NINJASPY Announce New Album ‘Spüken’ + New Video ‘Speak’

Leave a comment

For Fans of Twelve Foot Ninja, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Mike Patton, RHCP, Gojira, Devin Townsend Project, Skindred

Reggae Metal Fusion NINJASPY Announce New Album ‘Spüken’ + New Video ‘Speak’

‘Spüken’ produced by Garth Richardson (Kittie, RATM, Mudvayne, The Melvins)

NINJASPY, a trio of blood brothers have been experimenting with metal fusion since 2006. Hard, heavy, hook-laden music that runs the gamut of reggae, surf, metal and more make up the band’s rule-breaking formula for notoriety. All this combined with an explosive and powerfully unhinged live show got NINJASPY off the ground in a hurry. Releasing their 2007 debut ‘Pi Nature’ and their 2013 EP ‘No Kata’ with a graphic novel, the band of brothers have teamed up once again with prolific producers GGGarth Richardson (Rage Against the Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Mudvayne, Gallows) and Ben Kaplan (Biffy Clyro, Atreyu, Haste the Day) for their next full length ‘Spüken’ due out April 14, 2017.

Years in the making since spring 2014 when NINJASPY launched the “Jump Ya Bones” and crowd funding Campaign, the band was able to raise $15,000 to fund the new full length. They began recording in November 2014, taking their culmination of nearly a decade of songs and narrowing them down to an epic 10 track experience to demonstrate all their downbeats to breakdowns to their weaving of reggae, hardcore, metal and much more.

“These 10 songs span a decade, so there are a lot of different feels happening from song to song that represent what we got into over the years. It’s like we spent 10 years swallowing everything life threw at us, then we threw it all back up again, and are now able to listen to the blended, half-digested version of it.” says vocalist / guitarist Joel Parent.

‘Spüken’ was recorded and mixed sporadically over the next two years at in Vancouver BC and in the spring of 2016 between recording sessions, the band teased fans with a filmed and recorded live acoustic performance of their track ‘Azaria’, a song that is included with full metal instrumentation on the new genre-bending album. It showed the true diversity of the band and their ability to take manic and intense music and make it tender and raw.

The band’s first full single / music video ‘Speak’ can be watched at the following link below and can be downloaded from their online store, iTunes, CD Baby and Bandcamp.

Music Video – Speak –

Show Dates:
March 18 – Vancouver, BC @ Rickshaw Theatre –  (The Dreadnoughts 10 Year Double-Show PunkSTRAVAGANZA)
July 14/15 – Armstrong, BC @ Armstrong Metal Fest w/ Revocation, Aggression, Golers and more –

UNLEASH THE ARCHERS Unveil Details Of Upcoming Album!

Leave a comment

sssd.jpg

It has now been 10 years of UNLEASH THE ARCHERS! These heavy metal heroes are celebrating this honor with an exhilarating feast on their upcoming album entitled Apex – out on June 2nd 2017 via Napalm Records!

Channeling the fiery brilliance of shooting stars, there is immense beauty on Apex, and it clutches you with a fervor that lingers well beyond the last cymbal decay.

 

The band states:
“We are extremely excited to release another full on concept album; it’s just so much fun to play out a story when you’re up on stage.  This one has a protagonist that we call ‘The Immortal’ being forced to serve the antagonist, a.k.a. ‘The Matriarch’ as she embarks down a very dark path to achieve immortality.  We had a great time writing this record, and I think the cohesiveness of the story has really shone through in the music as well.  It has a certain vibe throughout, from beginning to end, and we can’t wait to hear what our fans have to say about the direction this album has taken.  We don’t like to write the same record over and over again and we are very happy with the progression of our sound on Apex.  We think it will appeal to all of our fans old and new; it has the best parts of our past albums combined into one with just a little more spit and polish  ;)“

 

 

Ken Sarafin created the picturesque album artwork for Apex. This album takes nerves of steel; from its opener “Awakening” to the title track that closes the album, the listener will partake in a furious adventure, weaving through elements of the strongest metal genres of our time. You’ll be guided by the shimmering heat of sweeping lead guitars, face-melting solos, deafening growls, pummeling bass lines and of course the thrilling hooks of Brittney Slayes’ queen-size voice.

Check out full track listing below:
1    Awakening
2    Shadow Guide
3    The Matriarch
4    Cleanse The Bloodlines
5    The Coward’s Way
6    False Walls
7    Ten Thousand Against One
8    Earth And Ashes
9    Call Me Immortal
10    Apex

Through swift melodies and a flair for the dramatic, UNLEASH THE ARCHERS newest release compels you to chant with fists raised high in the air “All hail heavy metal!” Stay tuned for more exciting news to come!

Line-up:
Brittney Slayes – Vocals
Scott Buchanan – Drums
