It’s hard to believe that metalcore heavyweights Basterds started out as just a group of friends jamming in a basement back in 2017. Fast forward a few years, and they’ve become not only one of the most explosive bands to emerge from the Canadian scene but also a serious force in the new wave of international metalcore. With two EPs and a full-length album under their belt, Basterds have shared stages with titans like August Burns Red, In Flames, Knocked Loose, Blessthefall, Orbit Culture, Lionheart, Obey The Brave, and Within Destruction proving they can hold their own in any lineup. Their rise has been fueled by a tight creative partnership with renowned producer Maxime Lacroix (House of Gain Studio), known for his work with Despised Icon, Blind Witness, and Get The Shot. Together, they’ve honed a sound that’s as heavy as it is razor-sharp—proof that this corner of the world still forges cutting-edge, abrasive music. Basterds’ latest releases have turned more heads than ever, opening doors they’ve charged through with unstoppable energy. Now, the stage is set for their next big statement as they hit the studio to unleash another round of pure fire.
