GHOULUNATICS new album Cryogénie available now

The Ghoulunatics have a unique musical imprint, going from all-out rock n'roll to screaming metal with the intensity of punk rock. Produced by Pierrre Rémillard (Cryptopsy, Krisiun) at famed Wild Studio, Cryogénie offers a more straightforward approach than previous albums, which leads to incredibly swift rhythms and a more focused intensity. Here, the Ghouls mega-groove reaches its peak.

This fifth studio album shows a musical continuity, but this time the audacity is found in the lyrics, for these ten songs are written in the tongue of Molière.
12-page full-color booklet.

BANG BANG Magazine: Ghoulunatics are on the front cover of Bang Bang issue #6, available now. There is an interview in the issue. View the cover HERE

This is a must have disc for any fan of technical death metal. - SMNnews

Apocalyptic Nature Fury is a relentless powerhouse of otherworldly energy and remarkable skill. - Lambgoat

a well rounded slab of Northern complexity that stands out from the guttural, typical Unique Leader styled pack. - DigitalMetal

Atheretic's manic, frantic extreme death metal sound generates strange textures and complex rhythms and delivers them with metallic fury. - fishcomcollective

One of Canada's most solid heavy metalcore band. - Greg Pratt BW&BK

Bloodshoteye shares a peculiar affinity for death metal in the vein of Kataklysm - MetalReview

the innovative, yet brutal-as-f**k guitar antics of Shane Ivy will leave you battered and breathless - SOD

As with all Galy Records albums I have come into contact with, An Unrelenting Assault is of high caliber. - Defect Magazine

Jessica sounds amazingly strong and convincing with her vocals, putting many of her male contemporaries to shame. - livingformetal.com

QUILLS - Quills =
8/10 - Arsenic
8/10 - Blabbermouth
8/10 - MetalUniverse
5/6 - metalreview.com
7/10 - Underground Review

These guys hearken back to a time when bands like Brutal Truth could create ugliness, but still kinda thrash out too - Blabbermouth (8/10)

an 8-song EP filled with pummeling, unrelenting Grindcore that gives Phobia and Terrorizer a run for their money - Underground Review

blasting power chord fusion and incredibly deft and acidic harmonies give Quills a level of biting yet catchy, intensity I haven't heard since Terrorizer. - DigitalMetal

The overall effect is something like His Hero Is Gone ripping through their set in doubletime while Pg. 99 and Orchid egg them on, and it's friggin' beautiful. - metalreview.com
