Formed in 2015 by singer/guitarist Pamtera and drummer Jefftimus, the Canadian quartet began writing material for their debut release. After the pandemic delay, Boneyard independently released the album "Oathbreaker". It eventually attracted the attention of Italy's WormHoleDeath Records. The label, and their affiliates, re-released the album in 2022 to a broader market, including Japan.
With it came singles and videos for the songs such as “Fates Warning”, “Oathbreaker”, and “Evil Ways”. Grammy nominated and Juno winning mastering engineer Maor Appelbaum (Faith No More, Annihilator, Dokken) mastered the album in Los Angeles.
Over the years, Boneyard has become a standout force in the Canadian rock and metal scene, performing across Western Canada at events like Decimate Metalfest, Pembina River Nights, and Shockerfest , and sharing stages with 96 Bitter Beings, KingDoom, and Deadwolff.
The band looks to build on the momentum and success of the first album with their upcoming sophomore independent release "Black Static", due in 2026.
The singles/videos “Pride Before The Fall”, “Compass Points To War” and “Hanging Tree”, all released in 2025, were met with tremendous response and have heightened the anticipation of the album’s release.
The band’s strength isn’t just in their riffs — it’s in their representation. With a Métis drummer and a female bassist from the LGBTQ+ community, Boneyard embodies inclusion, power, and authenticity while proudly flying the flag for hard rock and melodic metal.
