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.

Galy Records is proud to announce the signing of Atheretic & Shaolin
Having earned their experience by shaking frantically the Quebec metal fans during the last few years, Atheretic now propel their complex and technical extreme metal around the globe. Of similar cerebral caliber to Gorguts' Obscura combined with the physical intensity of Cryptopsy, "Apocalyptic Nature Fury" is a thunderous attack of extreme metal and outstanding technicality. Barriers of neuron-damaging guitar and bass riffs, multiple frenzied tempos and creatively challenging vocal lines far beyond your wildest imagination. A discipline both athletic and mathematical; in other words, physical science in its purest sense!. Produced by J-F Dagenais (Kataklysm, Misery Index).
Check out two songs (rough mix / unmastered version) HERE.
Available May 02nd 2006
Born a little over a year ago, Shaolin has rapidly earned the respect and support of its peers here in Quebec by its implication in the scene and most of all, by its ability to combine technical playing, solid melodies and insane mosh mayhem into every song. The band's debut "Gaining Freedom at The Expense of Virtue" is another concrete example of why bands from Quebec are turning so many heads lately. For fans of Between The Buried And Me, Misery Signals and Unearth.

There aren't many bands like Coprofago. It takes a sense of culture, professional musical ability, and most of all ballsy creativity to create an album like Unorthodox Creative Criteria. - Lambgoat
Unorthodox Creative Criteria may not be an entity living in its own vacuum, but it fucking rules nonetheless'' - Kevin Stewart Panko. DECIBEL
The way Coprofago are blending extreme metal & Jazz is amazing. - The Darkest Hours
Unorthodox Creative Criteria is an impressive album - MetalReview
No band has been able to have such prominence in this kind of fusion since Cynic. Pick this CD up at all costs'' - Uranium music
Coprofago can find themselves included on the very prestigious list of musical pioneers who created the absolutely flawless fusion of two different genres (turbulent metal chaos & laid-back contemporary jazz.). - decoymusic.com

Eric Galy and members of Despised Icon & Cryptopsy.
The Other Quebec ( Exclaim! Magazine, October 2005)
Innovative Metal Scene Flies Under the Radar, By Jill Mikkelson
Though the province of Quebec is better known these days for the Arcade Fire, it is home to one of the world's most dynamic metal communities, thriving as Canada's most anomalous music scene. Read more...
R.I.P. Denis 'Piggy' D'Amour 1959 - 2005
Denis was an amazing musician and a very nice and humble man. I started listening to metal around the same time their album "War and Pain" came out, so I grew up listening to Voivod and I still look up to them to this day. Denis gave us a musical legacy that I will cherish forever.
Merci Piggy repose en paix. - Éric Galy

[MP3] The Inborn Mechanics
[MP3] Isolated Through Multiplicity
"their flourishing jazz breaks make constant appearances. No band has been able to have such prominence in this kind of fusion since Cynic. Atheist were good, but Coprofago do it with so much ease that it's almost like jazz and metal drip from their amps. The ambience and atmosphere behind it is awe-inspiring and completely addictive. Pick this CD up at all costs." - Uranium Music
"Strong and heavy riffs in addition of really aggressive vocals, powerful drums with a lot of breaks, and above all technical solos with a lot of Jazz influences. That's the recipe of Coprofago's music and believe me it's good. It's original and fresh and this is one of the big surprises of the year." 8.5 - Metal Storm
"Unorthodox Creative Criteria, oozes with the unbelievable talent this Chilean quartet brings to the listener. "The Inborn Mechanics" demonstrates Coprofago's expertise at turning turbulent metal chaos into laid-back contemporary jazz. Coprofago can find themselves included on the very prestigious list of musical pioneers who created the absolutely flawless fusion of two different genres." - decoymusic.com

