Gwar – Ready to Destroy Winnipeg
by Gil Caroll
Intergalactic metal warriors Gwar have been ruthlessly pummeling audiences here on Earth for years now. The band and fans grieved the tragic falling of long-time guitar player Flattus Maximus in 2011, but now Gwar is ready to destroy Winnipeg once again on their “Fate or Chaos” tour. In preparation for this travelling gore show, Stylus caught up with Gwar vocalist Oderus Urungus at the band’s Antarctic HQ for a revealing telephone interview. Continue reading “Gwar – Ready to Destroy Winnipeg”
CRUCIFIED BARBARA – The Midnight Chase
Ughhh. Why oh why must the production on some of these Nuclear Blast releases be so goddamn clean? This all female band from Sweden takes their cues from Motörhead and Joan Jett but the production really hides that. Continue reading “CRUCIFIED BARBARA – The Midnight Chase”
Dean Murdoch & Nightseeker :: Giv’r till it hurts
by Sheldon Birnie
Dean Murdoch (aka Paul Spence) is one of the deadliest dudes to ever pick up a bass guitar, shotgun a Pilsner, and just fuckin’ giv’r shit. Made (in)famous by his role in Fubar and Fubar 2: Balls to the Wall, Deaner has since moved on from the Mac and kept his heavy metal band Nighseeker rocking from coast to coast. The Deaner and Nightseeker are hitting Winnipeg and Brandon on October 25 and 26. Gettin’ ready to giv’r, Stylus caught up with the Deaner, over the phone, as he was finishing a bag of chips earlier this week. Here’s how our conversation went down.
[Editor’s Note: The following post is probably NSFW, and certainly contains deadly references to partying hard and giv’n’r to the fuckin’ max. You have been warned.]

Meshuggah – Koloss
On Meshuggah’s seventh album they waste no time kicking it into heavy gear with the legendary sound fans have come to expect. They turn down the technical aspect a bit in favor of a slightly slower chugging guitar. Continue reading “Meshuggah – Koloss”
Grand Master :: Rocking with the Masters
By Scott Wolfe
The gents in Grand Master have been on the Winnipeg metal scene for quite some time. Their new full length, The Dream Alive, shows some impressive songwriting, taking the listener on a musical journey through the band’s influences and then some. Stylus sat down with vocalist/bassist Alec Schaefer and guitarist Shane Barron at the Yellow Dog to catch up and discuss the new album and summer plans.
