Mandroid Echostar is a 6 piece progressive metal band from Guelph, Ontario. The band was formed in the summer of 2010 by bassist Adam Richards, guitarist Sam Pattison, and drummer Matt H-K. Over the course of the next year they filled out their line up with the addition of guitarist/keyboardist James Krul, guitarist Stephen Richards and vocalist Michael Ciccia. By the winter of 2011 Mandroid were finished writing their debut EP and were ready to record. They chose a studio close to home, Sundown Studios, owned and operated by Jordan Valeriote  (Dead and Divine, Silverstein, Structures) who engineered, mixed and co-produced the EP. The album was then sent for mastering at Masterdisk in NYC by the legendary Roger Lian (Rush, Muse, Deftones, The Mars Volta). Combining the melody and technicality of progressive rock with the heavy, hard hitting groove of metal, these musicians have forged a fresh sound that todays music scene is hungry for. With an early summer EP release, 2012 will see great things from Mandroid Echostar.

† NEW TRACK - DEATH RACER- OUT NOW †

https://carpenterbrut.lnk.to/deathracer_tcm

And it came to pass, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel
turned again, and went a whoring after Baalim, and made Baalberith their god.

Directed and commanded by another power. The power of darkness, which many
people do not believe exists. The power of the Devil. The power of Satan. The power of Baalberith.





There is something inherently intoxicating and memorable about the auditory bouquet of Nightmare Fortress. Perfecting their kinetic, alienated dreamscape sound since 2011, the Seattle group’s debut long-player, The Wanting, is an immaculate collection of high-strung synergy, bound to get the mind thinking while dirtying the dance floor.

Nightmare Fortress is Alicia Amiri (vocals), Colin Roper (synths), Blair Field (synths), and Cassidy Gonzales (guitar), who, with the assistance of producer Erik Blood (Shabazz Palaces, THEESatisfaction, Crypts), have crafted a sound on the darker side of the pop spectrum, showcasing a divine chemistry that gives their intricate orchestrations a potent punch. Where synths drip in layers of swirling, lush harmonies operating in a perfect parallel with tense yet tranquil string work, the backbone of­ synthetic drums offers a crisp, driving metronome with snare snaps that penetrate throughout. As the centerpiece, Amiri’s sharp voice soars through the rhythm’s open spaces, slowly unfurling in a grand, cinematic arc.

With a selection of cuts to rival that of an 80’s slasher - do your ears a favor and scale up the dark, dangerous, bewitchingly beautiful walls of the Nightmare Fortress.

They have supported bands in the Pacific Northwest and down the west coast including Austra, Crystal Castles, Peter Hook & the Light, Trust, A Place to Bury Strangers, Cold Cave, ADULT., Niki & the Dove, Tearist, Grave Babies and more.
