Edmonton, AB's Juliet Ruin recently released their first full-length album "Old Stardust, Love and Chaos" on September 6, 2019 to follow their 2017 debut self titled EP. The release promises to be more technical with heavy instrumentation, including some dabbling in low tuned 7 string guitars to create an original sound chock full of catchy hooks that convey a fresh and emotive feel to their heavy music. Lead vocalist Jess Ruin has added more screams, but also more clean techniques with her pop-esque power vocals. Fans of forward-thinking modern metal such as Evanescence, System of a Down, and Killswitch Engage should take special note of this powerful and emotive Canadian band. Teaming up with GhostCultMag.com, Juliet Ruin is excited to premiere their latest lyric video for the track 'Fight To Win' at the following link HERE. The band adds: "'Fight to Win' is probably one of the more unique tracks on the album. It begins softly and quickly changes pace, flowing into our most experimental vocals in the verses. FTW is a wordy and exciting track with an array of vocal styles. The verses of this one are special vocally because of creative on-the-spot thinking in the studio by Diego Fernandez. The last-minute change to make the verses more spoken the entire mood of the song different. FTW is an ode to owning up to a vengeful nature just to flaunt it proudly as a warning sign." Digital stream and download of Juliet Ruin's debut album "Old Stardust, Love, and Chaos" is available on Spotify, Bandcamp, Apple Music, Amazon. Music Video 'Spite' here. Lyric Video 'Seasons' here. In additional news, Juliet Ruin will be supporting Ukraine's Jinjer in Calgary on October 29th and Edmonton on October 30th. The band adds: "We as a band are absolutely honoured to be opening up for Jinjer, we are all fans and their meteoric rise has been a pleasure to watch." Show Dates: Oct 29 - Calgary, AB - Dickens w/ Jinjer, The Browning, Sumo Cyco Oct 30 - Edmonton, AB - The Starlite Room w/ Jinjer, The Browning, Sumo Cyco For more info: JulietRuin.com

Ukrainian Modern Metallers Jinjer release new single & official music video, “On The Top”12/10/2019 Ukrainian modern metal frontrunners Jinjer have returned with a vengeance! Today, Jinjer turns heads with a new music video for the gut-punching anthem “On The Top”. Never failing to deliver an unforgettable hook, “On The Top” slinks along a punishing groove before soaring into melodic passages – just another example of what listeners can expect to be met with on the band’s upcoming full-length album, Macro, out October 25, 2019 via Napalm Records. “While one is climbing, the rest is falling down in the name of profit – Is it lonely on the top?” Jinjer:- says about “On The Top”: “Have you ever felt like a rat in a rat race? It seems like the world is spinning faster and faster every single day and everyone is going crazy searching for this thing called success. However, we tend to forget that real happiness has nothing to do with it- not a career, achievements, money etc. Is it really worth climbing up the ladder just to be ON to the TOP if there is nothing or no one there for you in the end? It's OK to want to be the best you can possibly be but just remember that success has its price but it's up to you to decide how much you are willing to pay for it. It’s your choice to make but your burden to bare …” Watch “On The Top” HERE In less than 10 years, the four-piece progressive groove metal wrecking machine known as Jinjer have carved their very own place in the heavy metal landscape and are poised to go even further in 2019 and beyond. Hailing from Donetsk, this Ukrainian musical oddity formed in 2009 but consider the official start of the band with the addition of the incredible vocalist and femme fatale, Tatiana Shmailyuk, in 2010. Since then, Jinjer have been nominated and won the Best Ukrainian Metal Act award for Best Ukrainian Metal Band multiple times. This year’s Micro EP was received with open arms by fans and critics alike, climbed to the top of many industry charts and radio station lists worldwide and once again showcased the musical depth and songwriting talent of the band, as well as Tatiana's amazing vocal range. The band will build upon these successes with Macro.

