Formed in the winter of 2003, Cry Of The Afflicted grew up together in their hometown, Kelowna, B.C.

“We were never a metal or a hardcore band,” explains vocalist Garrett Packer. “I’d say we’re more of a modern rock band with screaming. We’ve come almost full circle. At first we were all melody with a fraction of screaming. When we got on the road, hardcore was the popular thing and we were always the melodic band on the bill.” That balance couldn’t be more evident than on the band’s Solid State Records debut, The Unveiling.

The Unveiling captures the soaring and perfectly layered vocals of Packer, Johnson and bass guitarist and backing vocalist Nik Wagener without losing the distortion and precision of fellow band mates, guitarist Steve Lockhart and drummer Troy Doell. Another aspect that sets Cry Of The Afflicted apart from their contemporaries is the vocalist’s acute attention to lyrics.

Produced by Jeff Schneeweis (Number One Gun) and mixed by Tue Madsen (The Haunted, Sick Of It All, Himsa).

Cry Of The Afflicted will be performing at the Cornerstone Festival this year and then touring across America.
