SENATE is the newest dominant force in Canadian Metal.
Alongside such young, talented heavyweights as Threat Signal, Despised Icon and Protest The Hero, SENATE are part of a suddenly thriving Canadian metal scene ready to take the torch from legendary acts such as Voivod and carry it into the future on a global scale.
SENATE combine elements of Thrash, Black Metal, and Melodic Metal to forge an ultra-aggressive, hook- laden style of their own.
SENATE is comprised of five members: Matt Di Franco (Vocals, Programming), Jay Siebert (Lead Guitar), Jay Hudson (Rhythm Guitar), Colin Lernell (Bass) and Patrice Hamelin (Drums). Patrice Hamelin is also a member of legendary Quebecois tech metal band Martyr.
SENATE's roots date back to 2003, but the band really became the complete unit it is today with the addition of Patrice as a permanent member in the summer of 2006.
On Dec 17 2006, SENATE independantly released its full length debut album 'The Great Northern Scenekill'. The (self-financed) record was recorded at Silo Studio in Hamilton, ON with Producer Julius "Juice" Butty (Alexisonfire, Protest The Hero, Cancer Bats).
The album was mastered at Antfarm Studios in Denmark by Tue Madsen (Rob Halford, Lamb Of God, The Haunted). Bass duties on "The Great Northern Scenekill" were performed by Marco Bressette of Threat Signal.
The album contains eight sonic slabs of masterfully executed metal. Each track reveals the band's high level of depth, maturity and dedication to their craft, elements not typically associated with young bands on a debut record.
No quantizing or sound replacement was used in the creation of 'The Great Northern Scenekill'.
The band recently completed a very successful mini-tour of Ontario and Quebec with tech-metal masters Martyr.
