There’s lots of talk in Montreal music circles these days about a totally unique project that’s going under the name Les Ékorchés. Les Ékorchés is a band that modestly refuses to call itself a supergroup, but evidently has all the qualifications required to be referred to as such. Featuring within its ranks Michel “Away” Langevin (Voivod), Marc Vaillancourt (B.A.R.F.), Pat Gordon (Ghoulunatics) and Philippe Mius d’Entremont (Maruka), Les Ékorchés is brought to further heights by its off-the-wall premise that sparked the band in the first place: instead of playing straight-ahead metal or hardcore, the group puts forth a visceral, aggressive attack centred around acoustic guitar and cello. Yes, you read that right.

I don't know if I should be responding more to this cool article or the fact that it was posted by the mysterious #6. Good to see you are alive and hopefully, doing well, sir.
