Bio:

Originally going by the name Lord Satans Deciples then Overlord, Toronto thrashers Infernal Majesty formed in 1986 and featured vocalist Chris Bailey, guitarists Kenny Hallman and Steve Terror, bassist Psycopath, and drummer Rick Nemes. A four-song demo was duly recorded and circulated to specialized magazines, eventually finding its way to Roadrunner Records, which chose to sign the band and issued their None Shall Defy debut in 1987. For more info and interviews contact Chris Bailey.Full Bio: In the city of Toronto, in the year 1986, Rick Nemes (drums), Psycopath (bass), Kenny Hallman (guitar), Steve Terror (guitar) and Chris Bailey joined forces and created the thrash band Infernal Majesty.Infernal Majesty's main objective was to write an album of complex and exciting thrash tunes, to unleash onto the ever-evolving thrash market. In order to begin this process, they recorded a 24-track four-song demo at Metal Works studios in Toronto (owned by members of the band Triumph).The demo tape completed, copies were sent out through various channels, and a record deal was signed with Roadrunner Records in New York City. The amazing thing about the signing was, Infernal Majesty had never sent a copy of the demo to Roadrunner - a magazine in Europe had sent one to them with a recommendation to sign the band.In September 1987, the worldwide release of the now cult classic, 'None Shall Defy' was launched. The album included such cuts as "Overlord" which was the code name for the Normandy invasion, "Anthology of Death" about the notorious Jack the Ripper, and "Night of the Living Dead" which was inspired by the march of the zombies scene in the classic horror film of the same name. The title track "None Shall Defy" became the band's first video. They received very promising reviews from leading magazines such as Metal Hammer, Aardschok and Kerrang. Displeased Records lists Infernal Majesty along with Venom, Bathory, Hellhammer, Kreator and Death as one of the main influences on the death/black metal music scene. Fan mail from distant locations such as Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, China and New Zealand demonstrated the magnitude of the expanding thrash market.In 1988, Rick Nemes and Psycopath left Infernal Majesty and shortly after were replaced by Kevin Harrison (drums) and Bob Quelch (bassist). With the new line-up, Infernal Majesty's next step was to record a 2-song demo for a new album at Wellesley studios in Toronto. The tape 'Nigresent Dissolution' was completed. It remained unheard by most listeners as the tape was not made available to the public until Displeased Records added the two tracks "Into the Unknown" and "Hell on Earth" to the CD release of 'None Shall Defy'. A third, 4-song demo was completed with a local producer. With the help of Brian Taylor (famous for his work with Sacrifice), 'Creation of Chaos' was completed with new vocalist Vince, as Chris Bailey had left the band. 'Creation of Chaos' was sold by mail order and distributed by Cargo Records to listeners around the world. Infernal Majesty went on to play seIect shows with Razor, Kreator, Coroner, Death Angel, etc. Infernal Majesty's cult status was solidified with the masterful cover of their ultimate thrash classic "Night of the Living Dead" by Sweden's Dawn. Other bands such as Christ Denied from Spain, Illdisposed and Goddess Of Desire have recorded or played songs by Infernal Majesty. Imitation is the ultimate form of flattery which proves true with reports of bootlegged CDs, live videos, T-shirts and posters.With the re-release of 'None Shall Defy' on CD, Infernal Majesty schedule a summer tour in Europe with original vocalist Chris Bailey. In late March of 1997, a sample of new material was recorded and produced by the band and added to a compilation CD. The CD entitled 'Kanada Compilation' was released in limited quanities. Infernal Majesty contributed 2 songs, "Where Is Your God" and "Gone the Way of All Flesh" which are shortened versions of new songs for their upcoming album. With the re-release of 'None Shall Defy' on CD, Infernal Majesty toured Europe with original vocalist Chris Bailey and newly acquired bass player Chay McMullen. The tour, consisting of Malevolent Creation, Infernal Majesty, Vader and Vital Remains, was considered by many as the highlight of the summer. With record interest wide-spread the band returned home to sign a new record deal. January 1998, Infernal Majesty signed with Hypnotic Records who have been signing Canadian bands for some time, already have Voivod, Razor, Anvil and Mundane as part of their roster.The CD entitled 'Unholier Than Thou' was released on August 15, 1998. A European tour with Cannibal Corpse and Dark Funeral followed in September 1998 and was a great success. April 2000 saw the release of the 'Chaos in Copenhagen' CD showcasing Infernal Majesty live. April 2001 Hypnotic Records along with Big Daddy re-released 'Unholier Than Thou' in the USA; this CD release was remixed and remastered and included a live version of "Night of the Living Dead".In May 2001 Kris Deboer and Eric Dubreuil became the newest members of Infernal Majesty. 2003 and work had begun on the newest Infernal Majesty CD 'One Who Points to Death', which was recorded in Vancouver B.C.In early 2004 Infernal Majesty signed with Galy Records for 'One Who Points to Death' which was released on April 6th, 2004. Later, in June 2004, the band signed with the Greek label Black Lotus Records for the European distribution of 'One Who Points to Death'.In 2015 an official press release and an announcement from the Infernal Majesty Official Facebook Page revealed that for the past few years Chris Bailey had returned to the band and began work on their next opus NO GOD to be released 2016.

Album:

Infernal Majesty are an old school thrash metal band from Canada. None Shall Defy is a staple of classic thrash for most fans. However, successive releases were sporadic and garnered mixed reactions from fans. No God is only the band’s fourth album and their first in 13 years. It was released to mixed reactions in April on High Roller Records, the fourth different label to release an Infernal Majesty studio album.It has been a long time for these guys but they do not seem to be slowing down much, if at all. Sure there are groovy sections of these songs but that has become a staple of thrash in the modern age to sound heavier. Plus, this album is still chalk full of great riffs and awesome ¾ thrash songwriting. It may not be as blisteringly fast as fans might want but this record brings the heavy as well as the speed. The solos on here are pretty good but nothing spectacular. Still, this album packs plenty of speed and plenty of heavy riffs that should please many fans of the band and the style. The title track has a number of particularly heavy riffs for fans to chew on and get behind.The drumming on this album is pretty much what you would expect from a band like Infernal Majesty. Some of it is quite blistering with great double kick and some of it is super syncopated with decent fills and stellar cymbal work on “House of War.” Although very little of the drumming feels original or especially creative, it is played with a power and intensity that adds punch to the rest of the music. “Systematical Extermination” is a particular highlight as it showcases Kiel’s range and ability as a drummer beautifully. This track contains clever fills, fast but decipherable drum beats, a few slow, heavy hits and a healthy amount of variety. It may not be the fastest track on the album but it has a measure of entertainment value that is not found on the rest of the album.The production on No God is loud and fairly clean but still maintains a bit of the raw edge necessary in thrash. Fans may miss the extremely raw production values of the 80s but this is what most thrash metal sounds like in the 21st century in terms of production values. It works particularly well for Infernal Majesty on the closing track, “Extinction Level Event,” which goes from a crushing banger to a vicious thrash tune in a heartbeat. The vocals on here are pretty raw and vicious, especially in the faster sections of these songs. They slow down a bit with the music but never lose that raw edge which makes them quite successful.At the end of the day, if you go in expecting None Shall Defy Part Two, you will certainly be disappointed. However, if you take this record for what it is, a solid album in a longstanding band’s discography, you will thoroughly enjoy it. It may not be Infernal Majesty’s best offering or even a contender for thrash album of the year but No God is pretty good considering the 13 year break since the last album. We can only hope they build on this and release another album without taking one of their long hiatuses.
