Featuring a combination of death and thrash metal, the Edmonton-based band are known to devastate their audiences with their high octane performances that has lead them to share the stage over the years with high profile names such as Kataklysm, Cryptopsy, The Haunted, and Aborted (to name a few). Their sophomore release ‘Infection Legacy’ is the follow up to their 2010 debut album ‘Defecation Suffocation’ and 2008 EP ‘Spontaneous Decapitation’.
Originally formed in 2003 in Stony Plain, AB, Canada, Death Toll Rising have been grinding the Western Canadian metal scene steadily, gaining huge momentum over the last 3 years. New addition Tylor Dory on guitars has introduced a technical and progressive element to the band they have not had in the past. Add in the intense and relentless drumming provided by Bryan Newbury (recently recruited by Canadian prog/death powerhouse INTO ETERNITY), as well as the well-rounded rhythm provided by Drew Copland on guitar and Mike Puff on bass, and you get a monster that is only now being unleashed upon the masses with vocalist Jesse Berube topping things off with a combination of brutal death growls and Tomas Lindberg-esqe high shrieks, which will be plenty noticeable on their upcoming album ‘Legacy Infection’.

“We’re incredibly stoked to release the first single and title track from our third official EP, ‘Left Behind’. The EP encapsulates the energy and direction we’ve been working towards perfectly. It’s a song that describes the struggles and frustration of moving forward from what you thought you needed.” comments vocalist Bobby Noakes.
The EP was recorded in between Canadian and US dates during the spring and summer months of this year while the band toured to promote their second EP ‘Revolution Sessions’, an acoustic version of their debut EP with a bonus stripped down cover of Alice In Chains ‘No Excuses’, which was also joined by a series of in-studio music videos.
Creating an alluring blend of melodious, metal-tinged rock ‘n roll, it didn’t take long for Breached to start winning over fans with their live shows and five-song self-titled EP. The band’s tight harmonies and nail-hitting screams combined with overdriven guitars, intricate tempos and powerful lyrics provide a unique blend that audiences can’t seem to get enough of.

Rocker Matt Blais Comments On Performing At Blankfest-Calgary III; Indie Week + Canadian Dates For ‘The Heartbeat Tour’
In the midst of his second cross Canada tour in promotion of his latest album ‘The Heartbeat’, Calgary, AB alternative blues/ rock musician Matt Blais comments on his upcoming November 2nd performance at this year’s third annual Blankfest Calgary a homeless benefit for the city’s shelter The Mustard Seed.
Blais comments:
“One of the greatest things about music is its ability to affect people. Most of the time that change is on a personal level. With an event like Blankfest however, all the performers have the opportunity to make a huge impact with their music. While some musicians joke that they do this “because the chicks are great”, the truth is they want their music to mean something more and make a difference. That’s the spirit of Blankfest.”
This year’s event will see nine local Calgary bands and two Red Deer bands ranging in various genres of rock n’ roll, metal and hip hop, performing between 6:30pm to 2am at Studio 37 to share their tunes, raise awareness, funds and clothing for the city’s homeless.
Blankfest Calgary is just one of many events across North America inspired by founder Kenn Rowell, who has been organizing Blankfest in New York City since 1997 and has encouraged others to hold Blankfests in various parts of the USA, Canada (Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver) and Europe to help the homeless with the support from their music communities.

Gaining strong comparisons to artists such as Sam Roberts, Matt Mays and Joel Plaskett, Matt Blais’ latest release ‘The Heartbeat’ combines elements of fiery rock and roll with smooth vintage soul to form a sound so uniquely his own that one can’t help but become emotionally charged.
