Derev is a Progressive Rock Band captivating global audiences with its innovative blend of Progressive Rock and traditional Middle-Eastern music. Founding member, Michel Karakach (Drummer), reunited with his best friend, Guitarist Armando Bablanian, to turn what was once a mere childhood dream into a powerful reality.

Derev’s debut release “Leap of Faith” melds the raw energy of hard rock with the rich textures of traditional Middle-Eastern music they grew up with, offering a fresh perspective on topics often overlooked in modern music. This distinctive sound quickly caught the attention of both local and international audiences, propelling Derev into a series of successful shows across Canada.
The band’s dynamic lineup now includes Bassist Stan Komarovsky, providing the backbone of Derev’s sound and Keyboardist Ran Zehavi, adding depth and complexity to the band. Leading the charge is Frontman and Vocalist Mike Symons, whose compelling presence and vocal prowess completes the ensemble. With each show, Derev continues to build on its reputation as a “must see” live band.

After meeting for the first time in 2010. Billy Frost (Guitar, Bass, Drums, Producer) and Shane Vanderlugt (Vocals, Lyrics) quickly found their chemistry and passion for writing and performing songs that can make you weep and make you rock all at the same time.
Throughout the years, they’ve seen numerous lineup changes, name changes, and musical direction changes. But the one consistent was always Billy and Shane at the forefront the entire time!!
Regardless of the continuous ups and downs, they continue to forge on with just the two of them at the helm. Under the Collusion name, Billy and Shane have released singles and now the newest full length album “Death became her”.
