“Very quickly I became a fan of the band through the work of their vocalist Dalyn. His voice is quite unique, being both strangely death metal low and deathcore high at the same time. The riff work of Ryan “Carbomb” Sorensen, and bassist Kevin Student brought a nice brand of brutality with the occasional bit of melody, while Joel Zimmerman (no, not THAT Joel Zimmerman) blasted beautifully on the drums.
This is one band that I know Crown of Viserys will be following from here on out. They outright kick ass, and I am honestly a bit surprised they didn’t win.” – Crown of Viserys regarding the Edmonton Wacken Metal Battle Canada (2015)

Riffs That Kill Booking Agency presents The Canadian Slaughter Tour for Grande Prairie’s Windy City Slaughter. Many of the dates feature the Toronto based Metalcore band Loyalist (excluding the Oshawa, ONT date). The tour kick-off is in Lethbridge, AB on June 5th with five other dates in Manitoba and Ontario. This will be the first tour for the Alberta based Metalcore band and they had this to say about the upcoming dates;
“We’ve been pummeling crowds across Alberta for long enough, and it’s time to take the insanity across Canada! Our former singer had to step down for personal reasons, but we couldn’t have gotten more lucky to have our friend and absolute vocal monster Walker Thompkins of By the Beard of Zeus filling in for us. Ever since we started this band, we planned to take this as far as we could, playing as many shows in as many places as possible. We’re very excited to tread some new ground and slaughter some new faces!” – Kevin S (Bassist), Windy City Slaughter
The tour will feature guest vocalist Walker Tompkins from Fort St. John, BC who sings in By The Beard Of Zeus. Tickets for shows will be available at the door check the Windy City Slaughter’s Artist Data profile for more info: http://artistdata.sonicbids.com/windy-city-slaughter/shows/

Biography
Windy City Slaughter draw up dark imagery through their deafening lows, breakdowns, and occasional pig squeals but the lyrical content defies the genre norm by challenging one to face their greatest fears and overcome them.
Their name is meant to draw up a fear of a rogue serial killer, or a furious storm that is unforgiving. This humble four piece hailing from Grande Prairie, Alberta began in 2012 and has been steadily outgrowing their deathcore genre label by delving into more traditional metal compositions. The band is comprised of Kevin S. on bass, The Zim on drums, and Carbomb as their leading guitarist. Windy City Slaughter is committed to developing their live performance as an engaging and loud act that will lure fans from any metal genre. The band plans to tour eastern Canada June 2015 and has currently released a demo and a full length called ‘Alpha’. Make sure to catch this hurricane of brutal metal as they trek across Canada.
