Comprised of 4 young individuals, Abhorupt is a progressive death metal band centered in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Abhorupt's musical focus is to write technical music that is engaging to both themselves and the audience. Characterized by blast beats, time and tempo changes, breakdowns and themes of misanthropy, Abhorupt is very much a "do what you feel" band, without setting any musical/thematic boundaries or rules.

Out of the frozen hell that is Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada comes the ambitious Thrash Metal band, ALPHAKILL. Three metalheads decided in June 2010 to put together some intense and technical thrash.
Justin Stear and Jon Warren on guitars, and Derrick Kroll (Evil Survives) on drums. Justin and Jon had started writing material in 2009 for purposes quite undefined at the time. The material would be worked and reworked until some time in 2010 when Derrick expressed interest in drumming. Once jamming had commenced, it became evident that the material needed to be faster, heavier, and more aggressive.
The original material has since evolved to a much truer thrash form. Justin has decided to take on the vocal duties so the only missing piece to the puzzle, Bass. Enter Jesse Skoleski. Bringing a french attitude to the rhythm section, the band is now complete.

Winnipeg, Manitoba's ANNEX THEORY has exploded onto the scene like a supernova, ready to unleash its music upon unsuspecting listeners everywhere.
Formed in 2008 by former QUO VADIS vocalist Trevor Birnie and young guitar virtuoso Sam Jacobs, ANNEX THEORY set out to create a truly unique sound, fusing an original multi-vocal style that can only be experienced to believe with crushing groove, silky smooth technicality, monstrous hooks, and dense atmosphere. The duo recruited Wade Forshaw (guitars), Matt Rutowicz (keyboards), Adam Jefkins (drums), and Jordan Fehr (bass) to set launch the act into orbit and beyond. The band has opened for DESPISED ICON, MISERY INDEX NEURAXIS, ELECTRO QUARTERSTAFF, THE CONTORTIONIST, LAST CHANCE TO REASON, SUFFOKATE and many others.

Mike Toews and Matt Schroeder have been playing music together for about a year together before creating the initial concept of Arcane Axiom. Kris Funk made himself available for the drum position in early 2008, allowing the writing process to begin. Kris had previously been in a band together with Mike, so it was easy getting back into the groove.
Together the three wrote music until they found a common direction. A direction which is highly influenced on death and thrash metal rhythms decorated with classic melodic solos. It has been a challenge to find the remaining members in a town where Metal is not so popular. After trying out a few different vocalists, Jordan Gerbrandt quickly solidified his role in the band. As the guys were searching for the remaining members, they busied themselves with other musical projects, playing at various venues in the area.
After taking some time off in 2010, the guys sought out a bass player. Benjamin May has come forward to take on that role. Be sure to check out the schedule for a show near you!

AstroCoven began in the last weeks of 2008, in a basement below the frozen Canadian prairies. There are three of us. We like bands like Kyuss and the Melvins and some people think we sound a bit like those kinds of bands, which is pretty awesome.

Beyond Perseverance was formed in the small town of Ste. Anne, MB when guitarists Mickey and Avery decided to jam one day. After a bit, Guy got in on the action, and eventually the three, plus Alex, shared a guitar class together at school. After going through a bit of a rough patch *cough* Japanese Fire Department *cough*, the four got back together and started seriously writing. Alex was originally playing bass, along with doing vocals, but decided to drop the bass to hone his ferocious roars. After a couple songs were written (Memories and Unheard), the quartet participated in a Battle of the Bands competition.
Following the first round, they were doubtful about making it to the next round, but just narrowly made the cut! Upon finding out the good news, excited phone calls were shared among the group. Another song was soon written afterwards (Open Eyes) and the band went and performed the three originals they had written. After deliberation by the judges, Beyond Perseverance managed to make 6th place (out of 7). They had found out that the lacking of bass had gotten point deductions with the judges, and so it was put forth that a bassist needed to be found. After lots of thinking and deciding, the guys decided on asking Rayond (Mickey's brother) to play bass. He was a quick learner, knew what was going on within the band already, and just an overall right fit. Some more time had passed and the band soon hit a dry spot: no gigs, no writing happening, and no time to do anything. Then, Alex somehow magically booked a show! This was the first time Beyond Perseverance had opened for From The Dead, Silent Amber, and Scarlet Halo. This was also the first gig that Raymond got to play.
Approximately 4 months later, Beyond Perseverance organized the largest metal show that ever hit Ste. Anne: Metal Fest in the Park. Bands that they had met from previous gigs came out, along with new bands that were known by bands already scheduled to play. Currently the band is working on their first EP, which will include 5 of their original songs. The EP is being produced by Scarlet Halo bassist, Emery Hiebert.

Although they've been together for about two years, the four members of Culted have never actually been in the same room. Michael Klassen (guitar/bass/percussion/noise), Matthew Friesen (guitar/bass/percussion/noise) and Kevin Stevenson (drums) all grew up in a small town in the middle of the Canadian prairies, while Daniel Jansson (vocals/ambience) makes his home in Gothenburg, Sweden.
After hearing Jansson’s Deadwood project, Klassen contacted him through his MySpace page to see if he’d be interested in collaborating on his and Friesen’s other band, Of Human Bondage. While emailing back and forth, the guys discovered they had mutual interests in groups like Khanate, Sunn O))) and Electric Wizard and Jansson suggested they put together a whole new project of slow, blackened metal.
