Protest The Hero in Québec

Protest The Hero is a Canadian progressive metal band formed in Whitby, Ontario, in 1999. Their music is built around rapid rhythmic changes, intricate guitar parts and Rody Walker’s wide-ranging vocals. The band became known through albums including Kezia, Fortress, Scurrilous, Volition and Palimpsest, as well as songs such as “Blindfolds Aside,” “Bloodmeat” and “Sequoia Throne.” A 2008 performance at Toronto’s Sound Academy was filmed and released as the live set Gallop Meets the Earth. In 2015, the Kezia X Tour featured the debut album performed in full for its tenth anniversary. The band returned to that full-album format for the Fortress X Tour, which marked the record’s tenth anniversary.
