Compass Points to War - Just Released!
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada – Canadian female-fronted melodic metal quartet Boneyard returns with their thunderous new single and video, "Compass Points to War," premiering Friday, May 30, 2025 , on YouTube. This is the second single from their forthcoming sophomore album, Black Static , and it’s a hard-hitting anthem packed with high-seas fury and commanding energy.
"Compass Points to War" plunges listeners into the heart of a high-stakes sea battle, driven by energetic riffs, a fierce vocal performance from frontwoman Pamtera , thunderous gang vocals that echo each cannon blast, and a soaring melodic guitar solo.
This track is essential listening for fans of Iron Maiden , Doro , and Halestorm .
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 Fates Warning, Oathbreaker, Born Again and Evil Ways. Grammy nominated and Juno winning mastering engineer Maor Appelbaum (Faith No More, Annihilator, Dokken) mastered the album in Los Angeles.
Boneyard has been privileged to be invited to perform at numerous Western Canadian festivals including Decimate Metalfest, Schwabfest and the long running Shockerfest. Locally, they have supported touring acts like 96 Bitter Beings, Deadwolff and Syryn just to name a few.
The band looks to build on the momentum and success of the first album. They are set to release the first single and video from their sophomore release "Black Static". The forthcoming album will also feature the band's latest lineup addition of bassist Lezzy Osbourne, and guitarist Garhardt.
The band members bring diversity with a Métis drummer, and a female bass player from the LGBTQ+ community.
Band line-up:
Pamtera - lead vocals, guitar
Lezzy Osbourne - bass guitar
Jefftimus - drums
Garhardt- lead guitar
