Quebec City's UPON YOUR GRAVE
Now Streaming “Gold & Decay” On NoCleanSinging
New EP "Gold &
Decay" Out October 7th; mixed and mastered by Chris Donaldson (Cryptopsy)
|
NoCleanSinging is now streaming the
latest EP from Quebec death metal act Upon Your Grave. With the help of a
successful GoFundMe campaign, the band was able to record “Gold & Decay” with
producer Chris
Donaldson of Cryptopsy in
March. This collaboration was the perfect fit that would elevate their
performances to a more genuine and aggressive sound. Vocalist Jordan Jolicoeur
shares his thoughts on the theme of the EP:
“The theme exposes the duality of beauty and horror and their
relation to each other. Nothing is black or white, everything is a nuance of
grey living independently in every distinct mind. The heart also represents the
revival of the band from the ashes, beating a creative flow in each of our
personal lives. The golden heart also represents the power of creativity
unphased by the passing of time and the withering of leaves. Instead beating
stronger and renewed like the passing seasons. Its creative, aggressive and
more mature than any other effort we put out until now.”
The EP is five tracks that each show off the capabilities of
this band that has been around since 2009. Over the years, they have
experimented with their sound and are now steady and impressive. A live show
involves energy, full on impact with the crowd, funny moments and overall a
tight performance, that is true to the recordings.
Proving that work ethic and perseverance can truly refine a
band’s sound to what they had always been striving for, this new release will
be a fresh start for great things to come and is only the beginning of a
flourishing career.
Upon Your Grave delivers everything
discerning metalheads look for in an album, they incorporate crushing vocals
blended with catchy melodies, bad ass guitar riffs and memorable solos, the
album is recommend for fans of Daath, Lamb of God, and The Black Dahlia Murder.
The EP “Gold
& Decay” is being released on October 7, 2022 and be

About:
Established in 2009, Quebec, Canada-based death metal act, Upon Your Grave, is
finally back swinging.
In 2019, at the dawn of the band’s 10th anniversary, Sim Diamond, Alex
Bussieres and Jordan Jolicoeur grasped the opportunity given by the lockdown to
start writing and rehearsing for a new album. This is their first effort since
the Eponym debut album back in 2013. During their time away from Upon Your
Grave, each member stayed active by releasing albums with other projects like
Vibrant Heels and Universal Minds. Lead guitarist Sim Diamond also got to be
part of Sam Dunn's Shredders of Metal season 1 and made it all the way to the
finals in Toronto. Now adding two new members to the mix, Sebastien Gagné on
drums and Yan Pelletier on bass, two good friends from the local band Scars Of
Disgrace, the band had found their perfect lineup to go forward.
With the help of a successful GoFundMe campaign, the band was able to go record
a new EP with Chris Donaldson of Cryptopsy in March of 2022. this collaboration
was the perfect fit that would elevate their performances to a more genuine and
aggressive sound. Incorporating crushing vocals blended with catchy melodies,
bad-ass guitar riffs and memorable solos that remind us of bands such as Daath,
Lamb of God, Sylosis and even All Shall Perish.
Gold & Decay proves that work ethic and perseverance can truly refine a
band’s sound to what they had always been striving for. This new release will
be a fresh start for great things to come and is only the beginning of a
flourishing career.
