Metal Para Todos 5

Luxgnosis se forma en la ciudad costera de Mar del Plata, Buenos Aires Argentina en el mes de diciembre del año 2009, Con Marcelo Videla mejor conocido como “El Chelo” en voz y bajo, su hermano Maximiliano Ruiz en guitarra y en batería Ariel Sánchez, amigo de la infancia de Maxi, este último luego de tres años deja la banda por razones personales, en esos años esta formación da alrededor de 20 shows, entre los que se destacan la presentación en el Metal Para Todos 5 en el estadio de Argentinos Jr. Malvinas Argentinas donde compartió escenario con bandas como Almafuerte, Horcas, Mastifal, Tano Romano, Lethal entre otras, y un festival de rock en la localidad de Castelli. Al poco tiempo, ya corría el año 2013 y el lugar que deja Ariel lo ocupa un amigo, Gustavo Velarde, con el que habían tocado en otra banda que tenían llamada “Regresión”. Desde esa fecha esta formación se mantuvo por unos cuantos años, debutan en 2013 en el The Roxy Live en Bs.As. para el lanzamiento del disco “Rock Podrido” de Mastifal de donde se desprende un primer Ep conteniendo tres canciones en vivo, y el primer tema grabado de estudio “Furia en las calles” grabado y mezclado en los estudios Home Town de la ciudad de Mar del Plata. Además de los shows locales y zonales tiene la posibilidad de abrir para varias bandas de reconocida trayectoria como lo es Tren Loco, Horcas, Kamikaze, Mario Ian. 

En el año 2015 graban su segundo Ep conteniendo cuatro potentes canciones de estudio, grabado, mezclado y masterizado en los Estudios Atenas de la ciudad de Mar del Plata y cuando parecía que todo iba de para bienes, por temas de índole personal Gustavo Velarde se aleja de la banda. Marcelo López que era baterista de la banda Omega seria el reemplazante de Gustavo, pero que por un accidente duraría poco más de un año, pero con el que compartirían importantes shows junto a Plan 4, Primal en dos ocasiones, y Tren Loco.

Luego de una año y medio sabático, a finales del año 2017 Maxi se encuentra con un amigo de su juventud, Carlos “Hellman” Romano que era batería de Sicario y Somos Nosotros en ese entonces y se sumó a la iniciativa de Luxgnosis de seguir en la ruta, un mes después convocan a un amigo de Miramar que siempre iba a verlos para sumar otra guitarra y darle un poco más de fuerza y aire fresco a la banda, ya para dejar de ser un trio y pasar a ser un cuarteto, formación que se mantiene hasta el día de hoy. Dicha formación debuta en junio de 2018. Con muy poco tiempo de rearmados telonean ni más ni menos que a Malón en Abbey Road de Mar del Plata.

Siguieron un par de shows locales y cierran el año en Ramón Bar de la vecina ciudad de Miramar, Junto a una banda amiga Visitantes del Espacio con la que compartirán y llevarán a cabo importantes shows. Con ellos arrancan el año 2019, corría el mes de enero y en el Teatro Abel Santa Cruz de Miramar se presentaba La Expo “Fotografías de Trincheras” del reconocido fotógrafo Andrés Violante. Siguieron los shows locales en 27 Bar y la Vinoteca y en el mes de mayo vuelven a tocar en Miramar y nuevamente en Ramón Bar, esta vez seria Internacional, junto a Visitantes del Espacio teloneaban a Dave Evans co-fundador de la legendaria banda australiana AC/DC.

Quien comenzaba precisamente en esa ciudad su gira sudamericana, al mes siguiente se nos da la posibilidad de traer a Los Antiguos, show épico que se concreta a finales de noviembre de ese año en la ciudad vecina de Miramar, nuevamente en Ramón Bar y junto a Visitantes del Espacio. Así de apoco se cerraba ese gran año para LUXGNOSIS.

Comienza el año 2020 e inmediatamente sale una fecha, el 19 de enero en Ayacucho, Los Antiguos nos invitan a tocar junto a otras bandas como Anhomia (Tandil) y Gutural (Necochea), ¡y que mejor manera de arrancar el año! En febrero Visitantes del Espacio nos invitan a tocar en nuestra ciudad en El Club junto a El Reloj (Zabala & Frezza) y cerramos ese año en El Patio junto a Fortunata en el mes de marzo. Pandemia por medio se cancelan los shows con Larry Zabala y Serpentor.                                                                                 

Se ensaya como se puede y se dedican a mejorar para grabar lo que será su primer disco, del que ya llevan grabado la mitad. Luego de un año de encierro e incertidumbre se retoman los shows y en febrero finalmente tocan con Serpentor, (originalmente iba a ser en Miramar), pero se termina haciendo en Abbey Road por espacio ya que por la pandemia había que respetar protocolos para realizar dichos espectáculos. No en todos los lugares se permitía realizar espectáculos, y no fue hasta el mes de septiembre que vuelven al ruedo, esta vez seria en el festival “SantuRock” de Trenque Lauquen los días 17 y 18 al aire libre, una experiencia más. 

