SaaR is first and foremost a human project without any limitation of the mind, a will to express themselves as any musician should : an absolute freedom of expression. The will to go on without a singer imposed itself because the arrangements of the songs didn’t need any.
.
Somewhere between instrumental post-rock, atmospheric metal and experimental noise music,
SaaR released a 3-tracks EP in January 2011 before to play its first gigs. One year later, the band recorded a first full-length effort as a single one-track album divided in 4 parts and unleashed right now for digital before a physical edition expected in the next weeks/months.
.
.
From now, “The last days”, is available right now for digital and full streaming on
Bandcamp.

Active since 2005, thisquietarmy is the experimental guitar-based brainchild of Eric Quach from Montreal, Canada (also involed in Destroyalldreamers, Ghidrah, Mains de Givre, Parallel Lines…). Revolving around improvised guitar-based drone music, he takes his sonic experimentation further by adding textural and structural elements of industrial, shoegaze, krautrock, post-rock, black and doom metal to them. The results can be described as dark, melodic, expansive and engaging dreamscapes. His live performances are mostly presented as a real-time score to hypnotic ethereal visuals, which he creates himself for each show.
Under the moniker of
thisquietarmy, Eric Q has released full-length albums on Denovali Records (Germany), Aurora Borealis (UK) or Foreshadow (Poland) as well as several collaborative/split albums, EPs, 7″s & tapes with Aidan Baker from Nadja, Monarch!, Scott Cortez (Lovesliescrushing) or Year Of No Light, on various labels as Alien8 Recordings (Canada), ConSouling Sounds, Destructure Records (France) as well as his own imprint TQA Records.
…
Formed in in 2003 by friends who sought to materialize their various musical and personal influences through instrumental composition,
Labirinto (“labyrinth” in portuguese) seeks to create textures and environments full of imagery, as in a movie soundtrack, in which the scenes are on account of the listener’s imagination.
.
Their musical references travels through many different styles, from ambient music, to metal, from progressive to drone, resulting in a rich mixture so deeply inspiring, and intense melodies along several passages that can be found on each track.In 10 years,
Labrinto has released several EPs : “Pseudo Segurança Compensatória” (2005), “Cinza” (2006), “Labirinto” (2007), “Etéreo” (2009) and “Kadjwynh” + an acclamaid full-length album on 2010 (“Anatema”).

Doom is (still) upon you
.
Released at the end of 2012 on digital and in February for physical, “Vilagvege” first LP pressing by
Rorcal is about to be sold-out. So the album will be repressed with a new artwork in June through the band’s own imprint
Cal of Ror Records (Lilium Sova),
Halo of Flies Records (Alpinist, Lightbearer) and
Lost Pilgrims Records (Cortez, Hourvari, Verdun…)
.
“With “VILAGVEGE”,
Rorcal lift up their black hoods and reveal their darkest facet. Imagine the biggest tragedy that could fall upon us and multiply it by 1000, still… you wouldn’t get close to what “VILAGVEGE” sounds like. If this is the evilest face of Rorcal, man, i’m going back to their older stuff in order to find some peace… really. You have no idea what to expect here. Simply, one of the best and most anticipated releases for this year. May we all go down in flames at the sound of “VILAGVEGE” for this is the soundtrack of the Apocalypse.” – (Forever cursed)

In waiting for the repress, the album is still available for full streaming right

Mantra (psychedelic/progressive-metal from France) aims to create innovating, complex and powerful music since 2009 in the footsteps of bands such as Tool, Mastodon and fellow french monsters Gojira, for a deep dive in a personnal universe made of overwhelming riffs, convoluted rythms and bewitching atmospheres.
.
The voice of Pierre is leading the crew, followed by Matthieu’s bass and Gabriel’s drums who put the rythm section at the center of
Mantra‘s music. Guitarist Simon is also responsible for the mind-blowing sound on the band’s recordings, rocking you along unpredictable paths you will never forget.
.
In 2012, after two demos (“Let the light be” – 2009 & “Tribal warming” – 2010),
Mantra released “Toward the light”, their first EP. Recorded in a farm lost in the French countryside, where the band gathers to create among nature’s energy flows, this opus is about to be followed in June 2013 by the band’s debut full-length album to come through
Finisterian Dead End (Bagheera) : “Into the light”.
.
In waiting for the album, “Toward the light EP” is available for streaming + free download right
now.
