Hailing from the Great White North, the thrash quartet HAZZERD was initially formed by drummer/vocalist Dylan Westendorp and guitarist Brendan Malycky, two Calgary teens who were inspired by the early work of thrash legends such as Overkill, Metallica and Anthrax. The group self-released their debut EP, “Victimize The Innocent,” in 2014. The following year, the band recruited lead guitarist Toryin Schadlich.
In 2017, soon after solidifying the group's lineup with the addition of bassist David Sprague, HAZZERD recorded their full-length debut, “Misleading Evil,” which was released via Canada's World War Now Records.
2019 saw HAZZERD catch the attention of M-Theory Audio after being featured on Gimme Radio, where Megadeth founder Dave Mustaine championed the group as a promising thrash hopeful. Their sophomore effort, “Delirium" release in 2020 received great critical response including Sonic Perspectives calling it “an album that embodies the best of thrash and heavy metal,” while Metal Injection wrote “rip-roaring… leaves absolutely no survivors in its wake.”
1/17/25 HAZZERD release "The 3rd Dimension"once again featuring cover artwork by Andrei Bouzikov (Municipal Waste, Toxic Holocaust, Skeletonwitch).
“’The 3rd Dimension’ portrays our human influences through media. Whether that be tv, movies, music, or video games. Each song tells its own story through a narrative inspired by something created in the 3rd Dimension (3D media)."
