WACKEN METAL BATTLE CANADA is proud to announce MUTANK (Montreal) WMBC 2014 champion. After hundreds of submissions and over 100 bands selected to compete in battles across the country, five bands remained representing their cities on Saturday, June 7 at Opera House (735 Queen St E.) for the WMBC National Final. Neck of The Woods from Vancouver, Exit Strategy from Calgary, Mutank from Montreal plus My Hollow and Burning The Day from Toronto all took the stage to a packed crowd at Opera House where they were judged by a panel of music industry that included Robb Reiner (Anvil), Noel Peters (Inertia Entertainment), Lindsay Schoolcraft (Cradle Of Filth), Jon Asher (Asher Media Relations), Adam Sewell (Riot, Rock Management / Stereo Dynamite), Darrell Shelley (Scene Magazine), Tim Henderson (BW&BK), Drew Copland (Villainizer). "Saturday night was an incredible display of talent from across the country. Each band proved that they deserved to be on that stage. With great pride we will send off thrash metal powerhouse and new champions Mutank to Wacken." comments WMBC organizer JJ Tartaglia.
