06/08/07 - Dying Fetus, Neuraxis, Covenance, & Bloodshoteye @ Club Soda, Montreal

Tag: blog
Once or twice a year, heads-down death metal takes over the new Club Soda, transforming the usually normal hipster meeting spot into a deafening, grief-ridden barroom.

04/27/2007 - Behemoth, Necronomicon, Profugus Mortis, Magister Dixit @ Le Medley, Montreal

Tag: blog
In what would prove to be both a warm-up date for their upcoming fight for global darkness with a new album on Century Media, boisterously titled The Apostasy, and a gift to the Montreal scene that has so supported Behemoth in years past, Behemoth’s attack on this evening was flawlessly prepared and carried out. But before the faithful weeknight metal warriors from our increasingly muggy urban core (and its surrounding boroughs) could feast their eyes upon a fully decked-out and rejuvinated Polish black metal legend, entrées were served in the form of Magister Dixit , Profugus Mortis, and veterans Necronomicon, who performed with Behemoth throughout Quebec numerous times since the turn of the decade.

03/04/2007 - Unleashed, Krisiun, Belphegor @ Foufounes Electriques, Montreal

Tag: blog
There exists metal for the majority and metal for the minority, and this long-awaited event was custom-tailored for the latter, no matter if the crowd was denser than most could have envisioned. Unleashed [www.unleashed.se] returned to Montreal following a nearly decade-long absence, now touring on their tenth studio album and SPV Records debut Midvinterblot, bringing along two more extreme and almost nearly as credible veteran acts, Germany’s Belphegor [www.belphegor.ai] and Brazil’s Krisiun [www.krisiun.com].
