From A Tyrant

Formed in late 2008, From A Tyrant is a metal band located in Clinton, Ontario, Canada. FAT (from a tyrant) formed after former A Picture So Graphic members, Stevie (the sex) Smith (Bass) and Andy Bolzenthal (Guitar) got together with Ty Searle (Drums). Ty has been well-known in the local area for various bar shows performing with a wide variety of acts that included anything from acoustic guitar acts to rap shows and everything in between. The three members quickly recruited vocalist, Jordyn (Syn) Durnin, as their front man, citing Searle as a reference to his vocal ability and song-writing skills. Durnin hung up his bass and left his position in his former band Minor Key Symphony (which also included Searle on drums) to pursue his new vocal ambition with From A Tyrant. Smith and Bolzenthal have been long-standing pillars in the local music scene and they're newest project promises to be their most impactful mark on the scene to date. Combining Durnin's lyrical creations with Bolzenthal's relentless guitar riffs and Searle and Smith's pounding rhythm section, From A Tyrant will be bringing the ruckus for years to come. From A Tyrant has shared the stage with many great bands over their career including; Baptized in Blood, Assassinate the Following, Terrorhorse, Dancing with Paris, Remember Us Always, and many more. 2010 brought the arrival of new rhythm guitarist Mark Wilkinson, which has added tremendous depth and versatility to the band. Production has been completed on their first album, which is scheduled for release in early March.
