reviews
"San Diego's Canobliss bucks modern American rock and metal trends by delivering music rich with melody, progressive arrangements, and believe it or not, clean vocals. This crew is very good! Simply, it's hard to believe that Canobliss is unsigned and generally unrecognized. 'Psychothermia' is filled with clever arrangements which deliver great music. Go to their website and buy this album!" 4.5/5 -- Craig Hartranft (DangerDog.com) CLICK HERE for the full DangerDog.com review! "Why the fuck aren't these guys signed to a major label? Seriously, if any major/independent label A&R's are reading this review, then sign these guys immediately, at least track them down and give them a bit of your time. It'll be a travesty if they don't make it as I think they are one of the best bands to come out of the US in the past few years." -- Steve Green (Live4Metal.com) CLICK HERE for the full Live4Metal.com review! "Canobliss continue their impressive original ways with 'Psychothermia,' an album that grabs you instantly but that sounds like nothing you've ever heard before." 3.5/4 -- R. Scott Bolton (RoughEdge.com) CLICK HERE for the full RoughEdge.com review! "...the songs here would very much like to tear your face off, shred it to pieces, and sprinkle it on a dish of your freshly removed guts... A good contender for top ten lists of 2008. It may even make mine." 8.5/10 -- Steve Cowan (Metal-Discovery.com) CLICK HERE for the full Metal-Discovery.com review! "...if you reject this album on the basis that it's not pure metal, then you're certainly missing out on a treat... Overall, Canobliss have created a superbly catchy album." 9/10 -- Lou (LouciferSpeaks.com) CLICK HERE for the full LouciferSpeaks.com review! "San Diego based Canobliss really have a good thing going for themselves... I will definitely keep an eye on these guys as you should too!" 8/10 -- Dave (HeavyMetalResource.com) CLICK HERE for the full HeavyMetalResource.com review! "One of the most unique independent metal bands making music today... Canobliss marches to a beat only they can hear, feel and recreate for you, and the band is well on their way to leaving the underground far behind them." 7.7/10 -- Derric Miller (HardRockHaven.net) CLICK HERE for the full HardRockHaven.net review! "Canobliss is a group to discover and to follow in the years to come because it has a huge potential of creation." -- Béa (MetalHeart-Webzine.com) CLICK HERE for the full MetalHeart-Webzine.com review! "...inspired and aggressive" -- PR (RockUnderground-Mag.com) CLICK HERE for the full RockUnderground-Mag.com review! (Portuguese) "...an infernal Groove with which charley horse in the legs is guaranteed" -- Xeledon (Metal.de) CLICK HERE for the full Metal.de review! (German) "These guy have changed direction completely since they changed singer, away from bong-rock and more towards progressive metal. Still the best thing to come out of San Diego." -- Decreasing Range (Rolling Metal Thread 2008) |
Nominated for the 2008 San Diego Music Awards: Hard Rock Album of the Year!! "The genius of Canobliss is that the band blends all types of metal, from Slipknot's extreme fury to Disturbed's funky groove to Ministry's political anger to Judas Priest's pure metal. Unlike other bands that emulate their influences, however, Canobliss takes hints of all styles and combines them to make their own. The result is a CD with tracks that will keep you guessing while at the same time keep you rocking ... hard." -- R. Scott Bolton (RoughEdge.com) CLICK HERE for the full RoughEdge.com review! "...their new CD is a slamming and unique offering in the glut of sameness that is metal." -- Derric Miller (HardRockHaven.net) CLICK HERE for the full HardRockHaven.net review! "When Canobliss get it right, as they do with opener Riot, then you can see them hitting the big time." -- Steve Green (Live4Metal.com) CLICK HERE for the full Live4Metal.com review! "Intense, aware and defiant." -- TAXI (review of Riot) "The songs just explode out of my speakers...! 4/5" -- Eugene Foley (Foley Entertainment, Inc.) "catchy, heavy and melodic" -- Chris Forbes (MetalCoreFanzine.com) CLICK HERE for the full MetalCoreFanzine.com review! "I'm a fan." -- Jen (JensMetalPage.com) CLICK HERE for the full JensMetalPage.com review! "They reminded me of... old-school bands that use their vocals in a more intelligent fashion." -- Alan Castaneda (from "as i hear it", in the San Diego Reader 11/21/07)
