Well, well, well. Another autumn rolls around and you Montreal metal fans generally know what that means: The Black Dahlia Murder returns. This time around, the crazy fellows co-headlined a set with Suicide Silence, supported by openers Chelsea Grin and Alterbeast at Club Soda on October 7th. Unleash the Miasma and let your veins jolt back to life (pushing the fluids of the damned and all that song reference jazz).

Mix Tape News!

November 3 2014 // CJLO Mix // Mix Tapes

Tone Deaf has just published the track list and a Vimeo video of a mix tape created by Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain in 1988 entitled "Montage of Heck". According to the article, the mix is "a creepy 36-minute production from the young mind of Cobain, which was pieced together a full year before Nirvana's debut release Bleach". Creepy? Genius is more like it!

5 Must See Canadian Horror Films

October 28 2014 // Justine Smith // Film

With Halloween just days away, it’s time to settle in for some cold nights and some good horror. While you can never quite go wrong with classics of the genre, whether Universal monsters, 80s slasher or contemporary torture porn, part of fear and part of horror is diving into the unknown. While Canadian cinema does not have a particularly strong reputation in the minds of its citizens, Canada has always had a flair for genre cinema and horror in particular. Maybe it’s the history of surviving the unknown and often frightening elements, as well as the detached sense of dislocated identity associated with being so close to United States.
