For fans of Arch Enemy, Persefone, Whitechapel, Death, Fleshgod Apocalypse
Set to unleash their fourth studio album “The Last Extinction” on May 22, 2020, Montreal melodic death metal quintet [EVERTRAPPED] are offering up pre-order of the upcoming full-length for only $1.
“We figured since the most accessible place for music now is online and has been for a while, we just said the hell with it, sell it for a buck. We just want people to hear and love it. So enjoy folks, it’s the closest thing to free!” says vocalist James Brookes.
The album pre-order is available on Bandcamp HERE.
The release’s two first two singles are also streaming at the following links:
Music Video ‘Sorrow (Nothing More In Between) ‘ HERE.
Lyric Video ‘Truth Behind Disorder’ HERE.
“The Last Extinction” is a mix of the band’s sound that was defined on “The Anomaly” (2012) and “Under The Deep” (2015). With influences ranging from death metal to melodic death primarily, along with some classic thrash and speed metal, which explains their technicality and diversity sonically, the album overall will give fans a very heavy post-apocalypse feel. It’s meant to mix the dark and light of the end of all things. Fans of Arch Enemy, Persefone, Whitechapel, Death, and Fleshgod Apocalypse will feel the whirlwind of aggression.
Since 2007, [Evertrapped] has brought together their collective experience from the Montreal metal scene to create their heavy brand of melodic death metal. The guitarists Frederick Dupuis (ex-Daggerfalls) and Vincent Benoit hammer out raw guitar while drummer Eric Lemire (ex-Apocalypsys, ex-Ice Castle) pummels the drums. Their versatile frontman James Brookes (ex-Ammonia, ex-One Final Moment, Continuum) easily alternates between strong clear vocals and low bellowing screams giving listeners the illusion of more than one vocalist. John Yates (ex-AraPacis) weaves together each song with his driving bass lines to keep the energy of the punishing track at an all-time high.
Their lyrics come from two places. One from the dark and exaggerated metaphors for things actually based on personal events. The other is lyrics that are only loosely based in reality and have an almost fantasy-like appeal. Sometimes the reality can be based on what could be the actual state of the world as it is or an image of a future where the world is on the brink of an apocalypse. The overall idea is that the lyrics are not meant to be understood at face value in any way. It’s an art form that’s open to interpretation by the listener.
[Evertrapped]’s new album “The Last Extinction” will be also available for stream and download on Spotify and Apple Music as of May 22nd.

If you’re looking for some heavy Lamb Of God vibes, heavier than
the newer Lamb Of God has to offer, this is the band you’ve been needing
in your life. The main chunk of the song(Sorrow (Nothing More In
Between)) is straight to the point heavy metal. Harsh, aggressive, and
ready to go.” – Metal Injection

“I’ve played with some of the best metal drummers in the world and I’d put you up alongside them any day!” – Jeff Waters (Annihilator guitarist)
