The Sound of Québec Metal

“The Sound of Québec Metal” is a heavyweight collection showcasing the diverse and aggressive spirit of the province's metal scene. From the groove-laden force of Nova Spei’s “L’homme aux 1000 sourires” to the unrelenting fury of Ignominy’s “Defaulting Genetics,” this playlist spans a wide range of subgenres—from thrash and death to metalcore and extreme progressive styles. French and English lyrics collide throughout, capturing Québec’s bilingual identity while punching through walls of distortion and blast beats.

Features like Urban Aliens’ irreverent “Dans ta face” and the sharp-edged “Poltergeist Rebellion” by Althotas highlight the unique voices rising from the local underground. Veterans like Anonymus and Odium meet newer names like Fracturus and Incatombe, blending old-school grit with fresh aggression. Whether it’s the anthem-ready “Burn the Traitors” or the genre-bending chaos of “Iron Asparagus,” this playlist gives a solid overview of what modern Québec metal is putting to the table—loud, uncompromising, and unapologetically local.
