Known as the heart of Canada’s petroleum production, the area’s resource extraction makes the economy as thick as the boreal forest that surrounds Northeast Alberta. In tandem, however, it shatters that environment with a lethal level of self-induced pollution. For Henderson, that strange and eternally mystifying part of the world almost exists outside civilization.

It was in this context that Henderson met a friend in Truck Violence’s eventual guitarist, Paul Lecours. Lecours moved to Alberta from Ontario at a young age, and the two bonded over a mutual love of hardcore, noise, and anything that would stimulate their young minds. The duo relocated to Montréal immediately after graduating high school to pursue music, finally arriving at a new debut full-length, Violence, which contains their most impressive work to date. 

Violence is abrasive, overwhelmingly volatile, and as heavy as a black hole. It shakes the Earth with the power of a volcanic eruption and buckles any speakers that dare play it. For Henderson, it’s a direct response to what he witnessed while moving from small-town Alberta to big-city Québec. “A lot of things that you’d see [in Montréal] can be quite shocking,” he says. “Things like human ingenuity or whether that’s just feeling like a drop in the bucket, whether that’s experiencing what this epidemic of homelessness really looks like up close and personal.”
