"It was really great to work with a rapper like Sunspot Jonz for this single, his verses are just incredible. We first met him while touring with The Living Legends last April on their West coast Canadian tour. After hanging with him for those few weeks on the road it just seemed meant to be." comments RH's Deception.
Showcasing a lifetime of musical influences and styles, “Over Your Head” is sure to shake up things up in Canadian hip-hop and beyond. The Vancouver hip-hop duo, comprised of Deception, a lyrical master in his own right, and beatsmith Bear, look forward to unveiling their debut full-length, comprised of fresh and unique collaborations including Vancouver's scratch master D-Rec (POS Crew), guitarist and bassist duo Jason Morley and Jim Bennett who have been performing together for over the last decade, and were both brought forward by "Over Your Head" producer Rob Shallcross, a Juno Award winning engineer.
Morley has played guitar for the past twenty-two years, getting involved with everything from classical to extreme music, working with musical legends such as Gene Hoglan, Virgil Donati (Planet X, Steve Vai). Bennett, who’s played bass for most of his life, also came from a distinct background; one mostly filled with jazz has lead a prosperous career that has even seen him perform a special guest duet with bass legend Victor Wooten.

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.
"Do not sleep on this cat!"
- The Hip Hop Hideout
You can purchase this fine release from our e-store.
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."
- PuregrainAudio.com
"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."
