Nephelium CD Release Feb.7/2012

Nephelium, the brutal death metal band that traces its roots back to the late 1990s from the city of Dubai, UAE and whom have now re-established themselves in Toronto, Canada for the last 10 years are proud to officially release their long awaited debut album "Coils of Entropy" today Tuesday, February 7, 2012.

The album balances equal amounts of brutality and complexity, staying true to the roots of old-school death metal and is a 6 track masterpiece that truly embodies Nephelium’s vision of technical death metal with old school roots and Arabian melodies.

"Today marks a significant day in this age – The “Awakening of the Giants” and the “Arrival of Entropy”. Join us in celebrating and commemorating the beginning of the end of an era as we cast our insidious gospel on the world." commented Nephelium drummer Alan Madhavan.

Sue Leonard Website Launch

Just a few short weeks ago, Sue Leonard, fantastic vocalist and composer & I (CanIndie Zane) met on FB. Sue aked for a CanIndie profile, and I was only too happy to create it. This is when I discovered this gifted lady didn't have a website.

The two of us collaborated, FB'd each other, chatted on the phone a couple of times togther, & came up with this.
