Canadian dark rock band A Primitive Evolution launches ‘Ace Of Spades’ video
The dark rock ensemble from Canada, A Primitive Evolution, featuring Brett Carruthers, Steph Misayo Seki, and Stu Dead, has unveiled their latest video, “Ace of Spades.” This leading track is from their new EP, now available through Metropolis Records. Mareks directed and filmed the music video.
Regarding the song’s origin, Carruthers shared, “We began performing it live just for fun a few years back while working on ‘Becoming,’ as we were listening to several Motörhead classics. We wondered what it would sound like if we slowed it down to resemble one of our grungy rock jams. We became enamored with the outcome, toyed with it, and eventually decided to record it. We only wish Lemmy could have heard it, but we hope the metal gods accept our grim tribute!”
This single comes as an unexpected delight since the band has been quiet for some time. In their latest album “Becoming,” released in late 2018, they blended industrial, metal, and electronic elements. The album was recorded at Desolation Studios in their hometown of Toronto, with contributions from writer/producer Ian D’Sa (Billy Talent) and engineer Kenny Luong (Metric). Following that release, the band’s lead singer and guitarist, Brett Carruthers, joined The Birthday Massacre as their new bassist, leading to A Primitive Evolution taking a temporary hiatus.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
Since youâre here âŠ
⊠we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we havenât put up a paywall â we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Lineâs independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine â and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
