Free Metal Monday: DamseL-Demos

Self-Release/Independent
2018

Based in Vancouver, British Columbia and falling somewhere between hard & heavy rock and roll and (working man's) heavy metal, DamseL (sic) is a slightly-sleazy five-piece band that knows how to write some damn catchy material! Sadly there are only two songs on the group's "Demos" ("Obscene Machine" and "Dead of Night"), but when they are both awesome(!) that helps to ease the pain!!! So far this seems to be the only release from DamseL. Hopefully that will change in the near future. In the meantime this two-track release in free to download. If you ask me (and really, more people should!*) that is a absolute-steal for hard & heavy rock and roll songs like this, but seeing as I don't set the prices for these things who am I too complain?


*It's a joke folks...

Medevil-Conductor of Storms

Self-release/Independent
2016

Based in Chilliwack, British Columbia of all places, Medevil is a up-and-coming power/thrash metal band that lists the likes of Metal Church, Iron Maiden, Rush, Megadeth, Black Sabbath, and Mastodon as it's primary sources of inspiration. The full-length "Conductor of Storms" is this young group's debut album and seeing as it offers up a vintage sound that owes as much to N.W.O.B.H.M. movement as it does the classic thrash metal scene of old. For band-mates Liam Collingwood (vocals), Gary Cordsen (guitar), Brett Gibbs (guitar), Eric Wesa (bass), and Ross Collingwood (drums) this is as good of a starting point as one could hope for. With a total of eight songs in all, "Conductor of Storms" paints a promising picture of what could easily turn out to be one of Canada's best new metal bands!
