For over 25 years, Burlington, Ontario’s Silverstein have been a driving force in Canadian heavy music. Blending the aggression of metalcore with the urgency of post-hardcore, the band has built a reputation for punishing riffs, screamed and clean vocals, and dynamic songwriting executed with precision and modern production.
Their eleventh album, Antibloom, is their heaviest and most ambitious work to date. Standout tracks “Skin & Bones”, “Stress”, and “Don’t Let Me Get Too Low” showcase razor-sharp performances, explosive breakdowns, and arrangements built around distorted guitars. The album’s impact extends beyond the heavy community, with “Skin & Bones” featured on the EA Sports NHL26 soundtrack — proof of its cultural resonance.
Silverstein’s career spans over 2,600 shows across 41 countries, more than 1 billion streams globally, a Gold-certified album (Discovering the Waterfront) in Canada, and two previous JUNO nominations. Their songs have been covered on American Idol, name-checked by celebrities like Margot Robbie, and sampled by Juice WRLD. With this legacy and an unwavering global fanbase, Antibloom stands as their clearest statement of aggression, proficiency, and excellence in heavy music.
