Betrayer, cool name.

I'm gonna check out the site after work...

I took a listen, cool. Kinda in between Rush and Black Sabbath to my ear. My metal days are mostly behind, but if you like take a listen to a few of the tunes we have up at www.soundclick.com under the band name Phybes. Maybe you'll find something you'd like to record or maybe you'll find yourself looking for a co-writer. Good luck with your tunes.

Thanks Robair, hope you liked the site!!! Believe it or not I came across the name Betrayer by flipping through the dictionary (to try and find a band name lol). We used to be called Swarm but then another band took that name.

Hey figfarmer thanks for taking a listen to our stuff. Two great bands you mentioned & I take that as a huge compliment. I'll check out your songs and get back to you on here

We regret to announce that the June 19th, 2004 show at Mackie's Taigh Osda in Toronto, Ontario has been cancelled beyond the band's control. The venue has been shut down for an unspecified reason. We want to apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and we plan to reschedule another Toronto date soon.

The debut album Rusted Icons by Betrayer is now available for purchase at all HMV and Chapters locations across Canada through their catalogue. Ask a sales representative at your local HMV or Chapters for more details about how to purchase Rusted Icons through their catalogue. Rusted Icons can be purchased using cash, debit, credit card or any other purchase method that your local HMV or Chapters offers. For any questions or concerns please email us at [email protected].

Are you going to come out West. Edmonton area to be more precise???

Hey twistedsoda,

We currently don't have any plans to gig any further than southern Ontario in the immediate future but we'd love to expand our range of gigging. An ideal situation would be if a more established touring band would pick us up as an opening act. But if that doesn't happen we still plan on trying to tour ourselves. Right now we're planning on recording a 3 song demo in September, followed by our second full length release (with or without the support of a label). After that we'll want to promote it with extensive gigging. My dream would be to play all over the world in as many places as possible.

If you are at all interested in possibly helping us out with arranging shows or being involved with the band in a business sense you might want to give our street team section on our site a look. It's a really interactive unique system that keeps track of all your promotional efforts in real time. We really want to have more like a business partner relationship with our street team members and have them gain the most out of helping us in return as oppose to people just promoting us because they are fans and receive no prizes or financial rewards in return. We're not trying to "buy" fans but rather give our fans as much power as possible, to become distrubutors, regional representatives, booking agents etc.

If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask, cya.

Betrayer will be performing at the Hard Rock Cafe (Club 279) in Toronto, Ontario on August 27th, 2004 with Warmachine, Endorphins and Shatterpoint. This show is presented by Metal Queen Management. CDs will be on sale for $10.

Betrayer would like to thank everyone for their continued support and patience for the 'Shadowed Force' EP. After a number of unfortunate delays we are finally ready to bring the new release into light and share it with you all. The EP has been demoed to a few select groups with overwhelming positive responses from them all – and we are very much looking forward to your reaction to the new material.

To launch the new EP, Betrayer has several news items that are noteworthy:

The 'Shadowed Force' EP and t-shirt are now available for pre-order through our online store. Purchases can be made using PayPal (no account required), cheque, cash, or money order. The new EP information is also listed under the 'Discography' section as well as the online store. All orders will start shipping on March 22nd, 2005.

Street team members are reminded that their orders and pre-orders receive a 20% discount. Buy in bulk and receive awesome savings – a great way to sell Betrayer merchandise to your local metal fans and make money for yourself!

We also have a special package available through our online store that consists of the 2004 print of the 'Rusted Icons' LP and the 'Shadowed Force' EP. This package is a great idea for collectors or newer Betrayer fans that don't own either of the albums or own an older print.

Betrayer is also extremely excited to announce that we will have a global online listening party for the 'Shadowed Force' EP. The listening party will take place through our online chatroom on March 20th, 2005 at 12:00pm EST – make sure to arrive early to hear the entire EP from beginning to finish and to share your thoughts with the band and fellow fans. For anyone interested in attending please click the link at the bottom to ensure that you will be able to access the chatroom without any problems.

To coincide with the EP release, Betrayer will also be running two great competitions exclusively for street team members.

The first contest begins February 15th, 2005 and will end March 22nd, 2005. The street team member that can generate the most pre-orders for the new EP and t-shirt will win a deluxe gift package in addition to the 20% cash commission or bulk savings they would normally earn. For example, if the top selling street team member sells 100 CDs they would earn roughly $200 in addition to the deluxe gift package.

The second contest will begin March 22nd, 2005 and will end April 26th, 2005. For each week of the contest, the street team member that generates the most song downloads from our media section will be entered in the draw for the grand prize. If a street team member places first for song downloads again in one of the other competing weeks, the street team member with the following highest amount of downloads will be in the final draw. Once the five-week period is completed we will draw one grand prize winner that will receive a deluxe gift package.

The deluxe gift package includes the 'Shadowed Force' EP, 'Shadowed Force' t-shirt, the 'Rusted Icons' LP, a Betrayer embroidered hat, buttons, stickers and an autographed photograph. If the winning street team member has already pre-ordered any of the prize items, we will simply refund their original purchase.

For those interested in purchasing the upcoming EP or corresponding t-shirt, please remember that any pre-orders will greatly help the band in balancing our expenses for manufacturing and shipping of these items. Every order helps and aids us in reducing overall costs and we deeply thank everyone that considers placing a pre-order. Also keep in mind that any pre-orders and merchandise sales will be used to fund the next Betrayer full-length album, which is currently expected to begin recording during the 2005 calendar year.

If there are any questions, concerns, or comments – please feel free to contact us via the website, e-mail us at [email protected], or reach us by telephone at 1-(519)-791-5848. Orders by telephone will also be available through 1-(519)-791-5848.
