Formed in July 2010, The Flaying is a death metal band based in Quebec City, Canada that focuses on fluid melodic construction of songs featuring brutal sections which are further complemented by vocals with both low end growls and hateful high pitches.
Since their first release Unhope (2014), Seb, Did, Wil and Mike are forging ahead in order to adopt a more brutal approach: adding new grooves, a greater velocity, and creating a wider ambience as well as keeping breakdowns and progressive parts with counterpoints constructing a main theme of anger and a general hate of humanity.
Soldiering on with the philosophy of one band, four individuals, four personalities to collide, the writing process is a team effort initially seeing the band collaborate on riffs and groove ideas, adding a flourish of low-end colors, and blending the whole thing together with flying vocals that create a manifest of pure mayhem.
Now, THE FLAYING recently unleashed their assaulting sophomore album "Angry, Undead" via PRC Music this past March. Working with Christian Donaldson of Cryptopsy at The Grid in Montreal, QC, the album is pure mayhem for their fastest and most brutal debauchery to date. The concept of "Angry, Undead" is an intricate one with each of the eight songs falling under a distinct axis: Chaos (social manifestations); Madness (individual manifestations); and Void (existential manifestations). It is brutal, instinctive, unique, and wicked, and is recommended for fans of Cryptopsy, Archspire, Suffocation, and Deicide.
Teaming up with TheCirclePit.com, the band continues their savagery with their new video for "Genuflect", a ferocious track with blast beats and the signature Waltz Blast by drummer Mike Bélanger along with low ends grooves and lead melodies, tapping, slapping, popping and soloing by bassist Sebastien Marrier-Verret, plus relentless guitar shredding by Didier Samson and brute vocals from William Murray.
Watch "Genuflect" on The Circle Pit or below. Album order available on Bandcamp and PRC Music.
