RIOT IN PARADISE http://www.riotinparadisemusic.com/ of Edmonton is touring down to Lethbridge on their summer tour and this is one of the first stops! Always great to get Hardcore/metalcore acts down here to play.

Will Wilk - Drums

Combining beautiful melodies with dirty riffs and heavy breakdowns, with enough energy to level a city block, RIOT in Paradise is ready to take the scene by storm. In June 2011, four friends got together in a southside Edmonton basement to lay the foundation for a band determined to shake up the local music scene. In early 2012 the band released the Soundtrack to Our Collapse EP, a raw examination of a band in it’s infant stages. Still finding their sound the band parted ways with a few members until the missing links were found. RIOT in Paradise is Matt Wischlinski on guitar, Terence Thiessen on vocals, Jake Ferbey on bass, and Will Wilk on drums.

Over the past two years RIP has played countless shows in and around the Edmonton area sharing the stage with local heavyweights and national touring acts such as Misery Signals, Liferuiner, Being as An Ocean, Fall City Fall, Take the Earth Beneath Us, Slumlord and many others.

In 2013, RIOT in Paradise went back into the studio to record their second EP titled “This is Who We Are” released November 2, 2013! Look out for them in 2014 starting pits and destroying stages in Edmonton and across Canada!
Supporting will be The Avulsion one last time before heading off on their tour starting the 17th. They want to jam again to celebrate going on the first tour and to support RIP

Dethgod is a Morley based death metal band that fans of brutal as well as melodic will be sure to love. Definate head banging moshing music of epicness

Hailing from the Morley Reservation of the Stoney Nakoda Nation, Bevan Twoyoungmen and Blaine Baptiste stared this cover band back in late 2007 called Chained in darkness.

It was a rough start with different changes in the set with different drummers,bass and second guitar, almost to the point of giving up, the name chained in darkness stuck till the start of 2010 both original members called it quits till late 2011 stared over from scratch.

Long time drummer Cyrus Ear wanted to start a band and Blaine Baptiste was there and both wanted to start a small project so the two became the original founders of the band and with countless attempts to find a vocalist seemed very thin with no true committed vocalist in the reservation.

Till Bevan came on broad and was in a challenge in creating original songs, no more covers then went through a few second guitarists till Chad the brother of the singer jumped in, many name changes not till 2012when all members of the band agreed on AFTERDEATH but another band from Florida had the same name, then the band in early 2013 of march the band finally came up with the name DETHGOD.

With a second set of vocals in Stephen Hanson but still having trouble to find a committed bass player, the band mostly had fill ins and try outs but no such luck.

The band finally stick with new and original songs and still going strong to this day once was just a simple project that would eventually died out like ever band from Morley, became something so much more then that of a hobbies.

DETHGOD is here forever!