Check out Beneath The Massacre's interview & reviews
Interview:
Into-Obscurity.com
Reviews:
''one of the greatest death metal albums in years, and perhaps the most brutal and equally technical release of 2005.'' - Uranium Music
''If it's true that Montreal is assembling an army to take over the metal scene, Beneath The Massacre may very well be it's atomic bomb. These guys are unforgiving, uncompromising and unstoppable.'' - Into-Obscurity.com
The magnificent, show-off guitar work brings a sense of melody, along with the prog
hook, to elevate grind above itself and to set the band apart from its genre mates. Luscious. - FishComCollective
Add Beneath the Massacre to the list of impressive Canadian bands that can rip you apart with their brutality and shred your mind with mind boggling intricacy. DigitalMetal
insanely fast death metal that radiates with oodles of talent. Everything about this record is blistering: the soloing, drumming, grooving, and growling. - MetalReview.com
The dive-bomb approach taken in album standout 'Profitable Killcount' is akin to a machine gun tearing through a crowd of wannabes who can't fathom music being this daunting, elaborate, yet so heavy. - 4.5/5 Snaggletooth
We are happy to announce that Vortex is the latest band to join the Galy Records family. A hard working band from Rimouski (Quebec), Vortex features active and ex-members of Jerks, Mental Disorder, Astral Gates & Foot Clan. They are influenced by bands like Hatebreed, Heaven Shall Burn, Obituary, Slayer and God Forbid.
The album was recorded with producer Jean-Francois Dagenais (Kataklysm, Misery Index) and will be released in September 2005. To give you an idea of what they sound like, you can listen to the song "Chaos Will Bring a New World" at:

Here are some quotes taken from reviews of their album Sleep and Fly Away…
Slipping and slamming into thrash grooves and speed games that recall harsher Shadows Fall and more malevolent Disfear. - David Perri
Disphoria is certainly an accomplished addition to the canon of underground metalcore and worth it for fans of said genre to check them out. - FishComCollective
Intensity pushed to the max! - Darkest Hours
When this band plays heavy, they're one of the most crushing metalcore outfits I've ever heard. Even their use of melody is appropriate and effective. - Into Obscurity
Une album incontournable pour tous les amateurs de MetalCore. - 17/20 Violent Solutions
Augury will be part of the Northern Lights Festival 2005 alongside label mate Unexpect, headliner Impaled Nazarene and seven other bands. For more info:

Tout ce beau monde réuni ne pouvait qu'engendrer une petite merveille et c'est désormais chose faite avec ce premier album qui n'a que bien peu d'égal dans l'histoire du métal. - 18/20 Violent Solutions
Once again, the province of Quebec, Canada has given us another lesson in metal. It doesn't matter what style of extreme metal you're talking about, you can name a band from this region as a top example of it. Augury are no exception... "Concealed" is as intelligent as extreme metal gets. - Into Obscurity
This certainly is as melodic as it is heavy. - FishComCollective
Fans of extreme metal will fall in love at first listen if they love complexity, weird structures and beautiful melodies mixed up with powerfull brutality! - 88% Darkest Hours
Concealed has so much to offer with each spin. An enjoyable journey into metal for sure. - 8/10 Unrestrained!
This has quite easily topped all others as my best CD of 2004. Incredibly unique and it features an amazing innovativeness that you would be hard pressed to find elsewhere. - 10/10 Ontario Metal
Taking symphonic and technical death metal to epic proportions, "Concealed" leverages Augury's inherent progressive leanings into one of the year's most thorough, well-choreographed blends of black, death, and folk metal melody. - Uranium Music

SOULSCAR - have developed a slicing hybrid of modern thrash, death and heavy metal to a savage level. After paving a devastating path through metal's underground with "Character Assassination", their critically acclaimed debut on Galy Records, Soulscar strike back with their second release "Victim Impact Statement", a phenomenal collection of top-notch memorable metal anthems. Some songs thrash by at lightning speed, others demand attention with addictive harmonies, still others wreck necks with amazing metal riffing force. Picture the catchiness of In Flames and Arch Enemy mixed with Carnal Forge's high level of intensity. In stores October 12th 2004.

ECLIPSE ETERNAL - We are very proud to announce the addition of Eclipse Eternal to the Galy Records roster. Their epic black metal with heavy hitting symphonies will prove that they are not just another black metal band. We are convinced that Eclipse Eternal will contribute to the music scene by bringing something new and innovating. The band's debut album Reign Of The Unholy Blackened Empire was produced by Glen Drover (Eidolon) and mastered by Andy LaRocque (King Diamond). Look for it this October.
Eclipse Eternal's vocalist Voldamares Gollum had this to say about the signing: "We are proud to have joined forces and become a part of the Arsenal of Galy Records. We are honored to be in such elite company. Beware the time of Transformation for it is near. The troops have gathered, the storm is coming, the unholy blackened empire has arisen from ashes."
