Montreal's WORLD ON ALERT Unleash New Video For Their Heavy Instrumental "They Came From the Pleiades"

Canadian progressive thrash metal World on Alert, is sharing their latest music video for the track "They Came From the Pleiades" featuring guitars from Alex Walsh and Mutank's Costa Skoulikas. Ranging from Exodus sounding riffs, to proggy Tool and Dream Theater themes, this is a heavy instrumental.

"They Came From the Pleiades" is off World On Alert's debut self-titled EP released in June 2024. The EP was born out of the COVID pandemic, during which live shows were on hold. This led founder Gino LaPosta (CroMagnum), to create his passion project to explore diverse musical styles and express deeply personal themes along with recruiting talented musicians and friends from the Montreal, QC metal scene for a stellar lineup of guests that include Max Rex (CroMagnum), Justyn Vynn (Orchad), Costa Skoulikas (Mutank), Armen Apekian (Ashes of Eden), John Vincelli (Void Within) and Alex Walsh.

"This is a very diverse album with many different styles from prog to thrash to even pop rock. The theme of this record is about standing up for yourself and fighting for what’s right, whether it is an illness or just internal demons.”

The EP cover, created by the multi-talented Max Rex, who lends his vocals to the record, features a striking depiction of a world on fire, perfectly encapsulating the intense and passionate nature of the music within. This visual representation sets the tone for an offering that is as visually arresting as it is sonically diverse. It is recommended for fans of Tool, Fates Warning, and Metallica.
