About:

Founded in 2009, Karkaos has evolved into one of the most reputable and celebrated metal acts hailing from Montreal, QC. Melodic yet heavy, this female-fronted band succeeds in targeting an immensely wide audience thus establishing a vast following within just a few short years. With Veronica O. Rodriguez as their former charismatic singer and front woman, the band released their first E.P. entitled “In Burning Skies” in 2011 closely followed by a professionally shot music video and a live appearance on Montreal’s prestigious music television station “Musique Plus”.

Following a great reception and positive reviews, the band was invited to participate in local competitions and perform with international acts such as Into Eternity, Enslaved, UneXpect and Unleash the Archers. Growing exponentially, the band enlists new veteran members of the local music scene before returning to the studio to record their debut full-length album called “Empire”. With a new solid line-up, the band released the music video for “Depths of Madness” in December 2013 and their debut album in March 2014 to critical acclaim.

Forever evolving, Karkaos parted ways with their dedicated singer Veronica, moving into a more focused and professional direction by recruiting Viky Boyer, a young talented extreme vocalist and musician. With Viky at the helm, Karkaos is ready to embark on new ventures, always pushing forward the boundaries of extreme melodic metal.

“The term ‘originality’ is pitched by every single band on the planet, but how many of them can you listen to, and immediately list other bands that sound just like them?” That was the question posed by Edmonton thrash-power-speed metal quintet Ironstorm upon its inception and the inspiration behind its hard to pinpoint sound.

As one of the few female-fronted speed metal bands in Canada, Ironstorm delivers “a dynamic feel, ranging from modern, fast double bass sections to rhythmic yet melodic guitar work to more retro mid-tempo power metal,” says drummer Tyson Travnik.
