The Flaying

The Flaying is a melodic death metal band from Quebec City, Canada, formed in July 2010. The band is known for its fluid melodic song construction, which often features brutal sections, low-end growls, and high-pitched vocals. The lineup includes Didier Samson on guitars, Sébastien Marier-Verret on bass, William Murray on vocals, and Michel Bélanger on drums. Their music style evolved over the years, becoming more aggressive with new grooves and a broader ambiance while maintaining progressive elements. Notable albums include their first full-length "Unhope" (2014) and their second album "Angry, Undead" (2019), which was produced by Christian Donaldson and earned them significant recognition in Quebec's music scene, including a GAMIQ Award for Metal Album of the Year in 2019.

The Flaying's music is a collaborative effort, reflecting the personalities of its members. The band has a strong connection to Quebec City, as evident in their video for "Place du Parvis," which celebrates the city's downtown area. However, The Flaying is currently listed as split-up. Despite this, their legacy as a melodic death metal band with a distinct sound and passionate fanbase continues to be celebrated within the genre.
