Alaskan




Origin:  Ottawa, Ontario
Genre:  Metal / Hardcore
Recent Release:  The Weak & The Wounded







Alaskan is another intense metal band with a powerful sound and angry screaming vocals. So a warning, this is not for the faint at heart. Their style is very much akin to Mountains Unfold and Le Kraken, so if you liked them then Alaskan should be easy to get into.

Be aware that in some of their songs they use some weird (very weird) sound bites from some show or movie. I found these to be quite annoying and tend to just skip over them. Check out songs "Bludgeon", "Epicurus", and "Greed and Grievance". Give them a few listens and you should be into this band as much as I am.
