Bio:

You often catch that look. A band is on stage and all the members glance at each other with that “I’m feeling it” expression. The band is in the pocket, they have gelled and have become one cohesive unit and reach a sort of runners high for musician. This is exactly what happened to Portland’s heavy metal band, SPELLCASTER, going into their third (and Prosthetic Records debut) full length album, Night Hides The World.Though it wasn’t on the stage where this happened, it was in the rehearsal room. Founding member and bass player Gabe Franco elaborates, “We have formed a hive mind together, which I assume will happen to any musicians who manage to play together 3 to 4 times a week for years on end.”A team is always stronger than the individual. When synergy is reached, the group becomes unstoppable and output is at its highest, greatest and most effective. SPELLCASTER achieved this, allowing each individual to hit his peak performance which benefited the whole. Franco explains, “during our first 2 albums we were pretty selective – others might say nit-picky, about what riffs/lyrics we would use and how we wanted to sound, with this album I think we all collectively realized we are competent musicians and learned to trust each other more”That trust gave way to 8 powerful, classic metal tunes. Biting sharp riffs from the twin guitar attack of shredders Cory Boyd and Bryce VanHoosen blend seamlessly with the rock-solid backbone of Franco and drummer Colin Vranizan. Tyler Loner adds soaring vocals on top of massive choruses to create the ultimate SPELLCASTER album.Formed in 2009, the band’s debut EP, Spells of Speed, was self-released but later reissued by Heavy Artillery Records in 2010. The band toured the US with Evil Survives in support of the reissue, before returning to the studio to work on their debut full length. In the summer of 2011, Under The Spell came out to much acclaim, comparing the band to fellow Pacific NW metallers, Sanctuary and Metal Church.Following this release, the band hit the road again, touring up and down the West Coast and all throughout the US. It was after this that band member changes and Heavy Artillery being sold resulting in them label-less painted a bleak picture for the band. Whereas other bands may have thrown in the towel, SPELLCASTER came out swinging harder than ever. New members were added and some roles were changed, then the band hit the road again, while writing for their second album. The self-titled, self-released, Joel Grind produced album garnered the most buzz the band ever had. They toured all throughout North America as well as headed overseas playing through Germany, The Netherlands and at the Headbanger’s Open Air festival. Many labels took notice and ultimately, the band signed with Prosthetic Record and began work on their third LP.The recording for Night Hides The World was held in Oakland, CA and Portland, OR with Zack Ohren (All Shall Perish, Exmortus) handling production and mixing duties. The visceral achievement SPELLCASTER reached has created their fines release to date. Whereas previous releases were often compared to bands that have come before them, Night Hides The World sees the band standing on its own feet. They wear their influences on their ripped off battle vest sleeves of course, but the unit created has given rise to a modern, mature take on the classic genre of heavy metal.

Album:

SPELLCASTER and “Night Hides the World”, this is a band I accidentally stumbled upon one drunken night and bought their music and loved it from that point on. Watching this band break into a good size Metal label with Prosthetic Records was amazing to me and here we are talking about their new album on said label.The album opens with “Aria”, a great fast paced opener that will quickly get any Heavy Metal/Thrash Metal fan in the mood to move. The song quickly showcases the talents of the band between fast hard hitting drumming, shredding solos and riffs and Tyler Loney’s powerful and hypnotising vocals. “Night Hides the World” and “The Lost Ones” are roughly the same pace, a bit slower than the intro and feature a more melodic taste, these are the kinds of songs that would fit into the middle of a live set after fans have warmed up and need a bit of a breather from the high energy movements a lot of SPELLCASTER’s songs have.“The Accuser” is a few songs down and it’s back into top gear for this one. The song is almost reminiscent of a lot of European Power Metal, fast drums, and high vocals with a lot of power behind them. I know the description is fairly vague but anyone who listened to European Power Metal knows the difference between them and the North American sound. Closing out the album is “Prophecy” and SPELLCASTER don’t hold back on this one. Every sound you’ve heard through the album thus far is shown off in full throughout this final act, if you needed an idea of this band to judge them; this is where you should go. The riffs and catchy, the vocals dominate and the song is from the heart, it doesn’t feel hollow and meaningless.SPELLCASTER wrote an album that has soul, has emotion and has meaning which is something you can’t always say about bands. This is a band who clearly loves what they’re doing and you can hear it in the way they write and play, nothing on the album sounds like a filler song, everything sounds like it should be where it is and fits in perfectly. “Night Hides the World” is the bands first effort on Prosthetic Records and I think they proved their place.
