Two of Western Canada’s rising stars in the Metal community (Thirteen Goats and Fall Of Earth) are joining forces on the Planet Of The Goats 2024 Western Canada tour. Joining this intense night of metal are Kamloops bangers Augur & Gregarious.
Fall of Earth is a Hybrid Metal band (elements of Metalcore, Thrash, Groove, Nu, Progressive) and is led by the growls, screams, and soaring clean vocals of Inuit frontman Alex Rye, who captivates every audience member with his energy and showmanship. The flying fingers of axe slinger Brody Bauer produce a dizzying array of sounds that regularly elicits screams of rapture from the audience. Paired with Brody are the intense, intricate and complimentary rhythm guitar stylings of new member Haraldur Jonasson. The progressive and primal low end is provided by bass wielder Myles Packer, who also contributes both clean and screaming vocal harmonies. Brendan Meilleur brings the elite combination of high energy drum fills and expressive grooves, all while contributing vocal harmonies. Collectively, the members of Fall Of Earth possess the highest levels of musicianship while never forgetting to put on the exceptional live show the band has become known for delivering. Its more than rock show, it’s an experience! In 2023, Fall Of Earth was among Canada’s most active Metal bands performing in excess of 75 shows(including 2 cross-Canada Tours) in support of their 2nd LP “From The Ashes”. All of this activity has led them to be nominated in the Metal and Hard Music Artist of the Year category of the 2024Western Canadian Music Awards.
Is it thrash? Death? Groove? THIRTEEN GOATS don’t care, and neither should you. This Vancouver four-piece tramples all over subgenre conventions to create an alchemical style of infernal riffs, huge hooks, and uniquely theatrical songwriting. The band’s new album, Capricorn Rising, is a death metal rock opera that tells the story of their mascot, Shepherd: a goat-skull wearing Antichrist accompanied by 12 demon goats who help him raise an army of animals to liberate the earth from humanity’s wars and greed. It’s a tongue-in-cheek tale of the anger we all feel at the world we live in, and the dangers of letting it turn you into a monster—delivered as a fitting soundtrack for the apocalypse.
Supporting them are Kamloops’ own thrash crowd-favourites AUGUR, and death metal newcomers Gregorious.
