 Protest the Hero are a Canadian Progressive Metal/Avant-Garde Metal band, who began life playing somewhat straightforward Punk, and got more and more progressive with each release.The band formed in 2001 when all the members were 13 years old and were originally named Happy Go Lucky. They later changed their name in 2002 to Protest the Hero, as a reference to Canadian rock band Hail the Villain, and released their Search for the Truth EP which got them recognised in the Canadian underground hardcore scene. The next year saw the release of their A Calculated Use of Sound EP.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In 2004 they release their debut album Kezia which marked a large shift in their style and tone. Instead of the aggressive hardcore punk they had been known for, Kezia was a Progressive Metal Concept Album which told the tale of a young girl facing execution for an unknown crime. Throughout the album the events are described by three characters, the prison priest, the prison guard and Kezia herself.2008 saw the release of their sophomore effort, Fortress, which once again was a further move into Progressive Metal and also a Concept Album around the idea of the loss of goddess worship and gradual move towards organised religion.Scurrilous, released in 2011, saw another shift in style from Progressive Metal Concept Album to a more Hard Rock sound. A large contributor to this shift was that for this album the lyrics were co-written by lead vocalist Rody Walker and bassist Arif Mirabdolbaghi, who had penned all the lyricism for the previous albums. Reception to this album was rather divided.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })In 2013 the band were dropped from their label and drummer Moe Carlson decided to leave the band to pursue an education. They launched a successful Indie Go Go campaign and, along with help from Chris Adler on Drums, they managed to release their latest album Volition. Continuing on from the style they had developed on Scurrilous, Volition was lyrically written by Rody alone and deals with a lot of his own personal beliefs towards politics, religion, the music industry and the future of the band itself.Another departure occurred in 2014 when bassist Arif Mirabdolbaghi decided to focus on other projects and was replaced by touring bassist Cam McLellanTo date, they have released 4 albums, 3 EP's and 1 live album.Members:Current
