Bio
Raid For Blood Diamonds is currently a three piece experimental and melodic hardcore band hailing from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Formed in 2006 by a group of friends that simply wanted to freak out, have fun, and create, they have since shared the stage with numerous praise-worthy acts, including Emarosa, Greeley Estates, Dead and Divine, and Love Hate Hero, and have caught radio air time on 102.1 FM The Edge's Punkorama and Indie Hour shows. Raid aims at producing high-energy emotive songs that are capable of reaching music lovers from across the spectrum, and truly believe they have achieved this on their latest effort, "The Haunting Of..." EP, produced by Derek Hoffman (Brighter, Brightest, To Cherish) and due out this winter! Active and growing in the GTA hardcore scene, the boys continuously work hard at making and performing original music from the heart

As always the best place to listen to Anger Management is in the live venue! Make sure you can get to one of these shows and experience the brutal, groove laden, thrash laced, sonic decapitation on offer!
