“In an age where a plethora of thrash bands are focussing all their energies on trying to recapture the sounds of the 80′s, it’s great to hear a forward thinking, ambitious thrash metal outfit. Canadian Titans Eve have all the essential thrash ingredients in their sound, but they’re trying to forge something original in those flames. Their songs are laced with robust melody, captivating guitar-intricacies, and truly memorable and striking passages, while the powerful vocals of Brian Gamblin provide an imposing focal point. Titans Eve are a genuinely exciting proposition, and Life Apocalypse is quite a superb album deserving of much recognition. 4.5/5”

— Zero Tolerance Magazine

“The Canadians' sophomore retains the thrash shapes of their debut but also allows more room for melody and lyricism to flow, adding an emotive strength to the introspective tales of the human condition, destiny and personal struggle...if the Mayans were right and 2012 is the year we face the apocalypse, Titans Eve are more than an adequate soundtrack. 4/5”

— Terrorizer

“When I saw who Titans Eve were touring with I knew we were in for a quality album, but this album surpassed what I had expected. From start to finish we’re shown off what the band can do, their understanding of their music, and the reasons why we need to be taking some notice of what they’re up to. I don’t know what’s going on in Canada at the moment but if there’s bands of this calibre over there, then I need to be looking to get shifting over there as soon as possible.”

— Loud-Stuff.com

“This is another damn fine thrash metal album that not only brings about memories of times passed but also brings about a need to mosh like there’s no tomorrow. ”

— Battlehelm

“Vancouver, B.C. thrash-edged metal merchants,Titans Eve, wasted no time getting back into the studio to record the follow-up to their 2011 debut,The Divine Equal. The result is a breath of fresh napalm called, Life Apocalypse. The new album contains all the skull-crushing brutality fans have come to expect from Titans Eve, delivered with intellectual impact, and sonic diversity.”

— Metalholic.co

“Thrash Metal is alive and well in Vancouver, Canada. As a follow up album to their debut album “Paradise Lose” they continue to expose fans to a brand of music that combines classic Metal influence that also show its influence from the latest of the new school Thrash Metal scene. Vocal brothers Brian Gamblin and Kyle Gamblin will growl at you with the best of them, and you can comprehend the lyrics, while they Thrash it out on duelling guitar solos. Casey Ory’s drums beats along with Jesse Hord’s Bass will pulse through the music and be a force to be heard. Overall a great project and I wish the band the best on their coming European tour with ARCH ENEMY. ”

“Vancouver’s TITANS EVE have really hit a sweet spot with their second album. ”

— Bravewords.com

“Titans Eve are being outed as one of the rising stars of the Canadian Metal scene and after a few listens to 'Life Apocalypse', their second album, it's easy to see why. In fact it's easy to see this youthful quartet busting the whole darn planet apart within the next five years if they can maintain – or, better yet, improve upon – the quality of material found on 'Life Apocalypse'. ”

— MetalTalk.net

“To not hear this album would be criminal as it is very strong, possessing a contagious charm that will have you nodding your head proud of the fact that you checked the mighty Titans Eve out.”

— RawNerveZine UK

“powerful anthems to sing along to, raspy throaty vocals that are easily enunciated leaves fans able to get into their groove. They delivered a high and energetic set pleasing their current and new fans gearing them up for Anvil’s assault.”

— Abort Mag (Live Review opening for Anvil)

“The album is very fast, aggressive and precise, delivering an aural wall of death front to back. Riffs are very catchy and some very fluid guitar work is featured throughout. Vocals are mix of gravelly thrash and clean styled. This band is definitely a sleeper and with major label backing, can make a huge breakout in the thrash world. Definitely check this album out.”

“Make no mistake this is big time metal, delivered with class and conviction that’ll draw you in after just one listen and keep you in its thrall forever. ”

— MetalAsFuck.net

“Casey Ory has thrash style drums nailed down perfectly and slays on the double bass drum. He is the epitome of a backbone for a band and also really good at making interesting fills and tempo changes. The guitar work is also as notable as ever, in all three categories. There’s plenty of great solo’s to be found all throughout the album, my favorites lying in ‘Road to Ruin’ ‘Life Apocalypse’ and ‘Hollow Gods’. ”

— Emurg.com

“One of a relative few genuine thrash albums you'll hear this year...up-tempo rippers like “Destined To Die,” lumbering, crowd-chanting bulldozers like “Frozen In Time,” and so much more.”

