B.C. based Thrash and Groove Metal band, MERIDIUS (named after Russell Crowe’s character in Gladiator) have unleashed their self titled debut EP out now, as of March 20th and available on Bandcamp.

“We are extremely proud of this EP, it is merely a taste of whats to come. It is a relentless mix of pit-stirring thrashers, crunchy grooves and epic melodies, sure to send thrashers and metal fans alike into a frenzy! We would like to also give a special thanks to Matt Roach who produced and mixed the EP, he`s extremely talented at what he does and were glad to be associated with him. Any bands based in Vancouver should contact him!” comments bassist Peter Riemann.

This raw, heavy thrash, melodic, groovy five piece are continuously writing material and staying true to the metal forefathers. With past members hailing from bands full of speed (Howler), progressive (Equestrian Lord), and power metal bands, Meridius’ metal embodies the intensity of aggression and pure mayhem both on stage and in studio.

Vocalist Eric Willmont constructs intense imagery through his lyrics covering dark topics (death, torture, war, and violence), all the while fitting in appropriate dash of macabre humour. Through a collaborative writing process, Meridius construct song after song with their sights set on a full length album and tour across Canada to follow their soon to be released debut EP.
