Two rad bands!Zero rad price!
Gnarwhal is a heavy alternative fuzz rock band from Yellowknife, Canada, carving out a distinct voice in Canada’s heavy underground. Since forming in 2022, they've been crafting a sound that fuses doom, grunge, and progressive metal — gritty, dynamic, and built on massive riffs and raw energy.
Their 2023 self-titled debut album earned a Western Canadian Music Award nomination and helped launch the band beyond the North. In 2024, they followed it up with Altered States, a more experimental EP that pushed their sound into spacier, weirder territory without losing the low-end punch and emotional weight that defines their music.
DIY to the core but driven in their ambition, Gnarwhal has toured across Canada, turning basements, bars, and proper stages into sweat-soaked sonic assaults. Their live shows are loud, cathartic, and rooted in a deep connection between the band and their audience — no frills, no posturing, just riffs and release.
Now a growing force in the national heavy scene, Gnarwhal is set to release their sophomore full-length in March 2026. The new album builds on everything they’ve done so far — heavier, sharper, and more unapologetically their own.
From the Canadian subarctic to the country’s loudest corners, Gnarwhal is forging their own path — heavy, heady, and hellbent on shaking the walls.