— MetalUnderground.com

“While I was already a fan of the band’s first disc, I can honestly say that Life Apocalypse is a more mature-sounding record on all levels; they have more presence, more confidence and vocalist Brian Gamblin has stepped things up turning in a fantastic, commanding performance. Simply stated, I really dig this disc. I think it is a great offering and one that metal fans of all ages are sure to enjoy.”

— PureGrainAudio.com

“After a brief acoustic intro, Life Apocalypse really gets fired up and under way with "Destined to Die", a real thrashing, head banging song that sets the pace for the rest of the disc. The combination of old school metal influences with more current metal sensibilities is just aurally stunning. These guys have created an album that kicks some serious ass from start to finish; I was fully engrossed in it from the beginning.”

— PureGrainAudio.com

“ blended up into one tasty little metal smoothie...this album is firmly rooted in modern thrash with a hefty dose of groove...should definitely be checked out by any metal fan as there’s something for everyone here. It’s been a very competitive year, but this one just might sneak its way onto my year end list. Hopefully these guys don’t remain unsigned for long.”

— TeethofTheDivine.com

“Just to pick a couple of highlights, there's the headlong slam dance ofLife Apocalypse with its blast beat drumming and distinctive signature riffing. Then there's the high speed thrash out of Destined To Die - a cut that reminds me of Onslaughts classic 'Power From Hell' debut album; a gloriously chilled and melancholy out instrumental entitled A Wound That Never Heals - complete with a rather groovy bongo drum line!! and the divinely majestic Frozen In Time - an true mini epic if ever there was that goes from slow and acoustic to Priest-U-like twin guitar harmonies to heavy as fuck grind and pound and back again. All damn good stuff. 4.5/5 ”

— The BCFM Sunday Rock Show 93.2fm (Bristol UK)

“What Titans Eve has managed to do with an album based on hardship is inject an air of triumph into their catchy delivery. The uplifting nature that saturates the album brings hope that no matter what we face in our lives, all our life apocalypses, the strength to rise above them is within us all.”

— Hellbound.ca

“Best of all, the hooks on this record are enormous, with none of the eleven tracks feeling like a throwaway. The tunes are so insistent and contagious that it feels like they fly by: you’ve got the Mastodonian stomp of “Destined to Die”, the Maiden-esque guitar melody that sneaks into the thunderous “Road to Ruin”, the melodic thrash of “The Abyss”, the crushing mid-tempo groove that dominates the chorus of “Life Apocalypse.”

— Msn.com

“Now and again, an album comes along that, immediately, on first listen, jumps out of your stereo (or, in this case, a towering 2,000 watt DJ rig), grabs you by your scrawny, hungover little throat and screams at you “bet you weren’t expecting this, muthafucka?”. This sophomore release from Vancouver thrashers Titan’s Eve is one of those.”

— PlanetMosh.com

“As I’ve listened to Life Apocalypse, I’ve come to realize that Titans Eve isn’t trying to sound like the other guys. Titans Eve hasn’t run off with old school fever. Titans Eve hasn’t caved into an over-swollen modern persona of sound either. Instead, Titans Eve truly plays their own scorching brand of Thrash Metal. Yes, the overall feel, vibe and sound that Titans Eve has tapped into has given me every reason to believe they will be around in another decade… or two.”

— MetalOdyssey

“The intensity of all instruments comes together very nicely on 'Life Apocalypse' – especially on track four 'The Abyss,' which is one of the main treats off the album. In addition to being an overall nice and solid track, 'The Abyss' offers one of the album's longest and tightest guitar solos, which stretches over 40-50 seconds.”

— Toronto Metal Music Examiner

“Titans Eve have kicked their technical proficiency into high gear, delivering an exceptional album of brilliant, horrifyingly astute and elegantly written material; the lyrics are grim poetry set to cruel, brutal and mathematically precise orchestration...The songs “The Abyss”, the title track “Life Apocalypse”, “Hollow Gods” and “The Void” are outstanding on this disc, speaking brutal truth and cruel fact in untenably honest fashion, their individual tales riding well with the overall theme of this collection.”

