MONTREAL, CANADA, July 09, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- With the release of Special Ops' third upcoming album "Through The Heart of The Infidel". The sniper rockers from Montreal are preppinf for an invasion like no other. Catch them live as they hit various dates in Toronto (July 16 & August 2), Hamilton (July 31) and Ottawa (August 27).
Rocking out of the barracks, Special Ops return to the battlefront with a fresh new release dubbed "Through The Heart of The Infidel". In this third album, produced by award winning producer/engineer/mixer Glen Robinson (Voivod, The Ramones, ACDC, Gwar, Queensryche, Nashville Pussy). Special Ops capture 10 jaw dropping tracks that display the creative sound of Akbar Johnson's intricate native Middle Eastern guitar work of finger picking and strumming in monumental riff's and solo's. Complemented with a unique blend of Abe Froman's North American street style lyrics and backed with a well-armed rhythm section of bassist's Waldo Thornhill's thumping acid jazz and drummer Clarence McGillacutty's pounding fury. Special Ops have unleashed a direct hit to follow up to their award nominated "Phase 2: Amidst The Madness" and successful single "Anger Is Creeping", which was chosen as the TV theme song for "The Sid Cycle Show" (Global/Spike/Men TV/)(2 million viewers).
"Through The Heart of The Infidel" captures the hearts and minds of those who have struggled in protest and demonstrates the trial and tribulations they as a band have seen. Everything from one member's cancer ordeal through tour to lost loves to industry bull shit that the everyday artist struggles with. Special Ops bring forward in their international collective an explosive return to hard chaotic sniper rock.

"The Special Ops squad hits heavy with bone crushing bass end sounds as the clear vocals and shrapnel of the guitars arc from the area of impact, ya gotta go see 'em live!" -Metal Canvas CHUO 89.1 FM, Al "Carnage" Carnival
"Special Ops toe the company line through 10 tracks of slickly produced, chorus-heavy, radio-ready metal that oozes youth rebellion, angst and tormented urban decadence at every turn... Special Ops will appeal to many."- Steve Lalla, Hour
