Mutank Drops "Illuminatus" Music Video
Canadian demolition thrash crew Mutank will be unravelling their newest collection of bangers and first taste of new neck-breaking tunes in seven years with their new album "Think Before You Think" once again on Boonsdale Records on November 29th, 2024 to follow 2017's EP "W.H.A.T.S.T.H.A.T."
Today, Mutank is ready to unveil their album opener and psychedelic monster brigade video "Illuminatus," which premiered earlier at Brave Words. The band explains further:
"This intro track sets the tone for the album with its strong riffs and songwriting to continue the Mutank tradition of elaborate riffs and ripping solos! Lyrically 'Illuminatus' (which gets its title from the 1975 novel) is about power and how it takes the souls of those that desire it the most." More...
Mutank Releasing New EP
Montreal thrash champions Mutank return with a new EP titled "W.H.A.T.S.T.H.A.T." due out June 16th via Boonsdale Records. This five track demolisher was produced with Topon Das (Fuck The Facts).
The new EP from the 2014 Wacken Metal Battle Canada winners is a short, but sweet to follow up to debut cassette "M.E.C.H. Metal" and is a taste of what's to come from the band's full-length album planned to be unleashed later this year.
Vocalist/bassist Stephen Reynolds comments: "Someone is gonna hurt their neck listening to this…This upcoming EP ‘W.H.A.T.S.T.H.A.T’ sort of started as a joke. I just thought it would be funny to force an acronym for ‘what’s that?’ and I came up with ‘We Have Alottta Thrash Songs That Have Abbreviate Titles’. From there we came up with the concept of an EP with a bunch of forced acronym titles. The EP itself was written somewhat conceptually with the individual songs being very short thrash songs that come together to make one longer progressive thrash track, which harkens back to the title since we don’t even know what it is! We have a ton of new material in the works as well, people can expect new stuff sooner rather than later!” More...

Mutank Recruits New Guitarist
After co-founding member Steven "Steve-In" Breen decided to part ways with Mutank in January to return to his hometown, the Montreal based thrashers and 2014 Wacken Metal Battle Canada winners found themselves in search of a new machine to fire up the fret boards.
In a statement issued by the band: "The selection process wasn't easy by any means. Breen was such an enormous presence, regarding one a of a kind writing style, a flawless, yet savage stage performance and overall possessing the ideal chemistry the band needed to grow and evolve.
We aren't just musicians in this band, we clearly are lunatics with instruments, and we need the type who can juggle swords and laugh about their scars later.
"Standing apart during initial auditions was Jordan Kelly, a previous band mate of front man Stephen 'Steve Out' Reynolds, also hailing from Newfoundland who had relocated to Montreal to further his musical career.
"Being well versed in many underground styles, with a proven road ready dedication and drive with musical ability to match, the band decided on Jordan even before Breen had left Montreal.
Keeping the 'M.E.C.H. Metal' spirit as true as ever, Mutank with our members current and past, are continuing to bust heads and wreak havoc on the scene.
"We had a lot of interest shown when Breen had made his choice to split final, and to those who had came down to audition - we say TANK MU! We are honoured to have had such great energy from distinctly styled guitarists who had tried out.
"Stay tuned for upcoming concert announcements, tonnes of heavy new music and more in the very near future. You've been warned......" More...

Mutank Releases "Corporate Child" Video
Coming off this past weekend's Halloween shows in Montreal and Quebec City, Wacken Metal Canada champions Mutank premiered a new music video for "Corporate Child" to fans live at the veneues.
Now the thrashers are proud to unleash it online via their MUtube channel. Check it out below. "Corporate Child" was released in support of the "M.E.C.H. Metal" album released in early 2014, which is available as a pay what you want download via Bandcamp.
Vocalist / bassist Stephen Reynolds comments: "Leave your brain in the trash, you won't need it today. Mutank is back with our first official video for the song 'Corporate Child' from our debut album 'M.E.C.H. Metal.' This two minute fifty second speedbomb is completely self-shot, self-directed and raw as a skinned knee with editing by myself, Adam Reynolds and Justin Oakey. Join us as we thrash-mob a local shopping center, attempt to solve the unsolvable black MUbix cube and flush our brains down the toilet all in the name of good zombie-consumerist fun! Expect more visuals out of the Mutank camp soon, but for now share this with anyone you know who has poor taste, bad hearing and a penchant for snort-wrecking thrash!" More...

Mutank Releases Music Video
Montreal QC's mosh happy thrashers Mutank have posted a new video for the track "The Heavy Hand of The Doomsday Clock," one of eight solid speed riffing tunes from the band's latest release "M.E.C.H. Metal," released this past February.
Formed when three Newfoundlanders crossed paths in the Canadian heavy metal capital, with Ahmed Saad who hails from the Middle East, the injection of music immediately began to flow through their veins and "M.E.C.H. Metal" was soon born.
“It stands for Middle East Coast Heavy Metal; Our drummer being from the Middle East and the rest of the members being from the east coast of Canada,” explains Stephen Reynolds (bass, vocals). "Every single person in this band is a songwriter, so the songs come out with their own feel and develop naturally. ‘We don’t shackle ourselves to any kind of focused idea, which brings about a sort of honesty in the music not often found in metal."
