Coming from a superb Canadian thrash pedigree featuring members of
Zimmer's Hole and
Strapping Young Lad, as well as having members involved with
Fear Factory and Dethklok,
Tenet makes classic, high-energy thrash metal that harkens back to a time when
Anthrax and
Slayer ruled the metal world. Originally formed in 1996 as a
SYL side project by
Jed Simon, the band was initially a studio project, with
Simon creating demos here and there and casually writing new material. After eventually signing with Century Media,
Simon began to assemble the people to finally make
Tenet a reality, recruiting
SYL members Gene Hoglan and Bryan Stroud, as well as Legacy's (later
Testament)
Steve Souza and
Forbidden's Glen Alvelais. Over a decade later, the band finally released their debut album,
Sovereign, on Century Media. ~ Gregory Heaney
