Oct 13, 2018 · It's always interesting to see where famous bands got their starts, so use this list to discover some great Canadian music that you've never heard before. The Thrash metal bands and artists below have played their music all over the world, but they all were formed in Canada.
- Dyoxen – First Among Equals (1989) Taking the Voivod path to obscure-town, Dyoxen were a surprisingly melodic yet highly skilled set of technical thrashers.
- Disciples Of Power – Power Trap (1989) One of those more obscure thrash albums (and bands) who had everything, Disciples Of Power were already sucker-punching the majority of their peers with debut full length Power Trap; a release which showcased this outstanding band’s ability to meld primal thrash aggression, death metal tendencies and progressive thrash structures into a satisfying whole.
- Sacrifice – Forward To Termination (1987) Part of Canada’s “big four” alongside the potentially more recognisable names of Razor, Voivod and Annihilator (more on all of those later), Sacrifice‘s 2nd album, Forward To Termination, was a fast and ferocious shit-storm of an album.
- Obliveon – From This Day Forward (1990) A thrashier version of Death circa Spiritual Healing / Human, Obliveon’s debut album was an immediate game-changer upon release and has become an all-time technical thrash classic from the golden era of forward-thinking thrash.

Heavy, loud rock music from Canada slowly built momentum in the 1970s with such bands as Steppenwolf, Warpig, Mahogany Rush, Moxy and Pat Travers achieving varying degrees of modest success. It was Toronto's Rush, ultimately, that became Canada's first heavy-metal superstars, thanks to the epochal 1976 album 2112, an ambitious record that boasted a...
Formed in Toronto in 1973, Anvil spent its formative years developing a highly quirky sound, built around the buzzsaw guitar and wise-ass snarl of Steve "Lips" Kudlow and the powerful yet groovy drumming of Robb Reiner. The band's second album, 1982's Metal on Metal, combined the aggression of the young British metal scene with nimble musicianship ...
If there's one Canadian metal album that equals, or even bests, Rush's 2112 as the greatest ever, it's Dimension: Hatröss, the fourth album by Jonquière, Quebec's Voivod. The best example of a remote Canadian metal band developing a unique style based on whatever genre knowledge they could possibly accrue at the time, Voivod sounded strange from th...
Rush kept evolving into the 1990s, too, working hard in search of that intangible magic that restless artists crave. Rush's Lee, Lifeson and Peart moved away from the high-gloss production that partly defined their 1982-1992 era in favour of a more muscular sound, succeeding here (1993's Counterparts) and stumbling there (1996's Test For Echo).

Dec 1, 2020 · Razor – Shotgun Justice (1990) Canadian thrash’s answer to Slayer’s all-conquering Reign In Blood, Razor’s Shotgun Justice (and yes, some people are gonna be pissed we haven’t included their favourite Razor album but tough shit, it’s our list) is as potent as ever and is a balls-to-the-fucking-wall shotgun blast of ultra-aggressive, high speed thrash!
