Shipping Worldwide! Meet The Band.

Arif Mirbaghi’s life could have been different.

Protest The Hero have carved an identity for themselves that is so revolutionary within heavy music that to call them "unique" would be like calling Louis C. Their storied career has earned them a Revolver Golden Gods Award, two Canadian Independent Music Awards, a Juno nomination, and millions of views online leading to a 1 debut in their home Canada.

It really rejuvenated us. It was a breath of new life. Radio is dead!

It’s hard to imagine Protest the Hero without Arif.

Rock music itself is very much alive and well. Protest The Hero expertly mine the most head-scratching strains of progressive minded metal music, excavating the melodic truths at the heart of the style. Now we bring parts back and expand on them. Volition boasts the heaviest song Protest The Hero has even written, "A Life Embossed," a fast-paced and complex barnstormer with dissonant guitars.

The first song the band wrote for the album musically, "Tilting Against Windmills" the title is from "Don Quixote" , rails against the homophobia of religious fundamentalists. They recorded their first 7" record when they were all just 13 years old and embarked on a "Rock The Vote" tour the day they finished high school. Scurrilous showcased a potent and broadened accessibility.

Protest The Hero drafted gargantuan heavy-hitter Chris Adler, best known as the driving force behind monolithic modern metal band Lamb Of God, to perform session duties during the Volition recording process.
