Le Soleil: The Flaying: Maîtres du métal:
“Le guitariste Didier Samson se fait déjà appeler «Maître» dans sa profession d’avocat criminaliste, mais c’est au titre de «maîtres du métal» que lui et ses trois acolytes du groupe death metal The Flaying aspirent avec leur deuxième album Angry, Undead qui paraît le 22 mars sur l’étiquette émergente PRC Music.
The guitarist Didier Samson is already called “Master” in his profession of criminal lawyer, but it is under the title of “masters of the metal” that he and his three acolytes of the death metal band The Flaying aspire with their second album Angry, Undead which appears March 22 on the emerging label PRC Music.”
“The Flaying, hailing from Quebec City, churn out some of the sickest death metal jams you can find. Their album, Angry, Undead was released on PRC Music this past March and it’s a total ripper.” – Metal Injection
“True to the band’s name, the music of The Flaying will slash the skin from your face in paroxysms of blood-spraying savagery. But it does more than that. It will also suck the air from your lungs, boil the brain, and hammer your bones into fragments fine enough to blow away in the wind.” – No Clean Singing
“Angry, Undead is quite a number, I am really digging these addictive and mesmerizing death metal tunes and I am quite sure most of you technical and progressive death metal fans out there will feel the same about this album once you have checked this out. The Flaying is definitely a band to keep an eye and an ear on!” – Lords of Metal
“Solid and thoroughly enjoyable, The Flaying make a name for themselves on their second album.Angry, Undead is never at a loss for momentum and rage, and still manages to tickle your ears with its massive grooves and musical prowess.” Dead Rhetoric
“It is a savage, brutish and barbaric death metal album emphasized by the nasty groove of Elegy of Emptiness and the booming Angry, Unleashed. A fine addition to any death metal fan’s collection.” – Games, Brrrains & A Head-Banging Life
“They’re straight up death metal with no rules or gimmicks. They’re super groovy, great vocals you can understand, and dirty riffs with lots of tremolo mixed in for good measure.” – Technical Music Review
“I don’t know what’s with Quebec and great quality Technical Death Metal but we have another winner on our hands…. I needed to catch my breath because it was some pretty relentless blast beast and technical wizardry. I was glad to have a bit of a break before their unleashed some more crushing songs… they really hit a home run with this album and I wish them unrivaled success in the coming future.” – Metal-Temple
“Maintenant signée chez PRC Music, la formation de Québec The Flaying nous écorche déjà le tympan avec le premier extrait de leur nouvel album. Intitulée « La Valse du Scorpion », cette chanson propose un death metal durable et très consistant. Avec ce morceau sanguinolent qui provient du nouvel album Angry, Undead, The Flaying prend une fichue bouchée dans le genre mais en y ajoutant beaucoup plus de canines, ce qui permet de déchirer encore plus! Deuxième album pour le groupe, il est à prévoir que The Flaying sera un groupe à découvrir pour plusieurs amateurs de metal d’ici et même, d’ailleurs. Avec une livraison sonore qui peut plaire autant aux fanatiques de The Black Dahlia Murder que d’Aborted, The Flaying pourrait passer le râteau dans cette multitude de maniaques qui se nourrissent à même le carnage métallique.” – Voir
“Angry, Undead est satisfaisant car des breakdowns ont été insérés et les compositions sont loin d’être monotones. Honnêtement, toutes les fois que l’album se conclue je le réécoute car je n’arrive pas à m’en lasser.” – Thorium Mag

SHORT BIO
And it all began with the rope dancer….
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 ambiance 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. This product of this steadfast diablerie will be realized on March 22, 2019 when the second album “Angry, Undead” is unleashed on PRC Music.
LONG BIO
And it all began with the rope dancer….
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.
“The Flaying represents the process of removing the skin of one another while he is alive; feeling and watching in a state where he is immobilized with restraints and before curious persons who have gathered for the ceremony. It’s a metaphor to life’s scorching effect on human beings in their state of hopelessness. It’s a great means of torture, a brutal treatment, a total disrespect of human integrity.”
A testament to the perseverance of tired musicians that got through a huge process of genesis, the first full-length album Unhope was recorded at Hemisphere Studio with Antoine Baril in 2014 and cemented the exotic playing that the band was looking for. In 2016, the band decided to continue as a 4-piece with Seb, Did, Wil and Mike forging ahead in order to adopt a more brutal approach: adding new grooves, a greater velocity, and creating a wider ambiance 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 Did (guitars) working a lot with Mike (drums) on riffs and groove ideas, after which a global song structure is formed and thus begins the creative work with the whole band. Seb (bass) comes in and adds his low-end colors, blending the whole thing together. Finally, Wil (vocals) then works on his parts and flies above the song to create a manifest of pure mayhem. This product of this steadfast diablerie will be realized on March 22, 2019 when the second album “Angry, Undead” is unleashed on PRC Music.
