SENTIENT (OPEN YOUR EYES)

Treading Zero is a Canadian hard rock band from London, Ontario, delivering a high-energy sound built on weight, melody and intensity. Songs move from crushing riffs into open space, carry melody through their heaviest moments and build from restraint into full-force release. The band’s latest full-length album, Sentient (Open Your Eyes), was released November 6, 2026, featuring 11 original tracks, including Walk With Me, At The Gavel and the title track. The album was produced, engineered and mixed by Juno Award-winning producer Siegfried Meier at Beach Road Studios, with additional engineering by Michael Parkinson and mastering by João Carvalho.

At the centre of Treading Zero are Tony (vocals), Rob (guitar), Sarv (bass) and Jesse (drums), four distinct musical personalities whose individual influences come together in a sound that carries the same intensity on record as it does on stage.

Treading Zero has built an impressive live history, including reaching the finals of the CallHome Music Festival Battle of the Bands and earning a performance on the festival’s second stage, with a lineup featuring Bush, The Offspring, Matthew Good, Fefe Dobson, Gob, Econoline Crush and Sumo Cyco. Other highlights include the Sound of Music Festival Battle of the Bands finals and a performance at the Burlington Performing Arts Centre, CrewFest on a lineup featuring LIVE, Headstones, Our Lady Peace and Bif Naked, Beachfest in Grand Bend, and main-stage appearances at Railway City Music & Arts Festival.

More recently, the band has performed at Roots & Revival Festival, Dallas Nightclub in Kitchener and Capitol 33 in Delhi, leading into the November 6, 2026 release of Sentient (Open Your Eyes), celebrated with a packed album release show at The Back Alley Bar & Grill in St. Thomas.

Beyond the stage, Treading Zero has earned a Forest City London Music Award Fan Favourite nomination, coverage from Cashbox Canada, Tinnitist and Canadian Beats, and airplay on select Canadian radio stations.
