Canadian skrap metal innovators FINAL TRIGGER are proud to announce the release of their new album ‘Skrap Metal Vol. II’ on July 9th via Boonsdale Records. The album is the follow up to their 2009 debut ‘Skrap Metal’, which received critical acclaim in Canada and the US with success on college radio charts and their single ‘Start A Moshpit‘ receiving regular video rotation on Canada’s Much Loud. Over the years FINAL TRIGGER have toured as direct support for Mushroomhead across the USA, along with sharing the stage with such acts as Suicidal Tendencies, Marilyn Manson, Dillinger Escape Plan, Protest The Hero, Baptized In Blood, Hail The Villain, Threat Signal, Slaves On Dope, Agent Orange, Blaze Ya Dead Homie, Boondox and more.
Drummer JJ Tartaglia comments:
“This new album is definitely the closest we’ve gotten to capturing the energy of Final Trigger on record. It’s heavier than the last one, but also more dynamic. There’s something for everyone – the anthem, the epic, the metal, the hip-hop, the catchy. Our overall sound has matured nicely, and I’m confident the fans will be satisfied. It’s a flagship release for cross-over metal, a testament to Final Trigger’s vision and a trophy for Canadian music.”
Combing high-energy metal with a hip-hop feel, FINAL TRIGGER creates a unique sound and a sick vibe, with vocal hooks and anthem choruses that are undeniable to any listener.

About: FINAL TRIGGER’s story begins on ‘The Block’, nestled deep in Toronto’s urban jungle. Crime and poverty stricken, amongst a haven of thugs and deadbeats, four musically talented characters cross paths.
The spark of a lighter in a dark alley, smoking joints over the talk of escape and rebellion. A dream of a better life, where money/weed/bitches are a plenty. Free-styling with homies, rolling dirty, and dropping out of school to jam and pursue music. Most of all: a pact that would bind each member to a common cause, and entwine their fates forever. These are the fundamentals on which Final Trigger was born, and would lead it to become what it is today.
The Four Horsemen:
Lead Vocalist/Guitarist J-Roc provides the guitar-driven structures and shredding guitar solos with a tone reminiscent of Dimebag Darrell and Dave Mustaine. All while ripping vocal screams that would rival a Frankenstein of Lamb Of God, Snot and Hed PE.
Bass-man/Vocalist Fazio brings an equally heavy but funky vibe. He plays with a rock-solid presence and slap-bass style, with influences of Cliff Burton and Marcus Miller combined. Not to mention the ability to free-style vocally as if James Brown joined the Wu Tang Clan.
DJ/Vocalist Profit brings the smooth hip-hop vibe to the music, spitting savvy rhymes with old-school swagger, and tasteful keys and scratches.
Drummer extraordinaire JJ Tartaglia contributes the backbone beats and rhythms with a metal/funk style to get the groove just right. Blazing double kicks, sky-high cymbals, and a visual style unlike you’ve ever seen.
These players are the magical combination that makes Final Trigger an all-star line-up, and 2nd to none. The band believes hard in their music, and are proud to live their lyrics and image.
“You can really tell that these boys have worked hard to impress… , their slick heavy metal and hardcore rap lyrics put their predecessors to shame.” – Absolute Underground
“Final Trigger brings a wicked combination of Hardcore, Metal and Hip Hop to the table which they call Skrap Metal; the closest comparison I can make would be Slipknot, only more ‘gangsta’.” – PureGrainAudio
“FT mix concrete heavy grooves with arena rock, anthemic power metal & yes, a smidge of hip-hop. Trust the Reverend, it’s not a poor man’s Limp Bizkit here – these guys take their metal influences seriously!” – The Rim of Hell
“Final Trigger is metal with loads of street attitude.” – examiner.com
