After more than 14 years, the time has come to announce the retirement of Hellbound.ca.

Since launching in 2009, the site has published over 4,000 articles from dozens of contributors worldwide, establishing a truly unique space in the Canadian metal scene. We are incredibly proud of the history we built together; a home for music journalism that celebrated Canadian acts, produced Canadian-specific year-end lists, and provided a platform for a wide variety of voices

This decision comes after a loss of momentum for the site, especially following the loss of our long-time editor, Laura Wiebe.

While new updates will cease, we believe the incredible work of all our contributors deserves to remain accessible. To that end, we are now working on archiving the entire site so that all content will be permanently preserved.

Thank you to everyone for your dedication and for being a part of this amazing journey. We are truly proud of what we accomplished.
