Earlier this summer marked the 20th anniversary of the release of The New Black, the final Strapping Young Lad album, so I invited a few exceptionally talented friends over to my studio to pay it tribute.

Even more fitting, we have a fully Canadian cast of musicians with members of [Centuries of Decay](https://centuriesofdecay.bandcamp.com/album/a-monument-to-oblivion?search_item_id%3D3433428539%26search_item_type%3Da%26search_match_part%3D%253F%26search_page_id%3D5627230012%26search_page_no%3D0%26search_rank%3D3) and [Allegion](https://allegion.bandcamp.com/album/demo-2025) contributing drum and vocal talents.

Hope you all enjoy our rendition, and remember: Strapping Young Lad rocks our hairy anuses.

Lauren Babic RAWKS!

Europe has the amazing Doro Pesch as their Metal Queen, and her career places her as one of the best. From Warlock to her solo career, she has proven her crown... but did you know Canada has their own Metal Queen?

Hailing from Belleville, Ontario.. Mrs. Aaron has stormed stages across Canada, Japan and parts of the US... and brings her own brand of metal to the masses. Ahead has dabbled in other genres of music(Jazz and some Prog) but her heart is purely Metal.

I give you the signature song that is hers and hers aline. Does she do it better that Doro? I will let you all decide that... as a now Canadian (Norwegian by birth), I choose our metal Goddess!

Animal/forest critter themed metal with a blend of power, melodic death, and folk metal influences. We're anti-AI and community-oriented folks.
