Final Stage is a classic/power metal band from Windsor, Ontario, Canada. The band began in 2004 under the name Ignite, playing cover songs from bands including: Accept, Skid Row, Metallica, and Judas Priest. Under this line-up the band performed across the county for over a year. After performing as a 4-piece for a year, the band split, with the drummer and lead guitarist leaving to pursue other interests. Founding members Brandon Wright (Guitar/Vocals) and Josh Kurkjian (Bass) stumbled upon drummer TJ Dowhaniuk in October 2005. As a 3-piece Final Stage wrote several songs together and performed with such heavyweight bands as The Black Maria, and Paul Dianno.
In May 2006 the group invaded Spectre Sound Studios to record a 4-song EP entitled Flight of the Phoenix. Released in August 2006, the band received worldwide praise from dozens of publications and airplay from nearly every continent (notably 11/12 in Heavy! Magazine, among many others). In early 2007 TJ left the group, being replaced by Justin Humphrey.
May 2007 marked Final Stage's return to the studio once again to record a full length follow up to Flight of the Phoenix. The new CD, "Through the Mirror", was released on November 30th 2007 and is available at over a dozen retailers worldwide. Boasting a top-notch production and a multiplying fan base, Final Stage is ready to explode.
