SOND3R is a progressive metal trio from Ottawa, ON Canada who fuse technical precision, ambient textures and crushing heaviness. Jack Kuzmyk (Bass & Vocals), Vincent Belanger (Guitars) and Sean Connor (Drums) are all graduates of Algonquin College’s Music Industry Arts program – originally formed under the name “Nessie”, releasing one EP and a full-length album while attending their studies at Algonquin.

As their sound matured, so did their vision. In 2022, the band rebranded as SONDER, releasing their double concept album,  “Primordial Rule” as a five-piece. Following line up changes and creative evolution, the band streamlined into a powerful trio, and in 2025, SOND3R was officially born.

Recharged, redefined and ready to take their dark, immersive sound global, SOND3R is a must-hear experience.
