With the intense barrage of vicious guitar attacks, frenzied vocals, hammering drums and frenetic bass guitar on Montreal-based quartet The Gods Of Now's debut album Broken, you'll be on your knees before you know what hit you.

"People find us harsh, intense, dirty, radical and different. Is that metal? Not necessarily. It's heavy on many levels but it's not metal. There are so many sub-classifications to passionate music but Broken is intended to supersede those with its forthright purpose and boisterous energy."
