“Calling all fans of music in the vein of Tool (yes, we’re talking about alternative metal, art tock, progressive metal, progressive rock, and all of that juicy goodness); please allow us to introduce you to Mr. Devon Eggers, a recording engineer and independent, British Columbia, Canada-based musician whose one-man solo prog project is dubbed Surface of the Sun… Nothing at all quiet about this new single, “The Silence” is a six-minute and seventeen second-long lesson in modern, progressive metal that should find its way onto many new fans’ playlists. Clearly, we’re dealing with a talented dude here; with the exception of the drums, Eggers wrote, performed, recorded, and even mixed all of the music and vox heard on the new EP.” – PureGrainAudio
“If you’re looking for music that will envelop you with multitudes of thoughts, emotions, and moments common to the human experience, then you are going to want to get your hands on Panacea by Surface of the Sun.” – The Littlest Voice
“The Verdict: On some level, Surface Of The Sun excites me more than the new Tool album on the horizon. There’s a youthful excitement and energy to what Eggers is doing that I don’t think Maynard and co. can still conjure in this phase of their lives. It’s a hunger that just can’t be faked, and Panacea has that in spades.” – Metal Trenches
“When you take into consideration all the different elements that went into making these four songs were the creation of one person (minus the percussions) then you can see how truly impressive the undertaking of ‘Panacea‘ was. It definitely should be on your playlist! ” – The Music Below
“If you are a fan of progressive metal such as Tool, Karnivool and Chevelle then you may enjoy this…It takes great knowledge and talent to be able to play multiple instruments, sing and master an album. I give much credit where it’s due on the production and execution of the music.” – The Independent Voice
“Cet EP propose vingt-six minutes d’une musique puissante et hypnotique (‘Panacea’) qui alterne les ambiances, sur laquelle la guitare n’intervient qu’occasionnellement pour tisser des motifs autour d’ une section rythmique en béton armé qui assure l’essentiel de la musique, tout en proposant des mélodies entêtantes, à l’image de celle du premier titre ‘The Science Says’.” – Neo Prog

SHORT BIO
Surface of the Sun is a one-man project spawned from the mind of Devon Eggers. Working on music over the years in the capacity of a recording engineer, he decided to complete a few of his musical ideas on his own. He manifests the subjects for the catchy and melodic songs, and then writes, performs and records all the instruments and vocals save for the drums. He does his own mixing but usually outsources the mastering and has two completed albums to date.
In 2011, he released the debut full length ‘A Dying Star’, which is being followed up in 2019 with the EP ‘Panacea’ that will show further maturation and how Eggers has grown as an artist, writer, producer and engineer.

Surface of the Sun is a listening experience that people can get lost in; it is dynamic with a rollercoaster of energy, melodies and heaviness. Each song stands out on its own while still complimenting the others.
Unrestricted by any other creative influence, Eggers can focus on his sole vision for progressive metal that he hopes will inspire others in some way, especially to think outside the box, to question, to be open, or to better themselves and others. While many of the lyrics may be aggressive and highlight an issue, Eggers usually writes in a way that focuses on correcting or improving whatever that problem may be.
In 2011, he released the debut full length ‘A Dying Star’, which is being followed up in 2019 with the EP ‘Panacea’ that will show further maturation and how Eggers has grown as an artist, writer, producer and engineer.

“Musically, the track (Crawl) is a mix of seething guitar bursts and brutish pounding grooves, jagged jabbing chords and squirming arpeggios, vicious shrieks and carnivorous roars. It’s part racing melee and part methodical, pile-driving punishment. It also includes a fluid yet freakish guitar solo that spirals upward in mad ecstasy, as well as clean vocals intermixed with the cacophony of harsh roaring and screaming in a way that lends a sorrowful dimension to the music, and you’ll come to a closing sequence that will provide good exercise for your neck and a good clobbering for your skull. (The song includes guest vocals by Eric Forget of A Scar For the Wicked.)” – No Clean Singing
“All in all, you will not regret this EP. It is aggressive and well done. Most importantly it is a lot of fun. I sincerely hope that ‘Pre-Meditated’ is the first of many we will see from TripleMurder. If this is how they debut then the future looks very good. With how much energy is poured into their music I would also be willing to bet they are worth seeing live and I hope I get the chance after this. Like I said at the beginning my biggest problem with this album is simply that I want more of it. A lot more of it.” – Uber Rock
“Never to be put in a box or pigeon holed, TripleMurder uses their heavy eclectic sound to produce variety and diversity. There is a lot that TripleMurder has to offer within their six track EP titled Pre-Meditated. From groove filled riffs, to heavy break downs, to searing solos, to varied vocals and more, TripleMurder packs this EP to the bursting point. Through six offerings, Pre-Meditated provides a wickedly heavy yet entirely memorable and entertaining listen.” – Cadaver Garden
“With tunes such as “Boogieman”, “Sacrifice” and “Ready to Bleed”, this EP rocks hard and heavy from start to finish.” – The Metal Channel
“a fine piece of nostalgic Metal that is the perfect soundtrack to some beers with its instant catchy riffs, familiar sound and vibe.” – Metal Noise
“Badass, but in a tasteful way is the best way to describe the debut single and video ‘Cannibalistic‘ from Ottawa’s TRIPLEMURDER.” – Happy Metal Geek
“With bolstered yells, thrashing guitars, and a tasteful blend of both modern and metal sounds Pre-Meditated, the debut EP of TripleMurder, shows a promising future for the Canadian metal band.” – Boston Rock Radio
“If you are looking for something original, TripleMurder will give it to you.” – Broken Tomb Magazine
“The band was eager to showcase their skills (as it was their third show as a band) and did they ever deliver. With song titles like Cannibalistic, it was no surprise that the crowd began to get rowdy and mosh. Members of the crowd being eager to move, their energy being uncontainable that they opted to hang from the venue rafters in their excitement.” – Splice Media Group
“TripleMurder brings that Pantera meets 2000s metalcore stuff in the best way possible.” – Ghostblade
“Great live band and lots of elements of old school death/thrash and modern metal in the mix. Never a dull moment in their music.” – Andrew Depedro Charlton (KNAC.com)

LONG BIO
With the idea of forming a band without musical boundaries or constrictions, Maxwell Fortin-Proulx (guitar) made it a point to collect himself and recalculate a plan that would crush his previous band in heaviness and breathe new musical life into the metal scene. He decided to form TripleMurder after going to college and finding out that Erich Mueller (bassist) was in the same class as him who he had tried to form a band with previously without success. With a stockpile of songs and ideas packed in his arsenal to execute, all they needed was a drummer and a vocalist to breathe life into the incubating project. After auditioning a couple of drummers, Zachary Le May had made the cut bringing with him a lot of modern metal elements and demonstrating the effectiveness of breakdowns.
The songwriting commenced and a singer was found in Mike Eron who brought his very intense vocal style to band rounding out the lineup in March 2019. Triple Murder is here to make listeners question what they think about pigeonholing bands into sub-genres, offering everything from chunky groovy riffs, to blast beats, to breakdowns and two-steps and everything in between.
