Bloodhunter + Death Above + Sadic Smile

Apocalipsis Events Canarias presenta a BLOODHUNTER y las bandas locales DEATH ABOVE y SADIC SMILE.

BLOODHUNTER:

BLOODHUNTER is an extreme metal band born in Galician lands (Spain) in 2008 from the hand of sole founding member and main songwriter, FENRIS. After several changes in their lineup and concept, DIVA SATANICA joins the band in 2009, whose guttural vocal assault helped drift the band into more extreme territories.

They release a demo called THE FIRST INSURRECTION in 2013, garnering good reviews from the specialized media.

Their self-titled full-length album is released in May 2014, produced by DANIEL CARDOSO and PEDRO MENDES at ULTRASOUND STUDIOS. Eleven tracks that include updated versions of the 3 songs already present in the demo, as a result of a journey from the instinct that expresses the essence of this band: its versatility.

MARIOS ILIOPOULOS, founding member of the Death Metal band NIGHTRAGE, contributes the typical passion of a south European guitarist adorned by the subtlety of the Gothenburg school of playing, creating a magnificent guitar solo for the song “Bring Me Horror” which fits perfectly with the concept of the band. Embrace the Dark Light and Dying Sun videoclips are released in June 2014 and October 2015 respectively in order to push the album through the internet.

This album, which is currently SOLD OUT, has been distributed physically in many countries around the world such as Japan, USA, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Spain, Portugal, UK, Germany, Sweden, France, among others.

In the Summer of 2015, their lead guitarist FENRIS won the chance to participate in the “100 GUITARS FROM HEL” event, travelling to Finland in order to play an entire 30-minute piece with guitar shredder ALEXI LAIHO from CHILDREN OF BODOM, SAMY ELBANNAN from LOST SOCIETY and ARCHIE CRUZ from SANTA CRUZ among others.

Later, the band would open for bands like Hemdale (USA), Holy Moses (Germany), Avulsed (Spain), Ancient Rites (Belgium), Rise to Fall (Spain) or Aposento (Spain), before joining Nightrage (Sweden) and Methedras (Italy) on their first weeklong Spanish trek called "THE BLOODY TOUR".

After a long period of collaboration with luthier FRAN RODRÍGUEZ, the FRANFRET BLOODHUNTER GUITAR MODEL is designed and built during 2017.

DIVA SATANICA participated in the TV Show “The Voice”, surprising the coaches by singing screaming and growling, being the first contestant to perform this type of singing. The international artist JUANES chose her to be part of his team, where she performed songs like “Sweet Dreams”, “Eye of the Tiger” or Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance”.

THE END OF FAITH is the second full-length album of the band, produced by ÁLEX CAPPA and BLOODHUNTER at THE METAL FACTORY STUDIOS, which contains ten new tracks and a Crystal Mountain's Death cover where you can hear DIVA SATANICA's new broad vocal range as well as a mind blowing drum performance by MARCELO AIRES. This album is the natural evolution of the band playing extreme metal without neglecting guitar melodies.

DEATH ABOVE:

Fundados a finales del año 2010 e inspirados por el Thrash Metal y el Crossover, durante los dos primeros años la banda se dedica a asentar su formación y comenzar a dar conciertos, culminando con la salida en 2012 de su primer álbum. “The Attack of the Soul Eaters” tuvo distribución internacional a través del sello ucraniano “Dead Center Productions”.

Gracias a la edición de este CD, la banda sale por primera vez fuera de las islas para dar varios conciertos en Madrid y en el País Vasco y participar también en los principales festivales canarios.

Después de varios ajustes en su formación, en 2016 ve la luz el Split “Beneath the Flesh” un disco a cuatro manos junto a Thrashtorno (Perú), Sadistic Ritual (USA) y Spew (Cánada), que se distribuye de manera digital y con una autoedición limitada.

La banda ha anunciado un nuevo EP con seis temas para el 2017 titulado "Wasteland Chronicles".

SADIC SMILE:

Sadic Smile es una banda que nace en el año 2015 con la idea de demostrarle al panorama musical canario que se puede hacer un Heavy Metal diferente al que se venía haciendo años atrás en las islas, buscando una fusión perfecta entre unas armonías complejas con una técnica pulida y exigente, como mismo demanda el estilo Groove que define a la banda.

Su primer álbum está en proceso, y dentro de muy poco el público canario podrá disfrutar de sus composiciones cargadas de la auténtica esencia del metal.
