Stratagoth is Mike Taylor and Tam Huynh.  Shaped from years of experience playing in other bands of similar taste, we devote a lot of time and energy into crafting songs full of killer riffs, crushing drums and catchy melodies.  We play everything from punk rock anthems to symphonic metal masterpieces.  We produce, record, mix and master all of our songs and are constantly striving to push our craft to match the quality of those that inspired us to pursue music. 

During our days as undergraduate students at the University of Saskatchewan, we realized that our musical similarities went beyond just our taste. We started jamming out ideas in 2004 and have released a couple of tracks as Archaeolocalypse. Stratagoth represents the next stage of our collaboration and keeps true to the original vision of our music.

Band was formed in Kharkiv (Ukraine) in the end of 2014 by songwriter and vocalist Roman Styopin. Debut EP album "Sky Will Shed A Tear" was released in March 2015.

Biography

The Thrash/Death-Metal band 'Untimely Demise' was formed in April 2006 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan by brothers Matthew and Murray Cuthbertson. The group is stamping their mark on the metal music scene by incorporating the influences of genre-leaders Megadeth, Death, Arch Enemy, Testament, Exodus, and so forth into an ambitious package that places a paramount focus on guitar-work and musicianship. In 2008 the ensemble began working with ex-Megadeth lead guitarist/producer Glen Drover in his private studio in Toronto. They have now recorded three albums together (Full Speed Metal EP 2009/ City Of Steel 2011/ Systematic Eradication t.b.r. 2013) Having toured Canada extensively for the last 4 years, the band has built a reputation as being a go-to group for headlining dates, but also as support for metal legends such as Anvil, Skeletonwitch, Massacre, Suffocation, 3 Inches Of Blood, Into Eternity, Goatwhore, Evile, Toxic Holocaust, Gama Bomb, Bonded By Blood, Obscura, Abysmal Dawn, etc. Signed to an international, multi-album licensing/distro deal with Sonic Unyon Records in June 2011, the band has garnered a loyal, ever-growing following across the globe. The band has been well-received by metal and traditional media, earning impressive print reviews and features in UK's Metal Hammer Mag, Terrorizer, Rock Hard Italy, Hard Rocker Mag (Poland/Czech Republic) as well as Decibel (US), Exclaim, etc. Among these accolades the band was nominated for a Sirius XM Canadian Independent Music Award for Metal Group of the Year in 2012. Eager to release their newest album on Punishment 18 Records (based out of Italy), Untimely Demise has toured both Eastern and Western Canada so far in 2013, including playing Calgary Metalfest in June, support shows for Skeletonwitch and a Western Canadian tour with Into Eternity.
