Bio

Love heavy riffs and bands like Pantera, Metallica and Disturbed? We are your band. Formed in Toronto in 2007, we put together our first EP, “New Enemy”, in 2008. Until 2010, we played shows across Toronto. From 2010 to 2017 we focused on recording and released 2 full-length albums as well as properly re-recording the 2008 EP (i.e., budget over $300!). We have since returned to the stage in April 2017 and will continue on a stage near you!

Catch us next opening for Anvil at the Rockpile on August 17! Tickets available at the following link or from a band member:
