Metalcore/Post‑Hardcore outfit Bury the Past has officially dropped their brand‑new single “Clarity,” now available on all major streaming platforms. The track marks a defining moment for the five‑piece Canadian band as they step boldly into a heavier, more modern metal direction.

Formed through the natural evolution of guitarist Til Dubois’ creative vision, Bury the Past has grown into a powerhouse collective of musicians from across the Gatineau/Quebec scene. With the addition of drummer Mathieu “Fretch” Fréchette (Fractures & Outlines / Soulthief (Upstate Records) & 2025 Wacken Metal Battle Canada National Finalists), the band found the missing piece that would help shape their new sonic identity.

“Clarity was the first song we wrote together with the latest lineup. It introduced a new drumming style as I joined the band permanently. From fast‑paced verses to slower, heavier sections, the single shows what we’re capable of,” says drummer Mathieu Fréchette.

Musically and lyrically, “Clarity” is a turning point. The band leans into a more aggressive, modern metalcore sound while keeping the emotional depth and diversity that define their identity. Though heavier than previous releases, the band emphasizes that Bury the Past refuses to be boxed into a single genre; evolution is part of their DNA.

If fans are expecting more intensity, they won’t be disappointed.

“Heavy, catchy, emotional, evolving, diverse, that’s how we’d describe our sound. “I think fans are really going to appreciate the new direction. Having Til back on guitar is a major upgrade, and the writing process has never been smoother,” adds Fréchette.

The band’s lyrics, primarily crafted by vocalist Charles Morin with contributions from Til and Kris, draw from everyday struggles, personal experiences, and the universal challenges humanity faces. The result is music that hits as hard emotionally as it does sonically.

Bury the Past pulls inspiration from giants like The Ghost Inside, August Burns Red, The Amity Affliction, Alexisonfire, and Parkway Drive, blending metalcore, modern metal, and post‑hardcore into something uniquely their own.

And while their music is serious, the band’s personality is anything but one‑dimensional. From inside jokes like shouting “Tooteeth” (a reference to Til’s cats) to a lineup spanning ages 20s to 50, Bury the Past is a family built on passion, humor, and a shared love for heavy music.

With plenty of material already written and waiting for the studio, fans can expect more singles from Bury the Past in the near future.

“Timing is key, but trust us, there’s a lot more coming,” adds Fréchette.

Turn it up, dive in, and hear the new era of Bury the Past. “Clarity” is streaming now on all major platforms.

==============================

About The Single Artwork:

Simple yet effective DIY artwork for all of our tracks as of now. We brainstorm ideas using keywords from our lyrics and make something cool out of it.

About The Single: (LYRICALLY & MUSICALLY):

Clarity is where the band shifted directions a bit. It is a lot more aggressive both lyrically and musically. Although it does not define our genre at all. BTP does not have a ”limit”

==============================

BAND STORY ANGLES / FUN FACTS:
1. Til Dubois was the original drummer for Bury the Past. He’s always been more of a guitarist than a drummer. 2 years later, the band got in touch with Fretch.2. If you ever hear us yell ”Tooteeth” , don’t worry about it. This is an inside joke between us related to Til’s cats. We take our music very seriously, but I’m not sure I can say the same about our everyday lives.3. We’re the 5 best friends with the same love and passion for music, even with our age gaps. From Charles and Kris being in their late 20’s, Fretch in his 30’s, Til’s almost 40, and Pat is turning 50.

Emerging from Gatineau, Quebec, Bury the Past is a five‑piece Metalcore/Post‑Hardcore band known for their heavy sound, emotional depth, and relentless drive to evolve. The project took shape when guitarist Til Dubois brought together a group of local musicians to bring his musical vision to life. Two years later, the lineup reached its full potential with the arrival of drummer Mathieu “Fretch” Fréchette, a shift that would redefine the band’s musical direction and energy.

Despite spanning multiple generations, from members in their late 20s to nearly 50, Bury the Past operates as a tight‑knit family. Their chemistry is rooted in friendship, humor, and a shared passion for heavy music. (If you ever hear them yell “Tooteeth,” don’t worry, it’s an inside joke about Til’s cats.) Their bond offstage fuels their intensity onstage, creating a live experience built on precision, emotion, and raw power.

Bury the Past describes their sound in five words: Heavy, Catchy, Emotional, Evolving, Diverse.

Drawing influence from The Ghost Inside, August Burns Red, The Amity Affliction, Alexisonfire, and Parkway Drive, the band blends Metalcore, Modern Metal, and Post‑Hardcore into a style that is unmistakably their own. Their songwriting process is collaborative and fluid; every track is built together, always starting with the music before vocalist Charles Morin shapes the lyrical narrative.

Their lyrics explore everyday struggles, personal battles, and the emotional weight of being human. The result is music that hits hard both sonically and thematically.

The band’s evolution accelerated when Til returned to guitar, and Fretch stepped in as the permanent drummer. Both are multi‑instrumentalists, but this lineup shift allowed each member to settle into the role where they excel most. The result: a more modern, aggressive, and polished sound.

Their latest single, “Clarity,” marks the beginning of this new chapter. It was the first song written with the current lineup and showcases the band’s heavier side, fast‑paced verses, crushing breakdowns, and a refined modern metalcore edge. While “Clarity” is intense, it doesn’t define their limits. Bury the Past prides itself on having none.

With more music already written and waiting for the studio, the band promises that this is only the beginning.

Bury the Past’s live shows are defined by energy, tight musicianship, and authenticity. They don’t compare themselves to other bands; they simply aim to deliver the most powerful version of themselves every time they step onstage and pave the way as a rising force in the Quebec heavy music scene.

With a growing discography, a sharpened sound, and a lineup firing on all cylinders, Bury the Past are entering their strongest era yet. Their evolution is ongoing, their creativity is limitless, and their commitment to their craft is unwavering.

Bury the Past is more than a band; it’s a brotherhood, a creative force, and a testament to the power of heavy music to connect, heal, and evolve.
