Emerging from the Canadian capital of metal, Montreal, QC, Canada, CHÃZO is hitting the scene and beyond with a new EP entitled “M.T.M.D (Maximum Threshold, Minimum Decay)” to mark the latest chapter and a true representation of what their sound was meant to be with the fresh new lineup who are hungry to showcase what this forthcoming record will spark.
Featuring three tour de force tracks produced by Kevin Jardine (Slaves On Dope), the EP is a full audio assault upon all the senses from the heavy riffs to the soaring vocals of Brazilian transplant and new vocalist Mischa M. She is joined by local first generation Chilean Canadian and mastermind Cristian S. along with Carlos G from Venezuela and Alex S from Russia whom all have found Montreal, Canada to be home to breed their self-described ‘Aggro Metal’, which can be described as grindcore mixed with Swedish death metal and a touch of thrash metal crossed over into hardcore punk.
“The sound of the band evolved from, initially, grindcore, to hardcore, to now Aggro Metal. The evolution had to be this way because of the influence of certain early members that were pulling the sound of the band into a musical lane that was not the initial idea. Nonetheless, after the latest band member changes, this current lineup is focused on making the sound that we have developed on M.T.M.D. This is finally what CHÃZO was meant to sound like after many years and many ex-band members. This mark III version of the band is the final evolution in the sound of CHÃZO.” adds Cristian S.
The EP’s lyrics are driven by self-reflection and daily struggles. The inspiration for writing comes from life experiences and trying to live past them, especially the traumatic ones. Using all bad energy from bad experiences to create something positive for yourself and the world. This EP speaks of vengeance and the bad side of dedicating your life to achieving your desired revenge despite your own life and sanity. Brutal Social Justice.
To get a glimpse of what’s to come, CHÃZO is unleashing the lead single “Brand New Cell”, which can be heard at the following links below.
Guitarist Cristian S. adds:
“This song was written in parts, first between Carlos (Drums) and myself on guitar. It was developed as an âodeâ to Swedish Death Metal. Once the song structure was complete, the collaboration between Mischa and I created the foundation for the lyrical content; to which I would finish them up and give a clear idea behind the song. As we are all driven by revenge at some point in our lives, it is also important to not be only driven by vengeance and achieve that revenge. Something that the band believes is very relatable with anyone.”
