Metalian

About

The artist

Metalian is a heavy metal band based in Montréal, Quebec. The artist-controlled Bandcamp identifies the group as a Montréal band and describes a sound built from dual-guitar lines, forceful drums, bass, and high-register vocals. A current April 2026 Thorium Magazine concert review independently calls Metalian the local act on a Montréal bill with Raven and Slackjaw, confirming the band's continuing Quebec base and live activity. The group formed in 2002 and developed through demos and independent releases before issuing a self-titled project in 2007 and Wasteland in 2009. The song Necronomicon appeared on the Fubar II soundtrack in 2010, and the band toured Europe in 2014. Midnight Rider followed in 2017, Vortex in 2019, and Beyond the Wall in 2022. The current lineup documented by Metallian consists of Ian Wilson on vocals and guitar, Simon Costa on guitar, Andres Arango on bass, and Tony Cantara on drums. The same current source records appearances with Satan in 2025 and Raven in Montréal in 2026. The exact Spotify identity 01ZELncwfB8709jpPMunJ0 contains seven principal album and single containers from 2007 through May 2025. Spotify classifies five as albums and two as singles, including current provider editions of Wasteland, Midnight Rider, Beyond the Wall, Vortex, and Metalian. These totals follow Spotify's container types and do not replace the fuller Bandcamp discography, which also includes a live recording and alternate editions. Wasteland is the latest exact Spotify album, dated May 3, 2025. Apple Music artist 1471988856, MusicBrainz artist 5a3a9761-b338-456a-8d53-7ebfc07888da, and Wikidata Q55807461 independently reconcile to the same Canadian band identity. Current releases use Metalian as the provider label. MusicList does not infer a producer role for the band because the reviewed sources do not provide a supported production credit.
