Featuring a combination of Death and Thrash metal, Edmonton-based Death Toll Rising are known to devastate their audiences with their high octane, energetic performances, having shared the stage with high profile names such as KATAKLYSM, CRYPTOPSY, THE HAUNTED, and ABORTED (to name a few).

Originally formed in 2003 in Stony Plain, AB, Canada, they have been grinding the Western Canadian metal scene steadily, gaining huge momentum over the last 3 years. New addition Tylor Dory on guitars has introduced a technical and progressive element to the band they have not had in the past. Add in the intense and relentless drumming provided by Bryan Newbury (recently recruited by Canadian Prog/Death powerhouse INTO ETERNITY), as well as the well-rounded rhythm provided by Drew Copeland on guitar and Mike Puff on bass, and you get a monster that is only now being unleashed upon the masses. Vocalist Jesse Berube tops things off with a combination of brutal death growls and Tomas Lindberg-esqe high shrieks.

After a successful string of shows and tours throughout 2010 and 2011, in support of their first full length album “Defecation Suffocation”, Death Toll Rising went back to the studio to record their follow up sophomore release ‘Infection Legacy’, now set to be unleashed this coming October 2013.

We formed in November 2011, all of us sick of the music scene with everybody trying to outdo everyone else and all the drama. We started hanging out and just jamming with no intention of BS. Our booze filled debauchery and crazy lifestyles fuelled the fire for hard hitting songs all based on true events. We don't pretend to be something we're not and aren't gonna change. If you don't like it, we don't care! After only a couple months of jamming and with only a small amount of material we began to play live shows, leaving the crowd only wanting more. Progressively we were asked to do larger scale shows and began to dominate larger audiences. We have since recorded two EP's in Los Angeles California by Jeff Hannan and mastered by world renowned Howie Weinberg realizing that only the best will do, even though the expense is much higher than recording locally. We pay for this ourselves. We are not spoon fed white collar kids having had everything handed to them in order to reach our goals. We are hard working blue collar people who bust their asses to make this all happen. We've played and partied with the likes of Nashville Pussy, Supersuckers, and Kill Devil Hill to name a few are going hard to try and get onto bigger and better shows. So check us out, you surely won't be disappointed, and if you are, it's no skin off our backs...

Edmonton, Canada. May of MMXI. During a particularly horrendous spring thaw, IDES of WINTER emerged from the smouldering embers of several local metal bands (Dead Jesus, Sinners Aide, and Civil Savage) who were ready for a serious project. A new collaboration forged dedicated members — each harbouring the drive to write, record, play, and breathe life into their live performances and recordings.

IDES of WINTER dove straight to work melding individual styles and material that embodies the harsh, cruel winter Alberta is famous for . So why assume a name meaning “the middle of winter”? All artists must draw inspiration from their surroundings, Northern Canadian winters dominate the senses. With a flourish of winter wildlife and wind-chills that can freeze you to the bone in minutes, the stage was definitely set.

Armed with ambition and inspired by the frozen tundra, IDES of WINTER are prepared to meet any condition thrown at them, and eager to entertain the frost bitten hordes.
