Referred to as "...a Canadian history teacher's dream" (Edmonton Sun), Operation Winter Mist (OWM) have moved directly, and quickly, onto the international metal music scene.
OWM's various releases have garnered very favourable reviews and earned it a position on Brave Word's and Bloody Knuckles (CAN) magazine's "100 Most Important Canadian Metal Bands" list in 2006. Beginning with 2002's first official demo release, the Winter Warfare ep (Iron Coffin Productions, CAN) was given the "Demo of the Month" honour by Britain's foremost metal magazine, Terrorizer. This was followed up in 2004 with Winter Warfare II (Regimental Records, USA), a collection of the first remastered ep, new songs and live tracks that sold out it's run within seven months. This release also garnered exceptional reviews and moved the band into a cult status with a feature in the largest selling international metal magazine, Metal Maniacs (USA), the only Calgary band to have done so. 2005's Release, Imperial Grand Strategy (Die Todesrune Records, SPAIN), blasted through it's initial release, on both cd and vinyl formats, in six months and has seen a second fast selling run on cd by the label. The band was once again in Terrorizer (UK) magazine after this release, in which the feature article stated "...you can't do any better than Operation Winter Mist's debut album, Imperial Grand Strategy".

Operation Winter Mist is not a NS band and has NO political agenda.
OWM is a band that's subject matter is focused primarily on real war history and the brave men and women that sacrificed themselves to provide us with our freedoms.
May 2008 7th release of Goathorned Productions (WWW. GOATHORNED. COM) OUT NOW. VI (Fra) "De Praestigiis Daemonum" MCD 08 . This new blasphemous act was recorded at the BST studio ( Antaeus, Balrog, Deus Despectum...) during November 2007 Trades accepted, But Only Black Metal. www. myspace. com/vithdevotion .. www. myspace. com/cryfemal....
THE WAIT IS OVER!!! NHR RECORDS is proud to present the second full length offering from one of Canada 's most esteemed Black Metal acts. Geimhre's "Noidagh" is like nothing you've heard from the band before and will astonish with it's tireless brutal intensity!!! Featuring over 50 minutes of UNRELENTING Blackened Metal with the production to finally match their previous (brilliant!) outputs. With the production handled by the Lieutenant of Eagle's Nest Studios and the mastering provided by the indominable James Block of Rebarbative Productions (The Ravenous, Abscess, Xasthur), you can expect nothing more than the heaviest (and most aggressive!!!) recordings of the band thus far. The album also features contributions from long time allies Aufidena (Viking) Uno Actu and Gabor (Hunok) and comes in a beautifully designed package that needs to be seen to be believed! Needless to say, THIS IS NOT TO BE MISSED!!!
