UNTIMELY DEMISE:
Dubbed by Metal Hammer magazine as 'Sophisticated Thrash with Deathly Touches', the Canadian metal outfit Untimely Demise (circa 2000) has been inscribing their mark on the metal scene by harmoniously blending influences like Megadeth, Testament, Death, and Arch Enemy, into an ambitious package that places paramount focus on guitar-work and musicianship. Having toured Canada extensively for 16 years, the group has built a reputation as formidable headliners, but also as capable support for genre heavyweights such as Suffocation, Death (DTA), Goatwhore, Death Angel, DRI, Razor, Demolition Hammer, Pestilence, 3 Inches Of Blood, Warbringer and Toxic Holocaust.
Receiving numerous accolades, the band garnered nominations for a Sirius XM Canadian Independent Music Award for Metal Group of the Year in 2012, as well as a 2017 Western Canadian Music Awards nomination for Metal/Hard Music Group of the Year. In 2014, the ensemble toured England, Belgium and Germany with Florida death metal legends Massacre which has served to augment the band's international following. By 2016, the group had released it's 3rd full length album Black Widow and went on to tour Canada with Act Of Defiance. Riding hot off the momentum built from touring across Canada in 2018 supporting Obituary, Pallbearer, Skeletonwitch, Havok, and The Black Dahlia Murder, in 2019 Untimely Demise played the iconic Headbangers Open Air festival in Hamburg, Germany, alongside Exciter, Sanctuary, and Queensryche. The group's fifth album Maverick was released on November 26th, 2022. A new EP is slated to be released in late 2025.

HAZZERD:
Hailing from the Great White North, the thrash quartet HAZZERD was initially formed by drummer/lead vocalist Dylan Westendorp and guitarist Brendan Malycky, two Calgary teens who were inspired by the early work of thrash legends such as Overkill, Metallica and Anthrax. The group self-released their debut EP, “Victimize The Innocent,” in 2014. The following year, the band recruited then-18-year-old lead guitarist Toryin Schadlich. In 2017, soon after solidifying the group's lineup with the addition of bassist David Sprague, HAZZERD recorded their full-length debut, “Misleading Evil,” which was released via Canada's World War Now Records. 2019 saw HAZZERD catch the attention of M-Theory Audio after being featured on Gimme Radio, where Megadeth founder Dave Mustaine championed the group as a promising thrash hopeful. He also included the band on his personal list of record collection picks, where HAZZERD were one of only two up-and-coming artists listed. Their sophomore effort, “Delirium" release in 2020 getting great critical response including Sonic Perspectives calling it “an album that embodies the best of thrash and heavy metal,” while Metal Injection wrote “rip-roaring… leaves absolutely no survivors in its wake.”
