Emerging from the Canadian capital of metal, Montreal, QC, Canada, CHÜZO is hitting the scene and beyond with a new EP entitled ‘M.T.M.D (Maximum Threshold, Minimum Decay)‘ to mark the latest chapter and a true representation of what their sound was meant to be with the fresh new lineup who are hungry to showcase what this forthcoming record will spark.
Featuring three tour de force tracks produced by Kevin Jardine (Slaves On Dope), the EP is a full audio assault upon all the senses from the heavy riffs to the soaring vocals of Brazilian transplant and new vocalist Mischa M. She is joined by local first generation Chilean Canadian and mastermind Cristian S. along with Carlos G from Venezuela and Alex S from Russia whom all have found Montreal, Canada to be home to breed their self-described ‘Aggro Metal’, which can be described as grindcore mixed with Swedish death metal and a touch of thrash metal crossed over into hardcore punk.
“Hopefully it will be received with open hearts and minds. The band has been trying to regain the buzz and hype, and with the new formation, we’re hoping to get more newer fans. The listener will receive a full audio assault upon all his senses from the heavy riffs, to the soaring vocals. The sound of the band evolved from, initially, grindcore, to hardcore, to now Aggro Metal. The evolution had to be this way because of the influence of certain early members that were pulling the sound of the band into a musical lane that was not the initial idea. Nonetheless, after the latest band member changes, this current lineup is focused on making the sound that we have developed on ‘M.T.M.D.’. This is finally what CHÜZO was meant to sound like after many years and many ex-band members. This mark III version of the band is the final evolution in the sound of CHÜZO.”
adds Cristian S.
The EP’s lyrics are driven by self-reflection and daily struggles.
The inspiration for writing comes from life experiences and trying to live past them, especially the traumatic ones.
Using all bad energy from bad experiences to create something positive for yourself and the world.
This EP speaks of vengeance and the bad side of dedicating your life to achieving your desired revenge despite your own life and sanity.
Brutal Social Justice.

‘The Brutalator’:
“It is a character that comes to each town or village to reclaim social justice to anyone who has been mistreated by greedy and evil parts of humanity.”
‘Brand New Cell’:
“This track is about dedicating your life to achieving vengeance upon your enemies, yet sacrificing your life, your loved ones, and your own sanity to get your revenge.”
‘Bruised and Broken’:
“Audio payback unto certain individuals who dared to try to sabotage the existence of CHÜZO.”

“We thought it was the best representation of what ‘Maximum Threshold, Minimum Decay’ meant, as a person who is being driven down by life and society, to just withstand the abuse, the injustice, the mistreatment, and coming out of the other side with ‘minimum decay’ from within his heart, mind, and soul.”
