Vancouver's teaming underground hip hop flow masters, The Random Humans are appearing on the
hip-hop scene with the release of their self-titled three-song EP out February 23rd on Random Human
Records/Reversed Records. The EP will give fans a taste of what's to come from the Canadian west
coast twosome who bring quick crafty lyrics over intense jaw-dropping beats and display a real
expression of a generation's musical influences for their upcoming album release.
Deception -
With his quick wit and instinctual gift for spitting rhymes, Deception developed a love for
expression through music after seeing his first freestyle battle in 2002. Since cutting his teeth
writing and experimenting with over 100 songs, the Longview Alberta native offers up a steady flow
to accompany the beats provided by the talented beatsmith, Bear.
Bear - A Calgary native, the innovative beat machine first moved to Vancouver in 2006 to gain
recording experience with Canadian producer Rob Shallcross(Chicken). Shallcross, a Juno
award-winning engineer, is known for his handy work in the metal community (Gwar, Strapping Young
Lad, Gene Hoglan, Meldrum), but after being approached for the project by Bear and listening to the
demos, Shallcross saw the limitless potential of these two hidden gems and effected an immediate
collaboration.

The Vancouver-based metal lords have been an integral part of the underground scene for many
years, building a solid following thanks to their self-created genre of Ripping Metal: a progressive
blend of power metal, aggressive death, shred and thrash.
Produced in collaboration with Juno award-winning engineer Rob Shallcross (Strapping Young
Lad, Zimmers Hole, GWAR, Darkest Hour, Fattooth). Omega Crom's debut features their classic,
seamless combination of punchy rhythms, melodic guitars, ripping solos, flowing harmonies, intense
bass guitar attacks and relentless double kick thrash beats.
Brace yourselves to be confronted with "Blood, Steel and Fire".
"Blood, Steel and Fire is a damn good record that will have you snapping your neck with reckless
abandon in no time at all."

"Omega Crom's new CD "Blood Steel and Fire" is a testament to hard work and heavy music."
- L.A. Beat
"It's safe to say featured band Omega Crom blew away everyone in the room, being far more intense
and unique than anything experienced at the bigger show just prior. A heavy thrash / black metal
amalgamation, these guys are ones to watch for."
- Edmonton Sun
"Not afraid to play guitar or sing. Omega Crom were tight and very professional. They had excellent
stage presence and actually announced their songs and interacted with the crowd. They had cool
spoken word intros, lots of atmosphere created by interesting song arrangements and tempo changes.
They were crushingly heavy and fast with tons of ripping solos, but the highlight was the vocals"
- Metal-Rules.com
"Just a phenomenal vocalist. That, in conjunction with the band's overall matured, seasoned sense of
confidence, amazing, energetic stage presence, and flawless tightness resulted in a performance that
no-one in the room could ignore."
