   About Inner Surge

INNER SURGE - AN OFFERING CD AVAILABLE NOW:

"An Offering" out now

www.innersurge.com

“An Offering” is the politically charged 2008 release by critically acclaimed Canadian metal outfit Inner Surge. With an approach that sounds like Tool, Rage Against the Machine and Dillinger Escape Plan combined, the band fused their own uncompromising sound and message.

A sound that fits the future – this is what your kids will be dancing to in 20 years." - Reviewer Magazine

"Calculated but not overly polished, this is intelligent rock that, much like Tool, isn't afraid to challenge the listener and keep them wondering what's coming next." - CDBaby.com

"97/100" - Industrializedmetal.com

"Learn the nuances of these songs of great impact and intelligence. Harsh but always vital." - Dagheisha.com

"Intelligent, politicized lyrical rants that tackle everything from Halliburton to Holocaust deniers. Proof that not all metal is created equal — or equally dumb."

★★★½ - VERDICT: “Metal with mentality.” - 24Hours Vancouver (Canoe.ca)

INNER SURGE: An Offering
POST DEATH SOUNDTRACK: Music As Weaponry
INNER SURGE: Signals Screaming

Inner Surge is an aggressive, thought-provoking metal band from Canada. Sounding like a mashup of Tool, Dillinger Escape Plan and late-era Rage Against the Machine, the band is one of the few acts "pushing the revolution button" in today's music scene. Crafting their music to reward music listeners who demand more than the mundane, watered down offerings of the modern music industry, Inner Surge has been described as "one of the best imports that Canada has to offer" by RWS Magazine. Reviewer Magazine calls them "the sound of the future." With an eclectic approach, the band fuses metal, rock, punk, hardcore and progressive influences. As opposed to conforming to the 'meathead' mentality of heavy music today, Inner Surge is focused on breaking those stereotypes down, and pushing boundaries, both lyrically and musically.

The band was formed in 2001 by Steve Moore, who wrote and recorded the debut album "Solus Verum". The next album "Matrika", was released independently in 2004. Space Junkies Magazine gave it 10+ out of 10, while Bands United described it as "Disturbingly fresh". Inner Surge's 3rd CD "Signals Screaming was released in 2006 via Cyclone Records. Canadanoise.com says "Signals Screaming is a battering-ram of an album that is impressive and powerful, both in sound and in message. The force of its lyrics is impossible to shut out."

Inner Surge was featured in the new book by Garry Sharpe-Young "New Wave of American Heavy Metal" alongside Dillinger Escape Plan, Mastodon, and Norma Jean. Additionally the band will be featured on the official movie soundtrack for the feature film "Cabras". The director, Fredy Polania, describes Inner Surge as "the next Rage against the Machine". Inner Surge's music will also appear on the soundtrack for the psychological thriller "Amok!", and the Paladin Pictures soundtrack for "Rebellion of Thought".

Inner Surge's music video for "Retribution Song" explores the band's political views and was partially inspired by the Zapatista's(EZLN), a group of Chiapas revolutionaries whom they are supporters of. The band's second music video for "Wolves" was directed by Shaun Friesen of Free Zen Design. The video focuses on art to send a political message, with the band taking a backseat. The subject matter of the song and video deals with the events leading to and during the 1994 Rwandan genocide. The video for "Wolves" can be downloaded at the "Wolves" official site at www.freezen.ca/Wolves or www.innersurge.com.

Inner Surge's newest album, "An Offering" is their most controversial and thought provoking thus far. Taking on religious crimes, holocaust revisionalism, genocidal militias, corrupt governments and corporations, indigenous rights, personal politics, and the decayed state of modern music, the band is determined to be heard. "An Offering" was released through Cyclone Records and Overthrow Promotions January 26, 2008.

Inner Surge founder Steve Moore also plays for Post Death Soundtrack (www.postdeathsoundtrack.com) and the Unravelling(www.theunravellingmusic.com).

Awesome quote;

"Healing is communication; and music, in its universal nature, is total communication. In the deepest mysteries of music are the inspirations, the pathways, and the healing which lead to one-ness and unity." ~Olivea Dewhurst-Maddock

Hope you are CRANKING IT!

ONE LOVE FROM EAST LONDON....


LOVE IS NOT GUILTY

Why is it so hard for me to say hello,
You’ve hit my heart like an arrow,
Give me your endless breath,
So I could cheat death,
I feel your heart beat in my chest.
