RIYL = Dillinger Escape Plan, Converge, Ulcerare, Nails, Loma Prieta, Code Orange Kids

“They can bludgeon you with brutal force, come at you with a tech element that can make your head spin and then throw you down with the hardest of hardcore.” – BeatRoute BC

“If you’re looking for the latest in high-intensity, suffocating aural terrorism, then Witch of the Waste may just be a band with the ingredients to become that band.” – Taste Of Khaos Magazine

“One of the more satisfying aspects of being involved with the local music scene is the opportunity to watch a band persevere and grow. Witch of the Waste is a good example of this, having undergone a subtle metamorphosis in the last few years. While their first EP, All Other Voices, released in early 2013, showed no shortage of promise, their newest effort, Made of Teeth, sees the band refocused in a more refined direction.” – Not Your Scene

“It’s safe to say that local metal band Witch of the Waste have been getting a lot of hype over this past year. They’re playing big shows at big venues with crazy lineups and they’re kicking ass while they do it. ” – Red On Black Music

“Melding together very progressive style riffs with an overall punk type feeling, they remind me most of a Dillinger Escape Plan style. Intensity is the name of the game as their live show pulls no punches. It’s in your face, extreme and the crowd eats it right up. Shows with these dudes can get downright violent, which fits the music extraordinarily well.” – Gun Shy Assassin

“An impressive debut for a band with a lot of potential….The band does a great job of balancing heaviness and technicality without letting one side overpower the other….With an engaging debut like All Other Voices to get them started, the future is bright forWitch of the Waste and they are definitely a band to keep an eye on in the coming years.” (Review of 2013 All Other Voices EP) – Sputnik Music

Witch of the Waste is a 5 piece metal band from Vancouver BC. Rejecting the technical arms race that overwhelms modern metal, WOTW strives to reach new levels of raw intensity while keeping their aesthetic vision close in sight. Fast, churning and swelling guitar riffs laid over manic drumming played fast, loud, and recklessly topped off with dynamic barking vocals and high otherworldly shrieks. Influences range from Converge, Oathbreaker, and Ulcerate to Sigur Ros and Pink Floyd. Their music is a terrifying exploration and an emotional upheaval that has lead the band to share the stage with such bands as Tesseract, Animals As Leaders, Intronaut, Gorguts, Gojira, Archspire, Anciients, Norma Jean, Fall City Fall, Havok, Cloudkicker, After The Burial and many more.

BC Thrash Groove MERIDIUS Assaulting New Single ‘Conquer The Throne’ From Upcoming Self Titled EP Due Out March 20

Meridius – Conquer The Throne

https://soundcloud.com/meridius/conquer-the-throne
https://meridius.bandcamp.com/album/meridius

B.C. based thrash and groove metal band, MERIDIUS (named after Russell Crowe’s character in Gladiator) have unleashed their next assault ‘Conquer The Throne’ from their upcoming self titled debut EP due out March 20th and available for pre-order on Bandcamp.

“This tune will get you up on your feet, jumping on your furniture and playing air guitar! Music is supposed to be fun and with this track we’re keeping it that way.” comments guitarist Kieran Marquis.

This raw, heavy thrash, melodic, groovy five piece are continuously writing material and staying true to the metal forefathers. With past members hailing from bands full of speed (Howler), progressive (Equestrian Lord), and power metal bands, Meridius’ metal embodies the intensity of aggression and pure mayhem both on stage and in studio. Vocalist Eric Willmont constructs intense imagery through his lyrics covering dark topics (death, torture, war, and violence) all the while fitting in appropriate dash of macabre humour. Through a collaborative writing process, Meridius construct song after song with their sights set on a full length album and tour across Canada to follow their soon to be released debut EP.

Track Listing: Meridius – Self Titled EP
1. Speed Kills (3:42) – Bandcamp | Soundcloud | Youtube
2. Walk The Plank (5:27)
3. Conquer The Throne (4:17)
EP Length: 13:27
