Protest the Hero - Fortress
Somewhere, a sociology student is writing a thesis on why Toronto’s 905 district produces such a plethora of punk, thrash and screamo bands (witness the rise of Sum 41, Billy Talent and Finger Eleven). The second album from Whitby, Ont.’s Protest the Hero is a feast for metalhead fans of gothic fantasy. Featuring two movements called “Isosceles” and “On Conquest and Capture,” the songs are full of growls, blood-curdling screams, shredding guitars and ambitious tales of sacred kings and mythic goddesses.
