about

Being part of the underground metal scene in Southern Ontario Canada for the past two decades playing in bands, Mark Arruda finally releases his debut solo album. From fronting bands like Bloodshoteye in the early 2000s to his current band, Aquila, Mark has played and booked a lot of shows in Southern Ontario region.

Now with family life and a career, free time isn't as available as his younger days. But when the pandemic hit, it motivated Mark to start writing. The project is called Mark Arruda and The Bloodline and the album is called "The Lockdown".

"I've always wanted to write my own album, but I never found the time until now. I wanted to write a fun album that reminded me of metal from my teenage years. Albums like Seasons of the Abyss and Chaos AD, stuff to get you headbanging. I wanted the music to be simple, fast and fun to listen to. I think I achieved that with this album" - Mark A

The album consists of Colin Wakil (Aquila) on bass and Marcus Arar (Aepoch) playing lead guitar on 4 of the 8 songs on the album. The album carries a lot of 90's thrash and death metal influences. These are 8 intense and in your face tracks that get your heart going.

FFO: Slayer, Sepultura and At The Gates.

Desolator have the distinction of creating music that should appeal to any fan of the various death metal sub genres. You’re going to find both brutal (Adversarial Doctrine) and melodic (Methods of Self-deception) tracks; the album has an old school feel while not really falling into OSDM worship. The technical aspect is by no means central, but tech death fans should appreciate the riff craft on display (Creatures of Habit). I even got a Sepultura vibe from the drums on the last track.

Such an underrated, under-appreciated, album. Way ahead of it's time, and still unmatched by any other bands. brainofswine
