Discography:
Self-titled EP – 2014
Infection Born of Ending – 2015
Biography
Creaking, bleak and articulate in its fury, Idolatry perform dynamic black metal that is at once cold and calculating, and then a schizophrenic catharsis. Comprised of members from Edmonton’s finest pedigree of extreme metal with singular vision to be old Norway’s soldier in Canada’s frozen tundra of misery. Live, Idolatry is corpse painted, spiked, and manic, raiding crowds of their attention to all else….terrifying. At the pen, Idolatry is wise and ancient. Heavily steeped in philosophy and the defense of Atheistic Satanism and the expulsion of abhorrent inner turmoil.
Fear what is coming….. Lest the mirrors paint your face in our madness.
“Idolatry creates basic black metal with a flowing melodic inner structure despite its raw exterior. The strikingly morose atmosphere of the music is what appealed to me the most.” – Deathmetal.org
“The music gets under your skin and writhes like worms in your head. Its dismal melodies tend to stay in your head, too. The finishing instrumental segment over the video’s closing credits is eerie, dramatic, and powerful — and it offers no hope either” – NoCleanSinging.com
Dreadful, horrifying, and ear shattering black metal emanates like some kind of noxious fog from my speakers, enveloping my very being with its disgusting, cathartic wails. This must be Idolatry, and their debut release.

These guys don’t just write riffs, they craft songs and that’s the best compliment I can give any band. I look forward to hearing a full length from these guys as if they can keep up this kind of quality over the course of a full album then they will definitely be a forced to be reckoned with on the metal scene.- That Metal Station
“In their punishing debut, Calgary metal trio False Flag skirt between multiple sub-genres while never fully committing to one. As such, they’ve created something original and crushing that is never cliché.” – Sarah Kitteringham, BeatRoute
“…With their punkified Meshuggah-esque guitar judding, and powerful howling vocals, they got the crowd moving.” – Beatroute
“What metal is lacking is more bands like False Flag who realize how vast the genre is, how much imagery, lyrical themes and sounds are available, and who take only what is right for them to make their music, without being embarrassed or strident about the boundaries.” – Gareth Watkins, BeatRoute,

False Flag – Nest of Vipers EP – Nest of Vipers Tour
Calgary’s down-tuned super group False Flag are a heavy hitting 4 piece that produce loud groovy metal.
Formed in 2012 as a side project for Russ Gauthier (Lordosis, Meggido, and We Found The Body) and Nick Purdy (Meggido). They soon recruited Garrett McElroy (AfterEarth) as a bass player and recorded their first EP (Orobas) at Garrett’s apartment studio.
Prior to performing at Calgary Metalfest, and Vernstock the band recruited Dan Ishak (Meggido, Stinger) on bass as Garrett’s band Afterearth was picking up steam. In January 2014 False Flag started recording the full length album “Suffer In Silence”. Finally guitarist Mike Harach (Meggido, Stinger) was added and solidified the bands thick live sound. John Byskal (We Found The Body) joined the band (replacing Nick Purdy) in February 2015 and their lineup was settled.
False Flag is currently in the studio recording their 3rd release, “Nest Of Vipers” EP. The EP will be released August 4th, 2015 and will start with an Alberta/Saskatchewan tour July 2015.

EP Teaser Video – https://youtu.be/q4LBM02x9do
Rejecting the technical arms race that overwhelms modern metal, Vancouver, BC’sWITCH OF THE WASTE strives to reach new levels of raw intensity while keeping their aesthetic vision close in sight. Unleashing their new EP ‘Made of Teeth’ out today, March 24th to follow up 2013’s debut ‘All Other Voices‘, they offer fast, churning and swelling guitar riffs laid over manic loud drumming topped off with dynamic barking vocals and high otherworldly shrieks. Influences range from Converge, Oathbreaker, and Ulcerate to Sigur Ros and Pink Floyd. Their music is a terrifying exploration and an emotional upheaval that has lead the band to share the stage with such bands as Tesseract, Animals As Leaders, Intronaut, Gorguts, Gojira, Archspire, Anciients, Norma Jean, Fall City Fall, Havok, Cloudkicker, After The Burial and many more.
Vocalist Ryan Fitzgerald comments:
“For us, the lines that exist between hardcore metal and punk are more closely associated with our moods than our tastes. We have always been fans of music in all its forms and we attempted to channel all of that all at once. We wanted each riff to carry that weight. Because of that we feel we have made something very personal to us and we have always felt that artistic expression should always be valued above all else. When you hear ‘Made of Teeth’ you aren’t listening to five guys who wanted to sound like a mix between the Jolly Green Giants and the Shitty Beetles. You are listening to something more primitive and elemental. The way this music was always meant to be.”
‘Made of Teeth’ EP is streaming and available on vinyl and FREE download on the band’s bandcamp here.
EP Track Listing – Witch of The Waste – Made of Teeth:
1 – That Door Cannot Be Opened (1:29)
2 – They Haunt Minds (2:27)