Playing music on joint of modern heaviness and diverse melodism, for the time being the band has played several hundreds of live shows, released two full-length albums worldwide, ("Break The Silence" / 2011, "The Silver Lining" / 2015) and took part in many festivals. Band’s style is expanding constantly and represents mind-blowing mixture of many melodic genres – from power, folk, doom and gothic metal to modern/progressive metal. The band completely deserves to be called one of the most outstanding young musical representatives of its style. "It is our best work so far. New songs are catchy and easy to remember. I think this album will not leave anyone to be indifferent. It has so much energy to it so you just can't ignore what you will hear :) Trust me!", comments guitarist Victor Morozov. The new album "Vortex" is available for pre-order at the record label official store ➤ http://bit.ly/Scarleth_Vortex A Teaser from the first single and Video coming out in October is available at the following link ➤ https://youtu.be/J4EW9tzjLUE FOLLOW on SPOTIFY https://spoti.fi/2l48WsC SCARLETH is: Ekaterina Kapshuk (vocals) Victor Morozov (guitar) Yana Kovalskaya (keyboards) Igor Chumak (bass) Philipp Kharouk (drums) Rockshots.eu scarleth.com.ua www.facebook.com/scarlethband/ www.instagram.com/scarlethband "Love Exchange Failure", the consuming new full-length from Odessa, Ukraine-based post-black metal collective White Ward, is out now and streaming via Debemur Morti Productions. Doused in poise, creativity, and dynamism, with Exchange Failure, the band channels Bohren And Der Club Of Gore, composer Angelo Badalamenti, and contemporary blackened majesty into an eclectic set of visionary hymns that fuse late-night metropolitan contemplation, psychological horror, intoxicating melodicism, and primeval, animal-state ferocity. The record blends brushed drums, reverberant piano, a variety of guesting clean vocalists, and neo-noir saxophone within an architecture of first-rate contemporary misanthropic black metal. Stream White Ward's stunning Love Exchange Failure HERE. White Ward's Love Exchange Failure is available on CD, LP, and digital formats. For pre-orders in North America go HERE, for Europe go HERE, and for digital orders go HERE. Following the record's release, White Ward will take on a short European tour. See all confirmed dates below. WHITE WARD: 10/13/2019 Malý Berlín - Trnava, SK 10/14/2019 Klub Močvara - Zagreb, HR 10/16/2019 Le Molotov - Marseille, FR 10/17/2019 Akut - Thun, CH 10/18/2019 Le Klub - Paris, FR w/ Borgne 10/19/2019 Into The Void Fest - Leeuwarden, NL 10/20/2019 The Pit's Bang Zoom Noise - Kortrijk, BE 10/22/2019 Vortex Surfer Musikclub - Siegen, DE 10/26/2019 Rideboy Club - Bielsko-Biala, PL 10/27/2019 Aurora - Budapest, HU Diverse movements and tonal shifts interlink as if to mirror what the band describes as humanity's existential struggle "caused by the inability to understand who we are and what our place on this planet is;" a clash between dreamworlds and harsh reality evocative as the urban landscapes of photographer Luke Pownall used throughout the packaging. A truly essential listen, Love Exchange Failure is a record that, on repeat plays, opens up like a streetscape sinkhole to drag you into the degenerate heart of the city. Further elaborates WHITE WARD of the offering:- "The idea behind this album is to illustrate the artificial conditions people created to contradictory distinguish themselves to nature. Being neither a separate phenomenon nor a sustainable part of the surrounding environment, we've pushed ourselves to a constant struggle caused by the inability to understand who we are and what our place on this planet is. Conditions we create lead to a continually rising level of fear in the minds of individuals and at the same time - the lack of love. Under the term 'love' we mean not a feeling in its primitive understanding but a feature that helps us to live in harmony with ourselves, other people, and the world around. The love exchange failure leads to an inevitable degradation and degeneration. The more hatred we push towards people around us, the deeper we fall. The blinder we are on our daily way to work, the more sufferings we leave behind. People don't have time to talk to each other. Furthermore, obsessed by desires, they don't even pay enough attention to their children, rising each new generation more exposed to mental problems. Blindness, indifference, and domestic abuse, bullying in schools, social rejection, and many other factors lead to many tragedies of mankind. Caused by individuals, they are our own crimes." http://www.facebook.com/whitewardofficial http://www.instagram.com/whitewardofficial http://www.debemur-morti.com http://www.facebook.com/debemurmorti http://dmp666.bandcamp.com http://www.instagram.com/debemurmorti/ Thrash / Death metal band Hell: on from Ukraine has released the "Spreading Chaos" track, which will be the forerunner of the upcoming split EP "A Glimpse Beyond".

