it won't sound the same its never gonna be the band it once was.

People keep saying this but they continue to forget the main composer is the only one left and that's all that matters.

And judging by the song they previewed a while ago for the upcoming album, it doesn't sound like much has changed. I'm betting on a 2013 release even though it's slated for sometime in 2012.

Troy will see... its not always a matter of composing, but you know the live part is important

I personally don't care about live performances as I don't go to shows...

Although Quo Vadis released one of the best live DVDs I've ever seen. So I'll agree with you this time.

I have crippling panic attacks in large crowds. Like, anything that involves more than 50 people in one confined space at a time.

Not necessarily. Agoraphobia is a rather vague term but it doesn't really target my specific issue.

For the sake of an easy explanation I just say I have a mild case of agoraphobic tendencies, although I could care less about what the official diagnosis would be. I just don't do crowds.

I'd love to catch some underground métal noir Québécois shows if I could. I know this is about Québéc's tech-death scene but honestly I much prefer it's black metal scene.

Monarque goes to Toronto once in a while, Forteresse too. Not sure you would see many other metal noir in your area though.

Just out of curiosity : What Metal Noir bands are you fond of?

I don't think I've been disappointed by one yet. Gris, Forteresse, Akitsa, Sombres Forêts, Neige et Noirceur, Brume d'Automne, Csejthe, Monarque, etc.

I am very happy to see that some of our bands are making themselves a reputation outside of Quebec and outside of Canada. Not only happy, but proud.

The union between Gris and Sombre Forêts, Misere Luminis, is worth checking out as well.

Oh for sure, I have a nice little relationship going with Sepulchral Productions so I'm no stranger to those bands.

(Plus I reviewed Il était une forêt... here a while ago and gave it a 9.5/10.)

You can always contact them. They seemed like nice guys when I booked them a few years ago, and I'm sure would listen if you offered them a show.

But didn't they say that they would cease doing shows as Misere Luminis? Nonetheless, most of the bands mentionned by Troy would listen if you offered them something. ''If you book them, they will come''

Now I know the experience comes with the job but...how many bands/albums have you listened to!

Never enough, unfortunately. Probably only... what, 1500 albums or so. Always working to increase the totals though!

I'm not a booking agent

I'll email them though and see if they'd be up for it. It's a 20 hour drive from quebec here.

There's no such thing as a booking agent dude It's just called someone who has the initiative to create an event, organise a show.

Anybody can do it if they set their mind and their energy to it.

I second that, one hell of a DVD this is.

I havent really heard any material from Gorguts or Quo Vadis, however I really enjoy Cryptopsy's early work such as Blasphemy Made Flesh and None So Vile. I don't like The Unspoken King, but I don't think the band intended to betray their fans with a deathcore release, I believe they just wanted to try something out and see what would happen, which obviously didn't work. I heard they are going back to death metal with their new self-titled album coming soon.

Is Vengeful from Quebec? If so it would be them.

Yeah, from Montreal.

Cryptopsy of course

None So Vile is, to me, the only good thing Cryptopsy ever released. Gorguts is much more consistent (in a very loose sense of the word) and makes much better stuff like Considered Dead and Obscura. Quo Vadis remains on the fence for me.
