PROTEST THE HERO are a Canadian progressive metal force from Whitby, Ontario, known for their technical precision, sharp songwriting and fiercely independent approach. Emerging in the early 2000s, they quickly built a reputation with Kezia and the genre-defining Fortress, before continuing to evolve across releases like Scurrilous.
Never ones to follow the traditional industry path, the band took control of their future by successfully crowdfunding Volition, proving both their loyal fanbase and DIY ethos. Later releases, including the Bandcamp-driven Pacific Myth and 2020’s Palimpsest, showcase a band unafraid to push boundaries both musically and politically.
Despite setbacks, including vocal issues that temporarily halted touring, PROTEST THE HERO have remained a vital and innovative presence in modern metal. With a legacy built on ambition, integrity and constant reinvention, they continue to stand apart as one of the genre’s most distinctive voices.
