Heavy Metal:
In a time when musical talent is put aside in favor of fashion and rock star poses, heavy metal awaits a return to the glory days of technical proficiency and pure aggression that will knock it on its collective ass. Toronto based MASTERY are preparing to revive the glory days with the release of Lethal Legacy, an album that pays tribute to the scene’s metallic roots while forging a new path to lead the scene kicking and screaming into the future. The brainchild of guitarist Markus Armellini, MASTERY was created with a desire to develop a band that fused the blazing aggression of hard core thrash with the technical prowess of progressive metal. Searching for other musicians that shared this vision, Armellini found Vancouver native Jeff Dormer, a shredder that came to Ontario with similar aspirations. With musical influences and interests akin to Markus, Jeff's incredible playing ability was the perfect compliment to the style which characterizes MASTERY’s song writing. The next piece to fit in this complex puzzle was a backbeat capable of driving this new project to full capacity. Having cut his teeth in Toronto metal band CandleOpera, drummer Kevan Roy was hungry for the next challenge...and he had found it in MASTERY. Bass guitarist Anthony Ristovski was introduced to Kevan at the music store where they both were teaching.
