OUR HISTORY
The genesis of the Metalworks story begins with the incorporation of Design Staging Inc. on October 11, 1977; a sound company,
management hub and creative workspace for legendary Canadian Music Hall of Fame Inductees, Triumph. As Triumph’s ascent
in rock hierarchy evolved, the company’s name was changed to Metalworks. While the initial focus was on studio recording, the
Metalworks brand ultimately expanded to embrace multiple facets of the entertainment industry – from recording to live event
production to education.
Metalworks Studios has maintained an unsurpassed level of excellence spanning four decades; recognized for an
unprecedented fifteen times as Recording Studio of the Year at the CMW Canadian Music and Broadcast Industry Awards. The
studio has not only played host to an illustrious array of international recording artists, producers and film stars, but also
has maintained a vital role in the continuing development of emerging talent.
