| After releasing a self-titled demo in 1995, Quo Vadis released, the following year, their first album, Forever... on VomiT Productions. The line-up for this debut included band founders Bart Frydrychowicz (lead guitarist), Yanic Bercier (drummer), Arie Itman (vocalist, rhythm guitarist and violinist) as well as bassist Rémy Beauchamp. In the year 2000, Hypnotic Records released the bands sophomore effort: Day Into Night. The line-up at this point remained unchanged. 2001 saw the release of the compilation album Passage In Time. This release featured two new songs as well as two live tracks and all unreleased tracks from the 1995 demo. In 2003, the band's line-up underwent a massive transformation. Vocalist/guitarist Arie Itman and bassist Rémy Beauchamp left the band and the remaining members recruited vocalist Stéphane Paré, rhythm guitarist William Seghers of Neuraxis, fretless bassist Dominic "Forest" Lapointe of Augury and Roxanne Constantin of Negativa as keyboardist. This line-up saw the recording and release on Skyscraper Music of 2004's Defiant Indoctrination. However, Steve DiGiorgio (Testament, Sebastian Bach & Friends, Death, Vintersorg, Sadus, Autopsy, Iced Earth, Dragonlord, Control Denied), a famed fretless bass virtuoso, was brought in to handle the bass duties. In 2005 a triple DVD was released, Defiant Indoctrination, documenting a concert in Montreal on 7 May 2005. At the show, they performed every song from their most recent album, Defiant Imagination, as well as various tracks from their other albums. In addition, the third disc contained the entire drum footage of the show, focusing entirely on drummer Yanic Bercier. Special attention was given to sound, the mix being handled by Jean-Francois Dagenais (Kataklysm, Misery Index). Guest musicians include famous Quebec cellist Claude Lamothe, Alex Auburn of Cryptopsy fame, bassist Dominique "Forest" Lapointe of Augury/Atheretic/Negativa, and a classical choir and violinist. The band also released a guitar tabulature book for Defiant Imagination. From 2006, William Seghers left Quo Vadis to fulfill his duties to his main band Neuraxis, thus local progressive metal guitarist Marc-André Gingras of the MAG project was brought in to perform the live rhythm guitar parts. On 6 September 2008, Quo Vadis played a concert at The Medley in Montreal, at which Stéphane Paré confirmed that he and Yanic would be leaving the band. Since then, Bart Frydrychowicz has recruited Patrice Hamelin (of Martyr) as drummer, Trevor Birnie (of Damascus) as vocalist and Roxanne Constantin (of Negativa) as Bassist. A rough mix of a new track, "Equilibrium," was released on the band's Myspace page on 25 October 2008. Since then, Bart has confirmed that work is under way on a new Quo Vadis album, expected to be released in early 2009 and accompanied by a tour. |

Очень интересный (на мой взгляд) и качественный материал рулят. Мелодичный, а иногда очень часто притрэшованный техно дэт.. Мне лично больше нравятся второй и третий альбомы - самые цепляющие. И, кстати, атмосфера на всех альбомах сабжа как-бы весёловатая, жизнерадостная, нету грусности и печальности.
) бас-гитары, потрясающая мелодичность (тем не менее, ни разу не превращающая материал в сладкие сопли), очень высокий уровень техники... Бля, перечислять все достоинства сабжа можно долго. Одна из лучших банд из Канады (в первой пятёрке точно) ever exists. 
ну а последняя балладная песенка с тетенькой на вокале просто 
). Кроме того на ранних альбомах в немалом количестве присутствовал треш метал а это лично для меня мимо кассы. Подправлю-ка я им рейтинг.
