PTH來(lái)自加拿大安大略省Whitby(惠特比)市,最初由主唱Rody Walker、吉他手Tim Millar、吉他手/鍵盤手Luke Hoskin、鼓手Morgan "Moe" Carlson以及貝斯手Arif Mirabdolbaghi組建而成,很難得的是,PTH一直保持著他們的原始陣容,從未曾有所更換。
樂(lè)隊(duì)首張EP《A Calculated Use of Sound》(《聲音的有計(jì)劃運(yùn)用》)在2003年發(fā)行,其中膾炙人口的單曲“These Colours Don't Run”(“這些顏色不要融化”)在唱片發(fā)行后不久即紅遍了整個(gè)加拿大安大略省,而PTH也隨著這支作品的走紅接下了若干現(xiàn)場(chǎng)表演的合約。并在2004年一舉贏得“加拿大獨(dú)立音樂(lè)大獎(jiǎng)”的最佳金屬樂(lè)隊(duì)獎(jiǎng)。
2005年,樂(lè)隊(duì)帶來(lái)了令歌迷們期待已久的首張正式專輯《Kezia》(《基洗亞》,《圣經(jīng)》中約伯的次女,編者注),更加模糊的風(fēng)格界限和愈發(fā)成熟的演奏技巧,人們不難從作品中嗅到PTH這支年輕樂(lè)隊(duì)的駕馭更復(fù)雜音樂(lè)的野心。不僅僅如此,樂(lè)隊(duì)還分別為專輯中的三支歌曲“The Divine Suicide of K”(“K的神圣自殺”)、“Blindfolds Aside”(“盲眼的旁白”)以及“Heretics and Killers”(“異教徒和殺手”)拍攝了精彩的MTV,新穎的構(gòu)思和創(chuàng)意讓這三部作品很快成為了電視臺(tái)的熱播曲目。另外,同樣是出自《Kezia》專輯中的歌曲“Divinity Within”(“神性的本質(zhì)”)與“Bury the Hatchet”(“停戰(zhàn)”)更是被電腦游戲廠商看中,分別被收錄進(jìn)了“NHL07”(NHL冰球2007)以及著名的Xbox游戲“Guitar Hero II”(吉他英雄2)當(dāng)中。PTH首張專輯所帶來(lái)的榮譽(yù)還遠(yuǎn)不止這些。2006年,樂(lè)隊(duì)先后榮獲“加拿大音樂(lè)周獨(dú)立音樂(lè)獎(jiǎng)”最佳樂(lè)隊(duì)殊榮,以及國(guó)際性音樂(lè)盛會(huì)“CASBY Award”(“加拿大獨(dú)立及另類音樂(lè)獎(jiǎng)”)大獎(jiǎng)。并且,PTH的樂(lè)手們還成為了ESP等多家著名樂(lè)器品牌的全球性代言人。
毫無(wú)疑問(wèn),PTH的驚人實(shí)力還在繼續(xù)震撼著整個(gè)重型樂(lè)壇。2007年1月,在眾人的掌聲與喝彩聲尚未消散之際,PTH已經(jīng)開始投入到了他們新的音樂(lè)創(chuàng)作當(dāng)中。同年8月,樂(lè)隊(duì)完成了他們第二張專輯的全部錄制工作,并開始踏上了著名的“Vans Warped Tour”巡演。新專輯《Fortress》(《堡壘》)在2008年初于Vagrant Records公司旗下發(fā)行。癲狂而神經(jīng)質(zhì)的超高頻嘶吼,Progressive與新古典主義速?gòu)椣嘟Y(jié)合的高速吉他演奏,別出心裁的Riff與極流暢的旋律水乳交融,而脫胎于Hardcore的兇悍鼓擊則完全展現(xiàn)出了一種更加技術(shù)化的水準(zhǔn),PTH再次彰顯出了他們天才式的瘋狂!而在歌詞中,樂(lè)隊(duì)直接地探討了女神崇拜以及被西方主流宗教壓抑了幾千年的女性地位話題。同樣,來(lái)自東方的成吉思汗與古老的愛爾蘭神話也成為了貝司手Arif創(chuàng)作歌詞的靈感之源。
PROTEST THE HERO并不僅僅是一支年輕的音樂(lè)團(tuán)體和對(duì)最先鋒重型搖滾樂(lè)模式的解構(gòu)與再造,他們更代表了一種面對(duì)生活中艱難與挫折時(shí)的勇氣與力量,是一種從憤怒與批判中提煉出的信念和責(zé)任,一種與生俱來(lái)的、卻不僅僅源于青春期荷爾蒙的對(duì)自由的向往、碰撞與抗?fàn)?!!
Combining technical metal and post-hardcore instincts, Whitby, Ontario's Protest the Hero comprised Rody Walker (vocals), Tim Millar (guitar/vocals), Luke Hoskin (guitar/vocals), Moe Carlson (drums), and Arif Mirabdolbaghi (bass/vocals). Starting as many bands do -- with a common musical passion found among high school friends -- Protest the Hero worked hard on developing their own identity; their sound soon became reminiscent of a combination of Coheed & Cambria, At the Drive-In, and Every Time I Die. They released the 7" Search for the Truth on Canada's Underground Operations in 2001 and followed up two years later with the EP A Calculated Use of Sound. Their music was getting noticed around the country, as they won Best Indie Metal Band at the 2004 Indie Music Awards in Toronto and had multiple appearances on the Canadian music channel MuchMusic. Relentless touring continued with a range of bands from Korn and Limp Bizkit to Bigwig and Sum 41. Protest the Hero issued their full-length, Kezia, a sort of concept album referred to by the band as a "situationist requiem," in 2005. Signing with Vagrant in early 2006, Kezia was re-released in the United States that April. In 2008, the band released its second album, Fortress.
