“If you’re looking for some catchy, clean and fun heavy metal, this EP delivers the good.” – The Metal Crypt
“Thrash la Raine was an interesting and weird combination: I hadn’t heard french metal in a while, yet their sound was similar to a band like Tribunal. Their songs ranged in subject from the plains of Abraham in Quebec, to dragons: this band has it all… fun and enjoyable to watch. ” – CJLO 1690 AM (Montreal, QC) (Live Review opening for Blaze Bayley – May 12, 2019)
“This is genuinely one of the finest albums of a year packed with incredible albums. All in all, Thrash La Reine are incredibly talented, as is clearly shown by how wonderfully they’ve blended different Metal sub-genres with some slight punk influence and very subtle Gothic undertone, all adding up to create a sound that is nothing short of an absolute joy to listen to. This album is simply euphoria in the form of French language Heavy Metal.” – Overdrive Mag
“flawless musicianship and excellent songwriting.” – Eternal Terror
“They are opening for a lot of bands for various walks of life. They have opened for some really established local bands and are definitely making a name for themselves. They have a refreshing sound and a very mature approach to their music and give one hell of a show. I had the chance to see them live a few weeks back and they have such energy and poise, it was a treat to see. They are not intimidated at all by the stage and they delivered some great tracks from their new album and even if they were the first band on stage that night, they established the frenetic pace nonetheless. 9/10” – Metal Temple
“Question musique, on navigue en plein dans le territoire de Running Wild (Garde La Foi) et Helloween (Thrash La Reine / Le Rédempteur), sur fond de propos dénonçant la religion, le pouvoir et la manipulation, avec toujours cet optimisme propre à tous les fans du genre qui fait perdurer la passion depuis les origines de notre musique préférée. Et quel son ! La production est vraiment très soignée et ne présage que le meilleur pour l’avenir, car si un mini-LP sonne de cette manière, que dire d’un futur album?” – No Name Radio
“Thrash La Reine is simply a wonderful trio of talented musicians who wear their influences on their sleeves. I can only imagine how potent and energetic their live performances are. My choice pick is “Le Redempteur” with its beautiful serpentine riffs and a classic speed metal feel, it thoroughly rocks. This album is exceptionally impressive and their musicianship is perfectly balanced. And they hail from Canada where my ancestors originated.” – Boston Rock Radio
“This album is simply euphoria in the form of French language Heavy Metal.” – Pinnacle Music
====================
FUN FACTS ABOUT THE BAND
1. Too many times, French-speaking people write their band name ‘Trash La Reine’ and not ‘Thrash La Reine’. They have to educate them about the difference between trash and thrash!
2. The band recorded the last songs of the album “Notre-Dame-de-l’Enfer” using the Voivod drums and amps that were in the studio.
3. For the song ‘Au Chant de l’Alouette’, we worked on three different versions of the song, to only choose one at the end.
4. The name Thrash La Reine means Thrash The Queen. Renaud got the idea while visiting London and thought it would be nice to see the Queen in a moshpit, thrashing to the sound of electric guitars and drums.
5. As a trio, the band was originally called Triforce, but too many people thought they were a Zelda tribute band.
