Derek Witt I'm a little biased on this release, I wish it had the same power and aggression as that "Constant Graving" EP that was released 5 years prior. But for Chainbreakers debut album. It rules Favorite track: Constant Graving.

Mitchell I love this album so much, great riffs and the perfect amount of sleazy charm. Saw them live a few times and they always put on a great show. Favorite track: Methalina.

PitViper177 I don’t know what the deal is with Canada but every few years a gem of an album makes its way from up North and drills itself into your metal heart. (Remember Chapel??) well it’s that time again and now the land of great beer, ice hockey, Razor and John Candy add another awesome fucking thing to their list : Chainbreaker.

Let me preface this further by saying today, as in an hour ago I got one of those BC emails telling me “I might like”. Well fuck they were right. As soon as I heard that raw, ice fucking cold beer soaked guitar tone it had me by the balls. I got visions of Motorhead, Bathory, Venom, Razor, early Master and even a hint of Celtic Frost with the straight fwd heaviness and attack.

Everything is perfect. It’s not overproduced, the vocals are fucking KILLER! I owe that mofo a beer for just making me want to sing along. Acid drenched, razor sharp howls from hell that are the icing on Satan’s Bday cake...that last line was probably a little corny but I’m so stoked on this album I give no fucks.

Chainbreaker’s Lethal Desire is pure fucking win that pays homage to the greats before them. I could’ve said ONLY this but it’s been awhile since an album has come out that grabbed me by the throat as soon as I hit

Support this band, spread the word. THIS is what metal needs! Dudes just ripping it up and putting it out!

about

HELLS HEADBANGERS is proud to present the highly anticipated debut album of Canada's CHAINBREAKER, "Lethal Desire," on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.

CHAINBREAKER formed sometime in the frigid depths of 2013. The band began as a three-piece in Al Chambers' garage, with Al taking care of vocal duties and drums, Ian Chains on guitar, and band friend Craig Rose on bass. Initially, the band was just an excuse to cope with winter by get hammered and playing Razor songs. Eventually, a solid lineup came together (Rob Ouellette on vocals, Curtis Faux on bass) and the Constant Graving demo tape was released in early 2014 to coincide with the band's debut gig at the now-defunct Izakaya Sushi Bar. A handful of shows were played in Eastern Canada in support of the tape, as well as a brief US tour with now-labelmates BAT in the summer.

The following year, three songs were recorded for the Enslave Your Masters 7” single that has yet to be released, but has since been made available online. In the spring of 2017, the debut full-length "Lethal Desire" was recorded at Lincoln County Social Club (Cauldron's main recording haunt) in Toronto, and was mixed and mastered by Toxic Holocaust frontman Joel Grind. It's also the first CHAINBREAKER recording to feature new bassist Phil Zeller (Rammer/Toxic Holocaust) and will be the first release for the band on HELLS HEADBANGERS.

For a band featuring current and former members of Cauldron, Toxic Holocaust, and Rammer, it's not surprising that CHAINBREAKER suitably specialize in lean 'n' mean speed metal that pays respects to their '80s Canadian forebears like Razor, Sacrifice, Piledriver, and Slaughter whilst honorably adding to that classic canon. All that was crude 'n' rude about said canon - the locomotive rush, the raw-blooded intensity, the emphasis on simple yet exclamatory hooks - is dragged kicking and screaming into the present, under the oh-so-fitting title of "Lethal Desire". Poisonous yet endlessly fun, the album unleashes one mini-anthem after another, each one more rivetheaded than the last, but always in service of the eternal glory of heavy metal. And a dozen of those mini-anthems fly by in a compact 35 minutes, making "Lethal Desire" the perfect soundtrack to beer-drinking and hell-raising.

On lethal evidence of the long-desired "Lethal Desire," in the succinct words of CHAINBREAKER, "2018 is the year of broken chains!"
