"Capturing the spirit of the gods of metal in all its fire-breathing glory, this dynamic power-trio breathes life into guitar-driven riffs, thunderous drumming, and mallet-style basslines, with boundless turbocharged energy" - The Lonely Vagabond of Eye Weekly

Bio
Sang-Freud has been emerging onto the mainstream metal scene of Toronto for the past three years. Having originated in the small town of Fergus, Ontario, where they were an underground metal phenomenon for ten years, the metal band relocated to Toronto in the year 2006. They have performed regularly in the Toronto and surrounding areas, including appearances at the Molten Metal Mayhem Festival in '06,'07 and '09, along side such bands as Threat Signal, Ash Lee Blade, Pitch Union, and Omega A.D.
With a degree in philosophy and music from the University of Waterloo, founding member, Jonathan Lisinski (Guitarist, Vocalist, Song-writer) adds a dimension not found in an average metal band. His knowledge of music theory and the history of music, brings a level of respect to the concept of music lacking in much of today's nu-metal/grindcore. Sang-Freud have been in the studio numerous times and have recorded independently the full length CD's 'Raw and Vicious' ('01) 'More' ('07)' and the EP's, 'Greed' ('05) and 2009's 'War'.
The stage is set for Sang-Freud's continued emergence onto the broader metal scene. With a respect for their metal predecessor's Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Metallica and Megadeth, Sang-Freud brings a classic metal element to their music that is generally lacking today. They look to help restore a metal scene that has been said to be 'coming back' for many years, but somehow has yet to arrive!
