Blast Worship: Chadel

Where they from?
Quebec, Canada. The NFL season is only three weeks old and I already hate the Eagles. When you bet on them to win, they lose, and when you bet on them to lose they get a miraculous interception in the fourth quarter and beat New Orleans. Enough already, just do as you are supposed to and all will be well, but fucking NO! THEY JUST CAN’T! SEND THEM ON A GIANT SLINGSHOT INTO THE FUCKING SUN!

Why the hype?
Quebec’s heaviest hath returned with a new split EP that is uh… heavy? I think Chadel’s defining characteristic are the sort of snake-like twists and turns their songs always take on, zig and zagging over and over, taking the listener on a journey to the point where they stop and say “Wow, I’m a listener being taken on a journey right now”. They also incorporate some of those cool sci-fi riffs/chords that bands like Cognizant and Noisear do, which will make you say things like “I’m a listener being taken on a journey and some of these riffs/chords remind me of Cognizant and Noisear”.

Latest Release?
Split EP with Jack, out now on Give Praise Records. The guitar production here is pretty intense, I feel like the dude has literally set up a practice amp in my west Philly apartment and is doing a play-through of the entire album for me personally. Can you imagine that? That sounds like a good Friday night, to be quite honest. That and a nice ice cream sandwich. I am a sad man.
