“That’s an incredible amount of talent and the end result is ambitious ..”
– Metal Injection
” There are undoubtedly frequent sonic hints that could be compared to the line-up’s collective output elsewhere, yet this is an album and a project that feels more like a multi-decade love letter to all of death metal, particularly focused on forward-thinking experimentation.”
– NO CLEAN SINGING
Montreal Death Metal act, AKURION, is comprised of Mike DiSalvo, Rob Milley, Oli Pinard and Tommy McKinnon…the member’s names speak for themselves. Back in 2012, four like-minded, well established musicians from the Montreal underground metal scene forged a likely bond through one great equalizer; the love of crafting tunes and developing crushing musical flashes in time. The projects dark overtones, textures and sinister melodies are a major driving force and many layers await the patient listener.
