Tim Singer from Deadguy/Kiss It Goodbye is also featured on a song. Bio: "The heartbeat of any modern metropolis, its anger, aggression and urgency echothrough "Entrench". With full-length number five, KEN mode honour their noisierroots delving deep into fertile metallic Post-Hardcore severity, while offeringtheir most creative and sonically diverse album yet. KEN mode was formed in 1999by Canadian Royal Conservatory of Music trained musicians Jesse Matthewson andbrother Shane Matthewson who were then joined by Darryl Laxdal on bass. Theirband name was based on a quote of Henry Rollins and the acronym stands for "KillEveryone Now". After releasing several demos during the next four years, theirdebut album "Mongrel" (2003) created a strong buzz that opened doors for touringand shows with THE END, MASTODON, BURNT BY THE SUN, PELICAN and THE DREAM ISDEAD among others. Follow-up "Reprisal" (2006) confirmed KEN mode as a newpowerhouse of their genre. Laxdal parted ways with the band and was firstreplaced by Drew Johnston (ELECTRO QUARTERSTAFF) and later Jahmeel Russell (HIDEYOUR DAUGHTERS), who recorded third album "Mennonite" (2008) with them. Thisrelease saw the band embark on a European tour with Welsh rockers TAINT, forwhich Chad Tremblay had meanwhile taken over bass duties. KEN mode's next album"Venerable" (2011) was produced by Kurt Ballou of Converge and the trio hit theroad again with GAZA, BURIED INSIDE and later A LIFE ONCE LOST among others aswell as returning to Europe with then label-mates KYLESA and CIRCLE TAKES THESQUARE. Critical acclaim had gained a level that witnessed "Venerable" winningthe inaugural Heavy Metal/Hard Music Album of the Year Juno Award in Canada anda nomination for Rock Album of the Year by the Western Canadian Music Awards.KEN mode were ready for the next big step in their career and recorded and mixed"Entrench" with Matt Bayles (MASTODON, ISIS, BOTCH). Get ready for a massivepunch in your face from KEN mode and "Entrench"!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 i liked one song from this. Probably won't pick it up. Far too many bands/ releases in the world anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterrod Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 i liked one song from this. Probably won't pick it up. Far too many bands/ releases in the world anymore. I'm thinking the same thing. There's just so much great stuff coming out right now, I'm not sure I can justify this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwitchingTongues Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Ordered the orange version from Relapse the other day and it already arrived. It's a really awesome bright orange. The album rips. More people should be picking this up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
