The End were a Canadian mathcore/metalcore band based in Mississauga, Ontario. Their sound has been compared to that of The Dillinger Escape Plan[1] and deathgrind group Discordance Axis, as well as Neurosis.

History[]

The End formed in 1999; at that time the members were lead singer Tyler Semrick-Palmateer, guitarists Steve Watson and Andrew Hercules, bassist Sean Dooley, and percussionist Anthony Salajko.[2]

The band's debut full-length album Transfer Trachea Reverberations from Point: False Omniscient was released in 2001,[3] and won a Canadian independent music award for metal album of the year in 2002. The band then went on a summer tour in the US with The Abandoned Hearts Club, followed by a Canadian and US tour with Between the Buried and Me and Life Once Lost.[4][5]

Their second album, Within Dividia was released in January, 2004 through Relapse Records.[6] The band than toured Canada with The Abandoned Hearts Club again.[4] Their third album, Elementary, was released on Relapse Records in February, 2007.[7] The band made some changes in their musical style for this album, including some partially sung vocals and more melodic song structure.[8]