Enjoy "Deceptive Reflections" right now:- https://youtu.be/Iu-N3lKOv9Y Mix and mastering by "Morton Studio" (Kyiv, Ukraine). Polynove Pole (eng. Wormwood Field) was formed in the fall of 2004 in Lviv, Ukraine. After the first demo recordings in 2005, the band started to perform at local concerts, and then on rock festivals of western Ukraine and capital city Kyiv. In the beginning of 2008, the first EP “Pure Souls” was officially released, and at the end of the same year a full-length album “On Seven Winds” as well. Due to active concert activity and selection of musician line-up, the band came to prominence as one of the leading groups of Western Ukraine. New songs of PolynovePole were represented in tribute-albums and collections of Ukrainian rock music. The band’s next EP, “Under the Cold Stone”, was released in 2009 and became the heaviest and the most melodic at that time in the discography. Since 2010, a long pause has taken place in the history of the band. After taking time off, the band joined forces with new members and resumed work on new material. The band resurgence started in November 2017, with a new release, “On The Edge Of The Abyss”. Re-released on April 2018 by Moon records. Polynove Pole delivered the record with lyrics that appeared in Ukrainian and English for the first time.

After playing an extensive European tour with Turisas and Trollfest in support of their latest studio album 'Kulkija' ('Wanderer'), the band is about to kick off an 8-show Australian & New Zealand run (w/ Troldhaugen) tomorrow. But before the sextet continues their current touring cycle with a North American co-headline tour with their label mates in Eluveitie in September/October, Korpiklaani will perform a string of European festival gigs. In anticipation of these upcoming summer dates - starting at Metalfest Open Air, Pilsen (CZ) on June 2nd - the band has unleashed a brand new lyric video for the Czech version of their all-time favourite 'Beer Beer', which can also be found on the tour edition of 'Kulkija'. Check out 'Bír Bír' [ft. Fleret] over on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4drIAMzV7qg Fleret comments:- "The cooperation with Korpiklaani on the Czech version of their hit song 'Beer Beer (Bír Bír)' convinced us that even folk metal superstars like them can be nice guys with stellar manners. Not only did they prove this during the rehearsal at the Masters Of Rock Café in Zlín but also on the Masters Of Rock 2018 festival stage where we played with them after only one rehearsal of their song 'Vodka', our song 'Vizovice' and then - we believe we can say - our common song 'Beer Beer (Bír Bír)' with the Czech lyrics of our lyricist Jan Mrlík. That was a remarkable and exciting experience for us and hopefully for Korpiklaani as well. Korpiklaani, thanks to all of you!" The track will be available digitally from Friday, May 24!

Motanka will release their debut album Motanka on June 7th via Napalm Records. Influenced by traditional Ukrainian folk music, metal tunes and modern electronica, the band creates a very unique mix that the band refers to as Mystic Metal. Motanka managed to capture the trance-like magic of their live shows on their debut, which leaves each and every stereotype behind and hypnotizes with heavy ethno soundscapes. MOTANKA on “Oy ty moya Zemle”: "This is a song about Motherland, about boundless sky, native land, joyful sun and dear moon. Wherever you are, you will be a part of the land on which you were born and grew up. And it will stay forever, this is the power of mother Earth which cherishes us on her hands.” Watch the new video HERE The Ukrainian lyrics in English: Oy ty moya Zemle – Here you are my land Here you are my land Here you are my native Here you are my mother Here you are my beloved You are forever Here you are my river Here you are my sky Here you are my sun You are my happiness Motanka is the name of the traditional doll that ancient Ukrainians used as an overseer for their protection and for the communication with their ancestors.
