“Our single “Bloody Merry” is about the longing and aching for blood through seduction. Making people succumb to the seduction or be my next meal.” – Anarcheon

“first executive officers of sonic extremity, meting out judicious servings of melody and enmity.” – Factory Worker Media

STORY ANGLES / FUN FACTS ABOUT THE BAND
1. Kaija – When I was first meeting Sylvain I asked him to meet me at a local pub. What I didn’t tell him was that it was a pub my cousin works at. I made sure we sat at the bar where she was working just in case she had to save me from a weirdo. HAHAHA. But of course, the meeting went amazing, we clicked right away and immediately wanted to work together. Later I found out it was actually Sylvains birthday, haha!
2. We track and produce all our new music with Matt Roach at Rain City Recorders.
3. Sylvain the bass player is the main writer for the band.
4. We are all pretty nerdy and funny. When we aren’t playing music you can catch us laughing our asses off at stupid stories we make up, doing karaoke, drinking hot sauce or playing Magic the Gathering in the jam house basement.

Vancouver, BC’s ANARCHEON was formed in 2015 and features vocalist Kaija Kinney, founder of Metalocalypstick Fest, the BC metal fest celebrating women in metal, along with guitarist Clayton Bach, bassist Sylvain Maltais and drummer Steve “Machine” Richardo (ex-Messiah, ex-Green Jellÿ). With a band name playing off the word Anarchy, ANARCHEON is more of a Frankenstein of their various influences. Demonstrating shemonic screams, catchy riffs, and energetic heavy bass leads, the band has released an EP “Stratusfear” in 2017, two stand-alone singles in 2020 “Sir.Traline” and “Headless Horseman”.
Now in 2021, the band is ready to serve up their next recording, the single “Bloody Merry”, a stand-alone track to usher fans into their planned EP “Scary Tale” for later release this year.
“We wanted to release it as a single before our EP came out. The song sets the tone for the EP “Scary Tale” nicely and prepares you with a little taste of blood in your mouth.”
ANARCHEON has shared the stage with multiple bands from the Western Canadian metal scene and beyond such as Nervosa, The Agonist, Butcher Babies, and more.