— Confront Magazine

“TITANS EVE have done a great job in “Life Apocalypse” bringing a more personal character in their music.”

— MetalKaoz.com

“after a few spins of the new “Life Apocalypse” I can say that the band has followed up their earlier success with an impressive piece of metal... is both heavy and atmospheric, blending blast beats, melodies, and harsh vocals to create an all-out metal attack.”

— WeLoveMetal.com

“Vancouver, Canada’s Titan’s Eve are a nice breath of fresh air in a style of music that seems to be half-populated with Exodus clones. Melody, precision and the very occasional semi-clean sung vocal passage give this album a very nice edge.”

— Shreddernet.com

“these maniacs bring a powerful new cd...A perfect combination of technique, brutality and great musical structures along with a perfect drumming.”

— Aquelarrezine

“Titan's Eve's Life Apocalypse is solid, intriguing and entertaining platter of modern and melodic, heavy and thrash metal, and superior to most of their peers.”

— DangerDog.com

“What you will find on this release is 11 tracks of finely-tuned thrash metal with a huge emphasis on melody and driving song structures. Take for instance the title track, “Life Apocalypse” – it’s catchy as hell, and laden with some sick grooves and peppered with gang vocals to boot. They follow this through with another catchy song “Hollow Gods” that solidifies itself through the chorus and utilizes harmonious leads to help push home the sound. The same can be said about “Divided We Fall” and “Frozen in Time” (longest track on album) encapsulates the melodic feel you will find throughout the entire release. ”

— Blistering.com

“‘Destined to Die’ is the first single from this album, it’s all about personal apocalypse and personal struggle, a general theme of the entire release, the track itself generalises the Titans Eve sound perfectly.”

— Brutalism.com

“The Divine Equal just happens to be one of my favorite metal releases of the years. Furious bursts of old school Bay Area Thrash welded to the modern ferocity of European thrash and we got ourselves a winner.”

— Todd Severin, www.ripplemusic.blogspot.com

— The Ripple Effect

“Right out of the gate “Tides of Doom” came out with immersing double kicks energizing not just the lone few mosh pitters head banging in a empty dance floor but everyone. Titans Eve are a metal shredding machine which made it a shame to see them get the raw end of the show. Yet like any true metal band they played their guts out irregardless. ”

— RockstarWeekly.com - (Live Review) Riffs Not Riots Charity Event, RockstarWeekly.com - (Live Review) Riffs Not Riots Charity Event

“Titans Eve got the chance to showcase its homegrown brand of punk-tinged thrash metal. Opening track “Tides of Doom” of the excellent release “The Divine Equal” got the remaining crowd members going with solid energy and rapid fire riffs. The band also got the crowd involved with a “Riffs Not Riots” chant....The band capped off an excellent night of diverse metal genres that demonstrate some of the best that Van City has to offer.”

— MetalUnderground.com (Live Review) Riffs Not Riots Charity Event, MetalUnderground.com (Live Review) Riffs Not Riots Charity Event

“A cohesive DEBUT from one of Vancouver's newest & brightest, TITANS EVE explode into hellbound fury with thrashing riffs, powerful percussion, & a churning depiction of John Milton's "Paradise Lost". Sink your ears into catastrophic grandeur, with an IMPRESSIVE SOUND that keeps up with the likes of Exodus!”

— RockUReview.com, RockUReview.com

“Between their memorable hooks, song writing chops and high level of professional acuity, it’s about time Titan’s Eve graduated to a bigger stage.”

— Hellbound.ca, HellBound.ca (Live Review)

“they did not disappoint, hammering out a short but sweet set of original thrash songs from their new album "The Divine Equal", including "The Tides Of Doom", "Becoming The Demon", and "Nightfall"! I wanted to compare their sound to a thrashier Demiricous, if that's accurate, but their brutal sound stood on it's own, especially when it finally got some good moshpits going! Brian [Gamblin's harsh thrash vocals suited the songs well, and he and his brother Kyle shredded like mad on most of their songs! Very talented guys! Bassist Jesse Hord and drummer Casey Ory were great as well...][...Titan's Eve were heavy as hell and kept things fast and aggressive to the point where I really enjoyed everything without having to nitpick the sound, which is a good sign! My only real complaint is that their set was short, but I imagine as they release more albums, their sets will get longer. Awesome headlining set by Titan's Eve, I hope they come back, as the Soo needs more thrash!]”

