Artists
Mares of Thrace
Canadian mixed-race mixed-gender two-piece Mares of Thrace deal in a brand of heaviness that draws as much from noise rock and hardcore as it does from the doom metal they’re commonly grouped with. Their three critically-acclaimed full-length releases have been punctuated with international tours, where their live show has gained a reputation for what Absolute Underground Magazine described as “[sounding] like there are at least five people onstage”. Founded in 2009 by Trez (vocals, guitar) and Stef (drums), Mares released their debut The Moulting in 2010, where it topped national campus radio charts and was hailed by PopMatters as “superb”; they signed to Canada’s venerable Sonic Unyon Records shortly thereafter. 2012’s The Pilgrimage was produced by Sanford Parker (Voivod, Yob, Pelican) and praised by Pitchfork, Decibel, and Terrorizer, as well as receiving a nod from Canada’s prestigious Polaris Prize. After several North American tours, a hiatus followed; they re-emerged in 2022 with Trez remaining at the helm, and long-standing Mares friend and collaborator Casey on drums, bass, and electronics. 2022’s The Exile was deemed by many reviewers as their finest work to date; Decibel praised its “nuance, vulnerability, and maturity”, and AngryMetalGuy called it “the sound of a band in its prime, not one just slinking back in from the cold”. North American and European tours with the likes of Conan, KEN mode, and Vile Creature followed.
Culled
Culled is a Sludge/Doom Encrusted Grind band from Alberta Canada with members residing in Calgary & Edmonton. The band features members with a historical impact in the Western Canadian heavy music scene with former and current members of bands such as Thorazine, Disciples of Power, WAKE, Exit Strategy, Broken Nose, Fuquored, Mass Distraction, Begrime Exemious, The Noumenon, Section VIII, Acantha, and Bestir.The band started in early 2017 with the intention of embracing the contrast of slow crushing sludge and doom riffs with the blistering speed and chaos of grindcore ripe with messages of peace, love and that implore the need for empathy in todays unpredictable and instable political climate.
