CLOSED FOR TONIGHT was a metalcore / progressive metal band from Ontario, Canada, formed as a three piece by Arian Teymourian on drums, Samuel Cheung on bass and Sung Jun Park (a.k.a. Chin) on guitars. They started out as a punk pop band, but moved to a heavier and more progressive style with the addition of Jordan Kendal on guitars. Samuel Cheung left the band a year after its formation and was replaced by Grant Ellis.
Shortly after releasing their first album Balance and Illusions, Jordan Kendal, Arian Teymourian and SJP (Lead Vocals) disbanded Closed For Tonight and formed Mirrelia in May 2010. The band quotes Avenged Sevenfold, Dream Theater, Dragonforce and Between The Buried And Me amongst their influences and this is a reflection on their style: a mix of new metalcore with classic progressive metal.
