PRESS RELEASE:
In a world dominated by appearances where everything is designed to please, the easy path is taken, and individual success reigns supreme. A world where the music industry has turned into a game of shortcuts, pandering, and profit, where mistakes are forbidden and every detail is calculated to appeal. In this bland artistic landscape where artists cast aside their values to feed their egos, the tired formulas of artificial success no longer suffice. This world needs to be shaken up. This protest against posers isn’t something you read or speak about it’s something you listen to directly FROM THE GRAVE.
Official release: September 20, 2026

Wodos is an old-school thrash metal band from Lévis, Quebec, Canada, formed in the winter of 2024. Rooted deeply in the DIY ethos, the band has built its foundation from the ground up hand-crafting show flyers, recording demo tapes, and making their own banners.
In early 2025, Wodos released their debut three-song demo on both cassette and CD, making a major splash in the local and international underground scene. The release garnered coverage in numerous magazines and received airplay on over 50 radio stations worldwide. Known for their fast, aggressive sound and reputation as heavy beer drinkers, Wodos tore through over 30 shows across Quebec and Ontario in their first year alone, sharing the stage with acts like Chris Holmes (W.A.S.P.), Quebec thrash legends Soothsayer, BARF, and many others.
Looking ahead, Wodos has an extensive lineup of upcoming shows, including high-profile dates with Canadian thrash pioneers DBC (Dead Brain Cells).
Drawing direct influence from 80s legends like Slayer, Sadus, Demolition Hammer, Dark Angel, and early Quebec underground thrash, their debut full-length album, From the Grave recorded entirely on analog equipment is set for release on September 20th. It’s a raw, fast, and aggressive record built for authentic old-school fans.
Wodos is the answer for anyone fed up with new bands relying on TikTok trends or catchy videos: no gimmicks, no polished over-production just speed, aggression, and pure 80s thrash metal. Fuck the posers—thrash till death.
