Our History

Established in 1978, Metalworks Recording Studios was originally the creative workspace for the legendary Canadian supergroup Triumph. From these humble beginnings, Metalworks expanded over a 40+ year time span into a six-studio powerhouse that today ranks as Canada’s consummate world-class studio facility.

Metalworks has been recognized as Canada’s Studio of the Year an unprecedented 17 times at the prestigious CMW Canadian Music Industry Awards. Metalworks has become the undisputed leader in the recording studio business in Canada. It is little wonder that Gold & Platinum record awards line the corridors at Metalworks.

Artists such as Drake, Lil Wayne, Katy Perry, Jonas Brothers, Sade, Prince, Tina Turner, David Bowie, The Cranberries, Ashlee Simpson, D12, Guns N Roses, Silverchair, Bruce Springsteen, NSYNC and Christina Aguilera all chose to make themselves part of the Metalworks legend. Film stars Catherine Zeta-Jones, Renee Zellweger, Steven Seagal, Richard Gere, and Denise Richards to name a few have graced the halls at Metalworks.

Canadian superstars Rush, Sum 41, Feist, K-OS, Sam Roberts, Billy Talent, Barenaked Ladies, Metric, Johnny Reid, Simple Plan, Tom Cochrane, Triumph, Our Lady Peace, Tea Party, Bachman-Cummings, Anne Murray and Nelly Furtado illustrate the studio’s long-standing relationship with Canadian talent.

It is not only the artists that have contributed to Metalworks’ success.
