Bio
Aquila is a heavy metal band from South-western Ontario.. both furious and melodic; their sound consists of machine gun rhythms, intense guitar work and the catalyst: death metal vocals were all brought to the forefront of the audible threshold to result in a face punching listening experience. Founded in 2006 by drummer Matt McGuire and guitarist Anthony Rimac while living together in Windsor Ontario, they decided to create heavy music and search for other members for the band. After Mike Percy (Bassist) and Matt Shelson (guitarist) joined the band, they tried out many different vocalists and finally called upon Mark Arruda to fill the role. Once this lineup was established, Aquila was born! In June of 2007, Aquila entered the studio to record their first 3 song demo with Glenn Fricker of Spectre Sound, and then a second demo in early 2008. During this time, they played a number of shows throughout southwestern Ontario and began establishing a small, but awesome fan base among the southwestern Ontario metal-heads. In 2009, Aquila entered the studio with a new member, Chase Bryant (Bass) and began work on their debut album, Imperium. After a rousing CD release party, Aquila embarked on the road with their good friends Odium from Hanover, and completed a 3 week tour of the east coast, followed shortly by an independant tour out West, throughout the praries, Alberta, and British Columbia. Aquila has booked over 110 shows and three full tours, from coast-to-coast throughout all of Canada. They have worked closely with CDN records to distribute their album, and have had the support of an awesome fan base in Ontario and across Canada to keep them motivated and excited about bringing their brand of metal to the ears and faces of music fans across Canada, and eventually the world. Currently, they are hard at work on a brand new album and enjoying the return of two original members, Mike Percy (Bass) and Anthony Rimac (guitar). Stay tuned for this metal machine to melt more faces, drink more beer, expose more tubes, and generally cause mayhem and destruction everywhere they go!

"A notable difference between Aquila and other Southern Ontario bands is that they thrash throughout their songs, have great guitar leads and refrain from plastering breakdowns throughout their music. They keep it raw and interesting. Everyone should pick up a copy of Imperium next time Aquila comes to your town. This band will be legend... Wait for it.... dary. " -PureGrainAudio.com
