Fragile Existence

Fragile Existence is a Toronto, ON-based metal band founded by guitarist and vocalist Dan Glover (ex-Nephelium, Elegy of Suffering). They are often referred to as death metal for simplicity's sake, but draw influences from many aspects of extreme metal. They combine their various influences into a sound that is all their own. The vocals range from guttural roars to ethereal shrieks, and the complex, cascading guitar solos are anchored by hammering, vicious drumming. Fragile Existence is a band that is smart and aggressive, predatory in spirit and sound.
Fragile Existence was originally conceived as a creative outlet for for Dan Glover, who wanted to take the music he was writing off paper. Once he began to breathe horrible, radiant life into the project, it soon became apparent that this was not just a creative exercise, but a distinct musical entity. Glover soon recruited drummer Max Klebenoff, which gave Fragile Existence an engine. Together, Glover and Klebenoff revisited the writing process. A full album began to take shape, soon titled Departing the Damned. The cover art for this upcoming album was created by John Zig (Suffocation, Disgorge, Vile). Eventually, writing and rehearsing was no longer enough, and virtuoso guitarist Eric Machacek joined the line-up, enabling the band to perform live and take that crucial step out of the studio.
Their first single, “Honour Among Thieves” has earned them positive attention and speaks well of the album to come. Fragile Existence recently performed at the Nephilium CD release party on August 20th 2011. They were featured on a digital recording prepared specifically for this event, which also featured Nexortus, Beyond Creation and Nephelium.
Wasting no time and taking no prisoners, Fragile Existence are already making a name for themselves in the Toronto metal scene as a dynamic, ambitious band with a fresh, aggressive sound.
