Bio:
Formed
in 2010, featuring ex-members of Tangaroa, Executive Distraction
Tasks, Hot Prophecy and Nerve Engine. Canaya's sound draws from an
uncompromising urge to play powerful heavy music, pulling metal
firmly into the 21st Century.
The
debut EP, 'Alignment Of Dying Planets' was released in 2010 to great
reviews in Rocksound (8/10), Big Cheese (5/5) and received heavy
rotation on Total Rock Radio.
Gigs
have followed at Damnation Festival, Brew Records, Big Spaceship,
Brainwash, British Wildlife amongst many others.
Shared
the stage with the likes of Narrows, Keelhaul, Knut, Coliseum,
Humanfly, Melt Banana, Hawk Eyes, Brontide and Lavotchkin.
The
video for the single, 'Dios Muerto', became a YouTube favourite and
caught the attention of Ginger from The Wildhearts, who asked Simon
to record guest vocals on his 'Mutation' album.
With
a host of new material, Canaya have released their sophomore EP
'Sealed Within The Walls'.

Review:
Before
we talk about anything lets talk about riffs. I cannot begin to tell
you how many bands out there today could learn a thing or two from
the fellas in CANAYA (Leeds, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom) The
riffs are spot on genuine ,beautiful and one thing is for sure they
get brutal.
Its
like everything that was good about early Mastodon met up with Botch
and said “Hey lets make a baby that would sound kinda like us and
Entombed” but in all seriousness these guys guys are on to
something powerful.
Take
the track “Award Winning Bastard” for instance all the elements
of a metal masterpiece are in line!
The
vocals and guitars have moments of ambiance and layering that take
the feel of the band to unexpected places at times only to be met
with multiple group shouts & different style influenced vocal
work touching on snake like black metal, reaching to grind core &
beyond.
Over
all an impressive release that's worth a few dozen listens. Any fan of
heavy music looking for something new should give these guys a chance
you might just become a fan like I did.
