Formed in 2002 in Sept-Îles by Sébastien Langis and Louis-Joseph Renaud, Feast of Corpses is an extreme metal band. At the time, both individuals were members of the local band Erum Furor, which disbanded in 2001 following the relocation of some of its members. Afterwards, they began discussing a new project focused on serial killers. In January 2002, tired of constantly seeing the WTC on TV, the idea resurfaced: “If television can talk about it for six months, why not make an album about it?” They went on to write a song titled Falling Towers, drawing inspiration from the band Mortician and using a drum machine. The name Feast of Corpses was chosen in direct reference to that historical carnage.

​

The band’s first album, Unexpected Plan, was recorded in Hate’s apartment during the summer of 2003 and released on September 11, 2003. It received positive feedback from the local scene. In the spring and summer of 2008, they recorded their second album, Sickness of Mankind, in Bestial’s basement. The goal was to explore increasingly sadistic themes through music. The result also stems from a fascination with bizarre events used as lyrical material, and the drive to compose music that stimulates the bloodstream. The album was released in January 2008. Later, the band announced a new album slated for June 2010, this time with the renowned Flo Mounier as session drummer. Released in the fall of 2011, the album Sudden Death marked a logical step forward in terms of composition and arrangement, while preserving the more modern production style of the previous record—both having been mixed and mastered by Kim Gosselin.

In January 2020, Louis-Joseph was found deceased, leaving behind an unfinished album for which Sébastien Petitpas had taken on the role of session drummer. It then fell to the sole surviving member to complete the work as a fitting tribute to his long-time associate. Dominic “Forest” Lapointe joined the project as session bassist, adding a new dimension to the tracks to bring this unreleased album to life. Referencing the Indigenous legend of the Wendigo—which explores the theme of cannibalism—the name Feast of Corpses has never felt more appropriate. This work, arguably their most ambitious to date, could well serve as a powerful closing chapter to the story of a band that originated in one of the most remote regions of Québec.
