Hey Metal Heads!

Welcome to our headbanging newsletter. We’re glad to hear from all of you and proud to bring Canadian Metal from across the provinces and territories to you.

In the news from H.M.M.A.C.

Congratulations to Montreal metal bands Dark Centuryand Hollow who were named the winners of this year’s En Route Heavy MTL battle of the bands that was presented by Dungeonworks Productions and Evenko on Friday, June 8th at Théâtre Corona. Both bands will now go on to play Heavy MTL with Dark Century scheduled to perform on Saturday, August 11th and Hollow on Sunday, August 12th at Parc Jean-Drapeau.

The final round was judged by a panel of local music industry representatives that included members of VOIVOD, members of Kataklysm, Jason Rockman (Slaves on Dope), Mikey Heppner (Priestess), Mike Metal (CHOM 97.7FM), Jon Asher (Asher Media Relations/H.M.M.A.C.) & Daniel Glick of Evenko/Heavy MTL.
