Heavy Montréal 2015

You know you live in a hard-rock capital when your city's common abbreviation practically spells out "metal." Heavy Montréal brings an eclectic mix of loudness and distortion to an audience that's as discerning as it is enthusiastic. Legendary bands and exciting newcomers now flock to the city for the festival, which is fast becoming one of the season's highlights. Trash or death metal, speed or experimental, old-school or hardcore punk—if it's heavy, loud, and intense, it's on the top of our list.
