Lou Quinse

Lou Quinse - Parlen a nosta moda, sunen a nosta maneri - We speak our way, we play our way The fifteen” in langue d'oc, “The Devil”, fifteenth major arcana of Tarot. Conceived in 2006 in the mountains of Balme (Barmés), in val d'Ala, and become reality thanks to the matching of underground musicians of Torino, Lou Quinse wants to celebrate an heretical marriage between diabolic heavy metal and the cultural heritage of the western Alps. Traditional instruments such as hurdy-gurdy, flutes, accordeon, percussions and bagpipes find new life and energy crashing on a wall of waves and distorted vibrations generated by huge guitars, a deep bass and fast drums, while a pure metal voice screams and growls the words that have been sung in taverns, forests and cobblestoned streets for centuries. From the beginning, Lou Quinse has been “a really hot tempered and motivated band, combative promoters of Occitane and Alpine culture” (Metallus blog), performing intense shows, searching high grade atmospheres on the worst stages in Italy and Europe. In 2008 the band released the e.p. Lou Quinse, five tracks self-production in cd and digital. In 2010 follow Rondeau de la Forca, an eight tracks l.p. published in cd and digital in collaboration with High Voltage Records. In 2013 a co-production between independent labels, promoters and cultural associations releases the remastering by Tino Paratore of “Lou Quinse”, printed on vinyl, cd and digital, with the addition of Lo Pal/L'estaca, a new Catalan song. And now, Lo Sabbat is ready. Twelve tunes from various local repertoires, reinterpreted in an eclectic extreme metal style, recorded and mixed in an historic punk hardcore studio of Torino by Tino Paratore and mastered for digital platform upload, cd reproduction and double vinyl incision by Tom Kvalsvoll in Oslo. The Sabbat is ready to start. “The metal with which they contaminate the Occitan music is decisively extreme, but not for this less convincing. Lou Quinse's show was a genuine explosion of energy and enthusiasm, in both extreme metal and Occitan style.
