Storm "Bringer of Storms" Nelson - Drums

Formed in 2010 as Celestial Coffin, The Avulsion was formed with intentions of being one of the next heaviest acts to come out of Lethbridge. The Avulsion started playing shows in November of 2010, followed by a string of successful shows for most of 2011, opening for bands such as Death Toll Rising, Auroch, Scythia, The Killing Field,The Order of Chaos, Titan, Naraka, and many others. During these times, members left and joined, and the musical direction changed. What was a notorious Black/Death act is now a full-out brutal assault, taking traits from Death Metal, Thrash Metal, and Grindcore. The Avulsion is eager to play more shows in 2012 and even more eager to play the new material written by the new lineup.

The Reckless Heroes (Calgary punk band) http://www.therecklessheroes.com/

Kevin Towill - Vocals/Guitar
Chris Saunders - Guitar/Vocals
Nolan Semenoff - Drums
Danny "Decay" Daigle - Bass/Vocals

The Reckless Heroes formed in 2009, and after countless member changes since their original formation the line-up now consists of front man and rhythm guitarist Kevin Towill, lead shred artist and back up vocalist Chris Saunders, human metronome/drummer Nolan Semenoff, and bassist Danny "Decay" Daigle.

Since their formation, The Reckless Heroes have recorded two full length albums, False Starts & Failed Attempts (2010) and Dark Times (2012), one EP, The Hardest Part (2013), one single, Last Time/Jaded (2011), as well as being featured on a compilation. With each subsequent release improving on and perfecting the band's original sound, it’s no mystery as to why they have progressed through the underground punk scene so quickly making The Reckless Heroes a force to be reckoned with. In addition to their releases, The Reckless Heroes have toured Western Canada multiple times.

As the sole song writer, Kevin Towill writes primarily about personal issues dealing with the darker aspect of life, while drummer Nolan Semenoff and bassist Danny Decay provide an extremely tight and heavy rhythm section allowing lead guitarist Chris Saunders to work off the rhythm to provide mind blowing riffs and solos with a heavy metal styling, as well as adding occasional backing or co-lead vocals. The end result is a unique brand of emotionally-driven high energy alternative punk music with a touch of metal influence that is sure to leave you banging your head and screaming for more!

Evolux (Medicine Hat Thrash band) https://www.facebook.com/pages/EVOLUX/163027220408724?id=163027220408724&sk=info

Evolux is a Canadian Thrash metal band, Started in October 2010 by Brenden Wagner, Colton Charette, and Jared Harty. The first official incarnation Featured Brenden on bass and lead vocal, Jared on lead and rhythm guitars and Colton on drums. This line up was changed when Jared and Brenden met Sam who secured his spot after sitting in on a lesson with him. His neo thrash and progressive riffing had a huge impact on the sound. In November it was discovered the Colton was a far more capable singer than Wagner, leaving the drummer position open and Colton moving to lead vocals.

Sam quickly brought in his friend Taylor Towle, who played drums for us up until febuary 2011 when conflicts between his personal life made it impossible for him to drum for us on a full time basis. Wagner looked up and old friend who quickly jumped on the drums named Drayden Perner-Matthews, His heavy groove influenced drums shattered the ceiling and thrust us into a brand new position with our music.

This line up consisted and played a couple shows in 2011 even coming in second at the high school battle of the bands in Medicine hat. In summer of 2011 we were forced to part ways with our guitarist Jared as his personal conflicts forced us to sever our ties with him. We quickly brought Robert Byrde into the fold who has adapted amazingly for his first ever band. At the beginning of May 2012, Evolux closed out the battle of the bands in Medicine Hat, making it a tie for first place, and earning a spot on the Zedfest stage at Canada Day. Shortly after the show, the band parted ways with Brenden due to personal and professional differences.

Evolux has remained a highly active band in the tail end of 2012 and throughout the entirety of 2013.
