Golers
Formed in 1998 after the dis-banding of Subversion (of which ALL four members were also part of… Walter Mason [Chainsaw Charlie] – Vocals and Guitar Derek Rockall [Henry the 1st] – Guitar and Vocals Stuart Carruthers [Jonny] – Bass and Vocals Jason Mosdell [Cranswick] – Drums GOLERS has built up momentum over the course of 4 albums and many tours. 1999’s “South Mountain Style” ushered in the classic Goler sound combining most, if not all extreme metal styles with punk and thrash into one cohesive sound. Next up was 2004’s “2nd Generation”, which showcased a slightly more polished sound and with these two albums they began to gain a following in their hometown of Vancouver BC and surrounding cities. 2009 saw the release of their 3rd album “Backwoods Messages” which has helped spread the Goler word further. ”In ‘n’ Outlaws” is the first new material from GOLERS since 2009’s ”Backwoods Messages”. The band hit the legendary MUSHROOM STUDIO’s [R.I.P.] with Producer/Engineer/Manager ROB SHALLCROSS (GENE HOGLAN, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, WEST OF HELL) in 2012-2013 to record the new release slated for release this summer. Bringing their very own brand of hardcore crossover thrash with a punk edge, this Inbred Militia has shared the stage and toured Europe and North America with such acts as TOXIC HOLOCAUST, KREATOR, THE ACCUSED, NAPALM DEATH, SUICIDAL TENDENCIES, DAYGLO ABORTIONS and DESTRUCTION. The GOLERS bass player STUART CARRUTHERS, a.k.a. JOHNNY GOLER, was once recruited by DAVE LOMBARDO for his project GRIP INC. The other GOLERS have been playing with themselves for years! GOLERS have this to say about their new release: “We are very proud of our newest album “In ‘n’ Outlaws”, it’s a fine example of what we consider to be “THE GOLER sound”. It’s FAST, EVIL, PUNK-METAL!!!
O.C.O.D. - Occultivators of Doom (EP Release)
O.C.O.D.- OCCULTIVATORS OF DOOM was started as a project during the pandemic with Ken Fleming (SNFU, The Unwanted) on guitar, Jason Kolins (Burden, Still Above Snakes) on vocals, Richard Souque (Johnny God) on second guitar and Liam Morgan (Mass Distraction) on Drums. Over 3 years later, the groups debut 7 song release “The Nightmare is Coming” was released digitally on December 13 , 2024. Though not sounding like the members previous outputs, those influences can be heard throughout the album which is a mix of Punk, Metal and Hardcore, from fast tracks like “Waste of Life” and “M.R. C.H.I. P.I.G.” , to slower and heavier songs like the opener “O.C.O.D.” and “Sirens”. The band will be releasing a limited run of 12” & 7” records set for an April 2025 release. The bands live debut and record release show is set for Friday, June 13th in Vancouver. Western Canadian shows are also planned for Summer 2025.
