Death Sentence stepped onto the scene in the mid-1980s, quickly becoming known for intense live performances and a relentless touring schedule across Canada and into the Pacific Northwest. Their early records, Not a Pretty Sight (1985) and Stop Killing Me (1988), released on fringe labels Undergrowth and Fringe Product respectively, remain touchstones of Canadian hardcore. The band weathered lineup changes, the loss of Pete Keller (Pete Cleaver) in 1994, and a disbandment around 1991, with sporadic reformations in the 1990s and 2000s. In 2025, they re-emerged with new material, including Statue of Misery, and a string of live dates that bring their legacy back to life for new and longtime fans alike.
