Winnipeg, Canada's KEN mode plays metallic noise rock with touches of post-metal, hardcore, sludge and doom-a product of long, hard winters culminating in a sound that whips, pummels and lacerates it's audience like a wicked Manitoba wind. The power trio bares only the essential ingredients necessary to deliver maximum impact and is an exercise in efficiency and ferocity. Since 1999, they have played all over Canada, the US and Europe with the likes of Pelican, Daughters, Buried Inside, the End, Gaza, Engineer and Taint, and done various regional dates with Mastodon, Burnt by the Sun, Cursed, Baroness, Bison BC, Propagandhi, These Arms Are Snakes, Despised Icon, etc.
