Story of AngelMaker
Hailing from North Vancouver, British Columbia, AngelMaker is a seven-piece deathcore juggernaut formed in 2011. The band's current lineup boasts a dual vocal assault from Casey Tyson-Pearce and Ian Bearer, shredding guitars courtesy of Colton Bennett, Johnny Ciardullo, and Matt Perrin (formerly of Threat Signal), Cole Rideout on bass, and Steven Sanchez on drums.
Their journey began in 2011 with an original lineup featuring Casey and Cody Tyson-Pearce on vocals and guitar respectively, alongside Mike Greenwood on vocals, Cole Rideout on bass, and Jesse Price on drums. They quickly made their mark, self-releasing their brutal six-track debut EP, Decay, in September 2012, featuring a guest appearance by Darian Mazloomi of Argent Strand. Less than six months later, they unleashed a ferocious three-way split EP with Lament and Isolations.
Following Cody Tyson-Pearce's departure in 2014, Matt Perrin joined the ranks, bolstering their already formidable sound. This solidified lineup then unleashed their debut full-length album, Dissentient, in 2015. Further cementing their presence, they dropped the Unholy Alliance split EP with Australian deathcore act A Night in Texas in October 2016. Their hard work culminated in their first headline tour across the United States in early 2017, a tour that began, fittingly, in their hometown of Vancouver.
