Decimate MetalFest 2026 INTERVIEW
RELIC

1. What does playing Decimate Metalfest mean to you as a band?
1. It’s an extraordinary opportunity that gives us the chance to play alongside so many
awesome bands from across North America. This is a new experience for all of us in Relic,
we can’t wait to give Millet the best show possible.
2. What part of your sound or performance do you think the Millet crowd will enjoy
most?
2. The costumes, the pageantry, the light-show! And also our music too I guess.
3. How do you get ready for a festival show compared to a regular venue show?
3. With a stage and venue of this size we’re going to have a lot more room to work. Adam
has his work cut out for him in scaling up the lights to cater to an arena venue and we’re all
looking forward to the challenge and opportunity of playing to a bigger crowd on a bigger
stage.
4. What do you like about performing in smaller Alberta towns like Millet?
4. Truth be told, we have never played outside of Edmonton before so we’re really excited to
bring our sound to the people of Millet. We’ll be heading down early to explore all of the local
spots around Millet; Tyler is most excited for the museum.
5. Do you have any memorable or funny festival stories from past shows?
5. With this being our first festival opportunity, we’re looking forward to making some great
memories at Decimate alongside everyone that has made this event possible. If the
fundraiser shows were any indication of whats to come, the festival is going to be incredible
and we can’t wait to take in the big show!
6. What can fans expect from your set this year, anything new or different?
6. Masks, sweat, lights and whimsy.
7. Which other bands at Decimate are you excited to see or play alongside, and why?
7. We’re all excited to share the stage with an Alberta staple, the great Riot City, who we’ve
all be fans of for years. We’re also really looking forward to getting to know all of the bands
that make up this killer lineup that Decimate has put together. The depth of talent and
diverse mix of bands is sure to make it an unforgettable experience for everyone from all
corners of the metal community.