En octubre realizan el Festival “Miramar Explota” con bandas invitadas como Anhomia (Tandil) y Gutural (Necochea) En Miramar en Ramón Bar, que ya es nuestra segunda casa, lugar en el que cierran el año en el mes de diciembre junto a otra banda amiga V.U.L.G.A.R. y Coral de Buenos Aires para la gira de Jeriko en el marco de la despedida de su vocalista Iván Sencion.

‘Far From Life’ (Heavy Metal)

The band came together in 2019 when Jeff and Jim met Shaun at a Godsmack concert through mutual friends. Conversation came up about original music and Shaun said he’d like to give the project a listen. Shaun was traditionally a thrash drummer, so the music and tempo was a bit different than he was used to, but he added something special to it almost immediately. Chris Fritz had already tried to hire Shaun for a cover band and found out he was joining Jim and Jeff for an original project. After listening to a demo of a few of the songs Chris quickly became interested. (Chris, Jim and Doug have all been lifelong friends since high school) Doug Edwards originally declined doing an original project but couldn’t resist joining the group. It wasn’t long after that the band release a 7-song demo titled Shallow Grave which can be found on all streaming platforms. After gigging the songs over the summer, the group got into some serious song writing and decided to put together an 11-song studio release. They teamed up with Charlie Berezansky of Rival Sound studio and laid the foundation of the album “Far From Life”.
Each member has its own list of influences, but the main song writers are influenced by Black Sabbath, Metallica, Alice in Chains, Pink Floyd, Soundgarden, Iron Maiden, Guns and Roses, and of course Ozzy.
The bands’ philosophy is simple: “We want to write music we would listen to. Today’s commercial metal music market is flooded with a specific “sound”. It’s not a bad sound, but the era of music we loved is the 80’s and early 90’s metal style of music. We are trying to make music influenced by that era yet keep it modern. In doing that we have discovered a sound and style of our own. Please take a listen, hopefully you’ll enjoy hearing it as much as much as we enjoyed creating it.”

‘Aftermath’ (Thrash Metal)

From Ottawa Metal ’80s – ’90s by Randy Chase.“When I was 15-16, one of my first “bands” was the kind where you’ve got a band logo drawn before you even have a song. We were called Assassin–just me on drums and Darcy on guitar. He was the first guitarist I ever knew who played real METAL guitar. Impressed the hell out of me. We jammed only a few times, and that was all for Assassin. All that remains is the logo (in a box somewhere). Darcy Rawlins went on to form Fetus Aftermath in 1991. By the end of the 1990s, his band released two demo tapes (1994, 1995) and an album called ‘Everything Disgusting And Vile’ (1999). Here’s a track from the first Fetus Aftermath demo: http://goo.gl/ZZ1ACY. And a later (but still young) photo of Darcy from the Fetus Aftermath MySpace page ( https://myspace.com/fetusaftermath/). — RC“
FETUS AFTERMATH: “THE ALTER” DEMO (1994)“We never had the grander look of things, or else we wouldn’t have called the band what it was,” said Darcy Rawlins of his band, Fetus Aftermath, on a recent radio interview with CKCU’s ‘Meltdown.’ Love it or hate it, he added, you’ll remember it. After befriending Disciples of Power during their stay in Ottawa around 1990, Darcy and Sean McArthur followed them back to Edmonton, where Fetus Aftermath was, uh, born in 1991. Returning to Ottawa, Darcy found guitarist Ray Fortier, who in turn recruited his drummer friend, Frank. A nice bonus about Frank was that he already had a rehearsal space in the CHEZ-106 building (126 York St.) — the mecca of the thrash and death metal scene in Ottawa at the time. In 1994, Fetus Aftermath recorded a demo at Rock’s Wonderland, just around the corner from CHEZ. The three-song cassette, called ‘The Alter’, was sold in Ottawa at Record Runner, but also distributed in other cities, with a clever distribution tracking technique: white labels for Ottawa, green for Montreal and red for Toronto. You can stream the full 1994 demo on YouTube [https://bit.ly/2D9L39i] or download it directly from F.A.’s old Angelfire (!!) website: https://bit.ly/2RxoQLm 

According to their 2018 Meltdown interview, Fetus Aftermath had previously been to CKCU for an interview in 1994, to promote their demo. The band was drunk and a bit unruly, apparently; a real handful for the host: “We probably gave him a heart attack,” says Darcy in the recent sober and gentlemanly interview with Dmitri on Feb. 19th last year.

You can listen to the full Fetus Aftermath interview, with music and talk about the old Ottawa metal scene of the ‘90s, here: https://cod.ckcufm.com/programs/56/36355.html.
All three songs on the 1994 demo were re-recorded for their 1999 CD album on Withdrawl Records, ‘Everything Disgusting And Vile.’ The 1999 line-up of Fetus Aftermath has reunited and will likely re- appear on the Ottawa scene in 2019
