   About Special Ops


BOOM!!! Rocking out of the barracks, Special Ops have returned to the battlefront with their third album – “Through the Heart of the Infidel.” The album produced by award winning producer/engineer/mixer Glen Robinson (Voivod, The Ramones, ACDC, Gwar, Queensryche, Nashville Pussy) along with the engineering and production talents of Kevin Jardine (Slaves on Dope, Monarchy). These musical snipers have been spreading their protest songs for a dictatorship of atomic proportions. Emerging to become one of the most sought after outfits in an age where bottom heavy distorted elegance is found to consort with ethnically infused infectious rhythms. Thrusting with a double barreled vocal assault and securing with a well-armed rhythm section, it is standard operational procedure for this joint task force to be moving to higher ground.

With quick and accurate bombardment, they have been able to blow away North American audiences using a fully equipped live musical attack. Singer Abe Froman with a style of his own and a stage energy that needs to be seen. Bassist Waldo Thornhill and Guitarist Akbar Johnson’s accuracy of a sniper and vocal balance followed by the pounding power of drums by Clarence Mcgillacutty for their second album setting Special Ops apart from the rest. The group has gained recognition by means of their unique chemistry which functions in creating their cutting edge music & blending a form that is curiously enchanting to the human ear.

SPECIAL OPS MUSIC AVAILABLE AT

HMV, Indie Pool, CD Baby, The Diskery, www.opsmission.com, BestBuy.com, www.amazon.ca, MusicNet, iTunes, MusicIsHere.

REVIEWS

"Incredible album! It's a dynamic audio attack that is fueled by the deep tones of a solid rhythm unit coupled with a dazzling display of musicality from a number of genres, such as the jazzy interlude within the song "Amber". Special Ops "Through the Heart of an Infidel" is a vibrant and vital album to be added to everyone's playlist, ya gotta check them out live when they storm through your area!- CHUO 89.1 FM – Metal Canvas

“All in all ‘Through The Heart of the Infidel’ is a solid album, one that deserves attention from fans of Rock and all their various subgenres." 8/ 10 – Confront Magazine

"All the best elements of contagious rhythm, heavy beats and distorted guitars." - Glasswerk (UK)

"The sonic assault begins right from the first track ‘H.M.’, a driving piece of mayhem that gets your head bangin’ and feet stompin." - Fazer Magazine

“Highlights from the album would include “Better Off”, as well as the symphonic and catchy “Feel For You”. – Metal Observer -

"The Special Ops squad hits heavy with bone crushing bass end sounds as the clear vocals and shrapnel of the guitars arc from the area of impact, ya gotta go see 'em live!" -Metal Canvas CHUO 89.1 FM, Al "Carnage" Carnival

“Special Ops toe the company line through 10 tracks of slickly produced, chorus-heavy, radio-ready rock that oozes youth rebellion, angst and tormented urban decadence at every turn… Special Ops will appeal to many.”- Steve Lalla, Hour

“One of the best I’ve heard come out of Montreal to date, these guys really stand out with everything from musical hooks, to mind-blowing, jaw dropping live performances. An absolute must see…” - Citizen Steve, CFMB

“Pushing the envelope may result in critical acclaim….This diverse sound easily sets the band apart from others playing and has earned them a considerable following in Montreal…” - Chris Bumbray, The Link

“A Montreal based band of four guys with styles so different, yet so tight, you’d think they were out of a movie about commitment…..Maybe this sounds a bit eclectic but the music is first class and original.” - Noah Sager, McGill Daily

“Special Ops stands out as one that transcends the musical boundaries, continuously redefining an innovative, thought provoking and dangerously pleasurable sound to listen to.” - Croydon DeMello, The Concordian

“This four man killing team has flourished into professional hit men of the rock scene. Loaded to the teeth with an arsenal of songs from their debut album, this group is ready to blow up.” - Da Miss, Montreal Music Scene

”Special Ops will make a lasting impression... -Brad Frenwik, Antigravity Project

“This band is rocking this town and then some… the madness has been found and must be unleashed. This is the one time you can go out and sweat your self silly, some real ear candy ladies and gentlemen.” - Linda Sckulic, CINQ FM
