Bio
Exterminating since 2008, FUMIGATION is a 5 piece death metal band from Ottawa, ON, Canada. Signed to CDN Records.
Today's metal scene lacks bands with a constant theme, or at least an interesting one. Through this void enters FUMIGATION "Your Death Metal Pest Control Specialists". The theme of insects, rodents and chemicals is entertaining, insightful, and humorous all at the same time. From phobias to infestations, harbourages to feeding habits, FUMIGATION will dissect the situation and select the best method of control. This method usually comes in the form of groove laden death metal.
Fans have come to expect and appreciate an excellent stage presence and the right themed-look at live events and do not leave disappointed. The band has also been featured on various Canadian and international compilations, Canadian and internet radio stations, blogs, mobile game apps, print magazines, and more. FUMIGATION has been playing shows since 2009 supporting large underground metal acts such as Vital Remains, Napalm Death, Malignancy, Revocation, Dehumanized, Incantation, Immolation, etc. and have toured Quebec & Ontario including participation in several festivals.
FUMIGATION released the full length CD "Integrated Pest Management" in 2013 (CDN Records), the "Invasion" Split CD in 2017 (CDN Records), the "r0 5.7" EP in 2020 (S/R), full length "Structural Extermination" in 2022 (CDN Records), and 10 year old previously unreleased "The Lost EP" (S/R) also in 2022.
