Thursday, December 21: Witherfall, "Communion of the Wicked"

Joseph Michael Furney and Jake Dreyer both got their start with the retro act White Wizzard, and both ultimately gained greater prominence playing with established acts (Sanctuary, Iced Earth, Demons & Wizards), but it was their work with Witherfall that stood out as something distinctly belonging to them.  Although “Communion of the Wicked” bore some resemblance to Iced Earth, Sanctuary and especially Nevermore, the dynamics and drama indicated that Furney and Dreyer were in their own zone.  And besides, Nevermore was several years out of circulation by 2018, so there was an unmet need for this kind of crushing technical power metal, and Furney wisely modulated his vocals and phrasing so they didn’t come off too histrionic or melodramatic.  This was a thoughtful and intense prog-tinged power metal number that ebbed and flowed thoughtfully while also rocking out furiously when called for.

Royal Promises

It was another peaceful and quiet autumn in the kingdom of Witherfall, the kingdom that welcomes all living creatures human or not, little rushed steps could be heard through the corridors of the castle as the little three years old princess outruns her caretaker towards her parents room.

The princess' dark blue hair became a mess from the running and from the wild ruffling of her little wings that tried and failed multiple times to take flight, when she finally gets to her parents' room she burst the door open and the crying of a newborn can be heard more clearly, making the little girl fume with anger.

"Who dares to hurt my baby sister?! You will suffer the coseguences!" She yelled running in and staying in between her mother's bed and the many servants who were in the room and tried to not chuckle from their little princess' adorable mistake, her parents only reacted with a soft surprised laugh and then her father, King Emanuel, spoke up. "It's 'consequences' sweetheart. And trust me nobody hadn't hurt your baby sister." The small princess pounded, meaning to be threatening but failed miserably, she then turned to her father and raised her arms asking for an upie. "I want to see it myself!" She demanded "Let me see her!"

The servants just watched that adorable scene unfold as their king lifted the youngling and sat her on the bed, her eyes widened upon seeing that little baby on her mother's lap, the crying slowly came to a stop as she crawled closer. "Can I hold her?" She whispered with so much caution that even her parents were surprised. "Please?", her mother, Queen Awdrey, nodded gently and carefully placed their new family member on the small princess' arms as King Emanuel helped instruct her on how to do it, the queen suddenly spoke.

"Mari my dear." The princess turned to her mother with curious eyes. "What do you think we should name her?" Mari thought for a while, her eyes stuck to her new sister's semi-smiling face as a prideful smile grew on her own. "I like Clare, do you like it too?" She asked the baby who could not really respond, so her mother did instead. "I like how that sounds, Mari and Clare, the two princesses of Witherfall." Mari's smile grew wider, she couldn't help but hug her new baby sister tighter and whisper to her "I promise I will protect you with all my life." Both the king and queen watched this adorable scene of their daughters for a while.

Days later a celebration party was thrown in the castle to celebrate the new member of the royal family.

April 10th - 12th - Vancouver

HMF 2025 Lineup Spotify Playlist

Canada's premier melodic and power metal festival HYPERSPACE Metal Fest returns for its 6th edition after another year of crowd-pleasing epic fun in Vancouver, BC. Being hosted at The Cobalt (April 10 &11th) and The Rickshaw Theatre (April 12th), the 2025 lineup will feature headliners ENFORCER, PLANESWALKER, GLYPH along with Lunar, Solarus, Tower Hill, Luminator, Tylor Dory Trio, Heyoka's Mirror with more to be announced.

Festival organizer Joey Hockin of Journeyman Productions adds:

"It's finally time to reveal Hyperspace Metal Festival VI! We were a little later announcing this year because we want to make sure we're bringing you the same quality you've come to expect. And on that, I think we've delivered! The full lineup will be announced in the fall. Hope to see you next April!"

Headlining Saturday, April 12th at The Rickshaw Theatre, Sweden's ENFORCER have proved themselves both live and on record, they stake their place amongst the world’s most renowned heavy metal bands since first forming in 2005. They have toured the world over, playing the biggest festivals and garnering a global fanbase. Their latest sixth studio album Nostalgia (released May 2023 - Nuclear Blast), features 13 heavy metal anthems and throws ENFORCER back to their speed metal roots. Fusing extreme guitar riffing with catchy stadium choruses, ENFORCER is out to conquer the world.

Music Video - Nostalgia

Headlining Friday, April 11th, and returning for their second time at HMF, the duo known as PLANESWALKER features Jason Ashcraft (Helion Prime) and Sozos Michael (Gloryhammer, ex-Helion Prime) present Magic the Gathering-inspired Power Metal. They recently released their latest single "Compleated" and were joined by Carlos Alvarez (ex-Power Theory, Behölder, Shadowdance) on bass and Stefanos Meletiou (The Zilla Project, Private Garden).

Music Video - "Compleated"

Headlining Thursday, April 10th, the Pacific Northwest's Glyph, is not just a heavy metal band, they are a crew of intergalactic mercenaries escaping a dying planet in their spaceship, the VSS Dragonlord. Clearly, Glyph isn’t just writing songs, they’re building worlds and they bring it forth in their latest album "Honor, Power, Glory" released this past March.

Music Video - Volarad

Also featured on this year's 2025 lineup and making their first HMF appearance and performing for the first time ever, Lunar is a progressive metal project from California that features members from Witherfall, Helion Prime, Planeswalker, Novareign, Mokili Wa, Nordic Frost, Outloud, Double Vision. Their fourth and latest album “The Illusionist” features guests Jørgen Munkeby (Shining), Christian Münzner (Obscura), Andy Gillion (Mors Principium Est), Taylor Washington (Paladin), Sam Vallen (Caligula's Horse), Ben Karas (Thank You Scientist), Gleb Kanasevich, and Patrick Corona.

Meant to perform on the 2024 lineup, but forced to cancel, Tylor Dory Trio returns for 2025, they are a monstrous progressive metal unit and beloved by many in Western Canada. This live performance will be their first following a nearly seven-year layoff.

Hailing from London, ON, Solarus, simply put, is a musical vision and ambition to bring musicians together through their shared love for music. They bring forth impressive female-fronted melodic power metal.

Traveling from Edmonton, AB, Tower Hill delivers premium old-school heavy metal inspired by bands like Running Wild, Riot, Judas Priest, early Blind Guardian, and Helloween. Forging the best of the late 80s and early 90s German, British, and US metal scenes into a new blend of shimmering steel, Tower Hill’s riff-driven, hook-laden traditional metal will have you banging your head and singing along.

Luminator is a fantasy power metal band from the Pacific Northwest (Tacoma, WA) and will be supporting their latest EP "On The Clouds".

From Calgary, AB, Heyoka's Mirror is a progressive rock/metal band with international roots that was brought to life in the summer of 2015 by founding members Andrew Balboa and Omar Sultan. Their first music video “Asylum” (directed by Seth Williams), was nominated as Best Music Video by the 2020 YYC Music Awards and was released in support of their debut full-length "The Uninvited King".
