight me
Any Arch Echo fans here? They just released this single:
So good!
Man, I can't believe how much I've come around to liking Unsung Prophets & Dead Messiahs (Orphaned Land)
I didn't care for it at all when it came out but now I can't stop listening to it everyday for a few months now
I still think Mabool and ORwarriOR are absolute masterpieces in their own league but this album is fucking great.
'Only the Dead Have Seen the End of War' is my jam.

Usually for a full week, until just before the album officially releasesOh nice. How long do these first listens usually stay up for? I'd rather listen in the proper setting and state of mind.

Fans of Japanese Melodic Death Metal should check out Devil Within. Female fronted melodeath with a lineup of members from my favorite groups.
I cannot stop listening to the new Inferi album (actually a rerecording of an old album with their current lineup):
If you're a tech-death or melodeath fan then you gotta listen to this! Great bass tone too!
Yo this album is totally sick. Love the bass tone. Thanks for the heads up!
Yay! Glad more people gave it a listen.
Also the new/old Inferi album is great. It's a lot to unpack, much like the previous one, but it's incredibly brutal and creative.
I imagine you've already listened to Shadow of Intent? If not, "Reclaimer" is one of my favorite albums of all time, I think.
Also, I think Allegaeon's newest album should be up tomorrow.
How have I been missing out on Enforcer for so long? I bought From Beyond on Monday and have been jamming it everyday this week!
I'll have to recheck out Inferi. Sure I checked them out before and never clicked.
Very excited to listen to the new Allegaeon.
Hell yeah, Enforcer rock.
Glad there's a kindred spirit on here! My girlfriend says Arch Echo reminds her of a magic show or whatever that means lmao. Needless to say she isn't into them. :PHoly shit. Thanks! Can't wait for their upcoming album.
