Québec bands dictionary

(Translated by Michel Renaud)

Overview: This quartet from Beaupré has delighted metal fans in the Old Capital since the early 90's. A first album (In Our World) in 1994, then a second one in 1997 (The Dead Ringer) were praised by the specialized press on the Old Continent. Not surprising, considering that singer Pascal Cliche and his colleagues could give well known bands of the genre a run for their money, including Iron Maiden.

Hanker has completed recording Snakes And Ladders which should be released soon. If the predicted second wave in metal does happen, our friends should be at the forefront.

Similar bands: Deep Purple, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest.
