Press

“each song features a sweaty, aggressive thrash engine that propels the music forward, but the instrumentation is far more skillful and intricate than just straightforward shredding. "Hymn for the Heathens" has a great classic rock feel to it and opener "Titans Fall" does its mythic subject matter proud.”

— Exclaim!

“Hideous Appetites is one of the best candidates for thrash in a while...The opening track “Titans Fall” is a musical masterpiece with a shred heavy intro to the double kickdrum center, this song makes me want to fight some titans with my metal fists.”

— Screamer Magazine

“I love releases like this, independent bands like this should have bigger label involvement, the quality of the recording is pretty damn good, the ideas of Friesen are bonkers, I mean, you even get some almost hillbilly riffing during ‘The Horror’ as well as intense crossover/hardcore breakdowns, light appealing acoustic section, Adrenechrome have a touch of everything. All in all, I am thoroughly pleased with this release, this is a great starting point for this band and this is an album some of the bigger hitters should have come up with. The inventiveness, the delivery the passion is clear and ‘Hideous Appetites’ is a really cool album that crosses genres and keeps listeners entertained and interested.”

— Brutalism.com

“this LP leaves you thirsty for more. It's like crossover EXTREME with anything (groove) and everything (thrash) thrown in to make things extra spicy! This is another young uncompromising band to keep an eye out for. Highly unusual and highly recommend.”

— Heavy Metal Time Machine

“ Adrenechrome’s Hideous Appetites is a gem. While it’s very naturally a thrash record, the way it manages to amalgamate sludge and stoner into itself so masterfully definitely gives it a refreshing, relevant take on the genre. The playing is tight in every department and the lyrics are awesome as hell. Songs such as “Titan’s Fall” and “Locust Wings” are so catchy that they will probably be stuck in your head for days. With that, I think if Adrenechrome play their cards right and keep their innovative style of thrash fresh they may end up getting a lot of deserved attention. I look forward to seeing what they do in the future.”

— ADAM KORCHOK, ADAMUSICA'S BLOG

“The riffs these guys blend together are just truly amazing. It’s progressive, but classic… technical, but groovy… thrashy, but melodic. They have to be a genre snob’s nightmare! The band says they’re influenced by the classic sound of Pantera, Sabbath, and Metallica, but also use the fresh sounds of Children of Bodom, High on Fire, and Mastodon. This has to be the truest statement I have ever read about a band’s influences. You can hear every last one of them reflect in the music, but Adrenechrome has managed to make a new sound of their own, and it’s one you must hear. This band has some real and honest potential, and I am honored to have gotten the chance to review them. Everything about them screams the next big thing to hit the modern metal scene! Buy their album! See them live! CANADA – CONSIDER YOURSELVES LUCKY!”

— immortally insane, THE METAL REVIEW

“ These guys play a killer style of classic Thrash Metal with some Melodic & Progressive Metal elements mixed in. There music is the perfect blend of old school Thrash Metal groove blended with new school Technical & Progressive Metal. There is the right amount of dosage of both styles to come up with the perfect formula. There is some all out riff shredding that takes me back to some of the great Thrash bands of the 80's like TESTAMENT, EXODUS, OVERKILL & WHIPLASH. Some of the newer influences the band has are MASTODON, HIGH ON FIRE & CHILDREN OF BODOM. This is a definite must for fans of Classic Thrash Metal, but they will definitely pull in fans of the new school extreme & progressive Metal bands. I hope these guys stick around for a long time cause I can't wait to hear what they unleash next! Thrash til' Death!!! www.ADRENECHROME.com”

— burf wolf, beowolf productions

“ There is a flow from track to track and within each track that makes each song have multiple moments of clarity and power. Every track has something new to bring to the table without losing that Adrenechrome sound! It’s a weird mix of a multitude of genres with a reinforcing rock backbone. ”

— john roach, x-plosive metal

“Adrenechrome - Theatrical Thrash Metal - Orillia-based metal composed by dirty fucking guys. They sound like if you took thrash metal, Mastodon and "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" and just crushed it all together. On top of that, they have killer live energy. They've got the energy of punks and the skill of metalheads!”

— spencer cain ferri, spencer cain promotions

“While their music is undoubtedly loud -- ear plugs are a must -- the melodies are clearly distinguishable, even to someone who prefers the classics.Unlike some aggressive rock, each instrument as well as the lyrics are not only distinguishable, they are dance-worthy.”

— miranda minassian, packet and times

“*THUD* Will be the noise your jaw makes when it falls off and lands on the floor. ONE OF THE BEST bands I've ever heard... Be sure to bring a towel to clean up the mess your face makes after it melts. ”

Blacktooth Entertainment, Darker Side of Light + The Governor's Ball Proudly Presents: GREEN JELLŸ live @ Hard Luck w/ your comedic host, The Governor! 772 Dundas W. / 8:00PM $15 @ door / 19+ GREEN JELLŸ http://www.facebook.com/greenjellosuxx http://www.greenjellosuxx.com/ FATALITY www.facebook.com/fatalitythrash ADRENECHROME http://www.facebook.com/Adrenechrome Green Jellÿ (pronounced "green jello") is a Grammy-nominated American comedy rock band formed in 1981. Originally named Green Jellö, the band changed its name due to legal pressure from the owners of the Jell-O trademark, Kraft Foods, who claimed that it was an infringement of their trademark. Despite the spelling difference, the new name and the old are pronounced identically. It was founded by Bill Manspeaker and Joe Cannizzaro. They began the band with the idea of starting "The World's Worst Band". The name, which was suggested by a friend of the band, was chosen because lime-flavored Jell-O was allegedly the worst Jell-O flavor, and Manspeaker believed this also reflected the band's talents. After years of success, as well as being banned from many local venues due to their unforgettable and over-the-top stage performances, Green Jellÿ is back on their Jetset 2012 tour. Don't miss another unforgettable performance at Hard Luck on November 29th, 2012! _____________________________________ www.facebook.com/BlacktoothEntertainment www.darkersideoflight.com www.thegovernorsball.com
