Strange Valley Productions presents:Sandveiss: Founded in Quebec City in 2011, SANDVEISS is a Heavy Rock band that offers music that is both heavy and melodic, reminiscent of Black Sabbath, Kyuss, Tool or Mastodon.
Their first album "Scream Queen", released in 2013 and reissued in 2014 on the Sexy Sloth label, won the Heavy Album of the Year award at GAMIQ 2015. That same summer, SANDVEISS performed on the Plains of Abraham during the FEQ (opening for High on Fire and Megadeth) and at the Heavy Montreal festival. 2016 was marked by the release of the 7" vinyl EP ("Save Us All", nominated for GAMIQ), as well as a tour in Sweden. After a few member changes and a fruitful writing period, SANDVEISS returned in 2019 with a second album. "Saboteur" is heavy, catchy and salutary. The following year, the band unveiled Sandveiss Bloody Sandveiss, a tribute to their roots in the form of four Black Sabbath covers. A third album will be released on October 11, 2024: "Standing in the Fire". Through this album, SANDVEISS addresses themes such as division, growing polarization and the toxicity of social networks, which they perceive as a reflection of a sick society. The result is a powerful and sincere album, which mixes musical intensity and lyrical depth.
The band is currently composed of Luc Bourgeois (vocals/guitar), Shawn Rice (guitar), Maxime Moisan (bass) and Dominic Gaumond (drums).
