Trench — AB

The awards are funded in part by the six provincial and territorial governments of western Canada.

It’s been a very busy last two years for Osyron.They will be part of this year’s 2022 lineup for the 10th edition of Loud As Hell Festival in Drumheller, AB, along with their latest record and reissue of “Kingsbane: Deluxe Edition” garnering much praise from media and fans since its release during May 2021, which includes it charting in Canada at #10 for Top 20 Loud on Canadian College Radio (source: Earshot).

“Kingsbane: Deluxe Edition” features all original recordings plus bonus tracks remixed by bassist Tyler Corbett and remastered by drummer Cody Anstey. The decision to re-release the record along with three rewritten and rearranged bonus tracks for Viper Queen, Griefmaker, and Razor’s Wind (Acoustic) with current drummer Cody Anstey (original recordings were with former drummer Trevor Cobb) was an easy one after the great reception the band received from new fans for their 2020 album “Foundations” (nominated for a Calgary YYC Music Award for Metal Recording of the Year).

Osyron‘s “Kingsbane: Deluxe Edition” is recommended for fans of Nightwish, Dream Theater, and Wintersun.
