Created in 2001 in Quebec, Canada, Strigampire has been recognized over the years for its eloquence and the energy coming out from each of its frantic live performances.
Over two decades of hard work culminated last year when they entered the studio with producer Christian Donaldson (Cryptopsy) to record their third full-length album All To Dominate. The first look at the album is with the single “Liberty”, premiered exclusively through BraveWords, which addresses the psychological and emotional consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Vocalist Steve DC explains:
“This song kicks off the album, brilliantly capturing the variety of moods that unfold through our melodies. Although precise labeling of metal styles and subgenres isn’t my forte, I would say it starts with a fast and thrashy riff, subtly guiding us towards powerful and rock-oriented sections, an evolution we increasingly incorporate into our songs. Then, a guitar solo in Johnny Dead’s style emerges, followed by a bridge that quickly returns us to the initial atmosphere, concluding with a warrior-like riff that urges one to wreak havoc all around!”
Earlier in 2023, after 3 years of no performances and adding new members, the band made a triumphant return to the stage and emerged Wacken Metal Battle Canada 2023 Champions garnering a spot at the legendary festival Wacken Open Air.
All To Dominate features ten tracks, including nine new original songs and one cover. Strigampire didn’t have a surplus of additional songs to include on the album, so they selected the ones with the most potential and worked diligently to complete them. The result is an album that is melancholic, unique, and powerful. It is recommended for fans of Dark Tranquillity, Children Of Bodom, and Guns N’ Roses.
All To Dominate is due out on December 15. Preorder on Bandcamp.