— The Sault Metal Scene, The Sault Metal Scene

“Amazing band. One of Vancouver's tightest metal bands I've seen. Sick riffs, catchy choruses, epic solos, pounding basslines, and.. amazing drumming.”

— Hammer Records Blog, Hamm Records Blog

“In their Oakland, California debut, Vancouver’s Titan’s Eve showed that Canada has got a lot more than just hockey and maple syrup. Apparently they’ve also got a penchant for making great metal. The band is currently touring the United States in support of their new album The Divine Equal, and made a strong case to bring their sound back to the Bay Area. I would say their songwriting left the biggest impression on the crowd, which had great elements of groove and power metal crossed with old-school thrash. If you missed them this time around, don’t worry. I fully expect them to be back in the near future.”

— Bay Area Metal Coalition - BAMCSF.com - May 28, 2011

“Titan’s Eve, making a hometown stop on their current North American tour, brought their classic thrash A-game this night. The tracks from their latest full-length, The Divine Equal, received a leaner, meaner treatment in the live setting – especially barnburners like ‘Nightfall’ and the battle-ready ‘Tides of Doom’...The band stomps around the stage like some kind of lethal, armored thrash pachyderm.”

— HellBound.ca - (Live Review) - May 21, 2011

“Titans Eve (vocalist/guitarist Brian Gamblin, guitarist/backup vocalist Kyle Gamblin, bassist Jesse Hord and drummer Casey Ory) mix traces of Lazarus A.D. and Shadows Fall into their high-octane sound. But Brian Gamblin's lead vocals give Titans Eve enough of a sinister touch that teeters on the edge of black metal minus the growling, incomprehensible garble many bands of that genre possess. Translation: you can head bang and sing to Titans Eve simultaneously. ”

— San Antonio Metal Music | Examiner.com

“Titans Eve had everything that was needed to make for a killer show; solid memorable music that can move even the folks who are unfamiliar with the songs, backed by a tight, powerful performance. ”

— Metalstorm.net (Live Review) - May 21, 2011

“Incorporating the Powerchord show into their 35 date North American tour, main support Titans Eve greeted fans with a no-holds-barred set; a fitting kick off for the US-leg of their The Divine Equal tour. Judging by their performance last night, the audiences in the states are in for a treat. A solid thrash band known for tearing up stages throughout Vancouver and the rest of Canada, Titans Eve is comprised of the Gamblin brothers –Brian and Kyle (both on guitar and lead/backing vocals respectively), Jesse Hord (bass) and Casey Ory (drums). Be sure to keep an eye and an ear out for these guys as they tear up the continent over the next couple months.”

— Abort Mag (Live Review) - May 21, 2011

“A local heavy weight legend Titans Eve ripped into their set and immediately it was clear why they dominate the local scene. Each song had something unique, either harmonized guitars, extended tapping riffs, or other guitar tricks.”

— Hammer Records Blog - Live Review Vancouver

“The record opens with the slow building instrumental “Mourning Star” before picking up the pace considerably on the track “Judgement”. Energetic and almost anthemic in nature it is precisely here that the album reveals itself, settling into a satisfying string of up-tempo, hook laden tunes. Whether it’s the huge, sing-along chorus of “Becoming the Demon” or the sudden machine gun riffing on “Serpent Rising”, Titan’s Eve does a great job of creating truly memorable moments through out . Even putting aside the solid instrumental skill and song writing, it is really this formula of hooks and choruses that will help cement The Divine Equal as a constant in your regular rotation of music...Titan’s Eve are a rising star on the horizon of modern thrash. ”

— Throwing The Horns

“guitars are definitely the highlights on this album with the Gamblin brothers, Brian and Kyle, delivering plenty of awesome melodic and catchy riffs like those from the album opener, Judgment, which sets the table for the remaining of the album. Brian Gamblin also does a very good job on vocals with his strong, low and hoarse voice that doesn’t sound like the typical thrash metal vocals and which adds a bit of aggression to the general ambiance.”

— MetalMadeInCanada.ca

“My favorite song off this album has to be 'Nightfall'. A song that sounds like a cross of 3 Inches of Blood and Machine Head. This band understands how to play Thrash Metal and not make it sound dated. Great. 4/5”
