Thrash La Reine

Thrash La Reine is a Canadian metal band known for their unique blend of thrash metal with folk influences. In 2021, they released the album "Notre-Dame-de-l'Enfer," which delves into French Canadian folk tales, incorporating instruments like mandoline, acoustic guitar, strings, accordion, and cowbell to create a festive yet dark atmosphere. The album was produced and mixed with the collaboration of Francis Perron, known for his work with Voivod. Thrash La Reine has shared the stage with notable bands such as Judas Priestess and Tim "Ripper" Owens, and their music often reflects their cultural heritage through French lyrics.

The band consists of Renaud Baril on guitar and vocals, Anthony Domm-Bélisle on bass and backing vocals, and Guillaume Leblanc on drums and backing vocals. They have a history of collaborating with other local bands, including Nova Spei, and are part of a thriving francophone metal scene in Montreal.
