THE SUMMER SLAUGHTER TOUR
BORN OF OSIRIS
The band was formed in 2003, releasing several demos and going through various name changes over the next few years (most notably as RoseCrance). In 2007, under the name Born Of Osiris, they signed to Sumerian Records and finished recording their first full-length album entitled The New Reign which was released on October 2, 2007.
BLACKGUARD
If ever there was a test case proving that hard work, tenacity, a healthy amount suffering, and word of mouth pays off, Blackguard is it. Formed in 2001 by guitarist Terry Roadcase and drummer Justine "Juice" Éthier as a straight ahead black metal outfit, the Montreal-based sextet - who clawed their way into the public eye under the name Profugus Mortis - has fought a pitched battle to stand out amongst their international metal brethren, going through numerous line-up changes and much needed sonic tweaking to get to where they are in 2008.
