Adelaide based metal combo SHATTER BRAIN are proud to present their new amazing video for "Lorem Ipsum", track taken from "Pitchfork Justice" out via Wormholedeath / The Orchard / Aural Music Group.
The video has been shot during the coronavirus pandemic isolation period. In the midst of the Coronavirus pandemic, SHATTER BRAIN exploited the magic of video conferencing software to live-stream a performance while each member was self-isolating in their own home. Some of the band's friends from the Adelaide metal scene joined the conference call to help with sound, lighting, and...uh, stage management....
"Lorem Ipsum" lyrically is a commentary on the spread of misinformation and uninformed opinions that has been propagated by the evolution of the internet and social media; how appropriate. Luckily, the band remembered to press the record button and captured how it all unfolded.
Pitchfork Justice stews together ingredients from sludge, thrash, and hardcore (among other things), and it’s recommended for fans of HIGH ON FIRE, BLACK BREATH and POWER TRIP (among other groups).

Montreal Thrash HOMICIDE’s New Single “Scourge of God”. New Album 'Left For Dead' Out August 21st
HOMICIDE line-up: Bryan Donahue - Guitar: Mac - Bass: Scotty - Drums; Gab - Vocals / Guitar
Montreal’s HOMICIDE have a new album “Left For Dead” that is ready to take the world by storm on August 21st, 2020; the first offering since the band went dark 25 years ago. “Scourge of God” is the first single off the album and the sonic grand entrance Homicide makes back into the metal scene.
What has been coined as “apocalyptic thrash” is coming back for fans and HOMICIDE states it is like the first album, but on steroids. With a considerable amount of experience under their belts, this new album promises to be an instant classic. A no holds barred tour de force. The band shares the premise and musical intricacies behind the single:
“It gets things off to a fine start and is a reminder of just how good the storytelling style of vocalist Gabriel Morency is as he delivers a tale of the wrath of God. Mid-tempo evil chugs keep things going nicely and the riffs pay homage to the Bay Area Thrash scene with a nostalgic tooth gap grin while that whammy bar drop is a nice touch. It’s one of those tracks that cuts at a point when it could happily go on for another few minutes and that’s always the hallmark of quality.”
This is the soundtrack for listeners who are looking to conquer the world. Whether you’re driving, working out, or just looking for something to bang your head to, the fast and furious stylings of HOMICIDE are going to hit the spot. All killer and no filler HOMICIDE is suitable for fans of VENOM; EXODUS and MOTÖRHEAD.
The single "Scourge of God" is available on Spotify, Apple Music, Google Play HERE.
Formed in Montreal in the extremely vibrant metal/hardcore/crossover music scene of the early 1990's, Homicide was, at the time, an amalgamation of members from other heavy-hitting bands on the scene who had developed strong followings and solid reputations in their own right. Gab Morency of Corrupted Youth (guitar/vocals) and Bryan Donahue of Damaged (guitar) began writing together after discovering that they had similar heavy influences and interests such as Motorhead, Slayer and Venom.
Morency had been renting a room in an extensive apartment building that also housed the jam space of local heavyweights Lizard. This is where the raucous rhythm section of Greg Mcleary (bass) and Scotty MacCulloch (drums) of Lizard heard the riffs from Morency and Donahue and decided that they had to join in on the heaviness that was transpiring.
After a period of only a few weeks, Homicide had begun recording what would be their first album “Malice and Forethought”. This catapulted them into the scene, where they played alongside and held their own with the likes of Voivod, Death, and Merciful Fate just to name a few. These performances granted Homicide a reputation for one of the best live bands performing on the scene with crowd-pleasers such as “Bring Back the Rope” about lax capital punishment policies and “Death Train” giving a nod to the devastation of terrorism in the poison gassing of a Japanese subway line.
With a sound that can be coined as “Apocalyptic Thrash”, Homicide went underground for many years and it was presumed that the band was no longer. However, 2020 brought the band members together again they recorded a new album “Left For Dead” which compared to the first album will be like going from light beer to moonshine. Homicide is back and fully amped to be bringing fast, aggressive to new and old fans around the world.
Homicide's "Left For Dead" is due out August 21, 2020.
