The band’s founder, MarzNova, named the band The Worshyp as a salute to how heavy metal fans love, and nearly worship,

their music as if it were a religion to them. The name has no ties to religion.

Marz Nova started The Worshyp as a solo project in 2007. After being unimpressed by the direction

that modern heavy metal was headed Nova composed a four songs demo. He uploaded the demos

to several social media sites under the name The Worshyp. Marz received such an overwhelming

response to the demos that he decided to compose a full-length album.

"I disliked the less melodic direction that modern heavy metal had been taking and I wanted to hear

some riff driven traditional metal with today’s lower tunings. To that end I began writing the

material for The Worshyp." Marz Nova - The Worshyp

In the spring of 2010 Marz recruited Danish guitarist Thor Rune as well as bassist Mig Diablo & KK

Devina both from Peru and former band members of Ex-Iron Maiden Vocalist Paul Di'Anno.

Singer/guitarist Marz Nova is from Toronto.

The Worshyp’s chemistry is based on strong vocal melodies sung over driving guitar riffs set to

today’s lower tunings. The band tries to keep their scope of music very broad mixing influences

from progressive rock to modern heavy metal.
