Featuring a combination of death and thrash metal, the Edmonton-based band are known to devastate their audiences with their high octane performances that has lead them to share the stage over the years with high profile names such as Kataklysm, Cryptopsy, The Haunted, and Aborted (to name a few). Their sophomore release ‘Infection Legacy’ is the follow up to their 2010 debut album ‘Defecation Suffocation’ and 2008 EP ‘Spontaneous Decapitation’.
Originally formed in 2003 in Stony Plain, AB, Canada, Death Toll Rising have been grinding the Western Canadian metal scene steadily, gaining huge momentum over the last 3 years. New addition Tylor Dory on guitars has introduced a technical and progressive element to the band they have not had in the past. Add in the intense and relentless drumming provided by Bryan Newbury (recently recruited by Canadian prog/death powerhouse INTO ETERNITY), as well as the well-rounded rhythm provided by Drew Copland on guitar and Mike Puff on bass, and you get a monster that is only now being unleashed upon the masses with vocalist Jesse Berube topping things off with a combination of brutal death growls and Tomas Lindberg-esqe high shrieks, which will be plenty noticeable on their upcoming album ‘Legacy Infection’.

“Infection Legacy is an unbelievable slab of bone-breaking, thrashing death metal that takes no prisoners and instantly pounds the listener into submission. The title track begins spreading the communicable disease with a fast-paced, crushing riff and eerie unnatural guttural growls, and from there the contagion grows like wildfire infecting your ears and eventually your psyche.
From a musical standpoint Infection Legacy is about as technical as it is heavy, with laser precision fret board wizardry that slices through the chaos like a hot knife through butter and drums that carry the rhythms along at a neck-snapping pace. It does not stop there though because the shock value continues on in the blood-soaked, carnage-filled lyrics that would easily fit into a Cannibal Corpse, Autopsy, or Exhumed record – by the end of it all the images that were conjured up made me feel as if I needed a shower to wash away all the filth!” – PureGrainAudio.com
“Death Toll Rising have presented us with an insane album and I just can’t stop listening to it! Every song on that record is good. Influences range from Suffocation and Necrophagist to things like Arsis and even some extreme thrash in there…I’d give this album a very high 9/10 for amazing song writing, great musical talents, spot on production and a very solid overall theme. The album sounds like a complete piece, well thought out and consistent. If these guys are ever nearby, I’ll be in the front row. No questions asked.” – Metal Made In Canada
“If you’re a fan of bands like Carcass, Death, Strapping Young Lad, At The Gates, etc, you definitely want to check this one out. ” – Kosher Metal
“Infection legacy is going to be a great addition to many a metal heads death or thrash collections and has enough proggy guitar in it to also appeal to prog fans who don;t mind their music to be a bit thrashy with it. I’ve listened to the album four times now and every time I just find myself sitting there going ‘this is brilliant’ and headbanging away.” – Wyrd Ways Rock Show Review
“Combining burly rhythms with charging riffs, Death Toll Rising deliver each track with a sense of urgency and energetic ferocity.” – Mouth For War (Review of 2010′s Defecation Suffocation)
“awe inspiring power that is hard to ignore…Death Toll Rising is a band on the verge of having the world seeing them.” – Metal Bite (Review of 2010′s Defecation Suffocation)
“Plying a form of death metal that mixes equal parts Floridian complexity (Cannibal Corpse maybe?) and Belgian chunk,” – Teeth of The Divine (Review of 2010′s Defecation Suffocation)
“packed with intense straight forward Death Metal that cover the typical topics of death, baby murder, and suffocation by feces!” – Apochs (Review of 2010′s Defecation Suffocation)
“Longest reigning and best death metal band in Alberta” – Terese Fleming, Noctis Festival organizer & Scarab Productions
