Laurent Bellemare is a death metal singer fascinated with the bizarre and unexpected. Since his humble beginnings in 2008, he has expanded his vocal range by incorporating all kinds of extended techniques into his various musical ventures. Notably, his interest in Central Asian throat singing led him to study in Taiwan and Mongolia with musicians Uuganbayar Altanbulag and Munkhbat Myagmarjav. Laurent speaks fluent French, English and Indonesian. As an extreme metal frontman, Laurent has recorded many albums with a plethora of bands (Sutrah, Serocs, Basalte, Tribunal, etc.) and performed at prestigious international events such as Festival Kesenian Yogyakarta (Indonesia, 2017), Killtown Deathfest (Denmark, 2019) and Dark Mofo (Australia, 2022). In the spring of 2022, Laurent performed for television show America’s Got Talent with Growlers Choir, a unique ensemble comprised only of metal singers. He occasionally gives growling lessons and workshops to those willing to learn the craft. Aside from being a vocalist, Laurent is also a drummer and percussionist notably involved with Balinese gamelan music. He recently completed a master’s degree in musicology with a focus on the development of Indonesian traditional music in Canada. Growing up as an avid video game enthusiast, Laurent has dreamed of lending his voice to monsters and creatures for a long time. He has recorded voice and sound effects for student animation and video game demos and is now ripe to push this skill further into the professionnal industry.