“They can bludgeon you with brutal force, come at you with a tech element that can make your head spin and then throw you down with the hardest of hardcore.” – BeatRoute BC
“One of the more satisfying aspects of being involved with the local music scene is the opportunity to watch a band persevere and grow. Witch of the Waste is a good example of this, having undergone a subtle metamorphosis in the last few years. While their first EP, All Other Voices, released in early 2013, showed no shortage of promise, their newest effort, Made of Teeth, sees the band refocused in a more refined direction.” – Not Your Scene
“It’s safe to say that local metal band Witch of the Waste have been getting a lot of hype over this past year. They’re playing big shows at big venues with crazy lineups and they’re kicking ass while they do it. ” – Red On Black Music
“Melding together very progressive style riffs with an overall punk type feeling, they remind me most of a Dillinger Escape Plan style. Intensity is the name of the game as their live show pulls no punches. It’s in your face, extreme and the crowd eats it right up. Shows with these dudes can get downright violent, which fits the music extraordinarily well.” – Gun Shy Assassin
“An impressive debut for a band with a lot of potential….The band does a great job of balancing heaviness and technicality without letting one side overpower the other….With an engaging debut like All Other Voices to get them started, the future is bright for Witch of the Waste and they are definitely a band to keep an eye on in the coming years.” (Review of 2013 All Other Voices EP) – Sputnik Music

Presents
Mongol (Devon, AB)
https://www.facebook.com/MongolCanada
Forged in the frozen bowels of Devon, Alberta, by members, Tegri, Zev, and Bourchi. The folk metal act “Mongol”, pays homage to the Mongolian Empire of old. Blending heavy melodic riffs, with an array of folk instruments, and Asian harmonies, Mongol creates a sound that stands apart from any other Folk Metal band.
Tyrant ( Edmonton, AB)
https://www.facebook.com/tyrantcanada
Tyrant is a five-piece heavy metal band hailing from the small town of Gibbons, Alberta. Influenced by bands like Metallica, As I Lay Dying, Lamb of God, and Sylosis, the band combines modern metal with classic thrash metal. Tyrant’s melodic lead lines, shredding solos and powerful screams create high-energy songs, which bleed into their live show. Tyrant’s live performances include heavy music, lots of head banging, and usually at least one member of the band in the crowd moshing.
Black Collar ( Srpuce Grove, AB)
https://www.facebook.com/BlackCollarBand
Black Collar has a straight up fucked up kind of metal brand that they bring to every show. With a metal sensation that feels like its straight out of the 90’s along side bands like Pantera and Exodus. you will find it hard not to throw down to their tunes while they are on stage.
And
Ravage Red
https://www.facebook.com/RavageRedBand
DEBUT SHOW**
Ravage Red will be making this their Debut show and what a show to play. Ravage Red is a five-piece metal band from the surrounding Edmonton area. Thrash, groove, and overall aggression from Mike (drums), Spencer (guitar), Cody (guitar), Lucas (bass) and Billy (vocals) will leave you no option but to bang your head!
About:
Farmageddon Open- Air was conceived in 2012 by Tyson Travnik whom is recognized in the Alberta metal scene through sound engineering duties and promotional services. After noticing the 70,000 Tons of Metal cruise, Travnik wanted to re-create the intimate setting and host a festival with no internal borders in the Edmonton area.
After two very successful years, Farmageddon Open Air has proven to be one of the most prestigious metal open-air festivals in Canada with quality production that has been highly regarded by bands and patrons alike. The festival falls into a special category with Travnik setting goals of bringing in top-shelf bands that rarely, if ever play Canada. The costs of doing so are reflected in the ticket price with maximum attendance numbers not being something on the agenda. Keeping an intimate setting between the bands and their fans along with growth of the metal sub-culture to aid in promoting some of the hardest working bands in the country is at the forefront of Farmageddon’s priority.
Each year, the festival has hosted over 30 bands, with the request reaching as far as Europe and Asia. Farmageddon prides itself in only selecting the bands that the organizers feel have proven themselves worthy of the festival. This is not based on show attendance figures, but rather by judging the work ethic of the band throughout the previous year. With many new features and additions planned for Farmageddon 2015, organizers are pushing forward to double the attendance numbers from 2014.
Pre-sale tickets info:

About:
Initially never planning to release his music compositions beyond the borders of just song writing, freelance drummer / instructor Sean Lang was urged by his circle of musician friends whom heard his material to take his creativity to the next level.
The outcome is Seven Year Storm, which showcases Lang’s unique sound, music arrangements written entirely by him plus guitarist Dean Lamb (Archspire) whom handles all of the mind-bending guitar leads and solos. Everything comes together into songs that are tight and heavy, melodic and groovy, technical yet memorable.
To get these works of art off the studio floor, Lang launched an Indiegogo campaign (video can be viewed here) to raise the necessary investment to complete the first collection of songs, which will be released in 2015 as two EPs: Aion I and Aion II.

About:
A band name inspired by Opeth lyric’s (thanks to drummer Ty Fox) and influenced by various genres ranging from melodic death to groove metal to progressive to rock n’ roll, AOA’s catalogue has grown rapidly with two self-releases in 2014. First it was their debut EP ‘Endless Nights’ in March followed by their ten track full length ‘Shadows’ in September.
Touching on personal issues to triumphing demons as a band, ‘Shadows’ with a dash of dark lyrics and tracks such as The Court Of Owls to There’s No Angels Here to the infectious chorus of Like Fire demonstrates AOA are not just evolving, but are a live force raging to be discovered by the masses.
