Happy new year!

2009-01-13T11:46:00.000-05:00

First of all hope everyone is enjoyed their holidays

Enjoy the quiet time to reflect on 2008 and spend with your family because in a couple of weeks Extensive Enterprise will be kicking off it's 10th anniversary by festivities with Montreal's own the Plasmarifle on January 23rd at the Underworld.
The band will be embarking on their first North American tour supporting Despised Icon on the Montreal Assault tour.
Come give the boys a nice send off and pick up a shirt or cd while you are at it!

A couple of days later we have Funeral For A Friend with the Sleeping (featuring ex-members of Skycamefalling for all the old heads out there),up and comers Emarosa and Long Island's own This Is Hell (a personal favorite of mine!) over at the Tulipe on January 27th

Tickets for both events are available at Underworld,Soundcentral and through the admission networks.

now with the shameless plugs out of the way i would like to thank every that supported Extensive this past year...It was an unbelieveable year that saw us grow beyond our wildest expectations and we have all the kids that come out to our shows,the bands from home and abroad that performed for us, the staff of Lambi,Club Soda,Underworld,Foufounes and Katacombes, the people at Kenmore and TKO and so many more...whos names i can't think of right now to that made it happen.

And if you thought last year was something you haven't seen anything yet.
Love
Dave and JF

DTOX Band war round #1

2008-06-05T14:29:00.000-04:00

Thank you to all the bands for there hard effort and different style.

Hey guys, here's pics from that night... Notice how the signer of thewinning band, Allguilty looks just like Hulk...All this nice sweat should be added to the site today...The madness continues on June 12th...

he Great Sabatini

2008-05-16T08:50:00.000-04:00

A Brief History of The Great Sabatini
The Great Sabatini was formed in a blood ritual in the last days of November, 2006.
Each member had played previously in various underground metal and experimental acts in and around Quebec and Ontario. They met while attending a weekly support group for people with mood disorders, in particular, the rare condition of Cyclothymia.
These strange commonalities created a strong personal bond among members, and was the impetus for each one changing their respective surname to Sabatini.
2007 began with studio sessions for their debut ep "Burning Wilderness". The tracks were recorded locally (in Montreal) and then sent off to Nashville where they were polished up by friend and Rock mentor Steve Austin of Today Is The Day. Shows began locally and in the Ontario region, in preparation for their maiden voyage on the road in March 2008, heading west from Montreal to British Colombia to spread the Unholy Gospel of Rock with ripped vocal chords, broken drum sticks, tube driven amplifiers, empty bellies, a foul smelling van and an unrelenting fury.
Pre production demos for 11 songs were put down live to 8 track, some of witch were used as a cdr demo entitled "Dial Tone ep" to be given away at shows with the "Burning Wilderness" ep.
The band is currently using stolen prescription drugs and a ouija board to help them decide when and where/with whom to record their first full-length album.
Sabatini Family Members:
Will Sabatini-Drums, Electronics
Rob Sabatini-Guitars, Vocals
Sean Sabatini-Guitars, Vocals
Joey Sabatini-Bass, Vocals

SOME WORDS FROM THE PRESS

The music these four men emit is a rare gem in the Montreal scene: heavy, raw, reckless, and crazed yet also ambient, emotional, gripping and catchy. Parts of this EP feel like a stoner-doom trip, and then suddenly pummel you with a huge down-tuned riff à la Mastodon. Bottom line: no trend or scene influences here, this music is straight from the heart and proud of it.
Eric Burnet for Concordia University's The Link

The Great Sabatini have been dragged in from the darkest corner of Montreal's metal forest and set loose with gnashing fangs in their first collection of death-dealing tunes. This cd is everything you ever wanted to bang your head to, each tune stripped down to the spine and eviscerated.
B.T. Bottles for RAGE magazine

...this Montreal sludge-math foursome proffer disgruntled stoner metal rife with odd time signatures and thick, hearty production. Great Sabatini might be described as a futuristic meeting between Sabbath, Sleep and Meshuggah, until you reach the EP's jarring eight-minute-long conclusion, experimental noise number Scene One: Ombu Enters Vixen's Private Moments Only to Dissolve, Immersed in Obscured Solitude.

Steve Lalla for Montreal's HOUR magazine
