Canadian Rock Band Dush Creates Aggressive Heavy Metal Blended With Pop and Psychedelic!

Online, April 12, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Montreal, Quebec, Canada, - Every once in awhile, a band comes along and adds just the right elements to a genre in order to redefine it. Montreal based band Dush, has been dubbed as "bronze" an alloy of classic Heavy Metal infused with Pop, Synth, and Psychedelic elements to create a warmer and hazier sound. Aggressive instrumentals, sweeping keyboard hooks, and airy vocals gives Dush the ferocity of industrial Metal combined with the catchy tendencies of indie Pop music. Their album "Ancient Cities" captures their unique sound and offers a breath of fresh air to fans of Heavy Metal.

The culturally diverse components of the band give them a very worldly feel. Singer Mira Solomon arrived from Israel in 1992 and started writing music as an outlet for the stress involved with being transplanted into a new culture. Solomon caught the ear of Denis Hagalaz, the keyboardist of Dush who had received his classical training in his homeland of Russia. Hagalaz had met metal guitarist Vlad Tomshine while playing on Russian street corners with a Russian ex-pat band. The three melded together right away both with their musical chemistry and fascination with ancient history. It is these elements that give Dush their unique and worldly content, their affinity as a band being one of love for music and the fascination with ancient worlds.

Treading new ground with their style and offering listeners deep and atmospheric melodies is just the beginning of what Dush hopes to accomplish as a band. Drawing influence from each of their individual origins, every song is meticulously crafted and offers a reflection of civilization as a whole. Their live performances have been described as incredibly energetic; the perfect connection between performer and viewer, and the best way to see where Dush is coming from.

"We're not really trying to re-invent the wheel. We believe that everything that can be played and sung has been already composed. Yes, we were obligated to name our style of music "Bronze" because we were never able to pin-point exactly what genre we're located in (when people were asking us "What kind of music do you play" - we couldn't really answer) - the mix of a female melodic voice with a metal guitar and classic rock/industrial keyboards is somewhat unique," they said.

After releasing Ancient Cities in 2008, the band has found their essence and will begin distributing to major labels, grant organizations, magazines, and radio stations. They will continue to tour in Montreal and hope to close the summer break with a grandiose electric show.

Diverse in their influence and flawless in their approach, Dush satisfies a new breed of modern aggressive music. Epic and intimate at the same time, the sound of Dush has been raising eyebrows around the Montreal area since 2008. Expect to see Ancient Cities cited as one of the groundbreaking Heavy Metal albums of recent time and for "Bronze" to become a more common term within the vein.
