Under Aspect, a sound tainted with heavy riffs and addictive melodies, invites new-metal fans to see a whole new universe of hard pounding music. Inspired by bands such as Deftones, Sevendust, Tool, Portishead, Chevelle, Korn and Killswitch Engage, the five piece band quickly cooked the right recipe to get a warm place among the enormous Montreal music scene. With over 50 scenic apparitions for their first year playing together, they earned the price for the band with the most impressive performances in the 2006-2007 MAD production’s tour presented by Musique Plus. This mention gave them a chance to show a big audience what they could do on the Club Soda’s Stage by performing their piece of resistance Click! Bang! & Goodbye. This very same piece opens with energy their new album «Became Mechanical». This first opus was entirely produced by the five members who felt the need to evolve freely in their art. The finished, yet not mastered project, was put in the hands of Jeff Fortin, guitarist for Anonymus (Galy Records) who added the professional spice in Hugues Bouchard’s work, young drummer of the formation (Rec productions).
The chemistry that unites the five protagonists offers a totally new aspect of what a show signifies to some people. The interaction with the crowd seems to be right formula which the band adopted throughout Quebec. With the experience acquired, they were ready to entertain fans of Anonymus, Vulgaires Machins, Alcoholica, GFK, and more.
Built from 13 somewhat provocative songs, the album steps firmly into the enemy camp. Not to make noise, but to clear up the terrain. Liberty of expression, passion and anthropologic questionings are all part of de lyricist’s way of telling the stories. Stories that sometimes feel like a slap in the face.
Under Aspect was formed in March 2006 in St-Jean-Sur-Richelieu, a small city near Montreal. Composed of five members, Hugues Bouchard on drums, Charles Courteau and Jean-François Lafaille on guitars, David Lessard on vocals and Carl C.Dubreuil on bass, Under Aspect quickly took the first place at the Farnham Skatefest’s contest, earning a studio recording session, which gave birth to their first demo «In Queued». With over 200 copies sold at shows in the last year, it was only the beginning of what was to come.
«Became Mechanical» was launched in September 2007-10-08, in the band’s home town, St-Jean-Sur-Richelieu. The place was almost at full capacity, and when the first notes were heard, moshpits, trash and headbanging followed every riff. With 237 copies sold in the first week, the band is fully motivated in playing many shows all around Quebec to promote their new born. So keep an eye open, they might just perform on a stage near you.
