In 2013, Canada’s own Crimson Shadows were crowned the International Wacken Metal Battle winner. A feat not easily achieved, and one that we take much pride in as it was the first year Canada competed in the Wacken Metal Battle. It launched the band to an international level and earned them a record contract with Napalm Records. In 2015, Canada relived that success with Vesperia, once again taking the 1st place at Wacken. In 2016, Canada followed up with Profaner taking the 2nd place win.
Year six of these battles is a very exciting one because for the first time, Wacken Metal Battle Canada will be expanding to St. John’s, NL and Halifax, NS to make the competition officially coast to coast! Full list of participating regions:
ON – Toronto
ON – Hamilton
ON – Ottawa
QC – Montreal
QC – Quebec City
SK – Saskatoon
AB – Calgary
AB – Edmonton
BC – Vancouver/Lower Mainland
BC – Island
BC – Interior
NL – St. John’s
NS – Halifax
In addition to the expansion to the East Coast, Wacken Metal Battle Canada will be hosting the 2019 National Final for the first time in Western Canada. The host city will be Calgary, AB, moving it from Toronto, ON, where the final has been held for the last 5 years.
