Created in 2001 in Quebec, Canada, Strigampire has been recognized over the years for its eloquence and the energy coming out from each of its frantic live performances. Over two decades of hard work culminated last year when they entered the studio with producer Christian Donaldson (Cryptopsy) to record their highly anticipated third full-length album “All To Dominate”. The first look at the album is with the single “Liberty”, which addresses the psychological and emotional consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. Vocalist Steve DC explains:
“This song kicks off the album, brilliantly capturing the variety of moods that unfold through our melodies. Although precise labeling of metal styles and subgenres isn’t my forte, I would say it starts with a fast and thrashy riff, subtly guiding us towards powerful and rock-oriented sections, an evolution we increasingly incorporate into our songs. Then, a guitar solo in Johnny Dead’s style emerges, followed by a bridge that quickly returns us to the initial atmosphere, concluding with a warrior-like riff that urges one to wreak havoc all around!”
Earlier this year, after 3 years of no performances and adding new members, the band made a triumphant return to the stage and emerged Wacken Metal Battle Canada 2023 Champions garnering a spot at the legendary festival Wacken Open Air.
“All To Dominate” features 10 tracks, including 9 new original songs and one cover. Strigampire didn’t have a surplus of additional songs to include on the album, so they selected the ones with the most potential and worked diligently to complete them. The result is an album that is melancholic, unique, and powerful. It is recommended for fans of Dark Tranquillity, Children Of Bodom, Arch Enemy, and At The Gates.

“All To Dominate” is due out on December 15, 2023, and is available for pre-order (CD/Digital) at https://strigampire.bandcamp.com.

“Charisma, efficiency, and talent are three fitting words to describe Strigampire’s performance. With music that blends the finest elements of black metal and melodic death metal, and a phenomenal stage presence.” Fred Laroche – Capitale Du Métal
“This group is a treasure from Quebec and they did not come back from Wacken Open Air in Germany for nothing, they were finally noticed after years of work and it is well deserved because they are in their place performing in front of us with such conviction. We are talking about musicians of great quality with a lot of movement despite the difficulty of what they play most of the time. I would have loved for them to play on the big stage with the big sound, but it was Mononc Serge and Anonymus who were coming to close the long day of festivities.” – Metal Universe
“A music group from Trois-Rivières, Strigampire, will participate in the most important death metal festival, Wacken Open Air, this summer in Germany.” CBC Radio Canada
“It’s the story of five teenagers who form a musical group at the age of 15. They rehearse at school at lunchtime, in their parents’ basement or garage in the evenings and on weekends. They have nourished their passion for more than 20 years. They could never have suspected that this adventure would lead them to the most prestigious international heavy metal music competition. The Strigampire group from Trois-Rivières will represent Canada at the Wacken Battle Music in Germany on August 2.” – L’Hebdo Journal
“Throughout the album (One Fix, Nine Clouds and Six Feet Deep), the Canadian quintet walk the line between throat-shredding aggression and accessible melodies.” – Decibel Magazine
“Strigampire are a melodic death metal band offering a unique blend of aggression, bitterness and power combined with a rock and roll attitude.” – La Grosse Radio Metal
““The Only Hell I Know” balances between ripping vocals and galloping, melodic riffs.” – Decibel Magazine (2018 – One Fix, Nine Clouds and Six Feet Deep)
“If a combo has reached a level like STRIGAMPIRE on “One Fix, Nine Clouds & Six Feet Deep”, you can’t make enough use of it. Two thumbs up for this fine piece of melodic death lead entertainment!” – PowerMetal.de
