Detherous was established in 2014 as first drummer Chase Hamilton and Damon MacDonald were in high-school. The two started jamming and decided to evolve the project into a full band. Dylan joined about 6 months later to take on the position of lead guitarist. From there, they developed their sound from standard Thrash Metal to a unique blend of Death and Thrash Metal. Once they started capturing a more polished sound, Tad was injected to fill the bass role in 2016. Nearing the end of 2016, once they had all turned 18, they were then finally able to take the stage and start playing live at local venues.
In July of 2017, Detherous underwent a lineup change and acquired Dimitri as their new drummer. Since then they have been able to take their musical visions, ideas and directions further. Past shows include CEMR Metalfest. This was the first time playing a festival and it was great to be a part of. "We enjoyed every moment! We've had the pleasure of playing with various, talented bands and meeting lots of great people! We were thrilled to have been asked to open for Unleash The Archers and W.M.D. back in July. It was truly a mind blowing experience for us. One we will never forget. Recently, we have the great honor of being selected to participate in one of the Wacken Metal Battle Canada's preliminary rounds here in Calgary, we had a lot of fun playing that event and got to see some amazing bands." Upcoming Detherous shows include May 1st with Bloodshot Dawn, Aepoch, and False Flag. We are beyond excited for that event! |
Detherous also have the great pleasure of being included in Calgary's first annual Decimate Metalfest (June 7-10, 208), and this Year's 10th year at Armstrong Metal Fest (July 13-14, 2018)!
Their inspirations range from early Thrash and Death metal such as Slayer, Exodus, Death, Asphyx, and many more.
Detherous hope to start recording an EP very soon and look forward to what the future holds for the band.
