B.C. based thrash and groove metal band, MERIDIUS (named after Russell Crowe’s character in Gladiator) have unleashed their self titled debut EP out now as of March 20th and available on Bandcamp.
“We are extremely proud of this EP, it is merely a taste of whats to come. It is a relentless mix of pit-stirring thrashers, crunchy grooves and epic melodies sure to send thrashers and metal fans alike into a frenzy! We would like to also give a special thanks to Matt Roach who produced and mixed the EP, he`s extremely talented at what he does and were glad to be associated with him. Any bands based in Vancouver should contact him!” comments bassist Peter Riemann.

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

“diehard thrash metallers from any nationality will soon turn their eyes and ears to Canada without a shadow of a doubt…get ready for war with this 101 proof Canadian Thrash Metal band.” – The Headbanging Moose
“MERIDIUS come from Canada and play vicious Thrash, so if you have been a hard-studying metalhead, you already know what this country has been offering in this scene, so brace yourself……because “Speed Kills” starts things with a killer headbanging and mid-paced groove, making you think of the Bay Area scene and the early works by SLAYER and EXODUS. The lyrics go hand-in-hand with the aggressive music that is – of course – based on the guitars, and while listening to the faster breaks, I found myself thinking a little about the German Thrash qualities….Like I have said in the past, EPs are the most effective way to introduce a young band; the tracklist is short but carries the cream of the crop of the band’s songwriting and “Meridius” does exactly that.” – Metal Kaoz
“…whole lot of guitar crunch, along with plenty of reasons to crank up the volume LOUD and bang thy head.” – Metal Odyysey

Meridius, named after Russell Crowe`s character in Gladiator, is a B.C. based thrash and groove metal band. This raw, heavy five piece`s influences range from Lamb of God to Exodus. The band ensures their music embodies intensity both on stage and in studio.
Meridius is a complete thrashing assault on the auditory senses, with a few groovy rhythms thrown in for good measure. Dabbling into a more melodic singing style the band still remains true to their forefathers and continuously composes heavier material. With past members hailing from speed (Howler), progressive (Equestrian Lord), and power metal bands they all find a common ground in Meridius.
The music carries an unmistakable weight from the aggression and pure mayhem embodied in all facets of the musical composition. Eric Willmont construct intense imagery through lyrics covering dark topics (death, torture, war, and violence) all the while fitting in appropriate dash of macabre humour. Through a collaborative writing process the band constructs song after song with the focus returning to performing live and maintaining that level of energy. Meridius is preparing to record a full length album and tour across Canada . Heavy, groovy, thrash metal coming to a city near you!
Shared stage w/:
Fuhquary, Opus Arise, Medevil, Lethal Halo, Unbeheld, Lucid Afterlife, Chilled Clarity, Contrasound, Elysium Echoes, Curse the Forsaken, iD, Lung Flower, Spell, Funeral Circle
