Deadline to submit December 21st.
Year six of these battles is a very exciting one because, for the first time, Wacken Metal Battle Canada will be expanding to St. John's, NL and Halifax, NS to make the competition officially coast to coast. A full list of participating regions listed below.
ON - Toronto
ON - Hamilton
ON - Ottawa
QC - Montreal

In addition to the expansion to the East coast, Wacken Metal Battle Canada will be hosting the 2019 national final for the first time in Western Canada. The host city will be Calgary, AB, moving it from Toronto, ON, where the national final has been held for the last 5 years.
Wacken Metal Battle Canada organizer JJ Tartaglia comments:
"I think these new changes for 2019 will be a big help in keeping Metal Battle Canada exciting for both the bands and the audience. The idea of moving around the national final has been tossed around for a while now, so holding the finals in Calgary this year will be a refreshing twist on the structure. And the East Coast! As a Maritimer myself, I couldn't be happier with the addition of Halifax and St. John's, now making these events truly coast to coast."
Winner of this year's Wacken Metal Battle Canada national final will receive $2,000 CAD towards airfare to travel and perform at the 30th edition of Wacken Open Air taking place from August 1st – 3rd, 2019 in Wacken, Germany. The Canadian champion will also have the opportunity to win monetary and gear prizes from the international Wacken Metal Battle.
