Weapon (band)

Weapon was a Canadian black/death metal band[1][2][3][4][5] formed by frontman Vetis Monarch in Calgary, Alberta in 2003.

After the formation of the band, Vetis temporarily moved to his birthplace of Dhaka, Bangladesh to record the Within the Flesh of the Satanist demo tape and the Violated Hejab EP.

Weapon signed with Relapse Records in 2011 and released their label debut, Embers and Revelations, in 2012.

[6] Subsequently, Weapon toured North America with Marduk and 1349 beginning in May 2012.

[11] Vetis Monarch said that he feels that further Weapon albums "would only be a black/death metal record by the numbers", which he felt would be stagnation.
