BAND BIO
Emerging from Toronto, Ontario, VALYEAR has rapidly ascended as a hard-charging force in the alternative/metal landscape, channelling the raw energy of Skid Row, the rebellious spirit of Mötley Crüe, and the intense grit of Drowning Pool into a sound that is unmistakably their own. Founded in 2014 by the dynamic frontman Chad Valyear, the band solidified its identity with the 2017 self-titled EP-a powerful statement recorded with studio collaborators that ultimately paved the way for a permanent, tightly-knit lineup featuring Geoff Wilson on guitars, Joe Petralia on bass, and Mane Ribeiro on drums. Together, they deliver not just music, but an electrifying experience defined by moody intensity, razor-sharp precision, and an undeniable on-stage camaraderie that resonates deeply with fans. VALYEAR's signature blend of grooveladen riffs and introspective, emotionally charged lyrics revives a long-missing swagger in modern rock-a bold, authentic presence that refuses to be ignored. With every performance, they reclaim the soul of hardhitting rock 'n' roll, forging deep connections with audiences and leaving an indelible mark on every stage they command. More than just a band, VALYEAR represents a revival-proving that passion, power, and unity still have a dominant place in today's musical world.
ALBUM BIO VALYEAR AN INVITATION TO CHAOS
ALBUM BIO VALYEAR AN INVITATION TO CHAOS
shares the ugly side of addiction, narcissism, and promiscuity that comes in active drug use. The album is the story of a man's ascent to enlightenment from the darkest of bottoms. It follows the journey of lead singer, Chad Valyear's fall and rise into a broader spiritual world with it's dark but inviting lyrical content, hard hitting musical execution by guitarist, Geoff Wilson, bassist Joe Petralia and drummer, Mane Ribeiro. An Invitation To Chaos is a searing, unvarnished chronicleof Chad Valyear's tumultuous journey through a life shaped by trauma, self-destruction, and the relentless pursuit of redemption. Born into an environment where violence was a constant and stability a myth, Valyear's narrative snakes through the underbelly of a world where biker-bar grit, substance-fueled oblivion, and the seductive allure of rock 'n' roll collide leaving wreckage in their wake. This isn't a sanitized account of struggle; it's a visceral dive into the raw, unfiltered chaos of a man who survived the gravitational pull of addiction, fractured relationships, and the corrosive weight of inherited pain. With a voice that marries brutal honesty to dark humor, Valyear dissects his own failures and triumphs, offering no easy answers but illuminating the messy, jagged path to selfawareness. For professionals navigating complex personal or organizational challenges, his story serves as a stark reminder that transformation is not born from perfection but from the courage to confront one's shadows, piece together fragments of brokenness, and forge meaning in the aftermath of col lapse. It's a testament to the resilience of the human spirit-messy, unglamorous, and ultimately, defiantly alive

BEHIND THE TRACKS AN INVITATION TO CHAOS:
BEHIND THE TRACKS AN INVITATION TO CHAOS:
Shows a new level and a new vulnerability for VALYEAR as they explore all their influences and visit musical areas they avoided in the past. It is a dark but victorious journey through the mind of a soul that has found its place in the world it doesn't understand. PSYCHO: Sees the sadness of the people around you not knowing what to do with you when you are no longer the source of their chaos and setting you up to fail. PALE FACE: Tells the story of watching the people or person you love die in front of you as you fight for your own life. SCREAMS: Visits the life of somebody who doesn't realize how transparent they are in their struggles. Believing nobody can see their pain not realizing so many people suffer from the same mental illnesses and are able to see it very clearly, which keeps them in their chains as they are afraid to ask for help, but being able to extend the hand needed to pull them out of the fire. HUMAN GOD: Places humans on a false pedestal while replacing addiction with a need for human connection. SUFFER: (Featuring Marc Rizzo of Soulfly): Shows the gift of desperation. Begging for the strength to either die or stay alive. SLOWLY WE FADE: Shows what happens once people can't place you in the box, they see you in anymore. It's about losing your former self and the exhaustion of rebirth
