Are you wanting your band to be a part of Saskatoon's biggest metal Halloween Party?  Well, what are you waiting for?

​TOXIC HOLOCAUST released their most recent full-length release, Chemistry of Consciousness, via Relapse in 2013. Crowned, "...one of thrash's most exciting modern bands," by Loudwire, "...the aural equivalent of a cobra with a chest tattoo of a double helix and syringes for fangs getting ready to strike amidst two flesh-like walls of anxious, bloodshot eyes...," by MetalSucks," and a, "bottled up riot distilled into musical form," by Metal Injection," Chemistry Of Consciousness continues to dehydrate the masses with a platter that pays tribute to the likes of Anti-Cimex, Warfare, Infernal Majesty, GBH, Discharge, Autopsy and Chaos UK without replicating them.

​GATECREEPER will be touring in support of their Sonoran Depravation full-length released via Relapse Records last October. Produced by Ryan Bram at Homewrecker Studios and mixed by Kurt Ballou (Converge, Nails, Black Breath) at God City Studios, the record tears and chugs through more than thirty minutes of crusty, doom-soaked death metal at its most infectious and uncompromising with a massive sound that calls to mind the classic Swedish buzz-saw attack of Dismember and Grave mixed with the impeccable groove of Obituary and Bolt Thrower.

​Pitchfork notes of the offering, "Arizona's GATECREEPER stand out not by aping one particular style of death metal, but by acting as a polyglot of various classic bands. Sonoran Depravation is their unwavering debut LP." Cvlt Nation calls Sonoran Depravation, "a death metal masterwork that will begin carving GATECREEPER a place into the same pantheon from which they draw influence: bear witness and headbang with awe," while Noisey writes, "the nine-song album reflects the prickly intermingling of genres and cities, raw with emotion and a pervasive ferocity. Unlike bands like Power Trip or Xibalba, whose sound clearly melds thrash and punk, GATECREEPER's approach on tracks like 'Sterilizing' or highlight 'Stronghold' emphasize death metal as a primary style."

​Very 'Eavy Festival goes out with a bang !!
​
The Very 'Eavy Festival in Stadskanaal, the Netherlands, has become a household name for many in the area and beyond. Lovers of Old School Hard Rock and Heavy Metal are coming for six years, every  April, from near and far to Stadskanaal.

Organizer Hugo Koch manages to create a great line-up every year, but he notes that over the years it's getting difficult, the bands that he likes to see himself and are affordable for his festival, now all have been given acte de presence.

This started out as a hobby, but now requires so much energy and time, Hugo Koch decided that the Festival this year, on 21 and 22 April, will be the last edition.

​"The seventh edition of the Very 'Eavy Festival, has got to be a winner. With names like "Holocaust", "Warrior", "Stranger", "Tokyo Blade", "BlackSlash", "Overruled", "Night Demon", "Witch Cross", "Lovell's Blade", "Hitten", "Vardis"  and headliner the British "Angel Witch" we go out with a huge bang."  according to Hugo Koch.

With only less than 80 tickets left, the festival seems  to have become a success indeed. For more information and pre-sale tickets, á € 35, click here.
