ALPHA GALATES Confirm Toronto Live Date
December 6, 2007, 16 years ago
Toronto's new progressive metal outfit ALPHA GALATES have confirmed a special live date in Toronto this Friday, December 7th at Lee's Palace. The band will be releasing their debut album, A Stimulus For Reason, on February 12th via EMI Music Canada. According to a press release, "an immediate influence that comes to mind is TOOL, but then it’s not hard to start feeling the OPETH vibe deep within the record’s dark, lush landscapes, as well as a certain ROGER WATERS solo vibe, maybe PORCUPINE TREE, and even, on occasion, some blistering riffage in the vein of IRON MAIDEN and MEGADETH."
A Stimulus For Reason was mixed by Joe Barresi (Tool, QOTSA, THE MELVINS). A deluxe edition of A Stimulus For Reason will also be available containing 5.1 surround mixes of tracks from the album and three bonus tracks, including a special remix of 'Passion'.
