Nefastus Dies is a black/death metal band from Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

History

The band formed in summer 2005 and two months later, released their promo cd 'Prelude'. They then embarked on a promotional tour to support the recording in january 2006. In march 2006 they entered Yannick St-Amand's studio to record their first full length album 'Urban Cancer'. They then signed with an undergound label but quickly realised that this label did not have the proper ressources to promote this album. The band bought back every copy the label had printed and bought out the contract to seek out a more adequate label. The band went out and played several shows including their first american/canadian tour. This got the attention of UKs Siege Of Amida Records who signed them. Urban Cancer was then released through SOARs american partner Candlelight USA.
