Bio
Referred to as "
...a Canadian history teacher's dream" (Edmonton Sun), Operation Winter Mist (OWM) have moved directly, and quickly, onto the international metal music scene.
OWM's various releases have garnered very favourable reviews and earned it a position on
Brave Word's and Bloody Knuckles (CAN) magazine's "
100 Most Important Canadian Metal Bands" list in 2006. Beginning with 2002's first official demo release, the Winter Warfare ep (Iron Coffin Productions, CAN) was given the "
Demo of the Month" honour by Britain's foremost metal magazine,
Terrorizer. This was followed up in 2004 with Winter Warfare II (Regimental Records, USA), a collection of the first remastered ep, new songs and live tracks that sold out it's run within seven months. This release also garnered exceptional reviews and moved the band into a cult status with a feature in the largest selling international metal magazine,
Metal Maniacs (USA), the
only Calgary band to have done so. 2005's Release, Imperial Grand Strategy (Die Todesrune Records, SPAIN), blasted through it's initial release, on both cd and vinyl formats, in six months and has seen a second fast selling run on cd by the label. The band was once again in
Terrorizer (UK) magazine after this release, in which the feature article stated "
...you can't do any better than Operation Winter Mist's debut album, Imperial Grand Strategy".
