Osyron is a Canadian progressive symphonic metal band featuring powerful lyrics, complex melodies, and soaring clean vocals with well-placed contrasting vocal styles. Originally formed in 2012, the current lineup of vocalist Reed Alton, guitarists Krzysztof Stalmach (Solar Guitars) and Bobby Harley (Solar Guitars), bassist Tyler Corbett, and drummer Cody Anstey have been together since 2018.
Osyron released two albums during the pandemic; Foundations (July 2020) and Kingsbane Deluxe Edition (May 2021). Foundations grabbed the attention of media and fans in Europe and North America paving the way for expansion to worldwide markets. Kingsbane Deluxe Edition was a remixed and remastered release of their Kingsbane (2017) album with "Viper Queen", "Griefmaker" and "Razor’s Wind" rewritten and rerecorded as bonus material. Together, the albums spent 24 weeks with 37 appearances on the Canadian Loud charts including #1 for August 2021 and Top Ten for 2021 on the National chart. Foundations and Kingsbane Deluxe Edition were nominated for the 2021 and 2022 YYC Music Awards "Metal Recording of the Year". Osyron won the 2022 edition of that award. The band was also nominated for the 2022 Western Canadian Music Awards "Metal Band of the Year".
Their latest album, Momentous (November 2022), reached new heights worldwide. Three of the four singles - "Dominion Day", "Beyond the Sun" and "Anunnaki" - were on the Spotify All New Metal playlist over four weeks. The single, "The Deafening", featuring Stu Block (Into Eternity, Annihilator) and Percival Schuttenbach (The Witcher 3 OST) has also received attention from media and fans alike. The album has over 160,000 streams on Spotify alone to date. Momentous was nominated for the 2023 YYC Music Awards "Metal Recording of the Year" and Osyron was also nominated for the 2023 Western Canadian Music Awards "Metal Band of the Year".
Osyron has appeared at the Loud as Hell festival in Drumheller, Canada in 2021 and 2022 where they performed alongside Into Eternity, Arrival of Autumn, Iron Kingdom, and Angelmaker. Their metal version of "O Canada" was licensed for a Destination Canada ski video that was shown before all screenings of Warren Miller's 2021 movie "Winter Starts Now", and they received the prestigious FACTOR Canada "Juried Sound Recording" grant in 2021.
Their first international performance was at 70,000 Tons of Metal 2023 alongside Nightwish, Insomnium, Evergrey, Dark Tranquillity, Kamelot, Dragonforce, Amorphis, Kreator, Destruction, Hypocrisy, and many more. Osyron was also direct support for the Canadian Juno award-winning band Striker in April 2023 in Calgary, Canada.
In summer 2023, Osyron appeared at the Loud as Hell festival with Jungle Rot, Narcotic Wasteland, The Convalescence and Incite. They then played their first European festival at Rock Castle in Czechia alongside HammerFall, Amaranthe, U.D.O., Alestorm, Beast in Black, DORO, Evergrey and more. Osyron also went on their first North American tour that summer supporting Seven Kingdoms.
While working on their next album, in 2024 they will be appearing at Hyperspace Metal Festival in Vancouver, Canada; Masters of Rock in Zbytiny, Czechia; and South of Heaven in Vizovice, Czechia. In between these summer festivals, they will be going on their first European tour as well.
