About BML:

Black Mourning Light Metal Festival is the black metal and doom festival founded by Dustin Ekman of Crown of Viserys.

The 2017 onslaught will feature bands from across Canada and USA. Those that attended the 2015 inaugural ritual and the 2016 two day mayhem will not be disappointed by 2017, as they can expect a different while similar experience to those events.

Leave a comment

CEMR MetalFest presented by Canada’s Extreme Metal Radio is now taking band applications to participate in their 2018 edition being held from May 4th to 6th at The Forge in Edmonton, AB. For the last two years, CEMR MetalFest has been hosting and showcasing some of Western Canada’s most talked about underground and independent metal bands such as Planet Eater, Display of Decay, Terrifier, WMD, Train Bugger Monkeys, Anarcheon, Van Halst and Vile Insignia to name a few.

Festival organizer and Canada’s Extreme Metal Radio station owner Chris Coutts comments:

“CEMR was developed on the idea of supporting Canadian metal and we have been doing so via our online station, that being said, organizing a fest to showcase bands that should be on people’s radar seem perfectly fitting.”

Bands interested in performing at the 2018 CEMR MetalFest, please visit the following link:

Kent Alt-Hardcore Band COVE Unveil New Video SOLIS

Leave a comment

Kent’s COVE​ mark their return by unleashing blistering new video SOLIS​ on an unsuspecting world. The track brims with energy and ear for detail, cementing the band as masters of cacophony who are set to make one hell of a dent in British heavy music.

“The meaning of the song Solis is subjective to the listener, everyone in the band helped contribute to it and in a way we all have our own definition of what the song is about. To some it may hint at the idea of when one door closes another opens and to someone else it may point at something far more emotive, the loss of a loved one for example. We feel song values are compromised when the outright meaning is spelled out too easily, it’s like telling someone the end of a film before they’ve watched it. Our way of thinking is that the meaning is personal to the individual/individuals listening at that moment in time. We believe this gives the audience a way to have their own personal connection with a song and not be persuaded into what they should take from it”

Recorded by Tom Keech (We Are The Ocean, Don Broco) in the midst of British winter at a studio that was undergoing construction, the icy and derelict surroundings helped to spawn the creation of SOLIS​. Having spent much of 2017 crafting new music, the track ​is a taster of things to come from COVE​. Comprising of vocalist Ben Shorten, bassist Charlie Smith, drummer Jack Bowdery and guitarists Ben Brazier & Pete Woolven, COVE released their debut effort We Were Once Lost in October of 2016. Widespread praise for the record fuelled a hefty touring schedule, including shows with Blood Youth, Create To Inspire and Holding Absence.

The band will also hit the road at the end of this month throughout August, with two date supporting Holding Absence:
 
7th Jul – The Ex, Corby
26th Jul – Black Heart, London
4th Aug – Forum, Tunbridge Wells (w/ Holding Absence)
5th Aug – The Booking Hall, Dover (w/ Holding Absence)
9th Aug – Sticky Mike’s, Brighton
10th Aug – Subside, Birmingham
11th Aug – O’RIleys, Hull
12th Aug – The Garage Attic, Glasgow
13th Aug – Santiagos, Leeds
1st Oct – Deadbolt Festival, Manchester
